Funny little score

"I don't know the circumstances that led Danny Elfman to only compose the main titles and ending selection for this soundtrack, but his compositions are quite fun. Definitely a switch from his dark stuff, it harkens back to his Oingo Boingo days, with a twist of Caribbean. The rest of the album is okay, listenable, but nothing to rave about. It's fun and bouncy in the style of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and Back to School. (Sheffer has conducted some of Elfman's scores, so I think it has rubbed off on him.) I got it cheap, and I would say try to find it on sale, unless you're one of those If-It's-Elfman-I've-Got-to-Have-It people."
