For some odd reason, the band's "The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead" is on the album instead. Of course, the song that kinda sorta stole the whole movie was Crash Test Dummies' "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm", but its not on the soundtrack album. Which begs the musical question, How on Earth Was That Song Not On The Soundtrack?! This last viewing of the flick led me to dig out the soundtrack CD and take a long and winding trip down memory lane. It's like an injection of caffeinated adrenaline.īut enough about the Gigolo Aunts. My honest answer is that I've played the song a gazillion times in my car, not to mention the times I've seen the movie, so the fact that every time I watch that scene, when the song kicks in, my heart rate goes up. Would I have wound up feeling that way about "Where I Find My Heaven" had it met with that same success? Good question. When we hear it now, we can't quite remember what all the fuss was about.

But we'd wind up hearing the song so much in such a short period of time that it lost its mystery. Remember the first time you heard Fastball's "The Way"? It was one of those songs you heard once and immediately bought the CD.

I remember thinking that this was a band that I was gonna go out and buy the album right away but ultimately kind of lose to the world because they're music winds up being everywhere.
