6. Holla by The Baha Men - Garfield: The Movie
Okay, okay. The Baha Men arent exactly Grammy worthy musicians. But this song is just so catchy and fun. It was also the title track of the last album this little reggae get-up put together nine years ago! Garfield was a pretty horrific kids film really. It took what we nothing more than an amusing comic strip and turned it into a misguided journey through New York (how original) that dealt with...well, Im not exactly sure what. But I found it enjoyable as a kid. Not so much now. In Zombieland, Bill Murray called the film his one regret...ouch. This song is a fun little reggae/pop piece that doesnt really do anything the Baha Men havent done before. It just tells you to get up and party. But I, personally, think its the best effort theyve ever given. A lot more entertaining than the overrated Who Let The Dogs Out. http://youtu.be/AwWgmeOxjiA
5. The End Is the Beginning Is the End by Smashing Pumpkins - Batman & Robin
Oh boy. To have your work associated with the abominable Batman & Robin is so embarrassing its no wonder this song never took off. The Smashing Pumpkins are an awesome and very talented band. So its such a shame to see their talents wasted on this film. The song starts off with a haunting electronic guitar riff. It is very modern but very rough at the same time. Corgans vocals here were creepy and near villainous...you know, like every villain in Batman & Robin wasnt. Its a haunting gothic piece that deserved more recognition than it got. But, unfortunately, as soon as you see clips from Batman & Robin playing amidst shots of the excited band you cant help but cringe. Can you believe they also got R.E.M, the Goo Goo Dolls and R. Kelly to contribute to this soundtrack? http://youtu.be/BWbY4XlUi9k
