Arrested Development may not be a musical per se, like Smash or Glee, but it’s certainly contributed its share of catchy, earworm-y tunes to the pop culture landscape. What Bluth supporter doesn’t know the chorus to “It Ain’t Easy Being White” from Franklin Comes Alive? Or immediately think of Mark Cherry’s “Getaway” when they see the word “getaway”?
In that light, it shouldn’t be so surprising that the beloved sitcom is putting out a soundtrack, or that there are a whopping 42 tracks on it. To be sure, not all of them are full-length songs (the shortest is the 15-second “Mock Trial”), but collectively, they’re an entertaining reminder of the great work that composer David Schwartz has done on the series. Hit the jump for the full track listing.
Film Music Reporter (via The Playlist) picked up the details. The compilation consists of tunes from all four seasons of the show, with extended editions of certain songs (“Balls in the Air,” “Shot By Love,” “Getaway”). Appropriately enough, the album opens with that jaunty opening title and closes with Lucy Schwartz’s “Boomerang,” which played over the end credits of the Season 4 finale.
