Can anyone offer some clues on the artists and title for the opening theme to this film?
The Big Yellow Taxi cover by Vanessa Carlton and Counting Crows was also noteworthy.
Unfortunately, the songs from the original soundtrack are not being offered, only the score.
A sountrack listing on this website would be a big help.
'Two weeks notice' from 'Tastes like burning'?
shareThe title track I think is Baby You've Got What It Takes performed by
Dinah Washington and Brook Benton.
Some of the other tracks I think are
Taking Care Of Business performed by Bachman Turner Overdrive
Big Yellow Taxi performed by Counting Crows
RESPECT performed by Aretha Franklin
The Nearness Of You performed by Norah Jones
Papa's Got A Brand New Bag performed by James Brown
Come Fly With Me performed by Frank Sinatra ( I think i may be wrong about who
performs this in the movie)
The Look Of Love performed by Dusty Springfield
Magic Moments performed by Perry Como
and I think the big finale where they kiss is
Love Is A Beautiful Thing performed by Al Green
Anybody know of any others in the movie?
My fave was Mel Torme singing Comin' Home Baby. First I had heard that version and totally dug it.

"pave paradise and put up a parking lot" are lyrics from Big Yellow Taxi. I got the DVD and more of the song is sung when the closing credits are rolling.
However, I didn't hear the "trees being put in a tree museum where they charge $1.50 for people to see them" verse, but the others seem to be there. Hope that helps.
You're very perceptive to pick on this song. I think it's the crux of the story. Just as the singer got more and more extremist in his views, he excluded those closest to him and they left. Much the same happened with Lucy.
But she got it from both sides. Those more extreme than her (like her boyfriend) left her, and those less extreme left her for much the same reason - incompatibility. It looked like Lucy was only half-hearted in her beliefs. She practiced them only to get her mother's approval. At the picnic, she really binged on the junk food.
Hello;
There is a great instrumental playing while they (Sandra and Hugh) are drinking white wine on the yacht, and she is getting pie-eyed. It is an older tune, played by a three or four piece combo. Does anyone know the song, and what group is playing it (CD info would be greatly appreciated), as this must be a great CD. This tune is kinda reminiscent of Moonglow from Picnic. Anyone out there know?? [email protected]
Since it follows "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" the sound listing says it's "If I Had You". Grokster didn't have the instrumental but it did have vocals by various artists (e.g. Alabama, Rod Stewart). The one I especially liked was the one by Bryan Adams. I hope this helps. I'm not sure but I think it's followed by "Mais Oui Mambo" at the country club, but I couldn't check it out on Grokster. My search came up empty.
shareI believe it is an instrumental version of "If I had you" has been done by multiple artists notably,frank sinatra and even billy crudup in woody allens film, "everybody says I love you."
sharei know this comes many months late, but the song "Come Fly With Me" is performed by Canadian swing/jazzz singer Michael Bublé :)
shareHi wisekwai, I saw this movie a few months ago, and the soundtrack was really great, but could only find the score (last week) Any news from the OST so far?
Cheers

I know this comes late but saw the DVD and was also interested in Soundtrack.
Found that Score was released on CD. Soundtrack was not. Soundtrack was available from Pressplay.com for download. Unfortunaletly Pressplay has been taken over by Napster 2. Soundtrack may be available there. Still looking.
Why is it that one of the best movie soundtracks in recent memory is not available on CD? Every song a gem, and works great in the film, and would be great to own on CD as well.
Somebody screwed up big time.
