Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland will have a new song in stores when the highly anticipated soundtrack to the Mike Myers movie, "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me," is released.

The soundtrack features the singer's collaboration with Big Blue Missile on a cover of the Zombies classic "Time of the Season." Weiland believes that rock music is making a return from the dead, and he told MTV News all about it during a recent stay in the studio with Limp Bizkit leader Fred Durst.

"There's starting to be some excitement within rock and roll again," Weiland told MTV News. "You know, I think rock and roll and alternative music has gotten fairly stale and kind of boring in the last couple of years, since the earlier part of the '90s. And there's some good things happening again, sort of like a breath of fresh air. You know, bands like Limp Bizkit and Korn... Orgy, and a few others."

Also resuscitating rock on the star-studded "Austin Powers" soundtrack are such acts as Madonna, Lenny Kravitz, R.E.M., and "Scary Spice" Melanie G (see "'Austin Powers' Lures Scott Weiland, Flaming Lips"). The album is out on Tuesday.

Back over to you, Scott: "This is the first time since Core that there hasn't been anything to distract us artistically, and there hasn't been anything to get in the way of our personal relationships with each other. We sort of have a chemistry again that we were missing over the last few years, and I think we all feel very excited and optimistic about what this record could bring to us from a musical standpoint."

More shagadelic artists have signed on for the soundtrack to the upcoming Mike Myers flick "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me."

The always-intriguing Scott Weiland will join the Big Blue Missile for a version of the Zombies chestnut "Time of the Season," while the Lucy Nation and the Flaming Lips will be weighing in with "All Right" and "Buggin'" respectively.

Weiland can now be added to the list of artists already reported to be contributing cover songs to the soundtrack. R.E.M. has recorded a version of Tommy James and the Shondells' "Draggin' the Line;" Lenny Kravitz has reworked the 1970 Guess Who stomper "American Woman;" and Scary Spice Mel G. has teamed up with Timbaland for Cameo's "Word Up." Not to be outdone, Dr. Evil himself (a.k.a. Myers) will be crooning "Just the Two of Us," which was originally recorded by Bill Withers and Grover Washington Jr.

Other big-name apperances include Green Day ("Espionage") and Madonna, whose "Beautiful Stranger" was produced by William Orbit (see "Madonna, Green Day, R.E.M., Kravitz, Others To Join 'Austin Powers'").

Genuine groovy flavor will be provided by Burt Bacharach, who has again teamed up with Elvis Costello for a version of Bacharach's own "I'll Never Fall In Love Again." The Quincy Jones instrumental "Soul Bossa Nova," which accompanied the opening '60s sequence from the original "Austin Powers" movie, is scheduled to make a return soundtrack appearance as well. The album is scheduled to be in stores on June 1.

Meanwhile, Kravitz and "Shagged" co-star Heather Graham recently took to the desert to shoot the video for "American Woman," the first single off the soundtrack. Graham plays Felicity Shagwell (Powers' new babe of the moment) in the film, which will be in theaters on June 15.
