1.0 out of 5 stars What the Real Shag Sountrack Should Be, March 10, 2005
By Jenni (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
I must have too much time on my hands... Anyways, I was greatly disappointed that the "soundtrack" didn't include even one of my favorite songs from the movie, so I've done my own research and here is a list of the songs that were in the movie and should be on the soundtrack. Most of these songs can be found on albums available on Amazon.
Monkey Time - Major Lance
Ooh Aah - Jakki O
Stagger Lee - Lloyd Price
It Will Stand - The Showmen
Easier Said Than Done - The Essex
Baby Work Out - Jackie Wilson
Since I Don't Have You - Skyliners
Sixty-Minute Man - Billy Ward

I hope this helps!

2.0 out of 5 stars Shag The Movie - A Missed Opportunity For A Great Soundtrack, September 15, 1998
By A Customer
Shag The Movie soundtrack is a missed opportunity. The tracks on the audio CD are good to be sure. But it is what is not on the CD that is a major disappointment for anyone who has seen this movie.

The movie opens up with the Shirelles' classic "Mama Said" (left off this compilation). And down at Myrtle Beach at the dance hall where all the action takes place, three great renditions of rock/R&B classics are not on this "soundtrack " CD! Those songs are "Stagger Lee", "Sixty Minute Man", and "Stay". Each of these classics are featured songs in the movie. Moreover, the movie reaches its climax at the Shag Dance Contest with all that great hoofing done to "Stagger Lee". Leaving this track off the CD would be like leaving "Unchained Melody" by the Righteaous Brothers off the Ghost CD soundtrack!

It is a shame that what would could have been a great CD is not. Anyone who has seen this movie has to wonder how these, and other tracks that were a major part of the film score, were not included.

2.0 out of 5 stars I was very disapointed with this soundtrack, January 28, 1999
By A Customer
When I first saw the movie SHAG, I fell in love with the 60's music that was played and made an immense effort to go to the store and purchase the soundtrack. Much to my dismay, the soundtrack lacked the songs I had come to buy. Such songs as "Mama Said", and "60 minute man" failed to be on the soundtrack. With these few songs, I think many more copies would be sold. How could such a brilliantly composed movie fail to include its masterpieces on the soundtrack? I don't know!
