SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 1:52 Min.
It’s the thirteenth track off 1998’s initial Wedding Singer movie soundtrack. Performed in character by star Adam Sandler, the track includes a dialogue clip intro by Sandler’s ‘Robbie Hart.’ There’s a fast dialogue reply afterwards by co-star Drew Barrymore’s ‘Julia Sullivan.’ Sandler collaborated with Tim Herlihy to co-write the song.
REVIEW:
As Sandler’s ‘Robbie Hart’ acknowledges, his supposed song (i.e. the melody) is reminiscent of The Cure. Not surprisingly, Sandler’s vocal talents are wasted on this material that falls far short of good taste.
Considering how the profanity-laced lyrics spells out the title’s suicidal rant after a romantic rejection, one is hard-pressed to find this parody remotely amusing. The dreadful “Somebody Kill Me” will likely appeal only to Sandler’s perpetual fanbase.
