Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George is a soundtrack album for the 2006 animated film Curious George consisting of newly-recorded music by Jack Johnson "and Friends". It was released on February 7, 2006. The "Friends" are Ben Harper, G. Love, Matt Costa, and Kawika Kahiapo, each of whom accompanies Johnson and his band on one track.

The album topped the charts in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, where it remained at No. 1 for four consecutive weeks. On February 25, it became the first soundtrack to reach the top of the U.S. Billboard 200 chart since the Bad Boys II soundtrack in August 2003, and the first animated film to top the chart since the Pocahontas soundtrack reigned for one week in July 1995.
