5.0 out of 5 stars Fun to listen to, June 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: George Of The Jungle: An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack (Audio CD)

If you're a "George of the Jungle" fan, you will love the soundtrack. My favorites are the ones directly from the movie (like "Dela" and the theme song), though a few of the "filler" tracks (such as "Go Ape: The Dance Mix" and "Jungle Band") are pretty good as well. Not much has been said about the wonderful Marc Shaiman score. I especially love the uplifting "George to the Rescue" track. Who can forget the part in the movie where George puts on a pair of Air Jordans and runs through the African savanna to rescue Ape? This wonderful score will bring back memories of the movie such as this. It's too bad the Walt Disney company didn't produce more copies of this soundtrack--now it's out of print and pretty hard to find. But if you can find a copy, it will be worth it!

4.0 out of 5 stars A quite good soundtrack, October 29, 2010

This review is from: George Of The Jungle: An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack (Audio CD)

In 1997 Walt Disney Pictures released a surprisingly funny live-action version of the old George of the Jungle cartoons. This soundtrack contains music from the movie, and as you might expect is a bit of a mixed bag. The Presidents of the United States of America produced a surprisingly flaccid title song, "watch out for that, bang, ew, tree..." Come on guys, put a little power in it!

But, the rest of the soundtrack is quite good, with Weird Al Yankovic producing a much, much better version of the old George of the Jungle song. But, that's not the only good track - Dela (I Know Why the Dog Howls at the Moon) by Johnny Clegg & Savuka is excellent as is the classic Wipe Out by The Surfaris. Yeah, this is a quite good soundtrack - give it a listen!
