Description: Thomas Newman wrote the original score as an eerie blend of orchestra and organ arrangements, while the music soundtrack contains a number of notable songs and several covers, including "Good Times", a duet between INXS and former Cold Chisel lead singer Jimmy Barnes which reached No. 2 on the Australian charts in early 1987. This cover version of a 1960s Australian hit by the Easybeats was originally recorded to promote the Australian Made tour of Australia in early 1987, headlined by INXS and Barnes. Tim Cappello's cover of The Call's "I Still Believe" was featured in the film as well as on the soundtrack. Cappello makes a small cameo appearance in the movie playing the song at the Santa Cruz boardwalk, with his saxophone and bodybuilder muscles on display. The soundtrack also features a cover version of The Doors' song "People are Strange" by Echo & the Bunnymen. The song as featured in the movie is an alternate, shortened version with a slightly different music arrangement. Lou Gramm, lead singer of Foreigner, also recorded "Lost in the Shadows" for the soundtrack, along with a video which featured clips from the film. The theme song, "Cry Little Sister", was originally recorded by Gerard McMahon (under his pseudonym Gerard McMann) for the soundtrack, and later re-released on his album "G Tom Mac" in 2000. In the film's sequel, "Cry Little Sister" was covered by a Seattle-based rock band, Aiden. Original Motion Picture Soundtrack "Good Times" by INXS and Jimmy Barnes – 3:49 (The Easybeats) "Lost in the Shadows (The Lost Boys)" by Lou Gramm – 6:17 "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" by Roger Daltrey – 6:09 (Elton John/Bernie Taupin) "Laying Down the Law" by INXS and Jimmy Barnes – 4:24 "People Are Strange" by Echo & the Bunnymen – 3:36 (The Doors) "Cry Little Sister (Theme from The Lost Boys)" by Gerard McMann – 4:46 "Power Play" by Eddie & the Tide – 3:57 "I Still Believe" by Tim Cappello – 3:42 (The Call) "Beauty Has Her Way" by Mummy Calls – 3:56 "To the Shock of Miss Louise" by Thomas Newman – 1:21 The soundtrack was first released on LP and cassette in 1987 by Atlantic Records This may be the best movie soundtrack of all time. The music found on this disk perfectly captures the feel of the movie. Really what is there to review? Just take a look at all of these 4 and 5 star ratings. If you have seen the film you will want to soundtrack if for nothing else than for the haunting "theme" of "Cry Little Sister" which will become a mainstay on all future Halloween mix CD's. Lou Gramm's "Lost in the Shadows" is as good as anything "Foreigner" ever put out and Gramm's vocals are top notch...seriously just try to listen to "Lost in the Shadows" once...it can't be done, you will be hitting rewind as soon as it begins to fade just to listen to it once more. "Beauty has her Way" and "I Still Believe" are both catchy and immediately take you right back to the late 80's with a sound that was unique to the time, but still sounds fresh today. Really there isn't a weak song on the album. Highly recommended and perfect for a warm, dark summer night.
