Rooted in the notion of positive musical messages for children, Walt Disney Records has assembled "A World of Happiness." Similar to the 1972 Marlo Thomas & Friends release "Free To Be You & Me," the compilation finds artists as diametrically opposed as Lou Rawls and Jane's Addiction/Porno For Pyros frontman Perry Farrell, as well as actors and celebrities singing about such lessons as being polite, learning from others and friendship.

The collection is due Feb. 2 and features the talents of such musicians as Lisa Loeb, Issac Hayes and Deborah Harry. A bit more out of their context , actors such as Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Bradley Whitford and Jane Kaczmarek, as well as basketball great Magic Johnson, also deliver songs and readings.
