Bravo Channel's Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is a huge hit, and that means it's time for the inevitable soundtrack. Featuring remixes and dance tracks selected by the show's "Fab 5" stars, it's a pretty sweet batch, with some unexpected surprises amid the usual hands-in-the-air house anthems. Beginning, of course, with Widelife (featuring Simone Denny) performing the show's theme song, "All Things (Just Keep Getting Better)," the mix stays energetic with ubiquitous dance floor hits like Junior Senior's "Move Your Feet." The first surprise comes courtesy of the Chemical Brothers, adding severe thump to Kylie Minogue's already addictive "Slow." But that's just a warm-up for the record's wackiest combo as producer Barry Harris wires Fischerspooner and Billy Squier together for an opposites-attract masterpiece. Elsewhere, Liz Phair and Elton John provide more acoustic touches, while brief snippets of dialogue from the Queer Guys themselves add bits of their now-familiar fey humor and urban insights.
