I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me
after ten or fifteen years of scorning my parents collection of Abba and other assorted 70s tapes, I arrived home from university with this soundtrack in my collection. And spent a summer blasting all those songs that my parents knew and liked (except when I was listening to Weezer - they weren't so keen on that).
Yes, I did enjoy the movie. Then a year or three later I bought the soundtrack. Probably on special at the warehouse. It was that mid-ninties period where disco and abba become vaguely cool again. Not that I care about that now, and I can just enjoy the music without cringing.
It's a pretty good collection of songs, a bit of abba, a few obscure songs I'd never previously heard of and a few that I don't like at all. But a solid soundtrack anyway.
favourite song - I will survive - Gloria Gaynor
skippable song - Can't help loving that man - Trudy Richards
Original Release Date: August 23, 1994
