Product Description

An unreleased track from The Donnas, A Simple Plan's remake of the Turtles' "Happy Together" and Bowling For Soup's genius rendition of Britney Spears' "Hit Me Baby One More Time" are among the highlights on Hollywood Records' "Freaky Friday" soundtrack.

"Freaky Friday" also features music from a number of today's hottest new artists, including spunky Canadian quartet Lillix, who cover the Romantics' "What I Like About You," Diffuser, whose "I Wonder" also appears on their highly anticipated upcoming album "Making The Grade," Ashlee Simpson ("Just Let Me Cry") and "Freaky Friday" star Lindsay Lohan, who makes her recording debut with the bouncy pop rock track "Ultimate."

5.0 out of 5 stars A poppy soundtrack but its very very fun to listen to!, August 9, 2003

By	Slothmo (CA) - See all my reviews

I just saw the Freaky Friday movie and I loved it so much, and I loved the songs in it. I immediately went and bought the soundtrack for a amazingly low price. I was happy that I had the songs that Lindsay Lohan and her band sing (that song that she plays at the Wango Tango tryouts and in the garage when her mother turns off the electricity is another girl's song, read below to know what I think of each song!)

1. Lindsay Lohan "Ultimate" 10/10
The song she sings during the end credits and at her mom's wedding, a perfect inclusion!
2. Simple Plan "Happy Together" 8/10
One of the few remakes on this CD, an okay remake.
3. Lillix "What I Like About You" 9/10
An improved remake, perfect for Lillix.
4. American Hi-Fi "The Art of Losing" 7/10
One of the bad songs on the CD, AHF used to be good back in the Flavor of the Week days but they're a little washed out.
5. Forty Foot Echo "Brand New Day" 10/10
Never heard of them but this is a good song!
6. Halo Friendlies "Me Vs. The World" 10/10
I would love to play this song on the guitar if I only knew how to play!
7. Christina Vidal "Take Me Away" 10/10
The song that Lindsay's band plays! Glad it's on here!
8. Chad Michael Murray "Baby One More Time (Intro)" 0/10
What a waste of space! Made my ears bleed!
9. Bowling For Soup "Baby One More Time" 10/10
A good reason to like this song again!
10. The Donnas "Backstage" 10/10
"The Female Ramones" rock on this song!

11. Andrew W.K. "She Is Beautiful" 11/10
I LOVE THIS SONG IT IS AWESOME!
12. Diffuser "I Wonder" 9/10
Cool song!
13. Lash "Beauty Queen" 7/10
BORING!!!!!
14. Ashlee Simpson "Just Let Me Cry" 1/10
Basking in the light of her sister, sad very sad, and a cheap sounding imitation of No Doubt too!
15. Joey Ramone "What A Wonderful World" 12/10
JOEY'S BACK! sad that it is a remake but I'm glad he's back!
16. Rolfe Kent "Fortune Cookie?" 10/10
I liked the score to the movie but they could have done without including this on the music soundtrack. Not in place. Its a good track though!

THIS IS WHAT A SOUNDTRACK SHOULD BE!

4.0 out of 5 stars If you loved the film, then enjoy the soundtrack as well, August 17, 2003

By	Lawrance M. Bernabo (The Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)

I saw Jamie Lee Curtis's tour de force performance in "Freaky Friday" and then proceeded to pick up the soundtrack, even though the only cast members singing on this album are Lindsay Lohan and Chad Michael Murray. There are only two songs that are performed in the film, "Take Me Away" by Christina Vidal, which is song that the faux band Pink Slip plays in the movie, and "Ultimate," which Lohan sings during the final credits. The soundtrack is a mix between edgy covers, such as Simple Plan's "Happy Together," Lillix's "What I Like About You," and Bowling for Soup's "...Baby One More Time," and contemporary songs by Forty Foot Echo, the Donnas, and Lash. Rolfe Kent, who did the music for the film, only gets the final track on the album, "Fortune Cookie?" I picked up the album for the covers, but the other songs are growing on me, although it is strange to listen to Halo Friendlies sing "Me Vs. The World" or Joey Ramone's punk cover of "What a Wonderful World" and then realize this is the soundtrack to a Disney film.

5.0 out of 5 stars MAXIMUM REVIEW, January 18, 2004

By	Reviewaholic "Sar" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

The first time I saw Freaky Friday it had me totally cracking up and the songs were just amazing. Three days later I went out and bought the soundtrack and it is worth every penny!! This CD goes for everything: If you're down, hyper, dancing, driving studying it is a perfect blend but viewers should be warned that it is mostly punk rock. Not that that's a bad thing because I love punk rock! Anyways I took a little time to review each song separately:

1. "Ultimate" by Lindsay Lohan- 10/10 This is a good song the guitar part is very enjoyable and Lindsay Lohan's voice is good

^Where song comes in movie: This is the song that Lindsay's band plays at the end of the movie during the credits.

2."Happy Together" by Simple Plan- 10/10 This song is very jerky in a good way. If you like headbanging, this is a good song for you. Simple Plan does a perfect rendition of this classic song and this is GREAT for dancing around to in your room.

^Where song comes in movie: At the very beginning of the movie when Anna won't get out of her bed and her mom is painting her nails and doing yoga.

3."What I like about you" by Lillix- 9/10 This is another rendition done perfectly by Lillix. This is a song that will get stuck in your head, believe me. Like "Take me away" there is a guitar solo in the middle of it. I like all of the "heys"

^Where song comes in movie: When Anna as her mom tries on the clothes, shoes, gets her hair cut and pierces her ear.

4."The art of losing" by American Hi-Fi- 10/10 This song just shouts PUNK PUNK PUNK!! This is one of the better songs on the album and I love the "wooohohs"

^Where song comes in movie: The part where Anna keeps on getting hit in the head with a volleyball and when she hits Stacey in the head with one.

5."Brand New Day" by Forty Foot Echo- 11/10 This is one of the only ballads--well it is the only ballad in the album and I think it is really cute and AAAAAW! This song shows that it's possible to have a rock/ballad combo!!

^Where song comes in movie: THE KISS!!! Oh and the dance too...

6. "Me vs. the world" by Halo Friendlies- 8/10 I just wasnt't crazy for this one don't ask why but it still is a pretty good song I like the beginning ltrics though.

^Where song comes in movie: I have no idea!

7. "Take me away" by Christina Vidal- 12/10 This is the song Anna's band plays at "The house of blues" This song has great guitar parts and the song itsself has a catchy rhythm! This is a great song for karaoke!

^Where song comes in movie: When they practice the song in the garage and at The House of Blues

8. ... Baby one more time (Intro) by Chad Michael Murray- 9/10 You see the name Chad Michael Murray and think "Didn't he play Jake?" Well yes but this is when he sings this song to Tess from the window outside . Even though I think it's a bit of a joke I think it is very funny when he tries to squeak out "Still believe" GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU LAUGH

^Where song comes in movie: When Jake stands outside of Anna's house and sings Baby one more time offkey to Tess.

9. "...Baby one more time" By Bowling For Soup- 9/10 To be honest this rendition of the song is better than Britney's! Still has that punk sort of feel to it!!

^Where song comes in movie: When Tess and Jake are in the coffeshop singing to it.

10. "Backstage" By the Donnas- 10/10 I like how the lead singer's voice is kind of in the background and I like how they blend electric with acoustic guitar. All in all pretty good

^Where song comes in movie: When Tess is backstage getting ready to go onstage

11. "She is beautiful" by Andrew W.K.- 11/10 I LOVE the beginning with the creative guitar. This is more of hiphop/punk and is VERY good!

^Where song comes in movie: When Anna as Tess is being passed around the audience of the talk show

12. "I wonder" by Diffuser- 8/10 Has sort of a Simple Plan feel but other than that nothing special it has cool voice range though!

^Where song comes in movie: ?

13. "Beauty Queen" by Lash- 10/10 Again more PUNK and this tune will stay stuck in your head! This is a perfect song to play when putting on makeup or getting ready haha!

^Where song comes in movie: When Tess as Anna runs into her room to get the fortune cookie!

14. "Just let me cry" by Ashlee Simpson- 11/10 Just because Ashlee Simpson is Jessica SImpson's little sister, don't be prejudiced about this song cause this is one of the best on the album! It's a mix of pop/ballad and it's very good!

^Where song comes in movie: When Anna gets out of the car and is walking through her high school and finds that someone is wearing the same shirt as her the horrors!

15. "What a wonderful world" by Joey Ramone- 6/10 I think this song is in Madeline too but yeah anyways... This is another good rendition of a song thumping guitar though!!

^Where song comes in movie: When Anna as Tess is riding on the motorcycle with Jake!

16. "Fortune Cookie" by Rolfe Kent- 10/10 This song is an eye-opener because the album goes from PUNK PUNK PUNK to classic and it's a little strange but this song is good it basically reflects on the entire movie of when it had classical music. Very cute and worth listening to!!

^Where song comes in movie: When they are at the restaruant, in the teachers lounge, at the wedding basically everywhere!

Best songs on the album in my opinion: Happy Together, Take me Away, Brand New Day, She is Beatiful, Just Let Me Cry, Ultimate

Best ROMANTIC songs: Brand New Day since it is the only ballad on the album

Best UPBEAT LOVING LIFE SONG: What I like about you, Ultimate

THIS WAS A GREAT ALBUM FOR ALL AGES I REALLY ENJOYED IT I HOPE YOU DID TOO!
