Vincent Martella, Mitchel Musso, Alyson Stoner and Ashley Tisdale all on one album? OK, it will be as their cartoon characters, but "Phineas & Ferb" producers Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy "Marsh report their Emmy-nominated song, "I Ain't Got No Rhythm," from the animated Disney Channel hit, will be making its way to a record store near you soon.

"They're talking about a soundtrack album next year as soon as the first season is over," says Povenmire, who co-writes the songs with his partner, Marsh, for the show that's been picked up for 39 more segments. "We write a song for every episode, and we've now written about 80 songs, I think. It's like this potpourri of weird, different songs -- some of them are pop, some like rock and roll. We did a Gaelic folk tune … Vincent Martella sang on the song that was nominated."
Povenmire and Marsh -- former musicians who've worked together in animation since meeting on "The Simpsons" 20 years ago -- also "sing on a few songs. We both do voices on the show, too." The Emmy nomination is a vindication of sorts, says Marsh, recalling their decision to include original music in the show was met with "trepidation. They'd been very standoffish about us writing, but we worked on 'High School Musical.' We know music. When we showed them the first song, this rock tune that Phineas and Ferb wrote when they became rock stars, they were like 'Can you write a song for every episode? And we said, 'Yes, we can.'"
YES, BUT CAN SHE SING?: L.A. music producer Cisco Adler, who is also currently performing with up-and-coming artist Shwayze, tells us he recently started his own music label, Banana Beat Records. His first priority is turning a top model into a top recording artist. "Lisa D'Amato is my first artist on Banana Beat," Adler tells us of the model, who appeared in the fifth cycle of "America's Next Top Model." "She's dope. She's like electro/rap." When asked if she's got what it takes to be a respected musician, he says, "To me she has. Now we've got to prove it to the world."
