Free Music Notes for Revenge Of The Nerds: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: one foot in front of the other is the greatest song ever
Hit: 5 Stars
Words cannot express the brilliance of this soundtrack. The songs may sound like cheesy, dorky songs to you, but to me they are like the voice of God himself. Especially "One Foot in Front of the Other." My only complaint about the soundtrack, is that the picture on the front did not include either Booger or the random dork with the afro who got beat in armwrestling. Also the rap song by Lamar at the charity contest should have been included. Come to think of it, this soundtrack really sucks.Free Music Review: Soundtrack

Hi all,
Could anybody give me the name of the song being played whilst Takashi is riding around on his bike, while having to drink a beer every lap. I've heard that it is 'A Bicycle Built For Two' but need the Japanese version!
If any body knows where I can get it from, you'll be my hero.
Oh and the movie isn't half bad either!

Hit: 4 Stars
If you are a junky of new wave movie soundtracks of the 80s (Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Last American Virgin, etc) you should definitely give this one a go, because it is loaded with synth pop and guitar wave gems. I personally bought it for the track by Bone Symphony because it is produced by Giorgio Moroder apprentice Richie Zito, but I was surprised to find numerous fun 80s tracks that will definitely make their way into my 80s folder on my ipod.
1. Manhattan--synth pop with female vocal. Think vocals in the style of The Flirts, singing a bouncy ditty that sounds just like the song Iko Iko.
2. Don't Talk--guitar driven anthematic stomper with hot synth stabs. Song style remind me of Rick Springfield tracks--the male vocals and melody remind me of "We Built This City" by Starship.
3. One Foot In Front of the Other--LOVE it. Synth dance perfection, sounds like something you'd hear on Giorgio Moroder soundtracks like Scarface, but with new wave male vocals similar to that of the band Our Daughters Wedding (Lawnchairs).
4. Breakdown--80s funk/R&B sound, like New Edition.
5. Revenge of the Nerds--I can't believe this is the same group who does the song right before it. This is quirky Devo-esque/The Flirts/Total Coeli synthdance. Tons of fun.
6. They're so incredible--downtempo electronic dance track. Vocals have a sort of John Lydon edge to them, but more melodic.
7. Are You Ready--Remember "What Do All The People Know" by The Monroes? This is in that style, but slightly more rock oriented.
8. Are You Ready For The Sex Girls--TOTAL new wave novelty camp. Sort of has the feel of something by The Cars.
9. Right Time For Love--ah...the love song. A male/female duet. Nice stuff, but should have been the last track on the disc so as not to interrupt the flow.
10. All Night Party--moody synth rock, reminds me of Split Enz.

Revenge Of The Nerds is one of my favorite films. It also has some great tunes that are just as much fun to listen to today as they were back in the 1980s. My personal favorites are the theme song "Revenge Of The Nerds" (played in the movie during the opening credits,) "Put One Foot In Front Of The Other" (played in the movie during the scene where the nerds are fixing up the run-down house to make it livable,) and the afore-mentioned song, which in the film was played all too briefly during the scene where the girls from the MOO sorority come to the nerds house for a party, however here the entire song is on disk.
As other reviewers have noted, there are a few songs from the film that didn't make it to the C.D., (I'm assuming because of legal problems,) and that's why this disk only gets four stars instead of five. And unfortunately those are some of the best songs in the film. They are: "Burning Down The House" (played during the scene where the jocks stupidly burn down their own dorm,) "Thriller", (played during the scene where the nerds party has really got going, just before the jocks ruin everything by letting the pigs in,) and "We Are The Champions" (played during the end credits.)
