SongsAn eclectic mix of new n' old make this a classic soundtrack, opening with Starship's "Wild Again" (not a patch on "Waiting For A Star To Fall") it picks up about half way with the GA Satellites bar anthem "Hippy Hippy Shake" and Bobby McFerrin's smooth classic "Don't Worry, Be Happy".
The Beach Boys steal the album with "Kokomo", whilst John Cougar Mellancamp revives the 80's almost as well as Kenny Loggins. Later on, Ry Cooder does a passable cover of "All Shook Up" (although Ricky Van Shelton would've done it better). This sets us up for the closing track, and old time rock n' roll hit: "Tutti Frutti" by Little Richard. Like the movie, this is a light, but pretty good album -and hey: it'll sound even better if you're sober...

Did you know that the feature song 'Kokomo' from the Beach Boys, is actually about a real place. As the song says, "off the Florida Keys, there's a place called Kokomo", it is a bar in a resort called The Holiday Isle in Isla Morada. So get there fast and then take it slow, way down in Kokomo.
