To answer at least one of Rob O'Connor's questions from the above Amazon.com review: Stayin' Alive is included because it is featured in the movie. Imagine that, a song on a soundtrack that was in the movie... strange thing indeed. The same goes for the Heart song Majic Man. Beyond that the rest of this "soundtrack" are songs that the creators of the movie used as "inspiration". Royal Crown Revue is included here since RCR was the band the Jon Favreau used to dance to at the Derby before Big Bad Voodoo Daddy took over. Other songs are tunes that they wanted to include but could not afford at the time. All in all it's a nice companion to the original. There is a nice photo booklet included. This album is not meant to be a scrapbook of the "swing scene" and lindy hoppers, but a portrait of the music in and around the retro-lounge lifestyle.

This 2nd Swingers Soundtrack is not bad. It only has maby 2 or 3 songs that are acutally in the movie, but its not bad. I personally like the first soundtrack better. It has more songs from the movie and is just all around better. This one is good to but I like the first one better and I think you will to.

Finally there is a soundtrack sequel out there that I liked the first one enough to buy the secound. It isn't quite as good as the first one yet it is very enjoyable. I couldn't help but buy it when I saw it on the sales racks. Check it out if you like the original. The only complaint is that it is too short. Some dialogue from the film would be nice.

...Because this CD has my all-time favorite dance song on it: Baby (You've Got What It Takes). It took me 2 weeks to find the version I liked after I first heard Dinah and Brook's fabulous standard-setting rendition. Such fun! The rest is good too, with the exception of the swing version of "Stayin' Alive," which I find simply awful. The Heart song that was left off the original makes for a good mix. If it was a record I would have wonr it out in just the first few weeks!

Swingers is a a CLASSIC! This CD is also wonderful and Marty and Alain make it worth the buy. A must have any any Swingers fan.
