The Pineapple Express

Horns blasting, hilarious lyrics and a beat that chugs along like, oh yeah, you guessed it, an express train. This is what the title track off the soundtrack to the Seth Rogen-James Franco comedy Pineapple Express sounds like. Who had the honors (or, who honored the filmmakers, perhaps) of creating the fun, fast-paced "Pineapple Express"? None other than Huey Lewis and the News.

You can take a listen to the song over on the soudtrack's MySpace page (the song begins playing immediately, just FYI). Then you, too, can revel in these awesome lyrics:

"How'd we get into this mess?!
Pineapple Express!
Not used to this stress!"

My money says this song is used during a wacky montage in which the totally high duo tries to make a quick getaway in their car but of course, they're "not used to this stress" and their plan goes awry. This song sounds like it's perfect for the movie. Check it out on MySpace and tell me what you think.

We just got a couple new full-length trailers for movies that, if watching them in a sober state, are pretty much . . . OK. It makes me wonder if maybe — just maybe — they're supposed to be watched under the influence? I'm just speculating here.

After the jump you can find both trailers. Opening August 8, Pineapple Express actually features a pair of potheads — played by Seth Rogen and James Franco — who find themselves being chased by criminals. My favorite parts include Craig Robinson (Darryl on The Office), who's funny even without playing someone with the munchies.

We'd already gotten a tripped-out teaser trailer for Speed Racer, and the full-length trailer is a lot of the same: psychedelic visuals, bright candy colors, cartoon-y characters (since it's, you know, based on a cartoon). I'm more interested in this one because it's just mesmerizing, though I do have to wonder what it might be like to view this film in, shall we say, an enhanced state.
