Some Cow Fonque (More Tea, Vicar?) - Marsalis, Branford
Men in Black Main Theme - Elfman, Danny
Men in Black Closing Theme - Elfman, Danny
Former Coen brothers cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld has carved out a nice, if unlikely, niche as one of the '90s most consistently succesful directors (The Addams Family, Get Shorty), and the megahit alien spoof Men i... more »n Black only enhanced that reputation. The film's quirky MIB orchestral score by Danny Elfman is represented here by just two cuts; the feel-good hip-hop grooves of star Will Smith, Snoop Doggy Dogg, A Tribe Called Qwest, and others that take center stage instead. Still, a more convincing argument for "positive rap" would be hard to imagine. --Jerry McCulley« less

"To All those who wish to know the Elvis song played while J and K are traversing the tunnell to Queens, the song is "Promised Land" on his album also titled "Promised Land""
Title of the original

"The title of the original song was Forget Me Nots and I'm pretty sure it was by Patrice Rushen."
Underrated Soundtrack! Not Great But Not Bad Either!

"Men In Black, like most soundtracks these days, only has maybe a few related songs to the movie. The rest are just fillers. Still, it isn't too bad. In my view, Will Smith's original "Men In Black" song will always be the theme to me (didn't care for the one he made for the second film). I also liked the debuts of Alicia Keys and Destiny's Child as well. DC pretty much showed what was to come later. Alicia's showed off her musical skills but not her voice so it was a surprise that she came correct as she did later on.The rest of the songs were okay but the Snoop Dogg/JT song "Get Down On It" stands out as well as The Roots/D'Angelo song. Wouldn't pay full price for it but I'd buy it at a reduced price."
Pretty Good CD

"This CD really isn't as bad as others may have you think. Of course the MIB title song is great, but my friends and I just LOVED #2 (Just Wanna Party With You) and actually my original MIB CD is so scratched and nonoperable from tons of use that I'm getting another one. Also if you're looking for some of the great Alicia Key's earlier works, you'll find her voice on this soundtrack in a pretty good song."
I like movie soundtracks.
