Does anyone know the singer or even the title of the song? I know the song has to be Arabic, or something middleeastern (possibly a Lebanese singer).

I have the Movie Soundtrack CD, but it's not there (the chase scene background music)...

Can anyone shed some light here? :)

I hate that too. I felt terrible when Bauhaus' Bela Lugosi's Dead was omitted from The Hunger soundtrack (which was hard enough to buy at the time).

This place has a song omitted from the soundtrack available for download.

Sounds like the one you want.

The omission of this song from the 5E Soundtrack CD really annoyed me, cause it was one of my favorite songs from the movie (The police chase). By shear luck I found the song. Here it is "Alech Tradi" by Khaled..."

Khaled's music is nice. Good Algerian melodies. :)

I don't know why everbody hated that movie (except the ones who responded here). It might not have had the most intricate plot or anything like that, but it sure as hell was fun.

ooh, thanks so much, dennilfloss! that is too awesome! :D
the website has a wav file for download... but, now that i have the name of the artist... and the song, it's easier to search for it!

thanks again! wheeeeeeee!

btw, there are folks who actually don't like this movie?! why? it's a pretty good film -- good storyline, great acting, music, etc... what more can you ask for?

anyway, i don't wanna dwell away into other topics... getting the music title was way cool! :)

Hated this movie? I loved it! It did do just 63 million here in the USA but it did 200 million overseas. Most of Willis's films do better in Europe that here for some reason. Guess he's real popular in foreign countries.

I just bought the Khaled CD!! Hehehe, I listened to the other songs (samples) and they were cool too...:D

Thanks to WombatWoman for that link! :)

Here's what I got:

Oh yeah, WW got the translation (of the lyrics) too! Take a lookie:

I'm going mad from her changing moods
From emptimess and blame for times gone by
The past is gone, what's done is done
And joy is still there for the taking
You are in my blood, my secret heart...
Trust in God, have faith, and let's begin again
