more great content for this list will be
ranking the most memorable and catchy
songs featured within the awesome mixes
found within the first two films in the
guardians of the galaxy franchise
furthermore they had to have been
featured on the respective films
accompanying soundtrack will be
discussing plot points from within the
movies so a spoiler alert is probably in
order number 10 my sweet lord George
Harrison
[Music]
there are more than a couple nods to
nurturing and creation when it comes to
the themes covered in guardians of the
galaxy volume 2 this is why George
Harrison’s My Sweet Lord fits so well
within the film’s narrative
[Music]
the X beetles relaxing an atmospheric
ode to Hinduism captures the wonder of
seeing planet ego for the first time
while also serving as an interesting
counterpoint to egos explanation to
Peter about how the living planet met
quills mother on earth and fell in love
[Music]
number nine the chained Fleetwood Mac
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
there’s a very simple and direct reason
why the chain from Fleetwood Mac works
so well within the guardians of the
galaxy franchise and it all has to do
with chemistry many comic book
adaptations attempt to establish an easy
rapport between their characters but
guardians is one of the few films where
that sentiments practically leaps from
the screen the chain is used to great
effect in guardians of the galaxy volume
2 to display exactly how tight these
heroes are with one another so much so
that not even the most harrowing of
situations can tear them apart
[Applause]
number eight I want you back the Jackson
5
[Music]
if groups break sacrifice at the climax
of the original guardians of the galaxy
brought us to tears then the review of
the reincarnated baby Groot at the
film’s end has us weeping for joy this
wasn’t just because a tiny tree monster
was so damn cute either but because of
the song playing on the soundtrack was
simply perfect I want you back by the
Jackson 5 is a classic slice of upbeat
soul goodness so it naturally made sense
for this to be the first song baby group
dances to behind the back of Drax the
destroyer it’s charming it’s adorable
and it makes us feel good all over every
time we watch
[Music]
number seven brandy you’re a fine girl
looking glass
[Music]
the second guardians of the galaxy film
opens up with a sunny look at the
courtship between ego the Living Planet
and Meredith quill as the soft rock of
lookingglass plays in the background a
[Music]
closer listen to the band’s hit brandy
you’re a fine girl reveals a bit more
however as the song discusses a waitress
who serves up drinks to sailors as they
wander in from elsewhere around the
world there’s a clear parallel to egos
propagation around the universe his
brief relationship with Meredith and the
story of lonely brandy and her missing
man it may be sad and somewhat
bittersweet but it’s also poignant and
insightful
[Applause]
number six Oh child five Stairsteps ooh
child things will get brighter soon too
these words
guardians of the galaxy fans can look at
this next song in two very different
ways on the surface Oh child by five
Stairsteps is the song star-lord sings
as he attempts a dance-off with Ronan
the accuser near the end of the first
film although it’s funny to watch quill
as he distracts Ronan long enough to
make a grab at the Infinity stone fans
can also look a bit deeper into Peter as
a character and think about how we might
connect with this song on another level
Oh child may serve as a source of
comfort for quill when he thinks about
his lost mother and how much he misses
her it’s a touching track which affects
both audience and character alike number
5 moonage daydream David Bowie
[Music]
sometimes a song just works the
guardians of the galaxy franchise is at
its heart a glorious space opera the
sort of film which can appeal to fans of
Star Wars Battlestar Galactica and more
that being said David Bowie’s moonage
daydream would have been the perfect
addition to almost any scene they
included in it however when quill and
his crew arrive at nowhere a psychedelic
sighting of a severed celestial head
looks just a bit freakier in the best
possible way when it’s set to one of
Bowie’s outer space jabs number four
father and son Cat Stevens
[Music]
Peter quill goes through a number of
revelations within the second guardians
of the galaxy film not only does he have
to contend with the knowledge that he’s
half celestial but he also has to deal
with ego the Living Planet first as
father then as adversary this is where
the cat Steven song father and son comes
in but not quite where you might think
instead it deals with quills feelings
for yondu as a surrogate father figure
and his struggle in coming to terms with
the on do sacrifice at the film’s climax
although both Peter and the audience
feel some sort of closure as yondu
receives a proper Ravager funeral this
song gives a whole relationship just
that much more meaning
[Music]
number three come and get your love
redbone this was the scene that kicked
off a franchise and to be honest can you
think of a better way to introduce Peter
Coyle the star-lord
[Music]
Chris Pratt shows off his dance moves as
he sets up his stealth mission on the
planet moron all set up to the smooth
and funky grooves of red bones come and
get your love the guardians franchise is
summed up quite well in this opening
scene of work Ian funny space saga with
charm despair charismatic leads and
perhaps most importantly a bitch and
soundtrack
[Music]
number two mr. blue sky electric light
orchestra the next song on our list is
similar to red bones come and get your
love in that it perfectly sets the stage
and tone for the film and its characters
although star-lord and his crew are set
up in the background engaged in the
fierce battle its baby Groot who gets
prime billing in the foreground as he
dances to mr. blue sky by Electric Light
Orchestra the combination of yellows
upbeat progressive rock baby groups
dance moves and the frenetic action
makes for a picture-perfect opening for
a fantastic guardian sequel
[Music]
before we name our most awesome song
here are a few honorable mentions
so don’t forget it
[Music]
number one hooked on a feeling blue
Swede loose we didn’t write hooked on a
feeling
nevertheless it’s a bear version which
has gone on to define the first
guardians of the galaxy film and not
just because it was used prominently in
the movies trailer instead it’s just how
loud brash and boisterous blue Swede get
with her hooked on a feeling which makes
it a perfect fit for a ragtag group of
heroes
[Music]
whether it’s that lovably obnoxious horn
section for the anthemic chant of yoga
Chaka blue Swedes hooked on a feeling is
one song which firmly belongs in the
guardians of the galaxy universe do you
