==Music==
The score for ''Dumb and Dumber'' was composed by [[Todd Rundgren]], whom director Peter Farrelly would later say "did an awesome job" but "didn't quite get the movie." Rundgren also contributed the song ''[[Can We Still Be Friends?]]'' to the film.<ref>{{cite web |last=Interrobang Staff |title=How Potheads Saved "Dumb and Dumber" |url=https://theinterrobang.com/potheads-saved-dumb-and-dumber/ |website=The Interrobang |date=2014-11-12 |access-date=2025-05-31}}</ref>

The soundtrack album has generally seen positive reception from critics. Joe Bishop of ''[[Vice (magazine)|Vice]]'' named the album his favorite movie soundtrack, while the same site's Cameron Matthews described it as "a perfect slice of the mid-'90s sound: bubbly pop rock with jangly chords and just enough grit, or aka the thing you can give your kids when they one day ask you what the '90s were like".<ref name="vice d&d" /><ref name="vice d&d bishop">{{cite web |last1=Bishop |first1=Jeff |title=My Favorite Movie Soundtrack: 'Dumb And Dumber' |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/dumb-and-dumber/ |website=Vice |date=March 18, 2014 |access-date=10 December 2019 |archive-date=December 11, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191211010715/https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/rqazmr/dumb-and-dumber |url-status=live}}</ref>

Though not present on the soundtrack, the film famously features Carrey and Daniels singing an [[a cappella]] version of "[[Mockingbird (Inez & Charlie Foxx song)|Mockingbird]]" to Mike Starr's character.<ref name="vice d&d" /> Also missing on the soundtrack is [[Apache Indian (musician)|Apache Indian]]'s "[[Boom Shack-A-Lak]]", which accompanies the film's opening sequence, as well as several other songs appearing in the film. Songs not included on the soundtrack are "Red Right Hand" by [[Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds]], "The Rain, The Park and Other Things" by [[The Cowsills]], "[[Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm]]" by Crash Test Dummies, "[[Oh, Pretty Woman]]" by [[Roy Orbison]], "Can We Still Be Friends?" by [[Todd Rundgren]] and "Rollin' Down the Hill" by [[The Rembrandts]].

[[Beck]] had been approached about including his song "[[Loser (Beck song)|Loser]]" on the soundtrack, but he refused. He recalled the process: "I remember getting a phone call one day. My manager said, 'There's a film. They want to use 'Loser' as the theme song'. There was a long pause, and he said, 'The name of the film is ''Dumb And Dumber''. And I just remember: That sums up what the world thinks of me at this point. I tried to have fun with it, tried to not take it too serious. But at the same time, it was a little disheartening sometimes."<ref name="beck dumb and dumber">{{cite web |last1=Breihan |first1=Tom |title=Beck Discusses Failing To Get Aphex Twin To Produce Him In The '90s And Denying Dumb And Dumber "Loser" For Its Theme Song |url=https://www.stereogum.com/2065648/beck-discusses-failing-to-get-aphex-twin-to-produce-him-in-the-90s-and-denying-dumb-and-dumber-loser-for-its-theme-song/news/ |website=Stereogum |date=November 21, 2019 |access-date=10 December 2019 |archive-date=November 27, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191127235446/https://www.stereogum.com/2065648/beck-discusses-failing-to-get-aphex-twin-to-produce-him-in-the-90s-and-denying-dumb-and-dumber-loser-for-its-theme-song/news/ |url-status=live}}</ref>
