The movie's musical accompaniment primarily consists of popular songs from the 80s and 90s, which provide a terrific soundscape for the film. After all, how can you hate a movie that plays Corona's classic "Rhythm of the Night" over its end credits?

Elsewhere, Faith No More's brilliant "Epic" is triumphantly played out as Wiseau and Sestero head to the set for the first day of shooting, and licks from Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, Kylie Minogue and Rick Astley also make memorable appearances.

Though hardly instrumental to the film's success, the musical selections do nevertheless add even more enjoyable flavour to the film, and in the case of a few of the songs, actually result in Wiseau singing them on-screen, which is at least as hysterical as it sounds.
