Editorial Reviews

Soundtracks have been grand experiments in marketing for so long--let's match a bunch of rappers with a bunch of metalheads! electronica-ists with indie rockers!--that it's a relief that the people who put together the BASEketball soundtrack seem to have a simple guiding principle: big, dumb, fun songs that rock. It's an album full of summer-ready singles: there are gimmicky songs (Reel Big Fish's cover of a-ha's "Take On Me," Nerf Herder's "Don't Hate Me," the Cherry Poppin' Daddies' take on Harry Belafonte's "Jump in the Line"), straight-ahead rockers (the Supersuckers, Plastiscene), a couple of radio-crafted rent-a-hits (including one from the once-mighty Soul Asylum), and even a song that's already been a hit (Smash Mouth's "Why Can't We Be Friends"). Granted, Nerf Herder's track might not be a gimmick, since they pretty much always sound that way--but it, like the majority of the album, is a hell of a lot of fun. Hit the beach and turn it up. --Randy Silver

I have a question.......2006-02-21

I really like the songs and the movie is awesome, I own it, but my question is this: What's the name of the song that the cheerleaders dance to in like the middle of the movie? It sounds like "Everybody's downtown, everybody's downtown". Does anyone know? Please if you could tell me i'd thank you a lot. Just send the answer to highcommander3rdrock@hotmail.com Thank you again.

Only buy it if you like punk.......2005-12-15

I didnt like it at all, howevery someone who likes punk would probably like it. It is almost all punk and I absolutly hate punk. I really just bought it cause i like the movie and i've seen the movie atleast a billion times. I really dont know what to say other than only buy it if you like punk.

Best Soundtrack ever.......2003-01-27

If you want a CD in which you want to get pumped with happiness this is your selection, it doesn't matter how down you are, this will get you in a good mood, come on it is Ska/Punk, it has Goldfinger, RBF and many other great band, the only thing that could meke this even better would be some other 20 bonus tracks.

A MUST BUY!.......2001-11-21

I Bought this CD after i watched the movie(like 30times) and it was totally worth buying. It has sweet songs on it, also the songs are pretty funny, so i strongly recemend thsi CD.

Ahh the Baseketball soundtrack, blending the sounds of ska with...the Cherry Poppin' Daddies? You heard it right folks, I speak truth, if you like ska you are going to want this album. Sampling such talent as Reel Big Fish, The Ernies, The Dickies, Goldfinger, Smashmouth should make you want this one already. Still need proof? Even Deep Blue Something (thats right the guys who did "Breakfast At Tiffanys") do a great cover of "Tonight", Soul Asylum drops in with "I will still be laughing" and you can't leave out the Cherry Poppin' Daddies with their hilarious "Jump In The Line". If you still need proof by now well hey I only have one thing to tell ya, sorry this album obviously isn't for you.
