Product Description

From Amazon.com
Mel Gibson's entry in to the '90s' morally ambiguous comic-crime-drama sweepstakes (successfully heralded by films like Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty, and Out of Sight) hardly breaks any fresh ground cinematically, but it's hard not to like its song collection and score. The tunes are a delightful, hipster-oriented romp through the tender, reflective side of testosterone (including Dean Martin's "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You," "It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World" by James Brown, and Lou Rawls's "If I Had My Life to Live Over") that set a suitably ironic tone kicked off by Dino's "Ain't That a Kick in the Head." Unusual for this kind of collection, Chris Boardman's fine instrumental underscore (a driving pastiche of early-'70s cop-show big-band funk and moody orchestral soundscapes) is represented by four tracks, including a tense, rollicking "Main Title" that recalls some of Lalo Schifrin's best early work. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars AINT THAT A KICK IN THE HEAD, Dec 4 2002
Payback is an enjoyable soundtrack becuase it has slick cool cat
Dean Martin singing AINT THAT A KICK IN THE HEAD which is my favorite song on this cd-it also has some more shakin tunes-IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER by Lou Rawls and LUCK BE A LADY by Micheal Civisca is a great song too!

The score for Payback is very cool too-especially the first musical track-and Dean Martin singing Your nobody till somebody loves you makes this soundtrack worth buying!

The movie is cool too-since I saw it in the theatre but the soundtrack is better though.

Get this soundtrack-you will not be dissapointed!

HOW LUCKY CAN ONE GUY BE?

I KISSED HER AND SHE KISSED ME-LIKE THE FELLA ONCE SAID-AINT THAT A KICK IN THE HEAD.

THE ROOM WAS COMPLETELY BLACK-I HUGGED HER AND SHE HUGGED BACK-
LIKE THE SAILER SAID QOUTE-AINT THAT A HOLE IN A BOAT.

MY HEAD KEEPS SPINNIN-I GO TO SLEEP AND KEEP GRINNIN-IF THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNIN-MY LIFE IS GONNA BE BEAUTIFUL-I HAVE SUNSHINE ENOUGH TO SPREAD-ITS JUST LIKE THE FELLA SAID-TELL ME QUICK AINT THAT A KICK IN THE HEAD.

LIKE THE SAILER SAID QOUTE-AINT THAT A HOLE IN A BOAT-MY HEAD KEEPS SPINNIN-I GO TO SLEEP AND KEEP GRINNIN-IF THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNIN-MY LIFE IS GONNA BE BEAUTIFUL-SHES TELLING ME WE'LL BE WED-SHES PICKED OUT A KING-SIZED BED-I COULDNT FEEL ANY BETTER OR I'LL BE SICK-TELL ME QUICK AINT THAT A KICK IN THE HEAD!

Dean Martin is so cool-I'm getting one of his cds for christmas!

5.0 out of 5 stars A brief education, Jan 18 2001
By A Customer
Studios don't "dump" songs from their soundtrack CDs. Some artists or their estates only give permission for songs to be used in the film but not on the CD. Or permission is granted, but the cost is too high. It's rare that you'll find a CD with every single song featured in a movie, even if it's a double CD. Class dismissed.

3.0 out of 5 stars ok, April 15 2000
By A Customer
Tracks 8, 10 and 11 are great. The cd in general could have been better, but it reflects the movie which by the way was excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!
I'm already very familiar with the tunes that are on this CD. The songs that I'm after are the funky ones or the less known tunes. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Could have been just a touch better...
Great sound track, till you see the movie...The choice to leave Jimi Hendrix's VooDoo Child leaves me cold to this CD, as it was a powerful part of the movi
