All 34 Songs from the Grown Ups Soundtrack

The Grown Ups soundtrack is all grown up indeed, featuring 34 songs ranging from AC/DC, Aerosmith and Bad Company to Fleetwood Mac, Journey and Cheap Trick. Oh yeah, there’s also Eddie Money and Paul McCartney. So basically it’s the music you were listening to in your yellow, striped Gremlin back in 1978. But man – how much do you miss that car?

The soundtrack album does a decent job of representing the music from the movie. It contains 16 of the 34 songs from Grown Ups. For those of you stomping the ground and throwing a little fit about 18 songs that are missing, don’t worry, we gathered them for you here as well, including all three songs from the J Geils Band featuring in the movie.  Check out the synth in this track. They don’t make them like they used to. Sometimes that’s good, sometimes not so much. You make the call.

Update: One of the songs that a lot of people asking about is the song playing during the basketball game at the end. It’s Every 1’s A Winner by Hot Chocolate.

Here’s the list of all of the songs in Grown Ups in the order that they appeared in the movie and with notes on the scenes they were in. Update: I’ve been able to identify most of the scenes that the songs were in, but there are about 5 or 6 songs that I think played in the background when they were out at the restaurant but I cannot be sure. They are marked as (unknown scene) below. What do you think: was Grown Ups more like a comedic version of the Expendables or crappier version of Daddy Day Care / Day Camp / DayQuil?
