Americathon OST - Various - 1979






This is the soundtrack to the film of the same name which I first saw at a drive-in theatre when it first came out in 1979. I remember the film itself was kind of loopy but the music really rocked. At The time of its release, this original motion picture soundtrack was worthy 'cause of the Nick Lowe and Elvis Costello songs, but also noteworthy was one Eddie Money song ("Get A Move On") co-written with Paul Collins, featuring Paul (guitar & vocals) and produced by Bruce Botnick.

This outrageous farce (based on a play by Firesign Theatre alumni Philip Proctor and Peter Bergman) features cameos from Elvis Costello, Jay Leno, Meat Loaf and the Del Rubio Triplets, and is narrated by George Carlin. The Beach Boys contribute to the musical soundtrack.
