Danny Elfman's Scrooged (ETR096)

Enjoy The Ride Records, in partnership with Paramount Pictures, proudly presents Music from the Motion Picture Scrooged, composed by Danny Elfman.High-spirited high jinks on Christmas Eve put Frank Cross (Bill Murray) in a ghostly time warp in this hilarious take-off of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Cross, who has made the meteoric rise from the depths of the mailroom to TV network president, is mean, nasty, uncaring, unforgiving, and has a sadistic sense of humor - perfect qualities for a modern-day Scrooge. Before the night is over, he’ll be visited by a maniacal New York cab driver from the past, a present-day fairy who’s into pratfalls, and finally, a ghoulish, seven-foot headless messenger from the future.Directed by Richard Donner (The Goonies, Lethal Weapon films, Tales From The Crypt), Scrooged is packed with a host of Hollywood veterans (Bobcat Goldthwait, David Johansen, Carol Kane, and more) in this iconic '80s holiday dramedy.The score is a real treat to revisit, as
