Product Description
From Amazon.com
One of the many wonderful things about the film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert was that it educated the populace on the school of drag. (At least a little.) Likewise, the film's soundtrack also enlightens those who may have wrongly thought that drag is rooted specifically in disco and torch classics. Sure, there's more than one version of disco stalwarts like "Shake Your Groove Thing," "I Love the Nightlife," and "I Will Survive," but this collection also finds the camp in songs like Paper Lace's "Billy Don't Be a Hero" and "Take a Letter Maria" by R.B. Graves. And of course, Abba's "Mamma Mia" emerges as the embodiment of overwrought dramatics. The soundtrack, with songs by the Village People and Vanessa Williams, is as much of a romp as the film. --Steve Gdula

A great collection of songs!
Oct 29 2002
Format:Audio CD
The CD opens with a song meant for camp purposes. But, you know it's a guilty pleasure because you'll start singing along too! We're all allowed.
The variety of songs on this CD is wonderful. From jazz to folk to disco to modern remixes of those old dance hits--you will not be disappointed.
As you can see, there are a lot of tracks and the CD is worth it! It's a great disc for parties and other fun activities.
During my cassette days, I wore out the tape. Now that I have a CD player, I can play the disc over and over and over as many times as I want. I still catch myself singing "Can't Help Loving That Man" from "Showboat." That's just one of many great songs on this soundtrack CD. Treat yourself to the movie and then relive your film experience with this CD!

Format:Audio CD
Then, drop in this compilation of tunes selected for one of cinema's most unusual stories. Anyone that lived during the oh-so-delicious 70's, as well as anyone with a longing to experience the "ME decade" will delight in this offering. Even the early 90's "Save the Best for Last" and "Finally" have a place here among the disco gems of Peaches & Herb, Alicia Bridges, and the greatest dance song of all: "I Will Survive". Each of the latter are presented in multiple versions, sure to get one's feet a-thumping.
Now, where in the attic is that disco ball?
Awesome soundtrack, a few too many extras
April 17 2002
Format:Audio CD
My only qualm with this soundtrack, which is one of my all time favorites, is the extra extended mixes of "I Love the Nightlife", "Go West", "Shake Your Groove Thing"(one of my fave dance hits of all time), and "I Will Survive". These are all really fun songs that came out of the 70's, but I don't need to hear them this often! Maybe as a party disc, I can see how these mixes would fit in. Or maybe if you are working out it would be a great collection of fast songs to get you moving, aside from the few slow ones. I just feel that there is too much repetition.
The disc is outstanding aside from that. This is such a fun group of songs to just pop in your c.d. player and groove to. It's always gets me dancing. It is very entertaining, and I even appreciate the older songs, "I Don't Care If the Sun Don't Shine", and "Can't Help Loving That Man", and "A Fine Romance". These are all by great female singers of an earlier generation than the 70's.
Being an Australian movie, they just had to throw a little ABBA in, "Mamma Mia". There are a few songs from the 90's, "Save the Best for Last" by Vanessa Williams and "Finally" by CeCe Penniston. Then there are a few obscure 70's songs, "Billy Don't be a Hero", and "Take a Letter, Maria". It is a very ecclectic mix, and the mix of songs all fit perfectly together. It's a perfect compliment to the film itself.
I highly recommend this soundtrack. This will not disappoint! Especially for fans of the movie!

You know you love it! Admit it!
It's true. For all the earlier reviewers bashing this CD for having disco (gasp!), get over yourselves. Honestly, this is a fun CD that also is suprisingly well-balanced. Read more

Great movie, good soundtrack
Okay, somewhere between good and great. Good compilation fodder, but how many remixes of "I Like the Nightlife" do you really need? About 6 apparently. Read more
