Music

Get ready for the Oscars with a treasure trove of tunes

The soundtracks to “American Hustle” and “The Wolf of Wall Street” are must-haves for any fan, but the track listings on each album only represent a selection of the music actually used in the film. If you’re looking for deluxe versions to accompany your themed Oscar party, look up these hidden treasures.

‘The Wolf of Wall Street’

Lambert, Hendricks & Ross: “Cloudburst”

In the movie, this frenetic 1959 jazz cut provided the accompaniment for a brief shot of a stockbroker and his girl du jour going at it in a bathroom — but it deserves revisiting in a less seedy context.

Devo: “Uncontrollable Urge”

Having used two Devo tracks in 1995’s “Casino,” director Martin Scorsese returned to the work of the new-wave pioneers for “The Wolf of Wall Street” and pulled out this herky-jerky gem.

Ian Dury & the Blockheads: “Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick”

The cocky swagger of the Blockheads’ 1978 hit single suits the early rise of Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio), and it’s also guaranteed to make any party rock.

Cypress Hill: “Insane in the Brain”

Another dance-floor mover — this one heard in the background of a giant house party being thrown by Belfort and his wasted buddies.

Foo Fighters: “Everlong”

One of Scorsese’s few bum notes with song selection was this classic from Dave Grohl & Co., which overpowered the movie. But it’s still one of the band’s best songs.

‘American Hustle’

David Bowie: The Jean Genie

One of the funniest moments in “American Hustle” is when Richie (Bradley Cooper) impersonates his straight-laced police captain (Louis CK) and it all goes down to the sound of Bowie at the height of his pomp.

The Temptations: “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone”

It’s only heard briefly midway through “American Hustle,” but that famous bass line is more than enough to heighten the tension as the movie’s plot thickens.

Ella Fitzgerald: “It’s De-Lovely”

As romance blossoms for Irving (Christian Bale) early in the film, it’s given an added touch of hope through Ella’s glorious voice as she sings this Cole Porter track.

Santana: “Evil Ways”

The allure of Jennifer Lawrence’s charming but slightly insane character, Rosalyn, is summed up perfectly with Santana’s sexy rhythms.

Steely Dan: “Dirty Work”

Fans of “The Sopranos” will know this 1972 ballad from when it was used in a scene featuring Tony Soprano driving, but it works just as well in “American Hustle.”
