"Get Over It" Soundtrack Lyrics

"Music From the Miramax Motion Picture Get Over It" Soundtrack Description

Overview

Can a breakup comedy open like a street musical and end like a pep rally? Get Over It does both. The soundtrack hinges on high-gloss pop and club picks (Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx, American Hi-Fi) while composer Steve Bartek threads light, playful score cues. It’s built for quick tonal pivots: prankish school-play rehearsals, house parties, hallway crushes, and a finale that turns the stage into a full-cast sing-along. Source: Variety

The album—issued by Island Records on March 13, 2001—packages marquee catalog with film-specific moments: Kirsten Dunst’s diegetic ballad “Dream of Me,” a finale cover of “September” performed by Sisqó & Vitamin C, and a cheeky nod to Captain & Tennille’s “Love Will Keep Us Together.” The film also leans on additional cues not on the album (Pizzaman, Nightmares on Wax, Pulp).

Notes & Trivia

• The album folds together mainstream radio names (Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx, Elvis Costello) with left-field picks (Badly Drawn Boy, Wondermints).
• Several tracks used in-film don’t appear on the retail album (e.g., Pizzaman’s “Happiness (The Eat Me Edit),” Nightmares on Wax “Morse,” Pulp’s “A Little Soul” remix). Source: Wikipedia
• Vitamin C’s single “The Itch” ties into the release campaign and appears on the DVD extras as a music video.
• The movie’s play-within-a-movie (“A Midsummer Night’s Rockin’ Eve”) licenses the finale as a full ensemble number, letting the cast sing and dance over credits.

Genres & Themes

Turn-of-the-millennium club-pop → teen spectacle. Big beat and Latin-house textures (Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx) track party set pieces and rehearsal chaos—confidence in four-on-the-floor.

’70s pop standards → irony & optimism. “Love Will Keep Us Together” frames heartbreak with a wink; “September” sends everyone out grinning—retro as social glue.

Indie pop & Brit-alt → vulnerability. Badly Drawn Boy and Elvis Costello color the quieter beats with wry tenderness—less neon, more nerves.

Music–Story Links

Vitamin C’s opening “Love Will Keep Us Together” turns a breakup into choreography—Berke’s humiliation becomes a singable spectacle. Kirsten Dunst’s “Dream of Me” flips the bit: the school musical stops winking and gets earnest, letting Berke actually listen. The big, smiling “September” credits fold rivals and friends into one crowd—Shakespeare’s pairs resolved, 70s horn lines blasting.
