A great soundtrack for an entertaining movie. Rat Race features the title track from Baha Men (including an amusing choral version), plus "Who Let The Dogs Out?", the inevitably overplayed but still excellent "All Star" by Smashmouth, and a nice clip from the John Powell score. Some of the tracks are mild duds, such as Colony's kinda fun but ultimately wan "Happy", but these only somewhat dull moments are offset by otherwise excellent stuff like Hot Chocolate's lecherously fun "You Sexy Thing". Watch for "America Rocks" by the Hatch-Penny Band as unbilled track 11!

This soundtrack is one of the best I have ever heard!!! This is a really great feel-good album, cause it's really silly and lots of fun. I think the Amazon.com person went a little harsh on the poor Baha Men (I must be the only one that likes the music they make for movies), who I think came up with two amazingly goofy themes for a really catchy tune. But, come on, Smash Mouth....I think this is the third year in a row I've heard "All Star" in a movie, twice this year alone. The rest are all great. John Powell needs more movies to score, because it's great. GO MR. BEAN!!!!!!!

This review is from: Rat Race (Audio CD)

Here's a fun little CD! Enjoyed both versions of the title song "Rat Race", as well as "Who Let the Dogs Out?" [those filthy flea-infested mongrels]. Yep, there's an unannounced 11th track though, "America Rocks", which in the wake of the tragedy of September 11, 2001 seems to this licensed pilot to be rather a downer to be included with the rest of this goofy, fun compilation.
