“Pepper – Butthole Surfers” - J what a name for a band ! This song supposedly appeared in the Hangover Promos, couldn't actually find it in the movie though. But a terrific song. It is kinda psychedelic in between with some really cool narration like lyrics in between. There is slight similarity somewhere in the kind of music, to the Gorillaz. The beats and the music give it a nice touch.
“It’s Now Or Never – El Vez” – The movie starts off with this old Elvis Priestley song sung by El Vez. There ain’t much to the song and you wouldn’t probably notice the lovely style of the song as the movie opens with the bride trying to reach her fiancé who hasn’t still turned up on the day of their wedding J Well, the song pulls you into a Mexican backdrop, if you hear it outside of the movie. The accent of El Vez and the typical instruments used in the song gives you a similar feeling as that to the Desperado movie. It eases you into a beautiful thought process and then some of the explicit lyrics in between will make your sides ache, laughing J !
“Thirteen - Danzig” – Highlight - The vocals are sweet! The music is full of attitude. Its a slow paced singing with nice backing music and somehow I got a feeling of the Wild West or one of those bad ass movies...I think you ll feel it too with the sound of the wind blowing in the background and a dusty picture comes into your mind. Can be a rock classification, this song, but certainly not the kind you would know of much. Do give it a try!!
“Take it Off – The Donnas” – The Vegas (Sin City) road trip starts off in a kick-ass fashion with this song. Well the video is a must watch with the song when you first hear it. It will set the picture right up in your mind as to how the movie goes ! Watch out for Alan...this is where he starts to come in from nowhere with a bang!
“Can't Tell Me Nothing Feat Lil'Wayne, Busta Rhymes & Young Jeezy (Remix)” – An awesome song and a perfect timing to have come into the movie. Las Vegas comes into picture with this song. Do try this song, even out of the movie, this song will strike you as an unusually different one!
“Livin Your Life – Y.I Ft. Rihanna” – The song compliments the scene as the guys check into the Villa @ Caesar’s Castle. Backdrop is a lovely suite with the windows overlooking the Vegas casinos.
“Who let the Dogs Out - Bahamen” – This is typically when, if you see the movie in the flow it takes you; you will notice how much you start to like the character Alan in the movie. There is nothing new to say about this fun song as it is very popular and one which has been around for quite some time now. But yea, well timed again!!
“Yeah – Usher” – This song is soon after Alan’s small and hilarious speech on the rooftop of the Hotel. Just a event marking song and nothing more there in it!
“Fever – The Cramps” – This is where the Hangover starts to kick in J Stu wakes up with a heavy head totally oblivious to the mess he sees around him...the song’s too good and compliments the scene perfectly. Out of the movie, its a song that goes well with a “Bong” ;) definitely gives you a crawling trance like feeling!
“Wedding Bells (Are Breaking Up That Old Gang Of Mine) – Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps” – This song will go unnoticed in the movie J completely b’cos of the hilarious scene and the situation they are in. As Stu says it sometime soon after this, “We are so f****d!” A nice song this one..very much pleasing, but yea not for all situations J
“In The Air Tonight – Phil Collins” – Well fans of Phil Collins don’t need a review to know how his songs go, truly amazing! But as to why it is there in the movie..a different thing altogether ! Now am I reviewing the movie or the OSTs...do listen to the song, the magical voice of Phil Collins will swing you away! The volley of beats and the music that follow after the lyrics solo gives you the goosebumps..be sure to turn your speakers to full volume. You might even consider making it your intro song J !!
“Stu’s Song – Ed Helms” - J Listen...awesome !!
“Rhythm and Booze - Treat Her Right” – Funky; It is like Blues, a kind of pub music that eases off some steam. The saxophone gives it a unique touch. So much to booze, give it a shot ;)!
“Iko Iko – The Belle Stars” – Its a carnival song, or at least, that is the vibe I get. I’ve not heard one quite like this in sometime, I’m sure. Recommended hearing as part of the movie, outside of which it might stick out as little odd, or better put, out of context!!
“Joker and The Thief – Wolfmother” – Rocking ! Adrenaline pumping . . . Not surprisingly this song was part of the OSTs of the Need For Speed Carbon! First one I’ve heard from the band. There s a nice guitar strumming that is characteristic of the song ! Singing is very high pitched, there is a definitive crowd pulling energy in it. All rock fans and drivers alike, this one s a must in your collection!!
“Three Best Friends - Zach Galifianakis” - J, just part of the OST !
“Ride The Sky II – Revolution Mother” – This is a headbanger... head throbbing stuff !! Again a band new to me... do get this one if you are a hardcore rock/metal fan ! It won’t let you down.
“Candy Shop - Dan Finnerty & The Dan Band” – Originally a song by 50 Cents Ft. Olivia, this one tops the OSTs. . . the way the song is sung is just too amazing. The lyrics may come off as either totally hilariously insane, given the scene it compliments or as a turn off to people who might get offended given its explicit nature J The flow of the lyrics is handled absolutely fabulously. The two other artists, off the top of my mind, who have blown me away with a similar feat are Jason Mraz and Billy Joel, though completely from a different genre, I know !
“Right Round - Flo Rida Feat. Kesha” – As the credits come down; the song best suits the theme and the wild time the 4 of the guys had at Vegas which they couldn’t remember at all J A club/ party song which is truly a great song. One song you will remember for a long time even if you hear it just once. It will make you search down the song and get it at any cost J, I did !!
Peace
