V/A – Jackass 3D Soundtrack


With a new movie comes a new soundtrack that runs the gamut with a selection of genres that’s as out there as the dudes that make up the Jackass collective and their exploits.

Opening the album is the operatic remix of the Jackass theme by NASA’s Squeak E. Clean, which is quickly followed by Weezer’s new single “Memories” and Yeah Yeah Yeah’s frontwoman Karen O’s twangy rendition of “If You’re Gonna Be Dumb, You Gotta Be Tough”.

Also included are classic punk cuts by the Smut Peddlers, Gang Green and Cock Sparrer alongside Twisted Sister’s “The Kids Are Back” and they bluesy “I’m Shakin’” by The Blasters. Melanie’s folk hit “Brand New Key” may seem out of place but it actually blends in nicely between Sassafras and the abovementioned Gang Green contributions. Rounding out this collection is the Jackass family band CKY with the song “Afterworld”.

When you add it all up, the Jackass soundtrack is about as much fun as the movie. So I guess it all depends on whether you are a fan or not.
Score: 7 out of 10
