Contributor Role: Carol Farhat.Like the TV show it's pulled from, the
music on this collection is clever, upbeat and smart-alecky. They Might
Be Giants set the quirky tone with their choppy, ska-flavored "Boss of
Me" and the cleverly sublime "Older." From here, plenty of power-pop
moments abound, from Stroke 9's punky "Washin' + Wonderin'," to
Barenaked Ladies' irresistibly catchy "Falling for the First Time."Other
notable names checking in are Eagle-Eye Cherry (the sweetly dream-like
"Been Here Once Before"), Travis (the Beatles-esque absurdity "We Are
Monkeys"), and Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies (a hellacious cover of Dr.
John's "Right Place, Wrong Time"). Elsewhere, pop oddities include OPM's
loping skate-anthem "Heaven Is a Halfpipe," the mid-'90s novelty dance
version of "Cotton Eye Joe" by Sweden's Rednex, and the Baha Men's "You
All Dat" (which samples the Tokens' "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"). Wrapping
it all up is "I Don't Care," a dialogue snippet medley by our favorite
sound architects the Dust Brothers.
