The Love Guru: Music from the Motion Picture
Lakeshore Records (6/17/08)
Soundtrack (Rock / Pop / Comedy)
Myers’ latest farce
every raga-like pop song
not by Harrison.
“Brimful of Asha”
Fatboy Slim as Norman Cook
’97 called.
Myers’ “More Than Words”
in-and-out Hindu accent
hurts surprising track.
“The Joker” also,
as well as his “9 to 5”
oddly entrancing.
But Celine Dion
doing “I Drove All Night”, well,
cannot be excused.
Middle tracks get hung
up on token rap and dance
cuts that are filler.
“Guru Vindaloo”
Hindu-dance funk, better thought
than execution.
Guru soundtrack is
so lightweight it would float if
dropped from a tall tree.
