The Wedding Singer (More Music From The Motion Picture)

• The Wedding Singer Volume 2: More Music From The Motion Picture (1998-07-21)

Amazon.co.uk Is it forgivable that the second volume of songs from Adam Sandler's mid-'80s-revival comedy begins with Kajagoogoo's famously limp "Too Shy"? Not really, but the rest of the disc does a good job of recapitulating worthy memories from the era of torn-sweatshirt necks and mulletheads--not just with new-wave novelties but with Madonna and Hall & Oates staples ("Holiday" and "You Make My Dreams", respectively) as bouncy and glossy as anything the also-present Depeche Mode ("Just Can't Get Enough") and Dead or Alive ("You Spin Me Round [Like a Record]") ever put on the radio. The Cars' "It's All I Can Do" and the J. Geils Band's "Love Stinks" encapsulate the Sandler character's romantic frustrations, while the star's own "Grow Old With Me" actually points toward a serious career as a singer/songwriter for our boy. Eek. --Rickey Wright Product Description Adam Sandler's The Wedding Singer is already firmly established as one of the biggest movie hits of the year and its soundtrack album of classic 80's hits has sold more than 1.5 million copies, with no end in sight. Now, Maverick brings you a second soundtrack album, filled with still more 80's favorites.
