While seeing the movie may not be a must, listening to the soundtrack to No Strings Attached is. Featuring classics like "I Wanna Sex You Up" (Color Me Badd is timeless, really) and "Bossa Nova Baby (Viva Elvis)" by the King himself, this compilation showcases a variety of genres and periods.Speaking of periods (sorry, guys), the "period mix" Adam (Ashton Kutcher) makes Emma (Natalie Portman) is sheer genuis. Although only "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis actually made its way into the scene and onto the album, the tracks "I've Got the World on a String" (I don't think that's what Ol' Blue Eyes meant), "Red Red Wine" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday" (gross) are equally hilarious and appropriate for a mix of this nature. Take those tunes (and others not mentioned in the movie at the site below) into consideration if ever you find yourself living in a romantic comedy:

But the real shining stars of this soundtrack are the newbies. "Bang Bang Bang" by Mark Ronson & The Business Intl. and "Rock It" by Little Red set the Cali tone for the film; "I Will Let You Go" by Daniel Ahearn is the obvious choice for that moment of realization that you are in love and therefore, totally screwed; "Love Lost" by The Temper Trap just reiterates why they are effing amazing.
The reason I'd buy this soundtrack at all, however, is "99 Problems" by Hugo. Making a cameo as the entertainment at the local bar in the film, Hugo and his version of the notorious Rap song initally got a laugh before the audience quickly realized that it may just be the coolest cover ever.
