Hot Fuzz - The Soundtrack Options

[Kick in the Head]

Spaced and Shaun of the Dead had great soundtracks, and I was wondering which tunes other people would hope to see included in Hot Fuzz. Of course, much of this depends on what actually takes place in the film itself, but I think we've got a fair idea of the flavour from the trailers and what not. And if Mr. Wright should chance by this page during the post-production stage...who knows?

Eels - Souljacker (Part I) - as heard on the teasers, I'd like to see this appear somewhere in the film mid-shootout, as it is a corking track indeed.

The Clash - I Fought The Law - obvious track I guess, but as a reinforcement of Pegg and Frost's police force badassery, it would be a classic inclusion.

Polysics - Buggie Techinica - the Spaced soundtrack had its fair share of crazy alternative Japanese music which was absent from Shaun, so how's about this for a quick blast of techno-punk mayhem?

Any other recommendations?

Someone over at Join the Fuzz posted the soundtrack listing can be found here at HMV's site. Looks like a good'un indeed, and I'm glad the Eels track is on there. Of course, some absolute classics, nice contemporary picks and a few cool little extras (Robert Rodriguez? Lethal Weapon 3 Trailer Music?).

Hey theres,

Just to let you know that the HMV tracklisting is a little wrong.

It's in the wrong order and there's no Dire Straits.

Robert Rodriguez specially composed contribution is AVENGING ANGEL.

Jon Spencer's track is HERE COME THE FUZZ. By Jon Spencer And The Elegant Too. (The fact that my favourite band has done an awesome, awesome title track makes my year)

Osymyso has done a cracking remix of John Alexander's LETHAL WEAPON trailer music, called LETHAL FUZZ.

David Arnold opens the album with the mighty THEME FROM HOT FUZZ and closing with THE HOT FUZZ SUITE, a 23 minute epic.

Plus the FRATELLIS have done a storming cover of SOLID GOLD EASY ACTION.

Osymyso has again produced the soundtrack and so there are slick mix and dialogue snatches throughout.

I'm mighty proud of it - and I dearly hope you dig the hell of it too.

Edgar

Makes sense. There's still a shard o' them jammed into The Hulk's cheek, right?

Thanks, EW.
