Okay then... Let it be known that the only reason I'm giving this CD five stars is because it has "Blue Monday" and "How Soon Is Now?" on it. And the Adam Sandler song is funny (I've never seen the movie, though...). HEY EVERYBODY! How come nobody's mentioned "Blue Monday"? That's probably the best dance song of all time!! When you listen to it you HAVE to dance! It's like a magic wand! When you Dance! DANCE!! That drum fill right before the "I see a ship in the harbor" line is AMAZING!! Dancey + hypnotic + awesome drums = JUST THE COOLEST!

"How Soon Is Now?" is good, but whenever I wore my Smiths shirt in school I always got called a dork. By EVERYBODY. Even some of the other dorks called me a dork. There were maybe three dorks in the whole school who were dorkier than I was when I wore my Smiths shirt. Even the girls I had crushes on called me a dork. I guess that's life sometimes.


A good mix of 80's music and a great soundtrack!   February 22, 2002

I loved "The wedding singer" and ran out to purchase this c.d. soon after I saw the movie in the theaters.
"Pass the Dutchie" is a lost one hit wonder, and I really wanted it on c.d. That is the main reason I really wanted it, but I was very happy with the whole c.d. It is great, with the exception of Culture Club. I know they were big in 1985, but I never liked them.
The rest of the album has quite a unique collection of 80's songs ranging from "How soon is now" by The Smiths to "Pass the Dutchie" by Musical youth to one of the founding fathers of rap's great rap classic, "rapper's delight" by Sugarhill Gang(with a guest vocal from the cute little older neighbor played by Ellen Dow from the movie)
It's a fun c.d. to bring us early 30somethings back to our teenage years. Check this one out! Worth buying if you like the movie!!


A nice 80's time capsule...   December 16, 2004

A nice 80's time capsule. From the obvious (Police, Billy Idol, Culture Club), to the hip (The Smiths, The Furs, Elvis, Bowie, New Order) to why? (Musical Youth, Presidents Of The USA covering Video Killed The Radio Star).


A Fitting Tribute to the 80's   April 28, 2000

I loved The Wedding Singer, and I wanted the soundtrack, because I loved Adam Sandler's "Somebody Kill Me". Not only is that song great, but so is every other song on the album. "Blue Monday" and "Video Killed the Radio Star" are particularly great. Even the soundbites from the movie are a treat (instead of an annoyance, like I usually find them). This is a really FUN album, you won't be disappointed.


SAVE YOUR FIFTEEN BUCKS   February 5, 1999

Save your fifteen bucks, or better yet go down to the nearest Karaoke Bar and buy yourself a couple of stiff drinks. Unless you want a long ride back to the eighties, avoid this album.
