SOUNDTRACK REVIEW:
If hangovers can be cured by listening to songs like those
represented on this album, this reviewer would not mind drinking
his heart out every night. The Todd Phillips directed movie
tells of a groom and his groomsmen travelling to Las Vegas
for a bachelor’s party, only to have the groom missing
the next morning. Not a very nice thing, if this actually
happened to you in real life. But with the company of this
36 minute album, things may not be that drowsily miserable.
The collection of 12 songs kicks off with
Mexican American rock and roll artist El Vez’s rendition
of “It’s Now or Never”, a swaggering guilty
pleasure which will having you swaying to the loopy beats.
Danzig’s hypnotic “Thirteen” follows the
opening track, and this cue would please those who love soft
rock. The American all female hard rock band The Donnas ups
the energy level by notches with “Take It Off”,
promising you an ear piercing listening experience.
American punk band gives their sexiest performance
of the popular tune “Fever”, soothing your gentle
nerves. After pioneer rock artist Gene Vincent & His Blue
Caps’ vintage sounding “Wedding Bells (Are Breaking
Up That Old Gang of Mine)”, we get multi talented Phil
Collins’ “In the Air Tonight”. How can anyone
not be heartbroken when the singer songwriter soulfully croons
the heartrending lyrics “But I know the reason why you
keep your silence up/ No you don’t fool me/ The hurt
doesn’t show/ But the pain still grows”?
This is one classic track you want to listen
to when you are down and out.
The humour picks up with Ed Helms’
(one of the hilarious groomsmen in the movie) “Stu’s
Song”. If the actor gives up acting, he can seriously
consider cutting an album. After a series of very accessible
songs (and aptly titled ones, too) like Treat Her Tonight’s
“Rhythm and Booze” and Zach Galifianakis’
“Three Best Friends”, the album is rounded up
with the very amusing (explicit lyrics included) song “Candy
Shop”. Performed by the American Dan Finnerty and The
Dan Band, the song talks about, well, hitting the spot and
licking lollipops – you’ve got to listen it to
realise its hilarity.
Now,
with a collection of diverse songs like this, it’s definitely
worth getting a morning hangover every now and then.
