"Keith Lemon: The Film (Music From & Inspired By)" – Album Guide to Tracks and Key Scenes

Overview

A bawdy celeb spoof needs a jukebox that can floor the gas and wink at the same time. Keith Lemon: The Film (2012) leans into a maximal, 2-CD compilation—Music From & Inspired By—packed with radio staples, cheeky throwbacks, cameo-led skits, and short score cues. The film itself runs a brisk ~85 minutes; the album sprawls past two hours with 50+ tracks, mixing dialogue bites, catalogue hits, and newly recorded gags.

The original score comes from Mark D. Todd, whose cues sit alongside the licensed cuts and a clutch of in-character shorts credited to Keith Lemon and cast. According to Official Charts and retail metadata, Sony Music issued the set in the UK; it even made brief chart appearances on the compilations and soundtrack tallies.

Notes & Trivia

• The album is expansive: 2 hours+ of material including sketches (“I’m Gonna Blow Me Beans,” “I’m Rich”) and dialogue snippets.
• Mark D. Todd’s score contribution is acknowledged in film and album credits; “Evil Steve’s Theme” is a named track.
• The compilation charted modestly in the UK (Compilations/Soundtrack lists) on Sony Music catalogue number 88725457282.
• Runtime of the feature: ~85 minutes; the soundtrack intentionally overshoots with “inspired by” cuts.

Genres & Themes

’80s/’90s pop-rock → Nostalgia as punchline: candy-coated riff bombs (“Cherry Pie”) sell Keith’s laddish bravado and the film’s knowingly tacky set-pieces.

Neo-soul & busker-pop → Scrappy hustle: “I Need A Dollar,” “Pencil Full of Lead” underscore try-hard montages and money gags.

Boy-band slow jam → Parody romance: “Freak Me” lands as a knowingly over-sincere seduction cue.

Score stings → Cartoon villainy: Mark D. Todd’s motifs (e.g., “Evil Steve’s Theme”) punctuate the baddie beats between chart tracks.

Tracks & Scenes

Timestamps are approximate within the ~85-min UK cut; placements reflect on-screen moments identified in plot/marketing plus the official album sequence. “Diegetic” = heard by characters.

“Cherry Pie” — Warrant
Where it plays: Early glam-cheese montage in party/club context (~00:10). Non-diegetic, quick-cut gags.
Why it matters: Announces the movie’s tone—brazen, glossy, and deliberately retro.

“I Need A Dollar” — Aloe Blacc
Where it plays: Hustle montage as Lemon chases cash/brand deals (~00:20). Non-diegetic.
Why it matters: A wry counter-narration for the “get rich quick” arc.

“Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)” — Haircut One Hundred
Where it plays: Fashion/pose-off beats during promo shenanigans (~00:25). Non-diegetic.
Why it matters: Eighties pep suits the goofy make-over energy.

“Pencil Full of Lead” — Paolo Nutini
Where it plays: City dash and “everything’s coming up Lemon” moment (~00:32). Non-diegetic.
Why it matters: Skiffle-swing lift to push momentum into mid-act.

“Freak Me” — Another Level
Where it plays: Over-sincere romance gag (~00:40). Non-diegetic / source crossfade.
Why it matters: Boy-band smoothness used as parody fuel.

“Dickhead” — Kate Nash
Where it plays: Needle-drop under an insult-driven joke (~00:46). Non-diegetic, punch-in/punch-out.
Why it matters: Lyric-as-caption; the title line lands the laugh.

“Especially for You” — Kelly Brook
Where it plays: Party stage duet with Keith (~00:58). Diegetic performance; crowd cutaways.
Why it matters: A knowingly kitsch slow-dance moment that the film later undercuts when the Lemon Phone fiasco erupts.

“When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going” — Billy Ocean
Where it plays: Pre-final push montage (~01:05). Non-diegetic.
Why it matters: Classic “we got this” cue for a very not-together hero.

“Evil Steve’s Theme” — Mark D. Todd
Where it plays: Villain beats around the warehouse/rescue (~01:10). Non-diegetic score cue.
Why it matters: Cartoony menace to bridge jokes into the action payoff.

“I’m Rich” — Keith Lemon
Where it plays: Brag-reel fantasy earlier in Act I (~00:15) and as a reprise tag. Non-diegetic/in-character.
Why it matters: Character POV in song form—self-mythin’ with a grin.

Dialogue/Sketch bites (“Bummed And Stabbed,” “Tisipiti,” “What the Hell”) — cast
Where they play: Transitional stings sprinkled between songs. Diegetic-style skits on album only / shortened in film.
Why it matters: Gives the disc the feel of a comedy LP rather than a straight VA set.

Trailer cue note: The UK trailer leans on high-energy pop-rock and quick skit buttons; see ID bIemgNIFKEM.

Music–Story Links

• Persona vs. plot: Chart hits underline Lemon’s gaudy self-image; when score stings arrive, the fantasy gives way to actual consequences.
• Diegetic show-time: The Kelly Brook duet plays sincerity straight—so the later gag (phone fiasco) can knock it down.
• Nostalgia engineering: ’80s/’90s picks signal the film’s tabloid-era parody as much as they soundtrack gags.

How It Was Made

Paul Angunawela directed from a script co-written with Leigh Francis. Mark D. Todd composed original music; compilation curation pulled in radio-friendly catalogue and new in-character bits for album flow. Retail credits and Discogs entries show Sony Music’s 2-disc issue with skits, cues, and headlining hits.
