CD Details
Synopsis
Amazon.comBrian Robbins's film--starring David Arquette, Rose McGowan, and Oliver Platt--about the surreal world of professional wrestling features the adrenaline-pumping soundtrack you'd expect: Kid Rock, Motley Crue, the Offspring, even Run-DMC all make an appearance. No ballads need apply. By including music "inspired" by the motion picture as well as music actually from the film, the soundtrack pumps up to 13 tracks. Twisted Sister's mid-1980s rebellion anthem "We're Not Gonna Take It" is closely replicated by Bif Naked, while DJ Hurricane, featuring Stone Temple Pilots' singer Scott Weiland, cut, paste, and reinterpret Queen's mid-1970s anthem "We Will Rock You" into a disjointed jam. For humor's sake, Ahmet and Dweezil Zappa try their hand at Britney Spears's "...Baby One More Time," giving it a guitar-heavy translation. Kid Rock's "Bawitdaba" is retooled by Josh Abraham for the "Lower Than You" remix. The album is essentially one long body slam. --Rob O'Connor

Where is the King Theme? jefferyduckers | Tarin's House, Griffith Indiana USA | 04/11/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "This cd isn't too bad. It has some pretty good redone songs, which were apart of makin the movie good. Sting theme is pretty good. Where is the King theme though? C'mon" R2R Review 07/09/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This CD is awesome, I bought it the first day it came out because I saw the film and immediately I wanted the soundtrack. The best songs are "We're Not Gonna Take It", "Bawitdaba (Lower Than You Remix)", and "Last Resort." But the worst song was the first one, "Get Ready", the beginning was cool with Michael Buffer doing the intro but it was all downhill from there, the best part about the song is when it gets to the chorus. I like what they did to make sure that people knew that this was a *wrestling movie* soundtrack by putting remixes of the Diamond Dallas Page and Sting themes on it. Also, I enjoyed listening to The "...Baby One More Time" song, although the original is way better Ahmet and Dweezil Zappa did a cool version. I recommend this CD to any fan of the movie or just a fan of great music."
