Album Notes Compilation producer: Desiree Craig-Ramos. The soundtrack to the goofy slapstick film starring Ben Stiller as a model-turned-secret agent is effectively several albums at once. Half the disc finds contemporary artists reinventing various pop classics of the past, while the balance is made up original '80s tunes (Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," Herbie Hancock's "Rockit") and new songs by up-and-comers. Nikka Costa proves surprisingly incapable of carrying the relatively undemanding Blondie chestnut "Call Me," but No Doubt does a nice job of funking up Donna Summer's disco milestone "Love to Love You Baby." The Wallflowers' take on the Bee Gees' '60s gem "I Started a Joke" adds a touch of the Beatles' "Dear Prudence" to the arrangement. The aforementioned '80s staples sound as effervescent as ever, and filler courtesy of Orgy and Powerman 5000 fails to detract from the overall jubilance of ZOOLANDER. And yes, it's got that Fatboy Slim-sounding song from the car commercial where the models sing along (Wiseguys' "Start the Commotion").
