"Alley" from Chicken Little on the Xbox, GameCube, PlayStation 2, and Windows (2005)
Composer: Billy Martin
Album: No Official Album Released
Publisher: Buena Vista Games
Developer: Avalanche Software
One of the reasons I love listening to music across 30 years of consoles using an RNG is coming across songs like "Alley" from Chicken Little. I probably wouldn't have listened to this soundtrack because this isn't the type of game I'd ever really play. I wasn't the target audience for the movie when it came out, or this video game adaptation. That being said, "Alley" actually never made it into the final game because it was cut at some point. There's speculation as to why it was cut, but nothing definitive.
I find it really interesting, though, that after listening to the entire soundtrack, this one song stuck out to me as one of my favorites, and yet it's one of several unused tracks in the game still in the game files before it was shipped. Over the years, I've come across several songs that were cut from games for various reasons, and I'm at least happy that these pieces have been able to see the light of day in some form, even if that form is not in the video game they were originally composed for.
