Composer Danny Elfman keeps the original MIB creative team intact, weighing in with a typically energetic orchestral score that dutifully ratchets up the suspense and punctuates the action. But it's a largely connect-the-dots exercise; aside from the deliciously loungy pair of Austin Powers-savvy bossa novas that bookend his work here (\"Worm Lounge #1 (Worms in Black),\" \"Worm Lounge #2\"), there's a sometimes uncomfortable lack of originality (let alone melodicism ) in much of what remains. The tense, workmanlike efficiency works fine with the film, but longtime fans may find this a decidedly McElfman listening experience. Still, the soundtrack ends on an a pair of appropriately goofy\/cheesy notes: Tim Blaney's gravel-voiced Frank the Pug crooning \"I Will Survive\" with grating canine fervor and the duet of Will Smith and Tra-Knox gettin' jiggy with the hip -hop\/Bond music hybrid \"Black Suits Comin' (Nod Ya Head).\" --Jerry McCulley\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 696998629523\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0696998629523\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43715302588675,"sku":"M8-W380-9SE0","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/41nvYA2nO_L.jpg?v=1675527507","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/men-in-black-ii","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
