Karen O Taking On Fat Kids

Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer Karen O is taking on fat people.

O's "All Is Love," which will be featured in the upcoming Spike Jonze film adaptation of Maurice Sendak's children's book Where The Wild Things Are, is being used in an anti-obesity public service announcement.

The clip features footage from the film, which opens Oct. 16, before concluding with the question: "Did you play today?" It's part of a U.S. Department of Health & Human Services campaign to combat childhood obesity.

Karen O and Carter Burwell (Twilight, Burn After Reading) wrote the music for Where The Wild Things Are. The film's trailer uses Arcade Fire's "Wake Up."
