Search - Lyle Workman :: Superbad

Superfunky!

"This soundtrack features funk classics alongside new material by Bootsy Collins. Unlike most movie soundtracks, "Superbad" is an instant classic that actually stands on its own without foreknowledge of the film. A fun, "superfunky" album!



One note for fans of the film: There are several songs from key points in the movie missing from the soundtrack, among those Ted Nugent's "Stranglehold," the Guess Who's "These Eyes," the Coup's "Pork and Beef," Van Halen's "Panama," and "Are You Man Enough" by the Four Tops. I'm guessing that they didn't include these songs (among others) because of the cost of licensing and/or they don't match the funk overtones of the album. If you're looking for the "missing" songs, I suggest grabbing them from iTunes and mixing them with this album to make your own compilation."

McLovin in the house

"Great stuff!! I just wanted to add a few more of the "missing" tracks that may not have been mentioned previously. When the cops are driving McLovin the radio is playing Barry and The Remains "Why do I Cry". At the party first Seth dances to "Echoes" by The Rapture. The song that plays right after that is the classic "Big Poppa" by Notorious B.I.G. Later in the movie songs played in the cop car: "Journey To The Center Of The Mind" by Amboy Dukes and "Baby Please Don't Go" by Van Morrison."

Where's the real soundtrack?

"Uh, this soundtrack has all the backing funk music which is cool, but it lacks all the songs that you might actually remember and made the movie so great.



Its missing: Panama by Van Halen, the dance song with Seth and the bloody leg, Notorious BIG's, These Eyes, etc.



Don't buy this unless you know what you are getting - a lot of funk by one artist, not the soundtrack you were hoping for."
