It features one original song and rock and roll and rhythm and blues songs by other artists that were used in the film. The soundtrack was released in 1988 by MCA Records. Several other songs were used, however, due to licensing restrictions, they could not be included for the album. Many of them were on Cameo Parkway Records, which was owned by Allen Klein.
Hairspray: Soundtrack to the Motion Picture is the soundtrack album for the 2007 New Line Cinema musical film Hairspray. The film is an adaptation of the 2002 Broadway musical of the same name, itself adapted from John Waters's original 1988 film. It features performances from the film's cast, which includes John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden, Queen Latifah, Brittany Snow, Zac Efron, Elijah Kelley, and Nikki Blonsky as the lead character of Tracy Turnblad.
The soundtrack contains nineteen songs from the film written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, three of which were not included in the stage musical version. Shaiman, who produced the original cast album for the Broadway musical, produced the songs for the film musical as well. Hairspray's music is written and performed to conform to the story's 1962 setting, with influences spanning the genres of rock and roll, soul, and pop.
"Ladies' Choice", a new song performed by Zac Efron, was the Hairspray soundtrack's first single. iTunes released the single on May 15, 2007. The iTunes version of the album includes bonus features such as the bonus track "I Can Wait" (a song written for the film but cut), the "Ladies' Choice" music video, an instructional dance video for "Ladies' Choice", and a digital version of the album booklet. The soundtrack debuted on the Billboard 200 at number 20 and peaked at number two.
"The New Girl in Town", "Big, Blonde and Beautiful (Reprise)", and "Come So Far (Got So Far to Go)" are the three songs new to this version of Hairspray, although "The New Girl in Town" was originally written for but dropped from the Broadway production. "Come So Far (Got So Far to Go)" is played over the film's end credits, as are renditions of two songs from the stage musical which were not included in the film proper: "Cooties" and "Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now". "Cooties" is performed on the soundtrack in a contemporary pop style by singer Aimee Allen. It was also played (without vocals) while the contestants, for Miss Teenage Hairspray, danced to show off their "moves". "Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now", is performed by each of the three women most famous portraying Hairspray's main character, Tracy Turnblad: the 1988 film's Ricki Lake, the Broadway production's Marissa Jaret Winokur, and this film's Nikki Blonsky. Harvey Fierstein, who played Edna in the original Broadway production, also has a vocal cameo at the end of this track.
A limited edition two-disc version of the Hairspray soundtrack was released on November 20, 2007, the same day as the film's DVD/Blu-ray release. The 2-disc Collector's edition soundtrack includes the one-disc soundtrack, as well as a second disc featuring additional songs from the film, deleted songs (among them "I Can Wait"), demo recordings, and karaoke versions of certain songs. The album debuted at number 90 on the Billboard 200 with sales of at least 20,000 copies sold.
Although included in the movie, "The Nicest Kids in Town (Reprise)" (performed by James Marsden and the Council Members) and "Tied Up in the Knots of Sin" (performed by composer Marc Shaiman and director Adam Shankman) were not included on the motion picture soundtrack.
The enhanced "Collector's Edition," due from New Line Records Nov. 20, will feature the "entire existing soundtrack plus exclusive demos, unreleased songs from the movie, video karaoke of the most popular songs, lyrics, collectable cards of the film's stars, a commemorative sticker pack, an online 'Hairspray' game, wallpaper, and video documentaries, including 'Zac Efron Becomes Link Larkin,'" according to an Amazon.com description. The release is now available for pre-order.
The New Line Records original soundtrack (which hit stores July 10, prior to the film's nationwide release July 20) has maintained a spot in the top ten on the Billboard Soundtracks chart. (This week it charts at No. 11.)
This is the title song for the Miss Hairspray competition. It showcases James Marsden's vocal talent and reminds the audience why the musical is called Hairspray in the first place. It easily fits the movie's 1960s aura: "Forget the milkman, the only thing better than hairspray (Hairspray, wow!), that's me!" Little does everyone know, Tracy will sneak in inside a giant hairspray can to turn this contest upside down.
Zac Efron slows things down with the jazzy lines of "It Takes Two." It's a romantic ballad that lets the audience in on a deeper side of Efron's character, Link Larkin. "I'm your king, and you're my queen, that no one else can come between. It takes two, baby, it takes two." It isn't the most memorable song on the movie's soundtrack, but it makes for easy listening.
This is one of the snazziest numbers in the show. Tracy is persuading her mother, Edna, to go out on the town with her. Tracy exclaims, "You gotta get yourself a brand new start!" And that's exactly what the mother and daughter team set out to do. Edna is embarrassed to leave her home at first, but Tracy takes her out shopping for some dazzling new clothes, and the two have a ball throughout the song. Though the soundtrack just credits Nikki Blonsky and John Travolta, the track would be nothing without the booming vocals of the Dynamites. Their talents are surpassed by none.
Elijah Kelley you're sure the celebrity I think of the most when I think of music from your culture and my nickname is Jazzy Jas. But I can put animted music with your Hairspray soundtrack too. It isn't only your Run And Tell That song getting me almost like your fun jazz music it's also I'm getting to know one of your people who I'm a good advocate for. He's simple to communicate with so he's someone I'm gaining self-understanding with he's also one I'm sharing clarity with, we're even lucky about one having courage when the other one lacks it. In public situations he's treated me more considereately than most people, and he understands my fears by surprise.
Loudon Wainwright III: Strange Weirdos (Concord)The "soundtrack" to the gloriously funny Knocked Up slips intwo Joe Henry instrumentals and a remake of Wainwright's 1973"Lullaby" that's more passionate than the love song he goes out on,which is called "Passion Play." But parenthood has always been one ofhis great themes, L.A. life is turning into another, and as for love,give him this: He has long shown a knack for pretending that he'sgetting the idea. B PLUS
