CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Anyone looking to comprehend the understated power of the Rat Pack should first read Nick Tosches's brilliant Dean Martin biography Dino: Living High in the Dirty Business of Dreams. By cutting past nightclub clichés to matters both carnal and appreciably dark, Tosches locates the music and the period's special appeal. Looking to take that bygone era a few steps closer to absurdity, try this collection--a mop-up of tracks featured in the movie Swingers, but left off the original soundtrack. Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Mel Torme, and the awkward Ann-Margret are all naturals and deserve to be here. But you have to wonder who invited Paul Anka to this party. Probably the same joker who added Marty & Elaine's cover of the Bee Gees' "Staying Alive" and Heart's completely out-of-place hard rock contribution, "Magic Man." Very strange, indeed. --Rob O'Connor Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsNice companion to the original, but not necessary Vincent J Gudzinskas | 08/28/2000 (3 out of 5 stars) "To answer at least one of Rob O'Connor's questions from the above Amazon.com review: Stayin' Alive is included because it is featured in the movie. Imagine that, a song on a soundtrack that was in the movie... strange thing indeed. The same goes for the Heart song Majic Man. Beyond that the rest of this "soundtrack" are songs that the creators of the movie used as "inspiration". Royal Crown Revue is included here since RCR was the band the Jon Favreau used to dance to at the Derby before Big Bad Voodoo Daddy took over. Other songs are tunes that they wanted to include but could not afford at the time. All in all it's a nice companion to the original. There is a nice photo booklet included. This album is not meant to be a scrapbook of the "swing scene" and lindy hoppers, but a portrait of the music in and around the retro-lounge lifestyle." Not Bad...good Swingers music...more 2 1/2 stars than 2 Mark Wegener | Plano, TX | 09/30/1999 (2 out of 5 stars) "This 2nd Swingers Soundtrack is not bad. It only has maby 2 or 3 songs that are acutally in the movie, but its not bad. I personally like the first soundtrack better. It has more songs from the movie and is just all around better. This one is good to but I like the first one better and I think you will to." The ultimate soundtrack sequel! Mark Wegener | 10/05/1999 (4 out of 5 stars) "Finally there is a soundtrack sequel out there that I liked the first one enough to buy the secound. It isn't quite as good as the first one yet it is very enjoyable. I couldn't help but buy it when I saw it on the sales racks. Check it out if you like the original. The only complaint is that it is too short. Some dialogue from the film would be nice."
