Does anyone know the song?


Does anyone know the name of the song or artist to which everyone dances in the night club? It's the song that makes the little kissy noises?

reply

This song is by the Turkish megastar Tarkan. The song is Simarik on the self-named album Tarkan released in 2000 in the USA. You can find this album in most Borders stores in the Middle East section in the international music of their music and video department, or at Amazon.com.

What about the song that the troops are marching to at one point in the film? It is sung in english and has a distinctive beat, but I'm not familiar as to who sings it.

reply

I think at one point they're marching to a Neil Young song, but I'd have to look at the credits again to get the name

'Safeway Cart', by Neil Young (or so I'm told).
