Fun time capsule, so many bad goatees!

So I Married an Axe Murderer 1993
Completely subjective 5 stars, I just love this movie.
Something only I care about: both the original version of There She Goes is in this movie AND a cover of it, with one of them being the opening credits score, and neither of them are on the official soundtrack. I just don’t understand how that happens, and the financial details of the residuals would tie my brain in a knot.
