The first time I was aware of this song was on a trivial pursuit card which asked: “What is the most played song in British jukeboxes, yet never released as a single in the UK?”

Released in 1978 by Cold Chisel, this song is about an Australian Vietnam Veteran who is disgruntled with the world and how it has treated him and so he now has to face the recurring nightmares of Vietnam alone. He had tried to integrate himself back into society, however the only temporary relief he has found is with travel, drugs and cheap sex.

Here are the lyrics, written by Don Walker.

Well the last plane out of Sydney’s almost gone
Yeah the last plane out of Sydney’s almost gone
And it’s really got me worried
I’m goin’ nowhere and I’m in a hurry
And the last plane out of Sydney’s almost gone

And yes, the song has been hi-jacked by the bogan (translation Australian red-neck) crowd, but who cares as it’s still simply a great piece of music.

With The Goons, you either love them or don’t. I’m simply not a fan. I know that David at the excellently designed and written Permission to Kill loves them, but I just don’t find them funny, and I know this may offend some of you, I don’t find Peter Sellers funny. Maybe it is a generational thing, he just doesn’t tickle my funny bone and it is the same with Spike Milligan. Harry Secombe to me is only associated with Songs of Praise, with him standing in some windy green grass covered hill belting out songs worshipping a Church of England God is all that I know him for.

To use a football (soccer) comparison, The Goons are like George Best, everybody says they are amazing, but not seeing them in their heyday, they mean nothing to you and you honestly think that they wouldn’t connect and survive with today’s audience. And my feelings towards The Goons is the same with Dudley Moore as I wonder if he was ever funny.

The lyrics are from the The Goon Show Site:

There were two Russian lovers
Walking hand in hand on the banks of a river
in a snow covered land.
A boy and a girl with starlight in their eyes
They kiss and caress as he tenderly sighs

(Various strange words getting faster until the Russian explodes!)

I didn’t like the song, I liked the first verse, the rest was a mess, yet some will say the “mess” is hilarious, but whatever floats your boat. If you disagree, let me know.

In another post on Cold War songs – I have been busy with other stuff and frankly it is easier to write posts on songs, than finish the 20 drafts I have on books and movies. Speaking/writing of which, I watched Crimson Tide this morning and is it better than The Hunt for Red October? – I might just well be.

This song is about Elton Johns love for a Russian man, but in the video, attached below, it features an East German female Border guard. There is no denying in the video that Nikita is a very nice looking woman, and maybe it is just my monitor or the shadows from the filming, but do you think she badly needs her upper lip waxed?
I will get round to publishing my review of her Moscow Nights one day and I do like the Apple Mac advert she did, even though I am not a fan of Apple and all their conformists (to conform is the greatest sin of a free man) aka fans.

The video has many highlights including a car which in had electric windows which was the height of technological advancement with an almost invisible chauffeur, who incidentally doesn’t get asked for his passport. However, when Elton John hands over his passport he is still wearing the same clothes as the picture in it and it ruins the image that he is a rich westerner offering to save this repressed female when he can only afford one set of clothes.

The East Germans, who seem very tolerant of people taking photos at the border crossing, refuse Elton Johns entry to the East allowing the video to play a dream sequence as the music goes instrumental. This dream sequence which highlights the riches of the West that Nikita can attain by fleeing to Elton. These include some badly dressed dancing underneath a disco-ball, watching Watford (a town which makes East Berlin seem like a paradise) play football, playing chess, where she has Tintin hair, and where Elton is marked by the queen, revealing yet again his sexuality – yes Elton you are gay, you don’t have to keep reminding us and I wonder whether he is thought of nowadays as firstly being gay or as a musician? I love Queen, and I never think of Freddie Mercury being gay first then a musician, rather just a musician, why does your sexuality have to define who you are Elton rather than your music?

This dream sequence continues with some truly awful garments as they play 10 pin bowling. The clothing in this video is so bad that for some reason the very old children’s TV show rent-a-ghost kept on popping into my head.
The lyrics are:

Hey Nikita is it cold
In your little corner of the world
You could roll around the globe
And never find a warmer soul to know

And if there comes a time
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
And if you’re free to make a choice
Just look towards the west and find a friend

Lets be honest, the video is a bit crap, the song gets tedious after a minute or so and instead of watching the video, waste your time by watching this instead:

The music industry is always aimed at teenagers dreaming or wanting to be or are in love. Hormonal changes mixed with cash and cheap consumer goods is a gold mine. However, I don’t think this record would have sold many as this song is about a boy who loved Agnes who was a spy – they are bred young in the USSR. The boy gets it out of his system that he was being used and by the end he is frankly glad that she is being electrocuted for breaking his heart, because of the line more power to you Agnes. When she is dead he will have no qualms in moving on.

Maybe there is some truth to the song in that we would like to have unfaithful exes put in the Chair because when you a teenager, there is no reasonable middle ground.

I’m not sure whether this is Cold War song or whether it is a spoof, or whether it is a broken heart song or all three, however you can’t deny that the influences of the time helped the writer to come up with a narrative.

Agnes, oh Agnes
Oh, how I love you
Agnes, oh Agnes
Oh, how you made me blue

Agnes, oh Agnes
Life’s more than I can bear
Cause Agnes, my Agnes
They’re giving you the chair
But even though you are a teenage Russian spy
Agnes, my Agnes
I’ll love you till you die

(Speaks in slightly weird accent)

I can’t help myself Agnes,
I love you till you die Agnes
Wave bye bye Agnes
More power to you Agnes

. Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus is better.

Produced in (I think) 1966, this song is a classic of the Red Menace that stalks America. A decade after the excesses of McCarthy-ism, this song was sung by Marty Robbins warning about Reds in our midst and how they will corrupt, how our feeble-brained and opportunistic politicians will let us down and that God, and only God will save the good ‘ol USA.
I have to be honest and say I never understood why the country singers and the South always think they are being infiltrated by the Reds or they are the moral guardians of the USA. Just because you have think having guns and your version of God doesn’t make you right.

You came down to this southern town last summer
To show the folks a brand new way of life
But all you’ve shown the folks around here is trouble
And you’ve only added misery to their strife
Your concern is not to help the people
And I’ll say again, though it’s been often said
Your concern is just to bring discomfort, my friend
And your policy is just a little red

Let’s look and find the strong and able leaders
It’s time we found just how our neighbours stand
If we’re to win this war with Communism
Let’s fight it here as well as Vietnam
Let’s rise as one and meet our obligations
So Communistic boots will never trod
Across the fields of freedom that were given to us
With the blessing of our great almighty God
Across the fields of freedom that were given to us
With the blessing of our great almighty God

It gets a five for the sheer paranoia that still lingers on about the evils of Communism and socialism.

I have to admit that I am a fan of McCarthy, not because he polarised the country or that he destroyed careers or that he almost stopped the right of free speech and association, but because of his utter lunacy and yet he managed somehow to grip the worlds leading nation in madness. Chaos is always so much more interesting.

Replace communism for children and imagine Joe McCarthy playing the lead character in this clip.

For awhile I’ve been meaning to do reviews of the James Bond soundtracks of the films which were made during the Cold War, but I just haven’t got round to it, and there is a part of me which thinks let Bond be reviewed by the professional Bond websites, however like the weather I am sure I will change my mind.
Instead, this author is trying to focus on the less obvious works of the Cold War fiction universe (CCCP review coming soon, maybe some Elton John) and what is better than a great 1980s dance song.

But I hear you cry, “this isn’t Cold War, its a sort of floor filler of the 80′s”. For all those disbelievers out there, enclosed is the cover from the single, the lyrics and most importantly the video which features the intro from leaders such as Nixon, JFK and Arafat before the wrestling match between Reagan and the forgotten, yet no less significant, Konstantin Chernenko, before a free for all with other world leaders and the world blowing up. In a very far sighted move the video producers engaged Boris Yeltsin to play Chernenko in the video. – yes a lie but the resemblance is a bit uncanny

The lyrics are:
Songwriters: Gill, Peter;Johnson, William;O’Toole, Mark William

The air attack warning sounds like.
This is the sound.

When two tribes go to war, a point is all that you can score

as it is still well ‘ard after all these years.

In our first post of the Terrorist Thursday series, The Stasi is kicking off with Leonard Cohens classic First We Take Manhattan which has been interpreted as referring to the Red Army Faction aka the Baader-Meinhof Group.
The song features in the movie The Watchmen (on some of the movie soundtracks but not all of them) and it also qualifies for Terrorist Thursday as the Red Army Faction received support from the East Germans.

(Radio announcer’s voice)
Was die Attentäter betrifft, die in Berlin den Anschlag auf die Deutsch-Arabische Gesellschaft verübt haben, ist die Polizei einen Schritt weiter gekommen. Die jetzt nach dem Anschlag…

Ah remember me, I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Well it’s Father’s Day and everybody’s wounded
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

However, it has been argued by xymphora (warning link contains very very graphic image) and I quote ”
……..and it is clearly an anthem to Jewish supremacism. It was first recorded in spring 1986 by Jennifer Warnes, so I assume was written in the preceding year. The lyrics are fairly clear:

1. It begins with a recording of a German radio news broadcast on an attack on a German-Arab Society in Berlin.
2. “They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom For trying to change the system from within” – this refers to Jonathan Pollard, who had been arrested (in November 1985) but not yet sentenced, so Cohen was just guessing at twenty years (Pollard in fact received life).
3. “I’m guided by a signal in the heavens I’m guided by this birthmark on my skin” – ‘birthmark’ is obviously a concentration camp tattoo.
4. “I’m guided by the beauty of our weapons” – Israeli weapons.
5. “I’d really like to live beside you, baby I love your body and your spirit and your clothes” – the song is directed to the United States, and refers to the comfort of Jews living in the United States.
6. “But you see that line there moving through the station? I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those” – Jews can never live in true comfort in the United States, as they are “that line there moving through the station”, i. e., a line boarding the trains for the concentration camps.
7. “Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you’re worried that I just might win” – no comment needed.
8. “You know the way to stop me, but you don’t have the discipline” – wow! spot on!
9. “And I thank you for those items that you sent me The monkey and the plywood violin I practiced every night, now I’m ready” – a reference to the Jewish entertainment/media monopoly, and its use for Jewish supremacist goals.
10. “Well it’s Father’s Day and everybody’s wounded” – obscure, but the song may refer to Father’s Day, 1985, in the middle of the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 (U.S. Navy diver Robert Stethem was killed the day before Father’s Day 1985, and the other passengers were still in hijacker custody on Father’s Day).
11. “First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin” – Manhattan has already been taken with the complete Jewish control over American politics and media, and I can only conclude that “take Berlin” refers to the eventual Israeli nuclear attack on Europe – don’t scoff, it has already been threatened – as part of the uncompleted revenge for the Jewish holocaust.”

I’ve thought long and hard about including the above quotation as it could be classified as racist and hate speech but I think overall it is the right thing to do as it gives a different interpretation of the song, admittedly an extreme interpretation and I fully believe in Ewelyn Beatrice Hall writing in The Friends of Voltaire (1906) “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” yet Voltaire said “Opinions have caused more ills than the plague or earthquakes on this little globe of ours”.

Anyway, enjoy the video and like me, don’t read into the lyrics as we can all twist or interpret things into what matches our views (esp. the Bible) and instead enjoy the music.

David Foster and I caught up for a few drinks to swap stories about our missions and gossip about our fellow operatives (Mister 8 – did you feel your ears burn??). Our little spy cabal/quorum gazed across the water and sank a few beers, unlike some prissy drinks that are shaken and….. *groan*, as we sought respite from the blazing Australian sun, I wondered briefly about Rob and thought whether he was mad living in London where it’s dark all day long and cold?

David tried to convert me to saint-hood, but I resisted and we also quickly discussed The Watchmen soundtrack. I was poked and scratched in the eye the other week by a fir tree, meaning I could only see out of one eye for awhile, so I have been listening to soundtracks instead of reading books. The injury made me wear an eye-patch for a short-time and as I was then a spy pirate, the site nearly became TheSt-arghhhh-si.com.
The Watchmen, who A.S, the man behind Mister 8 is a big fan, as he is a comic book nut, was a pretty bad film, however Armstrong, I do agree with your comment about the opening credits but question your sense of taste loving something that is poor compared to Jeremiah, which was later turned into an awful TV series. There are times when I want to nuke America or at least execute people who turn great European or British books, films and TV series into Americanised versions for audiences with their lack of irony and cultural sophistication. America does do some fantastic stuff of their own, but when it’s the conversion stuff from the “Old World”, it’s 99% deplorable, but heck what do I know as I’m a snob.

Jeremiah follows the set against the backdrop of America, which was fighting a racist civil-war between white (WASP) and black (Black-Power), till someone presses the nuclear button and re-sets America. In this post-apocalyptic world Jeremiah has his adventures. I wont go into too much detail apart to say it’s a cruel world where there is a lot of sex, violence and cruelty and not one ounce of pity throughout the stories. The Watchmen has at the core of it heroic characters and they are trying to do good deeds, where in Jeremiah you kill or you sexually abuse then kill to survive. Not sure if there are English translations, but Armstrong get the books and a French dictionary and enjoy.
To get an idea of the drawings here are some examples:

So with the really bad movie in mind I had no great hopes when played the soundtrack, but it’s a good-ish soundtrack.

1. Desolation Row - My Chemical Romance This is just bad noise and I couldn’t wait for this track to finish.

2. Unforgettable -Nat King Cole. Great song, makes me just instantly chill-out . When I listen to this, I can see myself in a tuxedo with the bow tie rakishly loose and I’m sipping a whisky watching life slowly beautifully slip by.

3. The Times They Are A-Changin’ – Bob Dylan Never been a Dylan fan, never understood the hype, but it’s a great song.

4. The Sound Of Silence – Simon And Garfunkel. Yet again, I was never a fan of S & G till recently, one of my sisters loves them. This is a great song and I’ve always agreed with Eric Cartman who think hippies are a menace to society and a waste of space. Have a wash and go do something meaningful with your life instead “all they do is smoke pot and play frisbee”. It’s immature but Cartman will make me laugh till I die.

5. Me And Bobby McGee – Janis Joplin. Looking on wikipedia, she is a famous signer who died early, but I have to admit that I have never really heard of her and couldn’t name any of her songs. Song is ok, and when I saw the title I imagined a different version of the song. Or maybe I’m confusing this with Mack the Knife..

6. I’m Your Boogie Man – KC & The Sunshine Band. Psych the TV show makes me laugh and I loved the episode (Disco Didn’t Die, It Was Murdered!) where they go back to the 1970s and I want to live a 1970s day, but the whole world has to join in so that I’m not a freak in a badly fitting afro, wearing those cheap looking multi-coloured glasses like John Lennon, (Does anybody else think The Beatles were crap or is it just me) with jeans that don’t allow me sit down as I browse the supermarket. The image I want to portray is that I’m a cooler and much saner version of John Travolta. This is a good song.

7. You’re My Thrill – Billie Holiday I have a music loving crush on Billie Holiday and Nina Simone, even though their styles are different. Great song.

8. Pruit Igoe & Prophecies – Philip Glass Ensemble I’m always a huge fan of classical, especially classical style music in movies. I’m not sure if this an original song, but was bits of this in The Matrix? I always like good Catholic chanting with hints of Latin or Russian Orthodox sounds, and I also like Graham Greene novels and this is leading me to start thinking that I might be a Catholic who likes your old fashioned vengeful god rather than the happy clappy stuff or those con men TV Evangelists. If those con men were Muslim they would be denounced as terrorists, racist and called Mad Mullahs, but because they are supposedly Christian, we overlook that they line their own pockets from donations and are not promoting Christianity, but rather a cult in their own image along the line of the North Korean leaders. TV Evangelists represent one of the core stereotypes that the rest of the world uses to laugh at Americans, even though the Catholic Church has a Pope with eyes that scare me.

9. Hallelujah – Leonard Cohen It’s now a fact of life that in every TV series or film which needs music to set the background to a death that they pick Hallelujah. It is a great song, great lyrics and this is a very good version, but let’s see some imagination in the film scoring world.

10. All Along The Watchtower – Jimi Hendrix. Don’t like the song, don’t like Hendrix – Rather listen to The Doors

11. Ride Of The Valkyries – Budapest Symphony Orchestra. Let’s be honest it’s a great piece of music, but he was antisemitic and had his music adopted by Hitler and this will always overshadow his legacy. This blog allows me to make opinions, some I will later regret and see as childish, but why is it if you criticise something that is Jewish, you are labeled as antisemitic. The whole world rejoiced recently to celebrate 20 years of the Berlin Wall coming down, but at the same time closes their eyes to the wall between Israel and Palestine and that is wrong. Am I antisemitic or naive that I think the wall in Israel is appalling?

12. Pirate Jenny [Live] – Nina Simone Has a great voice, but it’s not one of her best. At least they didn’t choose one of her more common tracks. Not prepared to criticise Nina in public.

Why this album doesn’t have First We Take Manhattan by Leoned Coen, which was the greatest song in the movie is beyond me.

I’m re-reading this entry and I see that I’ve insulted:
David Foster – for laughing at his enjoyment of The Saint, even though Roger Moore has the acting skills of a wooden puppet.
Roger Moore now added
Mister 8 and America for having no taste and no sense of irony whilst they give money to those Christian saviours on TV. And learn how to make and then spell whisky – no ‘E‘.
Rob at Deighton for frankly being English and living in London, when he could get on plane and live somewhere where it’s nice and warm or just nice. Australia needs teachers Rob and the Ashes will be back in Australia very soon anyway, plus it was started just outside Melbourne.
England now added
The Pope, for having evil looking eyes
Israel for questioning their national defense policy.
The Political Correct lobby for questioning what is defined as antisemitism.
My Chemical Romance, The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix for being crap
The music industry supporting the movie industry for their lack of imagination when it comes to choosing songs.
You, dear reader for trying a very lame pirate joke and for the randomness of this post.

Apologies to all.

Hippies – you don’t deserve an apology!

Overall, the soundtrack is ok-ish

Ok, let’s get it out of the way and have the compulsory Tom Cruise bashing- he’s probably a gay weird midget who is a Scientologist freak (somethings should be banned to protect people from their own stupidity). His acting skills are non-existent but he manages to be successful and seriously fair play to him punching above his weight/height.

Now that’s done, let me give you some background and see if you think Mr Cruise (supposedly got very sharp-eyed lawyers, but if you sue, happy to comply and thanks for the publicity and for reading, please leave a comment) is the only weirdo here. When I was young, my sisters and I, with my parents driving, used to tour Europe by car for a few weeks every year and we only played the same tapes every year, but in my young strange mind they were the greatest music out there. As I read Commando comics, and my sisters read Twinkle and Bunty we listened to:

1) Dire Straits – Money for Nothing – first ever album I bought. Still listen to it. Brothers in Arms still one of the greatest songs of all times and it got even better when it featured in the greatest West Wing episode.
Question: If you had to choose between the Sopranos and The West Wing as the only series you could watch, what would it be? I pick the West Wing- you?

2) Buster soundtrack -taped copy – “We are going loco down in Acapulco ..” even now it makes me dance a camp jiggle as I type this.

3) Pet Shop Boys and Erasure – The campest bands of the 80s, the godfathers of dance music is how I justify them, but there is no need with their great music.

4) Hue and Cry and Del Amitri – pure class.

5) My mums mix tape which had highlights such as Sonny and Cher, the Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck song and Gloria…GLORIA!!!!

6) Lots of viacom tape books, which had the deep sounding viacom voice and “when r2d2 goes dodododup.. you turn the page”

7) Top Gun soundtrack.

I do understand why the Communists always have self-confession sessions as it does clear the soul, bring back tears of happiness and shame and it has also allowed me to move on and write this review with a critical ear.

1. Danger Zone – Kenny Loggins This is still a great piece of cheesy music and makes me want to have a motorbike, and race along in the dusk beside fighter jets or simply go and bomb something.

2. Mighty Wings – Cheap Trick Every album needs some fillers to fill out the time, and this is pure filler.

3. Playing With the Boys – Kenny Loggins I’m writing this as I listen to the soundtrack and even though I haven’t seen the movie in years, I can still see the homo-erotica film photography of them playing volleyball on the beach and that dominates this rather mediocre track.

4. Lead Me On – Teena Marie Lead me on, lead meeee on, on, on, on, on. The lyrics are bad, the trumpets(?) in the background are pure eighties, but for some reason I’m still nodding my head and signing along, therefore I must sadly like this song.

5. Take My Breath Away- Berlin After all these years, it’s just tacky, but yet again I still hum along even though the song does seem to last a minute and half too long, so the longer I listen to it my self respect comes back as I start to dislike it again.

6. Hot Summer Nights – Miami Sound Machine Ok, not great, not bad, but I still have the chorus burned in my head from too many previous plays. Did Gloria Estefan (where is she now?) sing this?

7. Heaven in Your Eyes – Loverboy Dreary ballad that seems to stretch time making this song feel like it lasts for an hour. The good thing about mp3′s is that you can just click a mouse and fast forward, where I remember being very excited having a ghetto-blaster that had the magical thing where you could fast forward a tape and it would find the next track by finding the next music break. Kids nowadays never had it so good.

8. Through the Fire – Larry Greene Slightly better than the last song, still stretches time, yet it’s more upbeat. The Top Gun version of Rockys Eye of the Tiger, but with 1/100th of the motivational sound. *click* next song.

9. Destination Unknown – Marietta Come on, this is getting ridiculous, how could my memories blank out so many bad songs in a row. Better than the last two.

10. Top Gun Anthem – Harold Faltermeyer and Steve Steven Great, fantastic, anthem-ic. I can see myself walking across a carrier, helmet under my arm and shouting “you can be my wingman” but the song, like many others on this soundtrack, seems to repeat itself and goes on too long. If that is Steve Stevens real name, what cruel parents.

11. (Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay – Otis Redding It’s strange that such a great classical song as this is on this album and it changes the mood completely, especially after the adrenaline rush of the last one.

12. Memories – Harold Faltermeyer The navigator with the mustache (goose? gooseman?) is dead, and this track plods along sharing the grief.

13. Great Balls of Fire [Original Version] – Jerry Lee Lewis Never really liked this song – Was this in Back to Future one of the greatest movies of all time?

14. You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ – Righteous Brothers I detest this slow song and my detestation was reinforced with how drunk people think that this is them being original and singing it whenever they have access to a microphone. I went to wedding in Thailand which was great, apart from the time the groom and some of his very drunken mates sang this song on stage. Gav – utter shambles, but it’s your wedding and you can do what you want on that day.

15. Playing With the Boys [Dance Mix] – Kenny Loggins I’m over this album now and I wonder why did they have to stick on a unneeded 1980s dance version of this song at the end.

This album has been a revelation to me as I never realized how bad it was, how dis-jointed the tracks were and that I think I’m turning into a cranky old man, who has a core of gayness ( I still love Queen and the Pet Shop Boys) and when this album finished on my PC, Kylie came on singing ‘Better The Devil You Know’ and ‘The Loco-Motion’ and I didn’t change the music so maybe my marriage is a sham or I’m straight with really bad music taste – I’m confused.

Looking back, I see that this is a gay movie with a gay soundtrack and then I discovered this video on youtube (credit to ilike2mash) and I’ll let the QT summarize it for me.

The best Tom Clancy movie with the best Jack Ryan with Sean Connery set in a Russian submarine during Cold War, (all ultimate movie criteria boxes ticked) is accompanied by this fantastic soundtrack that delivers in spades all that is good about Cold War fiction.

It starts off with the unforgettable Hymn to the Red October and the Nuclear Scan and I defy anyone by the end of these first 2 tracks to not feel like digging out a copy of the film and indulging in a bout of nostalgia for the days of the fictionalised Cold War. To be honest, they could have just stuck these 2 tracks on the CD and I still would have bought it.

Putins Demise – named after the death of Harry Pearce from Spooks and Course 2-5-0 are nice and short and leads you into Ancestral Aid which has a nice bit of Russian chanting, reminding you of the Hymn.
Chopper is well done, its nice and fast, just like a chopper. I can close my eyes and see a chopper flying over sea, so well done Basil, but is it as good as the the theme from Air Wolf?
Two Wives is probably the weakest tune on the soundtrack. The whole tune is a long build up, then ends. It would have been simpler just to add it to the start of Red Route 1. Red Route 1 is ok, and I have to say the same for Plane Crash. These 3 tunes are forgettable background music however the soundtrack then redeems itself with Kaboom which has some nice late 80s, early 90s beats to it.

Overall, buy the soundtrack for the first 2 songs, the rest are bonus extras.
