Hot Fuzz: Music from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack album to the 2007 British crime-comedy film, Hot Fuzz. The album was released on February 19, 2007 in the United Kingdom, and on April 17, 2007 in the United States and Canada. The UK release contains 22 tracks, and the US/Canada release has 14.
The film's score is by British film composer David Arnold, who has scored the James Bond film series since 1997. Among Arnold's works featured on the soundtrack album is the "Hot Fuzz Suite", which is a compilation of excerpts from the score.
Other music from the film is a mix of 1960s and 1970s British rock (The Kinks, T.Rex, The Move, Sweet, The Troggs, Arthur Brown, Cozy Powell), new wave (Adam Ant, XTC) and indie UK and American rock (The Fratellis, Eels, Jon Spencer).
Fans who simply want the music may be disappointed, as dialogue by Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and various other cast members is interwoven into the music itself, rather than being on separate tracks.
The song selection also includes some police-themed titles, including Supergrass' "Caught by the Fuzz" as well as "Here Come the Fuzz", which was specially composed for the film by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. The film score also references and parodies the scores from action films, with the song "Lethal Fuzz", containing samples of the music used in promotional trailers for Lethal Weapon.
