The 2d cinema ’s premix include more rock music , including from the seventies , and several of the songs are n’t really well known . There ’s a reasonableness for that . In an interview withRolling Stone , Gunn said many of the songs are personal favorites from his childhood , including “ Lake Shore Drive ” by Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah ( a regional hit from the Chicagoland country ) , while others were isolated ace suggested by fans ( like Silver ’s only attain Sung dynasty ) . Gunn said most of the songs were selected to serve specific scenes or character — for lesson , he added “ My Sweet Lord ” by George Harrison to relate to Star - Lord ’s father , Ego .
We already know about a few of the songs from their use in previous drone , like “ Fox on the footrace ” by Sweet ( which is n’t in reality in the motion-picture show ) , but some of the others are pleasant surprises . For lesson , I ’m always happy to see some Electric Light Orchestra theatrical , even if “ Mr. Blue Sky ” is n’t my favorite birdcall of theirs ( though it ’s one of Gunn ’s ) . Surprisingly , David Bowie ’s “ Suffragette City ” is n’t on the play list , even though it was featured in one of the trailers . It ’s specially far-famed since Bowie was on the first film ’s soundtrack . In fact , none of the artists from the first soundtrack are on the 2d one . That ’s probable on intention .
However , the biggest surprise has to be the terminal song on the mixing : “ Guardians Inferno ” by The Sneepers … featuring David Hasselhoff . Gunn aver this is an original vocal for the celluloid , co - written by Gunn and score composer Tyler Bates . He called it the Guardians ’ translation of Meco ’s disco music Star Wars theme , and said they recruited Hasselhoff for it because he ’s one of Peter Quill ’s childhood icons . The Sneepers are a race of stranger in the Marvel universe , but it ’s unclear whether they ’ll actually be in the moving-picture show or if it ’s just an Easter egg reference for Marvel lover . The soundtrack fall out on Friday . Here ’s the leaning typecast out .
