The "Earth Girls Are Easy" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1989) is a vibrant, neon-soaked time capsule of late-1980s pop, new wave, and alternative rock. Released by Warner Bros. Records to accompany the sci-fi musical comedy starring Geena Davis and Jeff Goldblum, the album is heavily shaped by legendary producer Nile Rodgers, who served as the film's music producer. The tracklist is an eclectic mix of mainstream hitmakers and alternative icons, featuring a unique Nile Rodgers remix of Depeche Mode’s "Route 66," a high-energy dance track from Information Society, and a driving contribution from The Jesus and Mary Chain. It also includes "Shake That Cosmic Thing" by The B-52s, a track that perfectly mirrors the movie's campy, retro-futuristic aesthetic.
The heart of the soundtrack belongs to comedian and actress Julie Brown, who co-wrote the film and performs three of the album’s most memorable tracks. Her campy novelty anthems, including "Brand New Girl" and the cult classic "'Cause I'm a Blonde," anchor the album's comedic, valley-girl tone. Balanced by smooth pop-rock from Hall & Oates and an instrumental piece by Stewart Copeland, the compilation seamlessly bridges mainstream pop with quirky subcultural sounds. Because it has never been widely reissued on digital streaming platforms, the soundtrack remains a highly sought-after collector's item for fans of vintage 80s vinyl, cassettes, and cinema memorabilia.
