Boogie Nights: Music From The Original Motion Picture [Soundtrack]

Amazon.com
A three-note horn blast, a disco groove calling from the dance floor, a woman's voice charging in to sing "never, ever do I feel discouraged." It's the '70s again. You're surrounded by freedom at its most complete, and trivial. This is how Boogie Nights, a film about the rise and fall of a porn star, begins. The soundtrack consists of dance and trash pop songs playing non-stop, forming a kind of historical narrative behind the action. Vol. I rescues some great nuggets of fluff, both black and white--"Magnet and Steel" and "The Best of My Love," for example. Then, it deliberately goes too far with Night Ranger's "Sister Christian." The song, defiantly candy-ass, challenges our capacity to recycle the pop culture past. Its earnest emptiness and lack of irony make it the most uncool, and fascinating, thing on the record. --Steve Tignor

Customer Reviews:

Boogie Nights is a great workout cd. .......2007-05-15

Love this cd. My children are 20 and 24; they took my cd so I had to order another one. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Where's "Sniff 'n' the Tears".......2007-03-30

This soundtrack doesn't include one of the best songs from the movie, "Driver's Seat" by Sniff 'n' the Tears. Only 3 stars due to this flaw!

another great sound track.......2007-03-10

the music for this movie was just the right picking for the time

Boogie nighs soundtrack.......2007-03-09

Me personally I don't like it but the movie is pretty good. My husband likes the cd.

Driver's Seat.......2005-10-09

Where the heck is Sniff n' The Tears' "Driver's Seat" in this soundtrack. It plays at a definite changing point in the movie where Floyd comes to tell Jack that he needs to switch to video instead of film. It's a travesty that this song wasn't included. But a good soundtrack nonetheless

Average customer rating: So many good songs, glad to see a number 2! Good compliation from a great movie Put On Your "Boogie Shoes" With Dirk Diggler! Awesome Collection, But Missing Several Selections PERFECT COMPANION

In 1997, writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson boldly went where few other filmmakers have dared--America's multibillion-dollar pornography industry--and produced a clear-eyed portrait of '70s and '80s American cultural mores as lived out by an extened family of adult filmmakers and stars. Given the period, Anderson had a wealth of fond, cheesy pop to choose from (hence Vol. 2). Aside from a few shop-worn cuts (Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing," perhaps the most overexposed '70s hit of 1997), the remainder are notably fresh. The best: Sniff & the Tears' "Driver's Seat," Apollo 100's "Joy," and The Move's "Feel Too Good." --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

So many good songs, glad to see a number 2!.......2006-11-04

Boogie Nights got me addicted to the song "Fooled around and Fell in Love". I always wondered why it wasn't on the soundtrack, also glad to see drivers seat, I can picture every scene in the movie when I hear these songs!!!

Good compliation from a great movie.......2004-09-21

Boogie Nights let us know that we really loved the 70's and that we really ARE nostalgic for the music from the period - ALL THE MUSIC!

This second CD from the film soundtrack effectively provides us with more memories from not only the film, but from the era.

Apollo 100's Joy is a favorite as is Three Dog Night's Mama Told Me Not to Come.

Thought neither CD (CD 1 nor this one) contains Andrew Gold's Lonely Boy, which I really felt was emotionally a direct hit - so that's a bad thing.

Both of these CDs will share a welcome place in your house along with the DVD of the film.

Put On Your "Boogie Shoes" With Dirk Diggler!.......2004-05-20

With Three Dog Night's warning song "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)", Elvin Bishop's regretful ballad, "Fooled Around and Fell in Love"
disco great, You Sexy Thing by Hot Chocolate and the FABULOUS, FUN Boogie Shoes by non other than KC & the Sunshine Band
Other highlights are "Do Your Thing" with Charles Wright & the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, and "Driver's Seat" from one hit wonder Sniff 'n' the Tears.

Feel Too Good - The Move
Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield
J.P. Walk - Sound Experience
I Want to Be Free - The Ohio Players
Joy - Apollo 100 round out the CD.

Great listening that will either take you back to the 70's or the "Boogie Nights" movie or possibly... BOTH!

Happy Listening!

Awesome Collection, But Missing Several Selections.......2003-01-22

Vol.2 of Boogie Nights takes you through the 70's into the 80's with a great selection of music from the movie. The music takes you through the life of Dirk Diggler through the ups and downs of his life. The only thing lacking is that several songs were left off the cd including the classic Fleetwood Mac song "Tusk" and Devo's "Jerkin Back And Forth" which are included on the DVD version of the film. However the music makes you feel you are in the film and with Dirk through his journey. A must for any fan of the motion picture.

PERFECT COMPANION.......2001-09-19

.....to the first volume. This cd has even more great songs from the film. I love Driver's Seat and of course Boogie Shoes. It is a must that you pick up both volumes of this particular soundtrack. The variety of music is awesome and it will be well worth your money. I would have liked to have seen Lonely Boy by Andrew Gold, Fly Robin Fly by the Silver Connection, and Sunny by Boney M included. But hey....I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too!! ;) Regardless, these cds are well worth the money.
