Suite From Fred Claus - Christophe Beck ~ Original Soundtrack   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info This soundtrack to the 2007 comedy FRED CLAUS, which stars Vince Vaughn as Santa Claus's dour brother, features a fine selection of classic Christmas tunes from various decades. Highlights of the decidedly upbeat set include Elvis Presley's bluesy "Santa Claus Is Back in Town," the Jackson 5's funky "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," and the Waitresses' sassy "Christmas Wrapping." Holiday films rarely break new ground when it comes to their accompanying soundtracks and this collection of yuletide cheer from the Paul Giamatti and Vince Vaughn comedy Fred Claus is no exception. That said, there are far worse people to spend your Christmas with than Elvis ("Santa Claus Is Back in Town"), Dean Martin ("Let It Snow"), Doris Day ("Here Comes Santa Claus"), and the Jackson Five ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), and the inclusion of the occasional odd contemporary cut from the likes of the Waitresses ("Christmas Wrapping") and Sin?ad O'Connor ("Silent Night") keeps things from descending into a blur of shopping mall-induced dementia, making this trip down memory lane a reliable joy. ~ James Christopher Monger   Associated Artists and Works California Dreams Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack   Technical Info Release Date : 11/20/2007 Original Release Date : 2007 Catalog ID : 3772122 Label : Warner Bros.
