Delicious soundtrack to acid-induced movie...Friday, October 01, 2004
Man, the movie is one of a kind. The soundtrack is so fun.
My favorite tracks are 'Forbidden Zone', 'Hercules Family', 'Some of these Days', 'Squeezit's Vision of His "Sister"', 'Queen's Revenge', 'Love Theme-Squeezit and the Chickens', 'Flash and Gramps', 'Alphabet Song'(that one I can't live without), 'Squeezit and the Moocher'(Danny is sensational in that one), 'Yiddishe Charleston'. Well, I love them all.
I had just gotten this CD in the mail today and can't stop playing it.
Though I don't recommend the movie to everyone, I recommend the soundtrack to everyone. It's great.

An audio delight.Monday, October 28, 2002
This is my favorite soundtrack by Danny Elfman. A goofy upbeat oompapa through and through. Each trak is as daring and provocative as the previous and will have the listener humming and toe tapping to it's upswing beat. Each trak will have you dancing in the aisles and swinging from the cieling fan as Oingo Boingo and the rest belts out each tune like Benny Goodman on [something]. Yes, and the swarthy tootlings of Squeezit the Moocher will have you screaming for more. I highly recomend this CD to any highbrow misic lover.

So much fun it should be illegal.Friday, October 19, 2001
Great movie, great soundtrack. I can't describe the movie any better than has been done by other reviewers here... just see it!
This soundtrack holds-up well as a stand-alone piece, with catchy instrumentals linking together some original songs from the movie....
Highly recommended, especially for O.B. fans.

See It If you canFriday, June 22, 2001
The Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo. Danny Elfman. Richard Elfman. That's all that needs to be said. Get this...but see the movie first. It's like a live action Betty Boop cartoon. You can still order it from Richard Elfman's web site!

An excellent soundtrack for a hilarious movieThursday, June 07, 2001
The fact that this soundtrack is just as good as his today shows what a bargain Richard got him for. Amazingly, Richard himself still has a few copies of the film available from his website (I got one myself). The Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo make their stunning appearance with Danny Elfman as Satan, along with a musical number.
The music itself varies from insane to moving, as he puts songs appropriately with the scenes. He took a song off this album for his "Music for a Darkened Theater Vol. 1" the Love Theme. This is still my favorite from this album, but the other songs deserve their due.
The title theme fits the movie well, but stands well on its own. If you saw the Dilbert TV show, you'll recognize it: they are the same song.
And the aforementioned "Alphabet Song" is a classic. Once you see the movie, you'll know why its so catchy!
