A Night At The Roxbury: Music From The Motion Picture

if you love dance music, get this CD! The movie ain't bad, but the music rocks! :)

This has got to be one of the best sountracks I have ever heard. Don't let anyone tell you any different, i highly reccomend it.

This soundtrack rocks, so does the movie! What Is Love, yes man!!!!

If any one wants to know why disco was hated give them this disc. This is a dreary collection of second-rate disco songs linked together with truly dreary rap and disco beats. It was an ordeal to listen to. The only reason to buy this is for Cyndi Lauper's version of Disco Inferno which is unfortunately not available elsewhere.

The first track, "What is Love", which plays as background for all the advertising promos for the movie, SUCKS BIG TIME !!! It sounds nothing like the ad promo, nor even remotely like the renditions given on Saturday Night Live when they do the Roxbury Guys skits.

Did they hire the Lawrence Welk orchestra for this? Did they put silencers on the drummer's sticks? What???

By the way, the one-star rating I gave is because they didn't have a 'no-star' rating !

First of all can I just say that if I ever went to a club that played this music, I would be out the door in a second. Not to say that it is bad music, it is just very old. The movie was set in 1998 - and most of the songs were horribly old. If they were played in a club here, people would want the DJ's head on a platter. The main song that the film focuses on "What Is Love" by Haddaway is from 1993!! Good God! In fact almost all of the songs are way too old to have any club consumption - Haddaway - What Is Love -1993, Faithless - Insomnia - 1997, La Bouche - Be My Lover - 1995, Amber - This Is Your Night - 1996, Ace Of Base - Beautiful Life - 1995, Jocelyn Enriquez - A Little Bit Of Ecstacy - 1997, No Mercy - Where Do You Go - 1996.

And the rest of the songs are covers (badly done covers mind you), or just horrible, with the exception of Bamboo's "Bamboogie" - stupid fun based on an old KC & The Sunshine Band song. The CD is not a bad purchase by any means, I just find it way too dated. Dance music gets stale fast unless it has something really unique going for it. I think if the label would have put more remixes on the cd, it might have worked out a little bit better than it did.
