Herbie Fully Loaded collects covers of '60s, '70s, and '80s songs by Disney artists and a handful of rock acts. Highlights include
Rooney's take on
T. Rex's "Metal Guru,"
the Donnas' "Roll on Down the Highway," and Caleigh Peters' "Fun, Fun, Fun." Though the movie's star,
Lindsay Lohan, doesn't contribute any new tracks, "First," the opening track from her album
Speak, also appears here. The soundtrack also includes a couple of other songs that aren't covers: Pilot's "Magic," which shows just how gloriously over-the-top '70s pop could be, and
Lionel Richie's "Hello."
The Blacksmoke Organisation's two pop collages made from bits and pieces of the old Herbie movies, "Herbie (Fully Loaded Remix)" and "Herbie vs Nascar," end up being album's most interesting moments. Fans of Herbie Fully Loaded will probably enjoy having this soundtrack as a musical souvenir of the movie. ~ Heather Phares
