Top Videos Brothers is accompanied by a unique soundtrack that perfectly matches its own quirky story. The film, directed by Max Barbakow (Palm Springs) and starring Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), Josh Brolin (Avengers),Glenn Close (Dangerous Connections) and more, it’s a buddy road trip and a heist crime comedy all in one. Naturally, this would require an equally interesting mix of tunes to set the mood – from artists like Jane’s Addiction and Poison to the Hal Leonard Jazz Band and Señor Soul. The different songs from Brothers the soundtrack easily brought the outrageous comedy to life.
Brothers follows two twin brothers who have been partners in crime since they were children. However, as adults, one was sent to prison while the other did everything he could to start from scratch (getting married, buying a house and preparing to have a child). Everything falls apart for the last brother, Moke, when the first, Jady, is released from prison on the condition that he deliver a set of precious emeralds to the dishonest judge who granted his parole. Brothers‘, by Rupert Gregson-Williams, takes the story forward, but the various mainstream pop, jazz and rock numbers selected for the film take this even further.

When all the songs from the brothers’ soundtrack play in the film
Sharing the brothers’ songs
“Got Caught Stealing” by Jane’s Addiction – There couldn’t be a better song to get the ball rolling Brothers than “Been Caught Stealing” from Jane’s Addiction. This number plays during the opening credits, shown over a montage of newspaper clippings showing Jady and Moke’s crimes over the years following their mother’s dramatic escape with the troubled emeralds.
“Shepherding in the Grass” by Hugh Masekela – Another song appropriate for the moment, “Grazing in the Grass” by Hugh Masekela, can be heard while Jady smokes weed with Moke’s brother-in-law during Abby’s baby shower. The song continues as the twins fight in the front yard while Abby douses them with a hose.
“Don’t Put Your Fun Trip on Me” by Señor Soul – Brothers is a road trip comedy at its core, so the film needed a great song to play as Moke and Jady begin their “end” adventure together. “Don’t Lay Your Funky Trip on Me” by Señor Soul was another perfect match, as Moke was less than enthusiastic about taking this trip with his brother, as demonstrated by his lie to his wife about where they were going. were going and what they were doing. This number kept playing on the car radio while the twins discussed life and poetry.
“Every rose has its thorn” by Poison – After Moke and Jady are reunited with their mother, Cath, the three go to the bar to talk about the matter. As they do so, a woman can be heard singing Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” in karaoke. Then, the official version of the song begins as Cath tells the story of what happened to her old boyfriend, who swallowed the emeralds just before he died.

“Stumblin’ In” by Chris Norman and Suzi Quatro – After Moke, Jady, and Cath talked about their differences (mostly), the three decided there was nothing to do but get ridiculously drunk and momentarily forget their differences. After a few endless margaritas, even Moke was able to relax with her mom. The trio ends up singing the song “Stumblin’ In” by Chris Norman and Suzi Quatro at karaoke.
“Não Adianta” by Trio Mocotó – It was no big surprise that Cath betrayed Moke and Jady after they were captured by parole officer Farful (Brendan Fraser), but it certainly left the twins in trouble. The zippers restricted their hands, so even after they managed to knock Farful unconscious and push him out of the car, they were still unable to drive independently. Then, Jady sat with her back on Moke’s lap, allowing them to drive the car (awkwardly) together. As they awkwardly walked away, the song “Não Adianta” by Trio Mocotó played.
“Joy to the World” by Hal Leonard Jazz Band – After Cath exchanged some of the emeralds for a bag of $4 million, Smoke and Jady chased her through a mall to retrieve their share of the loot. Although this chase began as a family affair, the dynamic changed significantly when Farful showed up and started shooting. The moment he fired the first shot, the song “Joy to the World” by the Hal Leonard Jazz Band began to play – quite a cheerful tune to accompany so much destruction.
“Blue Bayou” by Roy Orbison – Cath turned herself in and Moke and Jady escaped with the $4 million, which they split into two parts. Although this should have set them up for life, Moke used all of his $2 million to buy back Jady’s fingerprint-covered gun, which was in Judge Farful’s possession. When Moke left the judge’s house with the gun (but not the $2 million), he uttered some scathing words about how much time the old man had left to spend that money or sort out his relationship with his son. Roy Orbison’s song “Blue Bayou” played while he did this.
“For a Moment” by Lee Hazlewood – At the end of Brothers Moke and Jady get into the former’s minivan with their newly acquired emeralds. Jady’s narration ends the story, transitioning the film to the credits. As this happens, the intro to Lee Hazlewood’s “For One Moment” can be heard.
