WARNING--This album may be a danger to your health. Potential dangers include: chapped and/or bloody lips due to incessant whistling, fainting from lack of food/water due to uncontrollable humming, and song-stuck-in-head related insanity. Please take the proper precautions and only engage in responsible listening.My first draft of this post included lines like "if you like the movie, you'll love this soundtrack," and "if you haven't seen this movie yet, move it to the top of your Netflix queue." But I scrapped them when I remembered this is not a movie blog, and I don't care if you see the movie or not. But you need to give this soundtrack a chance.
Although every track is highly enjoyable, South American Getaway is far and away the most memorable song, and it is the one that will have you wishing for some peace and quiet inside your head. This is not a standard soundtrack in a modern sense--there are only a few instrumentals and very little 'theme music.' Instead there are a bunch of catchy pop songs written by Burt Bacharach at the peak of his career. There are three version of 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head' although one would've probably been enough. The other five tracks are jazzy, western sounding jingles that, unfortunately, are overshadowed by South American Getaway.
As a whole, you probably won't listen to the entire album on a daily basis. But, if you are like me, you will be compelled listen to South American Getaway on repeat for the better part of a month.
