‘Powers’ Soundtrack Full of Remixes
The soundtrack for the movie “Austin Powers In Goldmember” will be full of remixed songs.
Dr. Dre remixed the Rolling Stones song “Miss You.” It also includes remixes of “Boys” by Britney Spears and rapper Jay-Z’s “Hard Knock Life” which has been remade by Dr. Evil. Paul Oakenfold’s “1975” is his loose interpretation of Walter Murphy & The Big Apple Band’s “A Fifth of Beethoven” from 1976. Susanna Hoffs does a version of “Alfie.”
Smash Mouth’s “Ain’t No Mystery” was written specifically for the soundtrack and the film’s co-star, Beyonce Knowles of Destiny’s Child, contributes “Work It Out.”
Only one song appears in its original version: “Shining Star” by Earth, Wind & Fire. The film’s producers thought the song was perfect as it is.
The soundtrack is due out July 16.
