“The Love Guru” Soundtrack Loaded With Campy Tracks And Racist Bullshit

Deepak Chopra’s claims aside, Mike Myers’ upcoming The Love Guru looks like a disgusting, unfunny attempt to josh on the Maharishi, which might have at least made sense if the film was made 40 years ago or if this racist caricature was originally meant as a whimsical side note in a fourth Austin Powers movie. Multiple songs from the soundtrack are up on the movie’s MySpace page, so we can all yuk it up at Bollywoodized covers of “The Joker” and “9 To 5” (oh wow, sitars and funny accents!! Boing!!). Fans of The Apple should note that the composer of that film’s music, George S. Clinton, is responsible for the instrumental “Guru Vindaloo.” Justin Timberlake (seen above) doesn’t perform on the album, but Telma Hopkins of Dawn and Family Matters fame does.

1) Andrew Mendelson – Morning Meditation 2) Mike Myers – 9 To 5 3) Cornershop – Brimful Of Asha (Norman Cook Remix) 4) Mike Myers – Stop Hitting Yourself (dialog) 5) Mike Myers and Manu Narayan – More Than Words 6) Mike Myers – The Joker 7) Telma Hopkins and Toronto Children’s Concert Choir – Lead Me To Your Rock 8) B.A.S.K.O. – Big Boi 9) Robbie Nevil – C’est La Vie 10) Celine Dion – I Drove All Night 11) Mike Myers – My Name Is Guru Pitka (dialog) 12) Lata Mangeshkar and Mohd Rafi – Mere Mitwa Mere Meet Re 13) George S. Clinton – Guru Vindaloo 14) Danny Saber – Mathar 15) Mike Myers – Guru Lineage (dialog) 16) Guru Pitka’s Ashram Band – Guru Pitka Chant

Cornershop agreed to this? Where’s Panjabi MC?

Here’s a classic number from The Apple as a humble apology for bringing any of this to your attention.
