It was clear from my first viewing of The Full Monty that this was a seriously funny film.
It was also apparent that writing an appropriate score was not going to be easy. An over-elaborate orchestral style would have swamped the humor and been incompatible with the large number of semi-camp '70s disco tracks. The style that we devised was a sort of hybrid ska/reggae with an acoustic guitar and prominent baritone sax. This, coupled with a tango style for the ballroom dancing fan, Gerald, formed the basis of the original music. It seemed to fit the slightly rough-and-ready characters of the story; you could almost imagine them playing it themselves. After all, no one believes these guys are ever going to turn into the most sophisticated dancers. To preserve the freshness, we tended to use the first takes of cues, before the musicians had a chance to make them too polished.
An unexpected bonus was getting to work with Tom Jones again. He swiftly made You Can Leave Your Hat On his own, combining his wicked sense of humor with a command of timing and rhythm that is unique.
