All 26 Songs from The Other Guys Soundtrack

There are 26 songs on The Other Guys soundtrack but they did not release an album for the movie. However, you can find all 26 songs, plus the video and downloads from The Other Guys here. It’s an interesting mix, including three songs from TLC (Creep, No Scrubs and Waterfalls). That alone is worth it. Damn they were good in their day, before tragedy set in.

The rest of the soundtrack for The Other Guys is far from tragic, but it is downright eclectic. I love Goldfrapp and was pleasantly surprised to find Ooh La La in th movie. There’s soundtrack staple the Black Eyed Peas and Wyclef Jean (who strangely enough announced that he is running for president of Haiti this week). There’s also some Rage Against the Machine and The White Stripes as well as Mamas and the Papas and Donovan.

Want ballads? We have Against All Odds by Phil Collins. What about some hip hop? How ’bout Swizz Beatz. Feeling like a little taste of a different era? We’ve got Big Girls Don’t Cry. Twenty six songs and something for everyone. That’s about the only theme I could find in the mix. Maybe we should just boil it down describing the music from The Other Guys to a soundtrack mixed with songs designed to entertain in waining weeks of summer, like the movie itself.
