Published on November 22nd 2002 Although I’m sure the comments board will fill up with opinions about the movie, I am going to just stick to reviewing the soundtrack. I suppose I’ll do this track by track. “Corona”- Minutemen: an appropriate start to the CD is the Jackass theme song, which is by the early 80’s punk band. Honestly, I haven’t heard much else by them, but I think I may start to educate myself on them. “We Want Fun”- Andrew W.K.: This song is great. If you’ve heard any other AWK songs, you can take a guess at what this one sounds like, but it’s still great. I can’t get enough of the part at the end where he shreeks something like “What do we want?! We know what we want!!” A sidenote: I dressed up as him for Halloween. “Flesh into Gear”- CKY: Well, this song isn’t anything special. Metal-ish rock, with a keyboard part that just doesn’t fit. Ah well, but if it wasn’t for them we probably wouldn’t have Jackass or this movie, so I guess I’ll give it a chance. For those of you who don’t know, Bam Magera made a skate/prank/stunt video called CKY (Landspeed), to promote CKY, because the drummer is his cousin or something. So this video spawned two more videos and Jackass. What else did Johnny Knoxville do before Jackass besides stuff for the Big Brother videos? Anybody who knows, comment below. Sorry, stream of consciousness thing goin’ on there. Next is “Somebody’s Gonna Get their Head Kicked in Tonight” by the Rezillos. This song by this late 70’s British punk band has snotty, snarled vocals over a frenetic blues-inspired punk progression. According to the liner notes, they wanted to use the Dead Kennedys “Too Drunk to Fuck” for the golf cart scene, but were unable to for some reason or another. It would have been nice to have that song on here, but this one’s pretty good to replace it, and it’s kind of in the same style. “California Sun”- The Ramones: Can’t go wrong with the Ramones. I’m pretty sure this is a cover, and I thought it was a Beach Boys song. But after some searching online, it doesn’t seem to be. Not sure who did the original, but I do know the Ramones version is good stuff. “Alright, Alright (Here’s my Fist, Where’s the Fight?)”- Sahara Hotnights: This song is pretty sweet, think a girl version of the Hives. But not with those annoying girl vocals everyone hates- y’know what I’m talkin’ about. Girl vocals usually don’t work real well in high energy stuff, but here they do. This song will have you screamin’ “Alright, alright!” in no time, and I love the high-speed tambourine in the chorus. “Let’s Get Fucked Up”- The Smut Peddlers: apparently this is another band that is on here because the Jackass crew knows them. This song isn’t too bad, and it definitely fits the Jackass theme. Screamed (definitly not sung) lyrics over driving punk, and note the use of cowbell! “Hybrid Moments”- The Misfits: You can’t have a skate-video inspired movie without including the Misfits in some way. Not my favorite by them, but a good song. “Cha Cha Twist”- Detroit Cobras: and oldie done in a gritty garage punk way, with female vocals. This is a current band, but they make it sound vintage. This song isn’t anything exciting to me, but I’ll have to listen to a couple more of their covers (that’s all they do) to decide on these guys. “Angel of Death”-Slayer: I’m not into Slayer, but speed metal is a must-have for skate video slam-sections, as well as Jackass type stunts. “Baby Got Back”- Sir Mix-a-lot: We all know this one. Definitely a change of pace to the CD. “If You’re Gonna Be Dumb”-Roger Alan Wade: You know this one if are a Jackass fan. Perfect lyrics for any jackass- “If you’re gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough. When you get knocked down, you gotta get back up.” Country-ish stuff by another guy who apparently knows someone from the jackass bunch. Right after this song, they include the Party Boy song for you to get jiggy to in your thong. The CD also has Andrew W.K.’s jackass-themed “We Want Fun” video if you pop it in your computer, thought the quality is kinda crummy. There is also a bonus disc, a DVD that has a couple trailers and some other short clips, the Andrew W.K. “She is Beautiful” and CKY “Flesh into Gear” videos, and a funny “Party Boy Japan” video. I think they could have fit more stuff onto a whole second disc, but it’s still cool to have extras.
Not a bad soundtrack overall. If you’re going to pick it up anyway, do it soon because I hear that the DVD is only included with a limited number of copies.

I love the Jackass movies and the TV show... this is just a realllly good CD I love it. And to all you fags who say it sucks, screw off. If you don't like it, shut your f-ckin' mouth. i think yall are all freakin retarted because bitch the south will rise again so bite me... i hate rednecks MTV sometimes lets a slightly independent spirit shine through. They could've filled this soundtrack with nu-metal to further target the teenage and twenty something boys this movie targets...instead, they let the Jackass guys put out something interesting. Dictionary definition: Redneck is a term given to someone who is racist, fat, complains about other people when they themselves are peices of shit, uses "nigger" and "beaner" as constant terms in their language. I've seen that most rednecks are republican (I'm not trying to generalize, this is just what I have seen) and we have a redneck in the white house!!!! That's why the are ALL bigots, because redneck is just another word for BIGOT! My point: Not ALL rednecks are bigots, so by saying that ALL rednecks are bigots, you, sir, are a bigot. BURN! I saw TOOL last night. I don't see why rednecks aren't punk rock, ya damn bigot! Football is lightweight...Gladiotorial competitions would be badass. Imagine seeing two guys who volunteered kill eachother! I wouldn't do it. But I bet many people would. It would still probably have a lot of stupid, fat, beer drinking redneck peice of shit followers, but atleast it would be more "badass" than football. Reggie And The Full Effect are the shit. I can't think of anything less punk rock than you mindlessly following the antics of your fellow punk-mates. Sure football has a lot of boring mainstreem and redneck followers but if you ignore them you might realized how bad ass the sport is. Football- bunch of fat rednecks watching a bunch of beefy meatheads throw a ball around.......I just can't think of anything LESS punk rock. Bullshit football has nothing to do with punk rock! Do you know that the citizens of Green Bay own the Green Bay Packers? what is the world coming too, newfound glory better than motorhead? the rezillos song and "too drunk to fuck" are not the same style, seeing as how one glorifies drunken violence while the other satirizes it. anyhow, it looks fairly boring as an album, but rather exceptional as a soundtrack. you'd pretty much expect these songs on a movie by the jackass... chaps. at least its better than the road rules soundtrack mtv put out. fucking kids and their soundtracks. easy way to make a buck i guess. -seek All these 5 stars make me sick, Andrew W.K. fucking sucks. Hey, I *like* the Ataris and even I know that Slayer is better than them. You don't see Reggie & The Full Effect covering "San Dimas High School Football Rules" now, do you? i honestly think it is the funniest thing that in all the comments to every review i have read, somebody fucking rags on wussemorock. EVERY TIME. ahhhhahahaha johnny knoxville was one of the original mountain dew guys. your reveiw sucks ass. slayer is better than the ataris. football has absolutely nothing to do with punk rock. Whoever thinks that Slayer is better than the Ataris, need's a brain check. what the hell does football have to do with punk rock? slayer is better than NFG or Simple Plan. or Sum41, or allister, or the ataris, or metallica, or guns n rose, or thursday....but i can name a lot of bands better than slayer as well. Slayer fucking sucks. Metal is crappy and Andrew WK music sucks. That guy like's ramone's dongs. Andrew WK IS rock and roll. hahahahaha! everyone should post when they're drunk from now on. it would make things a hell of a lot more fun around here. wus emo rocks sucks balls i am fuckin drunk and i now this this is the first time ive ssubitted tp this sio4e asite site adn i think he needs to fuckin die alreaedy Waste, i know that you are smart enough to figure out sometimes people press the wrong keys, and to tell you the truth, I do not go back on here and proof read what I wrote. "Definetely does not sound like a good soundtrack, besides the Ramone's dong and Andrew Wk's. Everything else, especially CKY, sucks ass!!!" Andrew W.K., The Ramones, CKY are the shit. Doesn't sound like half a bad soundtrack. hey guys lets go to the football game..hohohaha! fucking retards. WussEmo- you little fucking moron, The Misfits and Slayer are awesome. you can't spell suck without USC Am I the only one here that dislikes Andrew WK?? (Bam Marger Chris Pontius aka party boy Johnny Knoxville = Threefinelookinmotherfuckers) damn, I forgot. Definetely does not sound like a good soundtrack, besides the Ramone's dong and Andrew Wk's. Everything else, especially CKY, sucks ass!!! Soundtrack is ok... CKY is really good... but the movie was quite possibly the best movie i have seen in years.-BostonMusicGuy To those anonymous posters who know everything about every band and feel I am not informative, please send me the links to your reviews so I may also be informed. Thanks! Thye play Black Flag's "Drinking & Driving" in the movie, but it's not on the soudtrack. It's funny, they list the song credited to Greg Ginn & Henry Garfeild. That song kicks ass, and I just found out that Henry actually wrote that one. Anyway, this soundtrack is good, but a waste of my money, considering I already have most of the songs. Slayer! I mean....I already have every song that I would want on this thing. You'd think they'd get newer stuff....but oh well. If you want to check out the Minutemen, go get Double Nickels On the Dime, by far their definitive release. 43 songs on one CD, including Corona. Absolutely essential. Damn...Rancid and Ramones covered that song. I thought the review was good. angel of death kicks your ass. The Minutemen and Slayer both rule. Please don't write anymore reviews... They are suppose to be informative and insightful... yours was neither This review sounds like it was written by a 13 year old. Obligatory "The Minutemen were better than any other band on this compilation, so why the fuck aren't you idiots discussing them?" post. the Rezillos are from Scotland. "California Sun" was most definitely NOT written by The Ramones. Anyone who thinks it was should do themselves a favor and leave the music reviews and comments to people with a clue. smut peddlers rule.. socals finest. i dont think the rezillos are british.. i always thought they were from scandinavia (not sure what country.) if anyone knows.. please post. Uh..you're wrong buddy. The Ramone's did not write it. The first guy was right. http://members.tripod.com/~rivieras/ California Sun is not a Ramones original, unless you spell Ramones R-I-V-I-E-R-A-S (actually, Joe Jones was the first, but that doesn't sound as damn clever). the drummer is bam's brother California sun is a Ramones original buddy |
