Valley Girl: Music From The Soundtrack [Soundtrack]
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Martha Coolidge's 1983 directorial debut--based loosely on the Frank (and Moon) Zappa (who weren't involved with the film) novelty hit of the previous year--carried a budget so low that it didn't even generate a soundtrack album when it was released. Loosely based on the same themes as Romeo and Juliet, (with a young Nicolas Cage as a Hollywood homeboy Montague) Valley Girl's producers were also savvy enough to tap into LA radio outlet KROQ's pioneering "Rock of the 80s" format. Rhino's unofficial soundtrack release captures much of the spunky essence of KROQ's playlist--three tracks by LA's great Plimsouls (including their biggest hit "A Million Miles Away"), some novelty hits (Josie Cotton's "Johnny Are You Queer, "Jukebox" by the flirts, Felony's "The Fanatic")--and fondly recalls an era when rock's fun quotient hadn't yet been tattooed and pierced into oblivion. --Jerry McCulley

Bonnie Hayes had 2 songs in the movie that aren't on this CD........2007-01-27
Bonnie Hayes had 2 songs in the movie "Valley Girl" that are not on this CD. Those songs are called "Girls Like Me" and "Shelley's Boyfriend." Both of those songs are from her 1982 album "Good Clean Fun." Unfortunatley, that wonderful album has never been released on CD.
But if you google "Bonnie Hayes," she has her own website where she lets you legally download both of those songs for free. I just thought you might like to know that!
I love this CD!.......2006-10-02
I'm only 20 years old, but I've loved this movie pretty much since birth, and my mom had the soundtrack when I was younger, so I grew up listening to the pioneering new wave of the 80's. I've purchased my own copy and love it to this very day! I'm still looking to buy the 2nd soundtrack, but for some reason can't seem to find it anywhere. I know it was on Amazon a while back, but was very expensive (almost $40) and there were only about 4 available. There's some great songs on that one as well, in fact, I might like that one just a little bit more. But definitely check this CD out! It's like totally tubular, for sure!
Great Early 80's!.......2006-04-05
If you are familiar with the movie and all the of new wave you heard, this is a soundtrack to have. The Plimsouls really made it hard not to like one of the main songs "A Million Miles Away." This is a great CD to have in the car for trips or just for everyday driving to and from work. Having a bad day? Listen to this and you will either laugh or just go back to those times when you were dancing to this music.
Never received material.......2006-03-26
You shipped it to the wrong address and I never received it!!!!
great.......2006-03-24

Customer Reviews:
The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra needs a guitar player!.......2006-11-09
Granted, they only need it for one composition (the last one, "The James Bond Theme") but still, without the guitar it's just not the same. Barry didn't compose this one so I suppose it was a bonus and I shouldn't complain, really. The rest of the music on all the CDs is fantastic. Some of the stuff I had heard before without realizing who had composed it. Very enjoyable, to say the least.
Persuaders Theme!.......2006-03-02
Buy it for the Persuaders theme, probably the best TV theme song ever written.
A Variety Of Classics!.......2005-12-06
John Barry has been composing film scores for over forty years and this is only scratching the surface of his productions. Never mind that the entire set is recorded by the Prague Philharmonic; it's pure to Barry's themes. While John Williams compositions ("Star Wars", etc.) are wild and flamboyant and Jerry Goldsmith's (Hoosier's, etc.) are mood pieces, John Barry crosses over all barriers and is amazingly diverse. Barry has recorded most of the exciting James Bond themes, melodramatic classics like "The Lion In Winter' and moody theme hits like "Midnight Cowboy". He also tugs at the heartstrings with compositions from, "Somewhere In Time", "Frances" and "Out Of Africa". He varies his themes for all types of films and few composers capture it so well.
There is over four hours of music in this set with a colorful and informative booklet.
Incredible Barry Collection.......2004-03-11
Any fan of movies will absolutley love this collection. Being a movie buff I couldn't wait to get this boxed set. Knowing Barry from all the James Bond movies, I did not realize his involvement with so many others. The orchestra is magnificent in all these themes. I'm listening to "High Road to China" right now and I'm drifting in the clouds in a Tiger Moth with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong. If you are familiar with a movie it will definitely have you seeing it again, if not the scores are still beautiful. Any fan of classical music will be pleased as well. Travellers will defintitely enjoy it for a long drive. I know from when I use to travel that music like this made the miles float by faster. I highly recommend these four CDs even if you just know a handful of the songs.
" one of cinema's greatest composers...John Barry".......2001-07-06
This collection of four compact discs...are worth their weight in GOLD! Barry creates visual moods for each film he scores...romantic, sentimental, action, adventure, suspense and mystery...the list could go on. Strings, brass and lush-velvet arrangements overlay each cue in his distinctive style of legendary scoring...we have ~ "John Barry:The Collection", Silva Screen's release traces 40 years of film music, featuring "The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra" ~ conducted by Mr. Nic Raine (outstanding)..."Crouch End Festival Chorus" ~ David Temple, Choir Master...perform 56 selections, over four hours of symphonic suites with a full orchestra sound...all individually wrapped-up into one neat package...just the way "film-score-buffs" like 'em!
Must ask the following to take a bow ~ James Fitzpatrick (compilation producer), always in their pitching, Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Nic Raine (conductor, arranger, orchestrator & associate producer), a tremen!dous asset to every project he undertakes...and the man who made it all possible...a legendary icon always leading the way in film scoring ~ JOHN BARRY!
Total Time: 258:76 on 56 Tracks ~ SSD-1128 ~ (2001)
You might try other albums from Silva Screen, all worthy of a good listen ~ "The Essential James Bond" (SSD-1034)..."Bond:Back In Action" (SSD-1100)..."Bond:Back In Action 2" (SSD-1119)..."Zulu" (SSD-1095)..."Raise The Titanic" (SSD-1102)..."Walkabout" (SSD-1120)...check out my reviews on amazon.com/music.

Customer Reviews:
Great, but no prize.......2002-03-31
The selections from the Ring trilogy, Friends in need and Fallen Angel were excellent, however, some of the special request such as joxer the mighty, seemed a little bit rushed. Wasn't that song on Volume 2 already? Where was M'Lila's song from Destiny, or the music played During the first Kiss in "The Quest"
The cd has its good points, personally "It's Over" from "THAB" with its haunting melodies portraying the consequences of war.
Xena;Warrior Princess volume six.......2002-01-09
I am so happy that the last and final cd has come out, now my collection is complete. I am very sad for the show ending, but I am glad to still collect things.
Great Collection.......2001-12-25
Well, I have them all by now, but this last one is a great collection, with the added bonus of the music from A Friend In Need.
Just another fine addition to my Xena collection!
Exceptional.......2001-11-30
I am a fanatic and devoted Xenite.I have a huge problem:i can't stop listening to that cd,since the first time i listened to it,which means 1 month!That cd is really exceptional and i think that every true and genuine Xenite should buy it!It's really good!I was moved when i heard the Fallen Angel part.I was passioned when i heard the Ring Trilogy!I was astonishing when i heard the bonus cues that were included,especially the cue from The Quill Is Mightier(fishin part),oh,i was completely satisfied!
Though,there is a complain:i can't understand,why after 6 cd's,the producers don't do a cd including cues like:M'laila's song,the cues from the Bacchaen festival,music from Deja Vou All Over Again,where in the end,Gabrielle says to Xena those wonderful words,or even the scene of the kiss in The Quest!That,i can't understand it!
Last, i believe that whoever likes LoDuca's music style,should buy this cd.
Pay attention to the 22 cue:Pas De Deux Femmes.It is one of a something and whoever remembers what's the scene of this song,will agree with me!Mmmm!
A MIX OF THE BEST, THE WORST AND THE MISSING.......2001-11-29
To all truly Xena fans this CD is a must-have but have some lacks... Fun (comedy episodes music) scores destroy the the great combination of FALLEN ANGEL, THE RHEINGOLD TRILOGY AND I FRIEND IN NEED. In the first selections LoDuca creates spectacular high level music good enough to be played in a Symphony orchestra concert. The others selections have easy-to-fill-space western cowboy music instead of put M'Lilas song of DESTINY, Amazon's climbing trees of ADVENTURES IN THE SIN TRADE and NAJARA vs XENA music that would be gladly accepted by us. I doubt the company will launch a next CD but if they'll do this track and another valuable more must be there and the adittion of some famous characters quotes like "I have many skills" from Xena.

Inspired by the Moon Zappa novelty hit of the early '80s, Valley Girl actually became a musical showcase for the dizzying array of styles that collided under the mantle of new wave. And though the movie didn't even have an initial soundtrack release, Rhino has more than made up for that shortcoming with two generous volumes. Deriving much of its inspiration from then-pioneering L.A. radio outlet KROQ's "Rock of the 80's" format, this second volume offers up a couple bona fide early MTV classics (Toni Basil's "Mickey," Culture Club's "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me"); nervy nouveau power pop (the Plimsouls' "Zero Hour"); upbeat U.K. R&B (the Jam's "A Town Called Malice"); rhythmic synth-pop ("In the Name of Love" by Thompson Twins); and, of course, a loopy dollop of the genre's unrequited love for novelty and sexual innuendo ("I Eat Cannibals" by Total Coelo, Sparks' "Eaten by the Monster of Love," and "Pocket Pool" by Killer Pussy). Can skinny ties be just around the corner--again? --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews:
A Rare `80s Classic.......2007-06-24
Valley Girl: More Music from the Soundtrack is the 2nd volume of the Valley Girl Soundtrack, this CD contains all the other music from the movie that couldn't be fitted into the first volume, plus many other songs that weren't heard in the movie, but fit into the whole valley girl theme. Some of the songs this disc includes which were heard in the movie are: "Girls Like Me" (Surprised this wasn't in the first volume) and "Shelly's Boyfriend" by Bonnie Hayes and the Wild Combo, "Time to Win" by Gary Myrick and the Figures (One of my favorites), and Eaten by the Monster of Love by Sparks (Another Favorite). This CD also ranges from big hits like "Mickey" by Toni Basil and" Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?" by Culture Club to rare songs like "The Earthquake Song" by Little Girls, "Marina Men" by Valley Girls, and "Pocket Pool" by Killer Pussy. This 2nd volume is absolutely amazing and I find it better than the first, there is not one song that I don't like. The music is definitely fun, danceable, and very `80s, and a must have for all of you `80s/New Wave fans. Unfortunately this CD is out of print, and very difficult to find. I honestly do not own the original copy of this soundtrack, but I spent months looking for most songs until I was able to find them all with the exception of "Marina Men" which I have yet to find. This is a very rare gem, and I'm hoping, even praying that Rhino could be kind enough to re-issue it, so I can get my hands on a copy.
Totally Cool!!!.......2003-10-07
This is an awesome 80's compilation cd and I would reccommend anyone who likes 80's new-wave music would truly enjoy this cd and I would recommend anyone to buy it they have some great songs on this cd it has : the monster of love, girls like me, he was really saying something, mickey and others it is cool I really like this album and I really do enjoy it I would recommend you to buy both volumes to this soundtrack you would really enjoy listening to them!!!!
Remember when music was fun?.......2000-11-07
More killer tunes from the vastly underrated film "Valley Girl." This cool collection effectively adds songs which were noticeably absent from the original soundtrack. In fact, this CD is worth the price of admission just for Sparks'classic romp "Eaten by the Monster of Love" and Bonnie Hayes' bouncy "Girls Like Me". Other notable artists included on this disc are the Plimsouls, the Jam and Jane Wiedlin. I'd recommend "More Music from the Soundtrack of Valley Girl" to anyone who longs for a return to a time when music was energetic and fun. (Unlike most of the mean-spirited garbage that stinks up the airwaves today.) Totally Trippindicular!!
More Great Music from a Great Movie.......1999-04-19
The first Valley Girl soundtrack album was great, but notably missing three of the movie's best songs ("Girls Like Me", "Shelly's Boyfriend", and "Eaten by the Monster of Love"). This album fills that gap by including those three songs and others, but most of these songs have nothing to do with the film. Despite that, they are similar to those from Valley Girl, giving the disc a great thematic feel. As far as I know, this is the only available CD with "Eaten by the Monster of Love", possibly Sparks' best tune. Definitely worth the purchase.
Like, OMIGOD! This CD is totally tubular. Fer sure!.......1999-02-06
A great movie deserves an even greater soundtrack and this one really delivers! If you have the original Valley Girl soundtrack, this one includes all of the great songs that were left out (Girls Like Me, Eaten By the Monster of Love, and my personal favorite, Pocket Pool). If you enjoyed the movie and if you enjoy compilations of 80's music, I would definitely reccommend this CD.
