Howard the Duck is a comic book fictional character created by Steve Gerber for Marvel Comics and featured in several comic book series of the same name about the misadventures of an ill-tempered humanoid duck trapped in a human dominated world. Howard's adventures are generally parodies of science fiction and fantasy, written in a tongue-in-cheek style and combined with a degree of metafictional awareness of the limitations of the medium, often very experimental for a non-underground comic. There was a film adaptation with the same title in 1986.
The tracklisting for the original release was as follows:
Hunger City (04:12) Performed by Dolby's Cube featuring Cherry Bomb (lead vocals: Lea Thompson)
Howard the Duck (03:55) Performed by Dolby's Cube featuring Cherry Bomb (lead vocals: Lea Thompson, background vocals: George Clinton, guitar: Joe Walsh)
Don't Turn Away (05:05) Performed by Thomas Dolby, Harmonica: Stevie Wonder
It Don't Come Cheap (04:46) Performed by Dolby's Cube featuring Cherry Bomb (lead vocals: Lea Thompson, guitar: Joe Walsh)
I'm On My Way (02:55) Performed by Thomas Dolby
Lullaby of Duckland (02:28) (John Barry)
Journey To Earth (02:42) (John Barry)
You're the Duckiest (02:09) (John Barry)
Ultralight Flight (02:58) (John Barry)
Beddy-Bye for Howard (02:46) (John Barry)
Dark Overlord (05:30) (John Barry)
Also, on some B Sides of some of the album singles, an alternate version of "Don't Turn Away" was released with vocals entirely by Lea Thompson and this version is the same as the one featured in the movie.
Another notable song is the "Howard the Duck Megamix", a remix of the album track, and which was released as a B Side.
Hope this helps.

The critics hated that movie! I was ten at the time and I loved it! Didn't George Lucas produce it?
