The soundtrack to THE WEDDING SINGER is a journey back to the days of skinny ties and voluminous hair. The roster consists of slower, more somber hits, of which there was no shortage among the bands of the English new wave. From the Smiths' hypnotic classic "How Soon Is Now?" to the fatalistic throb of New Order's "Blue Monday," THE WEDDING SINGER consciously avoids the light-hearted fluff for which the eighties are too often remembered. This noble purpose is helped along by the haunting "Love My Way" by The Psychedelic Furs and Billy Idol's amusingly macho "White Wedding." It's not all pouting and running eyeliner, however. In fact, the album opens with a modern re-working of the Buggles' classic "Video Killed The Radio Star" by The Presidents Of The United States Of America which is somehow even quirkier than the original. Also included are "Somebody Kill Me," an 80's-style send-up by the film's star, Adam Sandler, and a very bizarre version of "Rapper's Delight," sung by actress Ellen Dow.   Technical Info Release Date : 02/03/1998 Original Release Date : 1998 Catalog ID : 46840 Label : Maverick Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00093624684022    Product Image
