I think your review is ridiculous. You don't get the premise, you don't get the humor, you don't get the music... at all. A few things: The version of the Art Of Noise's "Dragnet" on this album is not the one that appeared in the movie. The version they should have used is the "Art Of Noise, 7" Arthur Baker Mix", which is a lot more like the screen version. And, Pat Thrall and Peter Aykroyd's "Dance Or Die" is actually a slightly reformulated version of their rejected attempt at a theme for "Ghostbusters". Also, Ira Newborn's music is just about any film is amazing. I wish the score section was actually expanded.

The download links seem broken, can they be fixed? I've been looking for "Dance or Die" everywhere!

Thanks for posting City of Crime. I used to have the soundtrack, but lost it.

I'm with you Assclown.

I think I'm going to have to play "City of Crime" at least once a day for the next week. I forgot how much I loved this song...

I'd like to forget again. I think a week'd do it.

Bless your heart, John. I was hoping someone would.

"Yes, Trevor Horn’s favorite acoustic folk combo is here..."

Okay, I laughed at that.

Would I get myself banned from here if I admitted that I owned the City of Crime single when it came out and played it more than once?

Man, that song is horrid. But it reminds me of a bygone day when Tom Hanks would act goofy and was funny. I miss the goofy and funny Tom Hanks.

When Playboy held its anniversary celebration in Vegas...at the Palms, of course (where else would you celebrate Playboy?)...I had the good fortune to exchange a high-five with Ava Fabian. Remember: She's acted opposite Tom Hanks!

Wait, Aykroyd did that? I thought he just blackmailed Wilson Pickett into doing it.

Tom Hanks? Not a bad dancer.

I had the 12" mix for "Dragnet." I couldn't help myself, my idol Arthur Baker remixed it. (It sucked, by the way.)

As bad as "City of Crime" is, it has nothing on the remake of "Land of a Thousand Dances" Aykroyd would do two years later. Remember that? No? You've forgotten it? Good for you. Keep it that way.

I totally had this soundtrack on tape! But speaking of great soundtracks, how has Real Genius never been honored with a release???

See, the trick is to look *past* the picture, then blur your eyes, then slowly let them refocus.

When you do that, "Dance Or Die" sounds like warmed-over Talking Heads.

Hey, hey, hey...I'll have you know that I once owned and loved the 45 for "City of Crime."

Is LaBelle sort of the poor man's Aretha?

I didn't remember this movie being that bad. Maybe I can still find it on VHS at the library. So I can revisit its mediocrity. :)

Wow...this should have stayed dead and buried! There is one cutout that comes to mind that isn't on CD yet...the New Wave legends Modern English album STOP START. Could be one to feature in a future edition?
