![]() If you laugh long and hard at South Park, you'll love it, but rest assured that it doesn't obscure Poledouris' music to any great detriment.Īlthough the music tries to remain upbeat, the more sinister tones creep in more and more often, mixing effortlessly throughout It's Been a Crazy Day and Flea Market Suite. I'm not usually one to support the use of dialogue on soundtracks, but Waters' dialogue is so amusingly foul mouthed (I'm surprised there was no 'explicit lyrics/dialogue' sticker on the front of my copy) that I couldn't help but chuckle. Morning Suite continues the mood for a while, but soon starts raining on the idyllic parade with some hilariously gratuitous dialogue clips. Basil Poledouris' response is a score that certainly starts with a very sweet natured in the bouncy Main Title, a jaunty amalgam of Jerry Goldsmith's suburban music for Joe Dante and just about any comedy score tune ever penned by Alan Silvestri, James Newton Howard, Marc Shaiman or James Horner. I wonder if this would have been the result had John Waters made American Beauty, a satire on modern American suburban bliss and the potentially psychotic underbelly it can inspire.
