About the Soundtrack
31 March 2005
The only adjective I can come up with to describe the soundtrack of this movie is "infectious". I can't stop listening to it. While most of the songs are corny and campy (as they should be since the movie is a spoof) they are ultimately wonderfully listen-able. But there are songs that are top notch folk material as well. Songs like "One More Time" and "When You're Next to Me" will stand tall against any great folk song that has ever been written.

Songs like "Potato's in the Paddy Wagon", "Blood on the Coal" and "Old Joe's Place" are just plain fun to listen to and will get you tapping your foot. You won't be able to help it, trust me. If I ever wanted to see a sequel to a movie and to a soundtrack, this is definitely the one.

I would venture to say, that even if you are not a fan of folk music, you will absolutely love this soundtrack. Throw in some insanely funny tracks like "Loco Man" and a cover of the Rolling Stones "Start Me Up" and you have a near masterpiece here.

If you ever need something that will get you laughing and smiling as well as snapping your fingers then buy this CD. You will not be disappointed.
