The American Recordings soundtrack offers the best in rock, punk and hip-hop endemic to skater culture, kicking off with the single and music video for "We Want Fun," from acclaimed artist Andrew W.K. (and produced by the legendary Rick Rubin). The second single from the soundtrack is "Flesh Into Gear" from skater favorites CKY. In addition, the compilation features the classic Jackass theme song, "Corona" by the Minutemen, Slayer’s anthem "Reign in Blood," "Baby Got Back" from Sir Mix A Lot and many more. According to Rick Rubin, "Jackass has revolutionized extreme television and now will be taking it even further in movie theaters. The ‘jackass the movie’ soundtrack embodies and supports this extreme," says Rick Rubin.
Jackass ringleader Johnny Knoxville had great input on choosing the tracks for the soundtrack, which appear in the film as well. Knoxville and other Jackasses (Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Steve-O, Dave England, Ryan Dunn, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna, Preston Lacy, Ehren McGhehey) are featured in the "We Want Fun" video, directed by Jeff Tremaine (Director/Producer of "jackass the movie," and one of the Creators and Executive Producers of the television series).
