2.0 out of 5 stars That Funky song you're looking for isn't on this CD, July 5, 2002

If you're like me, you pulled up this CD hoping to find the funky instrumental that provided the background for one of the game scenes. That song (for some unknown reason) isn't on this CD. The song you're looking for is called "Super Bad" or "Call Me Super Bad". It's from the Godfather of Soul, James Brown. You can pick up the original version on his greatest hits CD available from Amazon. I've been unable to locate the 100% instrumental version. I suppose it's possible that version was cut and mixed exclusively for the movie.

By the way, if you like that kind of funky music, but you have a hard time finding sources - I suggest you pull up a group called Galactic. These guys are from New Orleans and they're fairly current..I really like their "Coolin Off" CD...great production values and musicianship.

2.0 out of 5 stars A little old but still good, July 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: White Men Can't Jump (Audio CD)

If you bought this soundtrack when the movie first came out you would have loved it, at this point some of the music is dated but it's still good.Aretha Franklin has a song "I Guess I Get It Wrong"(from the scene where Billy Ho loses his girlfriend) that is simply classic R&B. The title track "White Men Can't Jump" is funny to listen to and the production reminds you of some of Teddy Riley's stuff with Guy. The best part of the soundtrack is the last track " Just a Closer Walk With Thee" a gospel song sung acapella. All and all worth a listen.
