The 40 Year-Old Virgin soundtrack details and clips

With a sly wink, the CD soundtrack chronicles Andy’s escapades with songs from Smokey Robinson’s “Virgin Man” to Survivor’s “The Search Is Over.”  Michael McDonald’s “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” Lionel Richie’s “Hello” and Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman” are turned into shameless anthems for our beleaguered hero. Guilty pleasures such as JoBoxer’s enthusiastic “Just Got Lucky” and Dr. Hook’s strangely antiseptic delivery of “Sharing The Night Together” have never ...more

We have added details and a few audio clips from the soundtrack to forthcoming comedy, The 40 Year-Old Virgin.

40 year-old Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) has done quite a few things in his life.  He’s got a cushy job stamping invoices at an electronics superstore, a nice apartment with a proud collection of action figures and comic books, good friends, a nice attitude.  But there’s just one little thing he hasn’t quite gotten around to doing yet – something most people have done by his age.  Done a lot.  Andy’s never, ever, ever had sex – not even by accident.  So is that such a big deal?

Well, for Andy’s buds at the store, it sure is.  Although they think he’s a bit of an oddball, there’s certainly a planetful of stranger (and homelier) guys who’ve at least had one go at having a go.  They consider it their duty to at least help Andy out of his dire situation and go to great lengths to help him.  But nothing proves effective enough to lure their friend out of lifelong chastity until he meets Trish (Catherine Keener), a 40 year-old mother of three.  Andy’s friends are psyched by the possibility that “it” may finally happen…until they hear that Andy and Trish have begun their relationship based on a mutual no-sex policy.

With a sly wink, the CD soundtrack from Shout! Factory chronicles Andy’s escapades with songs from Smokey Robinson’s “Virgin Man” to Survivor’s “The Search Is Over.”  Michael McDonald’s “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” Lionel Richie’s “Hello” and Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman” are turned into shameless anthems for our beleaguered hero. Guilty pleasures such as JoBoxer’s enthusiastic “Just Got Lucky” and Dr. Hook’s strangely antiseptic delivery of “Sharing The Night Together” have never before held such depth.  The real highlights on the album are the cast recordings of “Aquarius” and “The First Time,” calling upon the vocal talents of the comic ensemble cast that includes Paul Rudd, Romany Malco, Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Leslie Mann, Gary Bednob, Shelley Mailil and Chelsea Smith.

The soundtrack is available to pre-order via Amazon and Amazon UK.
