The Odd Couple: Weekend Lagniappe



If you've seen Neil Simon's classic 1968 comedy more than once, you will want this. Never before released on CD, here is the bizarre, but wonderful soundtrack to "The Odd Couple," on Dot Records, featuring one of Neal Hefti's most memorable scores, interspersed with hilarious dialogue that for some reason has canned laughter behind it.

That song that you hum or sometimes whistle for days after seeing the movie, or watching the TV reruns...it's called "Tomatoes."

Wow, nice weekend surprise! One of my favorite Neil Simon comedies, among others of course.

Great Ladies zip! The Neil Finn and the Swag songs are outstanding.

For the future, with all due respect, and God love them, no more Dylan and Springsteen. I know you could dig deeper.

Thanks for the lagniappe (forgot the g).

Have a nice weekend, Murray, Speed, Roy, Vinny, Oscar, Felix and Frank

Glad you dig it, Frank. And thanks for pointing out the typo.

As for Bruce and Dylan...I promise nothing. (Come on! It's Bruce and Dylan.)
