Good vibrations

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Mix together the oevre of Cheech and Chong, the wit of The Big Lebowski, the hipness of Dazed and Confused, the sweetness of Sixteen Candles, the scatology of American Pie and There's Something About Mary, a shofar, some kimchi and a shake of curry powder and you get this fun film. And this soundtrack lets you relive the buddy-sense and sheer fun of the film experience. Sadly, there is no Left of Zed; and the liner notes are sparse. I had hoped the liner notes would explain the score selections, but they only list the cut titles. Best among the cuts are (14) Ridin, by Classic & 86, with a great beat and electric organ that evokes the pot infused film with rap sensibilities; (2) One Good Spliff, by Ziggy Marley and The Melody Makers puts you in the relaxing, good vibration, inspired mood needed for an evening of decompression; (11) Mary Jane, by the late Rick James (I'm in love with Mary Jane... takes me to paradise...); (8) Crazy On You, by Heart; (4) Righteous Dub by the Long Beach Dub Allstars is infused with the slow reggae beat and triangles (the only love that's righteous is the love of jah); and the reason for buying the CD - Wilson Phillips, "Hold On" from the car CD player scene."

Songs in the movie, but not on the OST

"This is both an answer to the question about the song that plays at the end and also an FYI for all songs not on the OST. The song that plays during the presentation of the food is "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss and performed by David Kitay. You can find all the songs in the movie at the IMDB website."
