The success of the Marlon Brando film “The Wild Ones” inspired a number of copy-cat motorcycle gang/hot rod movies such as the 1957 release, “Hot Rod Rumble.” The plot was of no importance. It was the drag-strip girls, the fast cars, and the final predictable winner of the big race that was most important. And of course, the music. The soundtrack is by Alexander Courage who is best known for writing the original “Star Trek” theme. The “Hot Rod Rumble” album, released on Liberty Records in 1957, is worth up to $150.00 today. “Hot Rod Rumble” is just one of the 10,000 soundtracks listed on our Soundtracks guide in Microsoft Word, covering movies, TV shows, and Broadway shows. It’s available in the left hand column.
