Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
While the Scooby Doo cartoons of the early 1970s were often campy and implausible, they were always jokingly scary--and lots of fun. Likewise, the soundtrack to the live-action Scooby-Doo continues this spirit of lightweight fright. Outkast furiously rhyme atop eerie sound effects and thumping breakneck beats and Busta Rhymes and Uncle Kracker rap about creepy creatures above a herky-jerky bass line. Elsewhere, Allstars contribute a pulsating dancefloor homage to night noises and The Atomic Fireballs growl a swing-dance about voodoo, replete with pounding drums and peppery horns. The album does have truly scary patches of mediocrity--an anaemic Destiny's Child imitation by Beyonce's younger sister Solange, Little T and One Track Mike's lame-lyrical ode to love, and Shaggy's laid-back but boring remix of the cartoon's theme (upstaged mightily by MxPx's livelier punk version). Yet, like the antics of the irresistible animated canine and his mystery-solving posse, Scooby-Doo's unabashed silliness and cheeky merriment is colourful and highly enjoyable escapism. Kick back with a box of Scooby Snacks and enjoy the similarly sugary fluffiness of this soundtrack--you won't be disappointed. Zoinks!--Annie Zaleski

You remind me of a man...,
By
This review is from: Scooby-Doo (Audio CD)
I don't actually own this cd (yet) but I'm tempted to buy it simply on the strengths of it's most decent dance mix! Just a note to the person who thinks Atomic Fireball stole lyrics from David Bowie's "Dance Magic, Dance" in Labyrinth, actually Bowie was paying homage to some very old swing dance lyrics in which he simply changed the word man to babe. I think that Atomic Fireball did a fantastic job of updating the original swing classic...I know there's an old movie where they do a scene as well involving the very same lyrics. Does anyone remember what it is? For some reason I seem to remember it involving Cary Grant or Jimmy Stewart. Anyway. There ya go. :) Another mystery solved!

Man With The Hex,
By www.SocialNME.com (Woodbridge, VA.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scooby-Doo (Audio CD)
Anyone else pick up on the fact that in The Atomic Fireball's song "Man With The Hex", the verse "You remind me of the man, what man?..." is blatantly stolen from David Bowie's song "Magic Dance" in the movie Labyrinth? I say it was stolen because I don't see anywhere in the credits for this song any mention of David Bowie or Labyrinth at all. Is this just me? Did I miss something here?
