This is a great soundtrack from a great movie. Half of the songs are "oldies" and the other half are new songs recorded for the movie. Some of the new songs are covers of old songs and some are new compositions. They all wonderfully capture the feel of early to mid '50s music. The songs are in a nice variety of styles, including corny pop, doo wop, rockabilly and r & b. As for the "oldies" included here, they are terrific. They are great songs that are not very well known. These aren't the same old songs that you hear on oldies stations every day. Songs like "Nosey Joe", "Bad Boy", "I'm So Young" and "Rubber Biscuit" should have been hits back in the day, but they weren't. Now these great rare songs are available for your listening pleasure. See the movie, then buy the album.

The USA cable network version of the movie has a few extra scenes, including two extra songs, "Chicken" and "The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane" and "Lay That Pistol Down" dance number.

This is a great movie, there are a few great songs that didn't make the soundtrack. One is 'Cadillacs and Women' by Doc Stark, and one that people keep thinking is "love that girl", its actually called 'Gee' by the 'Crows'. I hope that helps.
