It was nominated at the 57th Academy Awards for Best Original Song , but lost to Stevie Wonder 's " I Just Called to Say I Love You " . A lawsuit , regarding Parker 's plagiarism of Huey Lewis and the News 's song " I Want a New Drug " , resulted in Lewis receiving a settlement . The drums used in this song are the famous Linn Drums , which had its samples heavily edited to give the song both a serious and eerie feeling at the same time
