The Funkalicious Boogie Soundtrack


Even if I might not be completely charmed by Boogie's quirky dancing gameplay, I cannot help but be swayed by the soundtrack listing, which contains some of my favorite songs from the past 40 years. Brick House on the same soundtrack with Kung Fu Fighting and U Can't Touch This? Am I dreaming? Oh no, wait. Fergalicious and Mambo Number 5 have also made the cut, throwing me into no small amount of inner turmoil. There are three Jackson Five songs on the list, but they're the good Jackson Five songs so that's okay. Then there's the whole Love Rollercoaster thing, where on one hand it is one of my all-time favorites but it's the Red Hot Chili Peppers version. *sighs* Hit the jump for the full track listing and start battling with your own sense of taste and style today!
