True again, but still not what I was looking for.

My guess would be the composers, but other than that, I am stumped.

Yes, Randy Newman is a key part of the answer.

To review:

One of these songs is not like the others, and the answer has to do with Randy Newman:

You've Got a Friend in Me
When She Loved Me
If I Didn't Have You
Our Town
Down to Earth
Down in New Orleans
My Name Is James
The Time of Your Life
We Belong Together

Randy Newman did all of them except for Our Town? I know that he did Toy Story (and presumably Toy Story 2), James, Monsters, and Princess and the Frog. I'm not sure what Down to Earth is from (Wall-E?), but I'll assume he did that one too.

Randy Newman wrote "Our Town." There's one he didn't, though.

Down to Earth, then?

 

Originally Posted By alexbook

Yep. It's from WALL-E, and it was written by Thomas Newman (Randy's cousin) and Peter Gabriel.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros

Nope, and not the odd one out. Think about the actors/actresses in each one. This might be kind of a tough one...
