Free Music Notes for Something's Gotta Give
Free Music Review: "And When You Speak, Angels Sing From Above . . . Everyday Words Seem To Turn Into Love Songs"
Hit: 5 Stars
"La Vie En Rose"
Beautiful Words and Music by Louiguy, Edith Piaf and Mack David
"Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ca m'fait quelque chose
Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause
C'est lui pour moi
Moi pour lui dans la vie
Il me l'a dit l'a juré
Pour la vie
Et dès que je l'apercois
Alors je sens en moi
Mon coeur qui bat"
I have enjoyed the movie "Something's Gotta Give" as much as I enjoy listening to this original movie soundtrack. The movie is very entertaining and this soundtrack is such a delight to listen to. I gave a copy to my beauty and brains sister, a great and caring Physician who paints as a hobby, has taken French lessons, can speak conversational French and can sing "La Vie En Rose" in French. We both love this soundtrack and I dedicate this review to her.
The 14 tracks are all wonderful and so pleasing and entertaining. Louie Armstrong opens this gorgeous presentation with an English version of our all-time favorite song "La Vie En Rose" followed by Steve Tyrell's outstanding rendition of a Gershwin gem, beautiful and timeless "I've Got A Crush On You." Astrud Gilberto's mysteriously alluring voice can be heard in "So Nice" (Summer Samba).
Let The Flamingos enfold you with a sense of nostalgia as they sing a charming version of "I Only Have Eyes For You." Eartha Kitt will dazzle you as she delivers my sister's favorite songs "Je Cherche Un Homme" and "C'est Si Bon." And ditto with Charles Trénet's "Que Reste-T'il Nos Amour" and Les Escrocs' performance of "Assedic." A great jazz icon, Django Reinhardt, interprets "Brazil" in such an amazing and one-of-a-kind performance that you'll completely enjoy.
My sister and I both love Coralie Clément's rendition of an enchanting song with a Bossa Nova flavor, "Samba De Mon Coeur Qui Bat." Jack Nicholson does a remarkable par excellence performance in the finale, "La Vie En Rose," in English and French as well. (French lyric courtesy of my sister. Merci beaucoup, soeur!).
"Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me, heaven sighs
I see la vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak, angels sing from above
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose"
This is a beautiful CD and a welcome addition to your collection of original movie soundtracks. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
Free Music Review: Gotta Get This
Hit: 5 Stars
No contest, this is definately a soundtrack worthy of 5 stars. The style of music is completely not from my era (I usually listen to reggeaton), yet it has a timelessness, much like the movie itself. Right from the first sexy blast of the saxophone in Louis Armstrong's, "La Vie en Rose," through the closing song, another version of, "La Vie en Rose," the soundtrack from, "Somethings Gotta Give," transports its audience to another era. Don't be disappointed or mislead by the fact that "La Vie en Rose" appears twice on this soundtrack. Jack Nicholson's recording of the song is very different than the opening recording by Louis Armstrong. If you are a fan of Jack Nicholson's movies, you must hear this song. That man is such a versatile talent. No, it is not the best voice you have ever heard, but there is an undeniably sexiness to it. I especially love hearing that man sing in French. Wow.
One does not need to be familiar with the movie to become caught up in Astrud Gilberto's light-hearted rendition of, "So Nice." Steve Tyrell's "I've Got a Crush on You," is beautifully romantic. The Flamingos, "I Only Have Eyes For You," speaks for itself, and I am sure that I have heard it in other movies. Familiar with the movie? You will appreciate the way that the French songs mirror the sentiments of Erika's heart. No translator is needed to enjoy the French songs. Eartha Kitt's raspy voice almost purrs "Je Cherche un Homme," and "C'est Si Bon." I cannot think of a better vocal/song match. The other artists, including Heiter Periera, Coralie Clement, Django Reinhardt and Deon Jackson, each have there own unique style, yet they all blend beautifully. You will not be disappointed.
Free Music Review: French and Awesome
Hit: 5 Stars
One word "Romantic." This is the sort of soundtrack that lovers should pick out for a romantic evening in the park or a nice picnic by the beach. This soundtrack has great romance charm, for it is playing in your head when you see love at first sight. This is also a great soundtrack to day dream about France. This soundtrack is highly recommended if you're into romance soundtracks!

Free Music Review: answer to heart attack song question
Hit: 5 Stars
The song Marin and Harry were playing and fooling around to when Harry gets chest pains is Let's get it on. I'm not sure who it's by, but it is a very popular movie song when the characters are about to get it on so to speek. It's in one of the Austin Powers movies; Nine Months and many others not to mention all the times it's even been used on TV shows. I'm surprized you hadn't already heard it before. Anyway, if you were to watch the movie again, Erica and Zoe are in the kitchen when the song starts playing from the other room and they disguss what song it is and even say the name of it and start dancing around until Marin yells for help. Also, next time, you can read the song credits at the end of any movie when you are unsure of a title because it will list the song title, artist, and who it was sung by in the movie for any and all songs played in the movie and they are usually in order of when they are played. Hope that I helped.Free Music Review: Veryvery American!
Hit: 5 Stars
I wonder why some Americans don't appreciate this kind of CD too much.
I was a Japanese tourist to NYC visiting a friend,
watched this movie there and bought this CD at
"Banes&nobles", a big shop. Back in Japan I'm playing
this CD during dinner telling my parents "This is
American love songs in a little French taste", that's
making their dinner like a dinner in the heaven!
65 father get romantic with 63 mother having Japanese
food and sake listening to this CD. so it works for
you too! They even didn't watch this movie! Very very
good movie music. You can have Louis Armstrong and
Jack Nicholson singing the same song "LA VIE EN ROSE"
very New York! NYC is always good at adopting different
culture this time adopting French works good on this CD.
I'm very much happy having this CD.
