Inspired by the Moon Zappa novelty hit of the early '80s, <I>Valley Girl</I> actually became a musical showcase for the dizzying array of styles that collided under the mantle of new wave. And though the movie didn't even have an initial soundtrack release, Rhino has more than made up for that shortcoming with two generous volumes. Deriving much of its inspiration from then-pioneering L.A. radio outlet KROQ's "Rock of the 80's" format, this second volume offers up a couple bona fide early MTV classics (Toni Basil's "Mickey," Culture Club's "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me"); nervy nouveau power pop (the Plimsouls' "Zero Hour"); upbeat U.K. R&B (the Jam's "A Town Called Malice"); rhythmic synth-pop ("In the Name of Love" by Thompson Twins); and, of course, a loopy dollop of the genre's unrequited love for novelty and sexual innuendo ("I Eat Cannibals" by Total Coelo, Sparks' "Eaten by the Monster of Love," and "Pocket Pool" by Killer Pussy). Can skinny ties be just around the corner--again? <I>--Jerry McCulley</I>

4 out of 5 stars Remember when music was fun?.......2000-11-07

More killer tunes from the vastly underrated film "Valley Girl." This cool collection effectively adds songs which were noticeably absent from the original soundtrack. In fact, this CD is worth the price of admission just for Sparks'classic romp "Eaten by the Monster of Love" and Bonnie Hayes' bouncy "Girls Like Me". Other notable artists included on this disc are the Plimsouls, the Jam and Jane Wiedlin. I'd recommend "More Music from the Soundtrack of Valley Girl" to anyone who longs for a return to a time when music was energetic and fun. (Unlike most of the mean-spirited garbage that stinks up the airwaves today.) Totally Trippindicular!!

4 out of 5 stars More Great Music from a Great Movie.......1999-04-19

The first Valley Girl soundtrack album was great, but notably missing three of the movie's best songs ("Girls Like Me", "Shelly's Boyfriend", and "Eaten by the Monster of Love"). This album fills that gap by including those three songs and others, but most of these songs have nothing to do with the film. Despite that, they are similar to those from Valley Girl, giving the disc a great thematic feel. As far as I know, this is the only available CD with "Eaten by the Monster of Love", possibly Sparks' best tune. Definitely worth the purchase.
