Details
Jon Brion provided much of the music for the film. Although only one track ("Strings That Tie to You") features his singing (similar to the soundtrack for Punch-Drunk Love), his next soundtrack (for I ♥ Huckabees) would feature seven vocal songs.
The garage rock band The Willowz contributed two songs to the soundtrack, and would later contribute songs to director Michel Gondry's next film The Science of Sleep.
"Mr. Blue Sky" isn't featured in the film, but plays in the theatrical trailer and most advertising spots for the film.
Brion's song "Showtime" on this soundtrack should not be confused with the song "Showtime" he wrote for the film Magnolia.
Three filmi songs from old Hindi movies can be heard playing in the background. "Mera Man Tera Pyaasa" (My mind yearns for you) from the movie Gambler (1971) performed by Mohammed Rafi, "Tera Sang Pyaar Mein" (With you, in love) performed by Lata Mangeshkar, and "Wada Na Tod" (Break not the promise) by Lata Mangeshkar from the movie Dil Tujhko Diya (Gave my heart to you) (when Clementine invites Joel to her apartment for a drink). All the three songs are listed in the original soundtrack credits.

Famous quotes containing the word details:
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
