To be honest, I never liked neither Russel Brand nor Jonah Hill and I still don't. Therefore, I was quite staggered to find their last movie, Get Him to the Greek, really entertaining. The most surprising fact though, was the unexpected quality of its soundtrack.
The soundtrack is compiled as a CD from the fictional group Infant Sorrow, lead by Brand's character, Aldous Snow. It features songs written by Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother), Jarvis Cocker (Pulp) and Carl Barat (The Libertines) among others and if it wasn't for the pleasantly improper lyrics, I could see them easily getting lots of radio and TV airplay.
Going Up
Gang of Lust
Furry Walls
Where else do you get so many well-crafted, funny songs created just for the needs of a film, which, at the same time, could work well on their own?
