Pineapple Express is a 2008 soundtrack - Album of the US film Pineapple Express . It contains almost exclusively songs from the 1980s and 1990s, the only exceptions being the title song played by Huey Lewis & the News and two instrumental pieces composed by Graeme Revell .
reception
James Christopher Monger wrote for allmusic that the theme song was "a return to the sports era" by Huey Lewis & the News and reflected the " bluesy , saxophone-driven backbeat" of The Heart of Rock & Roll and I Want a New Drug . It is “by no means a bad song”, but the “lack of a memorable chorus” and the integration of a sound sample by the actor Seth Rogen while smoking weed left “the impression of a parody.” The title track was followed by “a fairly lively collection of completely different titles for someone so arbitrary constructed film. "

Individual evidence
- ↑ "" Pineapple Express "(the song) is a throwback to Sports-era Lewis, mirroring the bluesy, sax-driven backbeat of" Heart of Rock and Roll "and" I Want a New Drug. " It's not a bad tune at all, but the lack of a memorable chorus and the inclusion of a sample of actor Seth Rogen taking bong hits keep things squarely in the parody camp. What follows is a fairly pedestrian collection of disparate tracks for such a deliberately constructed "weed" movie " Review at allmusic.com, accessed on May 28, 2016
