Free Music Notes for Pecker: Songs From The Original Soundtrack
Free Music Review: Funny and Uplifting backwoods fun
Hit: 4 Stars
"Pecker" is one of John Water's "mainstream" films, and from what I hear, not terribly shocking unlike Pink Flamingoes. The music has a polished feel to it, but still sounds like someone is having an irreverent good time.Stewart Copeland composed much of the music to the soundtrack. The rest are an odd assortment of off-the-shelf songs that were always destined to be in a John Waters movie.
The soundtrack mixes cheerful, insidious melodies, country western, jazz, and fun, fun, fun. The original music as composed by Steward Copeland manages to be jazzy, bluesy, hip and busy. The songs change depending on where you are in the movie. There are at least 7 tracks of original instrumental music and songs interwoven throughout the CD. It is not filler material, but quite good if heard away without ever seeing the movie.
Pecker: Songs From The Original Soundtrack Poster
John Waters has put together a remarkably consistent soundtrack to go along with Pecker. He reaches the pinnacle of camp with almost every song with a music selection consisting of tarnished and obscure oldies as well as original songs by Stewart Copeland, former drummer for the Police. Copeland's originals run the gamut from lounge to (very benign) rap and blend surprisingly well with Waters's selection of insanely cheerful singles from the '60s and '70s. (Waters gives much credit to his friend, Larry Benicewicz, for helping choose and supply the obscure older titles from his record collection.) With songs such as "I'm a Nut," "Happy-Go-Lucky-Me," and "Woo Hoo" from bands such as the Henhouse Five Plus Too and the Nutty Squirrels, the soundtrack is as catchy as the flu and just as insidious. Get it before it mutates. --Melissa Axelrod and Terry ZwigoffSoundtracks Music CDs
