3.0 out of 5 stars Big Oversight, April 13, 2000

Nice selection of songs, but why could they not have included the screaming Spaghetti Western theme by Ennio Morricone, originally from the film 'Navajo Joe', that plays whenever Tracy flips out? As a big Spaghetti Western fan, this amusing use of Morricone's music made Election a great film for me.

2.0 out of 5 stars The answer to a reviewer's question, May 10, 2006

This review is from: Election: Music From The Motion Picture (Audio CD)

The reviewer, "allouciksk" asked what is the song that is the "'tribal' war cry song thingy" you hear in the movie but not on the Election soundtrack. That song is "Navajo Joe" by Ennio Morricone. The movie starred Burt Reynolds. Ennio Morricone is famous as the composer of the spaghetti westerns soundtracks which starred Clint Eastwood. "Navajo Joe" is on many of Morricone's compilations.

4.0 out of 5 stars The soundtrack will launch the new band "Taxiride", May 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Election: Music From The Motion Picture (Audio CD)

The hook song of the soundtrack "Election" is the first one, a quick, energizing song called "Get Set" by newcomer band "Taxiride". The bulk of the soundtrack includes novelty, scene-only songs such as "Jennifer Juniper", reminiscent of early 70's shows and misty-look commercials. An oldie, but badie, is also included, the Commodores "Three Times a Lady". It is not my choice du jour, but it does fit nicely with the rest of the movie's 70mm beat. The best aspect of this soundtrack is that not all of these songs will be blasted all over music videos for months to come, rather, it will sit quietly, waiting for memory hungry movie viewers to listen and get whisked back to the antics of Flick and MacAllister. The song worthy of the 90's video hype is the infectious "Get Set". I just simply love that song...
