In my opinion, if it wasn’t for BB, this movie would have been a total waste of money and it is no wonder that it got nominated for four Razzie Awards for Worst Picture, Worst Screenplay, Worst Actor and Worst Director; winning the Worst Picture and Screenplay award.
It did however carry some memorable songs to come out of the late 1980’s including Kokomo (No. 1 in the United States, Japan and Australia charts in July 1988) and Don’t Worry, Be Happy; with some good old classics like Hippy Hippy Shake (originally by Chan Romero), Tutti Fruitti and Rave On! (originally by Sonny West).
I give this album 4 stars.

Thanks Veen, lovely oldies, I suppose they are oldies again even from this movie. It's funny how our musical tastes get stuck in a groove and are content to stay there unless we give them a poke along. Even Lady Gaga will, one day, be a golden oldie!
Bob, I am trying to "audiolise" Lady Gaga as an oldie...sorry it ain't working, hahaha...
