Cool, I always like Shaiman. The break-in cue from this is classic Shaiman.

I (still) just wish George Of The Jungle got a proper release one day.

I like Shaiman so I'm up for this without seeing the movie.

Count me as one of the lame-o's more excited about this than Scarface razz. Shaiman, especially Shaiman in the 90s, is always great.

Well, First Wives Club was the bigger hit... (I assume these figures are only the domestic totals.) $181 million (around $333 million today) to
Scarface's $66 million (in 1983 dollars). (about $191 million today) Although Bette Midler fan Mark Kermode has to admit the Oliver Stone movie left more of a cultural footprint.
Well,

Superb! I love Shaiman and LLL's previous Shaiman CDs like Speechless and Addams Family are great. Will definitely be picking this new one up.

In all my years I have never received my CD order quicker than this one! Hit PAY ORDER around Noon yesterday and "The First Wives Club" was in my mailbox 25 hours later! Awesome thank you to everyone at La-La Land...and especially the Shipping Department!

Before anyone panics, I live about 15 minutes away from where it was shipped. It didn't have many miles to travel.
