Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
When making a soundtrack to a comedy--especially a "kings of tastelessness" Farrelly Bros comedy-it's difficult to know whether to take things seriously or just have a bit of fun. This is particularly tricky when half of that soundtrack is also meant as a tribute album of sorts. Such is the case with the soundtrack to Me, Myself and Irene. Of the 15 tracks on offer here, eight are cover versions of classic Steely Dan songs, performed by a slew of American alternative rock bands, including Wilco, Smash Mouth and the Brian Setzer Orchestra. Because it's Steely Dan, the band who attempted to bring art to AOR, it would be easy to dismiss this soundtrack as another example of irony gone too far. Yet it's salvaged by the supreme talents of bands like Ben Folds Five (who do an excellent version of "Barrytown") and Ivy, the side project of Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger. The Walter Becker/Donald Fagen songs are handled with the utmost respect, and, for the most part, show up the newer material on offer from Third Eye Blind, The Offspring, Foo Fighters and Hootie & The Blowfish. --Robert Burrow

This soundtrack will take you right back to the cinema, it is brilliant! My personal favourites include the world Aint slowing down, Only a Fool would say that, and Can't find the time to tell you, but I also love all the other tracks!!! It is really a fantastic soundtrack, with songs that not only remind you of how funny the film was, but also the different issues the film raised ie the relationship between Me, Myself and Irene! Enjoy

The whole film with the soundtrack holds together so well.
The choice of songs together with the performances are moving.
There is an energy that takes this CD above the norm.

Coming from a Steely Dan fan of many years the cover versions are really good. Different than the orginals but they fit the film so well.

Saw the movie 3rd time round forgot what a great soundtrack it had (big steely dan fan). Non steely tracks good too.
