Disney's An Extremely Goofy Movie Dance Party! (2000 Film)  (Audio CD) 
by Various Artists - Soundtracks

Who would have thunk Goofy had such hipness in him? Probably the least funkiest or hippest 'toon in the Disney universe, he's not only gotten his own movie, he can also claim this hot soundtrack! Retro rules the day on An Extremely Goofy Movie Dance Party, with commanding remakes of "Shake Your Groove Thing" (performed by Peaches and Herb), "Right Back Where We Started From" (done by teen group Cleopatra), and a host of other older songs from a studio session band that revisits "Knock on Wood," "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing," and "Nowhere to Run." Pat Benatar, a staple of '70s and '80s radio, returns for a remake of "Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Glasses," a cynical nod to tomorrow, and England's ska masters the Specials pump up the jam on the old Toots and the Maytals classic "Pressure Drop." Even the soundtrack's X Games themes have their moments. Closing with the Partridge Family's "Come On Get Happy," the disc finally gives away its well-conceived marketing strategy: appeal to the parents who grew up in this musical period and they'll show their kids what a boogiemeister old Goofy really is. --Martin Keller
