Unfabulous and More is the soundtrack album for the television series Unfabulous, performed by American actress Emma Roberts.[5] It was released on September 27, 2005.
The album contains songs from the show's first season, as well as several new songs. The tracks "I Wanna Be" and "Dummy" were both released as singles. The song "Mexican Wrestler", which was sung by Emma in the episode "The 66th Day", was originally on Jill Sobule's 2000 album Pink Pearl.
This album was one of the 52 from Sony BMG that were on the company's list of CDs shipped with the computer software known as Extended Copy Protection (XCP), as well as the only Nickelodeon-related CD originally shipped with the software.[6][7] As a result, any Microsoft Windows computer that has been used to play this CD is likely to have had XCP installed. This can cause a number of serious security problems. Several security software vendors, including Microsoft, regard XCP as a trojan horse, spyware, or rootkit.[8] Sony discontinued use of the technology on November 11, 2005,[9] and recalled this and other titles affected by XCP, and asked customers to submit copies affected by the software to the company so that it could replace them with copies that did not contain the software.[10]
