Product Description
14 CLASSIC 80'S HITS
Amazon.com
Sounding like a flashback of the first few years of MTV, the soundtrack of The Wedding Singer starts as an intended goof and ends up quite listenable, thanks. While a couple of these songs (Musical Youth's "Pass the Dutchie" in particular) had already fallen off the cultural radar by 1985, when the movie's action takes place, what's most impressive is the staying power most of them hold. If anything, the Psychedelic Furs' "Love My Way" sounds even better than it did then, and of course "How Soon Is Now," and "Blue Monday" are classics that have transcended their era: Just ask Matt Pinfield. Or Adam Sandler. Or Steven Morrissey. --Rickey Wright

5.0 out of 5 stars A great collection of the music that defined the 1980s, July 8, 2002

The Wedding Singer, besides being a wonderful movie, assembled a soundtrack crammed full of the best, most wide-ranging pop songs from the 1980s. This CD as well as the second soundtrack volume are must-haves for 80s aficionados. Among the most commonly known classics on this CD are "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" from The Police, "Hold Me Now" by The Thompson Twins, "White Wedding" by Billie Idol, and "China Girl" from the one and only David Bowie. Even the Culture Club track "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" is enjoyable amidst the other songs on the album. "Pass the Dutchie" is a somewhat forgotten, uniquely-80s hit. I was most pleased to see several tracks from more alternative bands of the 80s, such as "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Presidents of the United States of America, "Love My Way" by the Psychedelic Furs, "Blue Monday" by New Order (perhaps the ultimate dance song of the decade), and--one of my favorite songs of all time--"How Soon Is Now?" by The Smiths...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Party Likes It's 1985, December 5, 2000

This review is from: The Wedding Singer: Music From The Motion Picture (Audio CD)
The Wedding Singer is an extremely funny movie and part of its fun is that it takes place in 1985. The music culled from that era for this soundtrack shows off a nice range of music. Instead of going for the same old tired songs, this album has some nice surprises like The Smiths "How Soon Is Now?" and "Everyday I Write The Book" by Elvis Costello. "Pass The Dutchie" is a fun song (though it does tire a bit after repeat listens) and "White Wedding" by Billy Idol is a perfect fit for the film. The Presidents of the USA take on The Buggles' "Video Killed The Radio Star" is serviceable and "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?" by the Culture Club was used in the film, but it would have been funny to contain a version by Alexis Arquette from the film like they did with Ellen Dow on "Rapper's Delight". "Somebody Kill Me" is classic Adam Sandler and is very funny. The soundtrack does an excellent job of...Read more
