Cocker 'writes songs for Brand movie'

Jarvis Cocker has written three songs tipped for inclusion in upcoming Russell Brand movie Get Him To The Greek, it has emerged.

The ex-Pulp frontman has penned material which will be performed by Brand's rockstar character Aldous Snow in the spinoff of last year's Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Billboard reports.

Cocker admitted that the songs were "rather silly, but it's a silly film".

Regarding a possible reunion of his former Britpop band, the singer added: "I better decide for sure pretty soon, because otherwise, I'll be too old."
