Believe It Or Not, This Is Not a “Snakes on a Plane” Fansite

I know everyone is probably SICK of me talking about Snakes on a Plane, but I do have to mention how incredibly AWESOME the soundtrack to the movie is. I talked a bit about how amazing it is with Jo Whiley, but unfortunately it didn’t make it into the show in my bit about how SOAP is going to be a hot movie this summer.

Have you SEEN the track listing? It reads like an emo-pop-punk super-album:

1. Cobra Starship (with The Academy Is…, Gym Class Heroes and The Sounds) - “Snakes On A Plane (Bring It)”
2. Panic! at the Disco - “The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage” (Tommie Sunshine Brooklyn Fire Remix)
3. The Academy Is… - “Black Mamba” (Teddybears Remix)
4. Cee Lo Green - “Ophidiophobia” 5. All-American Rejects - “Can’t Take It” (El Camino Prom Wagon Mix)
6. The Sounds - “Queen Of Apology” (Patrick Stump Remix)
7. Fall Out Boy - “Of All The Gin Joints In All The World” (Tommie Sunshine’s Brooklyn Fire Retouch)
8. Gym Class Heroes - “New Friend Request” (Hi-Tek Remix)
9. The Bronx - “Around The Horn” (Louis XIV Remix)
10. Armor For Sleep - “Remember To Feel Real” (Machine Shop Remix)
11. The Hush Sound - “Wine Red” (Tommie Sunshine’s Brooklyn Fire Retouch)
12. Jack’s Mannequin – “Bruised” (Remix)
13. Coheed & Cambria - “Wake Up” (Acoustic)
14. Donavon Frankenreiter - “Lovely Day”
15. Michael Franti & Spearhead - “Hey Now Now”
16. Trevor Rabin - “Snakes On A Plane - The Theme” (Score)

I bolded the tracks that are ESPECIALLY hot. Of course you know the Cobra Starship song by now, but let me tell you, the remix that Patrick Stump did on “Queen of Apology” by The Sounds is SO FLY. He totally changes up the vibe of the tune by laying a funky-fresh hip-hop beat and slowing down the vocals on it. I love it so much.

Another case of making a good song even BETTER is the Louis XIV remix of The Bronx’s “Around the Horn”. I HATE that it’s Louis XIV, because I took some mild offense to some of the lyrics off their debut album (hellooo misogyny!) but I cannot deny how fan-f***ing-tastic that remix track is. It’s pure rock, and every time I listen to it I want to dance around and whip my head around hair-metal style.

The other track I want to highlight is Tommy Sunshine’s remix of The Hush Sound’s “Wine Red”. The mix of the angelic-sounding vocals of Greta Salpeter mixed with the uptempo beats layed down by Sunshine are the perfect mix of sweet and sass.

Oh and need I mention that the brilliant Swedish group Teddybears remixed The Academy Is…? So. Best.

Basically there isn’t one dud on this soundtrack. I’ve already played about 3 of the songs off this album during DJ sets I’ve done in the last few weeks. I LOVE this album so much. Get your copy when it drops on August 15th! You will be rocking out to it all year long, I promise you!
