Me:
There is a soundtrack album, which (in case you're wondering I'm not on. And
neither are the Clash, the Pretenders or Rupert Holmes' "Escape," all of
which are heard in the film.) I'm surprised that you liked the Chocolate
Genius cover. All ego aside - since at one point they were considering
having someone "famous" redo my song and put it on the tail credits - but I
thought that piece of music wasn't the greatest way to send people out of
the theaters. Still, the movie's good and so's the rest of the music.
