The romantic comedy 50 FIRST DATES finds Adam Sandler wooing Drew Barrymore in a tropical paradise. Accordingly, the soundtrack has a decided reggae bent, with pop-reggae artists Wayne Wonder and UB40 doing their thing, and even popsters like Jason Mraz getting into the island beat. The twist is that, in perhaps a subtle homage to the previous Sandler/Barrymore film THE WEDDING SINGER, almost all the songs are reggae versions of 1980s pop hits. While it may not be such a shock to find UB40 covering the Police ("Every Breath You Take"), it`s unlikely that anyone ever expected to hear Ziggy Marley crooning a reggae adaptation of the Cars hit "Drive" or ska-punks 311 adding a Caribbean lilt to the Cure ballad "Love Song." It`s not all reggae, though--Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath gets into an R&B groove on the Psychedelic Furs` "Ghost in You," and Elan Atias`s take on Bryan Ferry`s "Slave to Love" is pretty faithful to the original. In any case, nearly every track here offers a new slant on songs you thought you knew like the back of your hand.
