Good Morning Vietnam: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack [Soundtrack]

Amazon.com
Nineteen eighty-seven's Good Morning, Vietnam was a turning point for Robin Williams, garnering the comic his first Academy Award nomination and leveraging him into the first rank of American film stars. As directed by Barry Levinson, Williams imbues the "true life" story of Armed Forces Radio rebel Adrian Cronauer with his patented machine-gun comic banter, undercut by dollops of now equally familiar tragi-comic bathos. But contrary to the tired hit parade we've come to expect from period soundtracks, the '60s music Williams's character spins here is often a refreshing surprise, drawing from trashy garage-band chic ("Liar Liar" by the Castaways), underexposed British Invasion hits (the Searchers' "Sugar and Spice," "Game of Love" by Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders), and relatively obscure American chart hits ("Five O'Clock World" by the Vogues, the Rivieras' "Warm California Sun"), all of it gratuitously punctuated by Williams's manic DJ rantings. The inspired revival of Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" also became one of the 1980s' most unlikely hits. --Jerry McCulley

Robin WILLIAMS at HIS BEST in the '80s!!!!!!.......2007-05-13

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNIN' VIETNAAAAAAAAM!!!!!!!!!!
NEED I SAY MORE?

Good Songs, Poor Sound Quality.......2006-11-04

I bought this because I loved the movie. I like the songs and the comedy interspersed is OK. The sound quality is quite poor though.

Good Morning Vietnam Soundtrack.......2006-02-21

Robin Williams is at his best as a "DJ". If you like oldies, you will like this CD. Fairly good mixture of songs.

Good Morning Vietnam Soundtrack.......2005-08-12

I LOVE this soundtrack! I had originally purchased it when the movie first came out but had lost that copy. This CD has great music that even my teenager and preteen enjoyed. It brings back a lot of great memories of the past and gives the family a chance to connect with songs that everyone can sing along with.

This old sixties stuff rocks!.......2005-05-31

I love James Brown, and I love Liar Liar, by the Castaways, and I just enjoyed this album. The old sixties stuff is great, and doesn't make you fall asleep. It's the unscary stuff from the sixties that we (sadly) forget about. And the bits of dialouge from the movie in between...Hilarious. This is a great soundtrack, and I'd recommend it to anyone who needs a good c.d. in their house.
