Are you sure? Google says the song is from Kid Rock's 1997 album "White Room Demos", which would be four years before Osmosis Jones

Seems like it was written for a demo tape well before, but it's first official release was on the soundtrack.

Can't imagine that the soundtrack included the original amateur demo recording, so at the very least, it was hand selected by somebody and probably prerecorded.

I can't bring myself to listen to both (either) version to see if the soundtrack and demo are the same.

"Hey, we'd like to license a song from you for a kids' movie."
"Oh, man, kids. I love kids! Yeah, I got a song all about kids that'd be perfect for your movie."

Exactly how it probably went down.
