3.0 out of 5 stars Opening Song, December 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Something's Gotta Give (Audio CD)

I noticed that a lot of people were wanting to know what the name of the opening rap song was. It's "Butterfly" by Crazy Town. It's a great song (one of my faves)and I hope this helps!
The movie was good and I thought that it had a great soundtrack, but I'm disappointed that they left that song off of the soudtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Veryvery American!, May 30, 2004

"nyctko" (Japan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Something's Gotta Give (Audio CD)

I wonder why some Americans don't appreciate this
kind of CD too much.

I was a Japanese tourist to NYC visiting a friend,
watched this movie there and bought this CD at
"Banes&nobles", a big shop. Back in Japan I'm playing
this CD during dinner telling my parents "This is
American love songs in a little French taste", that's
making their dinner like a dinner in the heaven!
65 father get romantic with 63 mother having Japanese
food and sake listening to this CD. so it works for
you too! They even didn't watch this movie! Very very
good movie music. You can have Louis Armstrong and
Jack Nicholson singing the same song "LA VIE EN ROSE"
very New York! NYC is always good at adopting different
culture this time adopting French works good on this CD.
I'm very much happy having this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars "And When You Speak, Angels Sing From Above . . . Everyday Words Seem To Turn Into Love Songs", November 21, 2007

This review is from: Something's Gotta Give (Audio CD)

"La Vie En Rose"
Beautiful Words and Music by Louiguy, Edith Piaf and Mack David

"Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ca m'fait quelque chose

Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause
C'est lui pour moi
Moi pour lui dans la vie
Il me l'a dit l'a juré
Pour la vie

Et dès que je l'apercois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat"

I have enjoyed the movie "Something's Gotta Give" as much as I enjoy listening to this original movie soundtrack. The movie is very entertaining and this soundtrack is such a delight to listen to. I gave a copy to my beauty and brains sister, a great and caring Physician who paints as a hobby, has taken French lessons, can speak conversational French and can sing "La Vie En Rose" in French. We both love this soundtrack and I dedicate this review to her.

The 14 tracks are all wonderful and so pleasing and entertaining. Louie Armstrong opens this gorgeous presentation with an English version of our all-time favorite song "La Vie En Rose" followed by Steve Tyrell's outstanding rendition of a Gershwin gem, beautiful and timeless "I've Got A Crush On You." Astrud Gilberto's mysteriously alluring voice can be heard in "So Nice" (Summer Samba).

Let The Flamingos enfold you with a sense of nostalgia as they sing a charming version of "I Only Have Eyes For You." Eartha Kitt will dazzle you as she delivers my sister's favorite songs "Je Cherche Un Homme" and "C'est Si Bon." And ditto with Charles Trénet's "Que Reste-T'il Nos Amour" and Les Escrocs' performance of "Assedic." A great jazz icon, Django Reinhardt, interprets "Brazil" in such an amazing and one-of-a-kind performance that you'll completely enjoy.

My sister and I both love Coralie Clément's rendition of an enchanting song with a Bossa Nova flavor, "Samba De Mon Coeur Qui Bat." Jack Nicholson does a remarkable par excellence performance in the finale, "La Vie En Rose," in English and French as well. (French lyric courtesy of my sister. Merci beaucoup, soeur!).

"Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me, heaven sighs
I see la vie en rose

When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak, angels sing from above
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs

Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose"

This is a beautiful CD and a welcome addition to your collection of original movie soundtracks. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
