The latest Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan movie directed by Nora Ephron (Sleepless in Seattle) about two coworkers who hate each other at work and unknowingly fall in love on the Internet features an extremely eclectic soundtrack that's less technologically advanced than its movie's premise. There's no gratuitous raving or computer-buzzing techno, just pensive singer/songwriters and oldies that tug at the heartstrings. Louie Armstrong weighs in with "Dummy Song." Jimmy Durante pops up for "You Made Me Love You." Randy Newman's song for Frank Sinatra, "Lonely at the Top" (which Sinatra turned down), fits alongside Sinead O'Connor's spirited pass at Harry Nilsson's "I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City." The late Nilsson himself is represented by "The Puppy Song" and "Remember." Stevie Wonder's soul shouter "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)" pumps things up, while Roy Orbison's "Dream" has his trademark sense of mystery and despair. --Rob O'Connor
