Sandler's 'Wedding' sings catchy old tune

The movie takes place in 1985, but the music contained within it is mostly early '80s new wave. This collection is refreshing, though, because it's not the same old '80s songs you hear on the radio's flashback hour.

Upon throwing the disc into your player, you're magically transformed into a youngster again. While listening to the Psychedelic Furs, I think of putting those parachute pants back on. As Billy Idol tells us what a nice day it is for a "White Wedding," I'm looking for the girl in my class with the big hair and the leg warmers. Is it all coming back to you?

Listen to the Police and the Smiths. You'll be searching for your dog collar, sleeveless t-shirt and blue-colored hair spray. Culture Club, David Bowie, the Thompson Twins.This is when music was fun, when MTV actually played videos!

	The Wedding Singer Maverick 3 1/2 stars Reviewed by Daily Arts Writer Colin Bartos

Besides all this '80s madness, you get a silly new Adam Sandler song and Ellen Dow, the old lady from the movie, joining the Sugarhill Gang for their hip-hop classic "Rapper's Delight." Plus, the Presidents of the United States of America do a cover of the Buggles' "Video Killed The Radio Star," and it's the first time PUSA hasn't sucked.

Although you probably won't ask anyone to sing these treasures at your wedding, you can sing along anytime. So grab your Pogo Ball and get hoppin' and pick up this great collection. You're not getting any younger without it.
