The Wedding Singer - Soundtrack

Soundtrack

Two soundtrack albums for The Wedding Singer, called The Wedding Singer and The Wedding Singer Volume 2, were released, both in 1998. The film contained many scenes of singing at weddings, with songs performed by the film's cast. The soundtrack albums, for the most part, contained the original versions of these songs instead, as well as songs that were in the background during the film, and original songs and dialogue from the film.
