He sees an ad in the newspaper and it catches his attention. About a man who becomes bored in his relationship. The song was released in the late seventies and has quite the backstory. His song was also featured in Dreamwork’s animation feature Shrek. The most memorable being “Hooked On A Feeling” a song which is still associated with Guardians of the Galaxy.Īnother popular Guardians tune is “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)” by Rupert Holmes. The band did release two albums full of cover versions of songs. Blue Swede, the Swedish rock band, was only active for two years until frontman Björn Skifs decided to go solo. The original song was written by Mark James, and performed by B.J. The song (and the franchise) is known for Ooga-Chaka. One of the most memorable songs from the first Guardians of the Galaxy was “Hooked On A Feeling” by Blue Swede. In “Go All The Way” you could really tell they did pick up cues from those bands. The Raspberries group drew inspiration from British Invasion bands like The Beatles and The Who. “Go All The Way” by the Raspberries is another classic Guardians power pop song that would be a surprising choice in most “superhero” films. Redbone’s song on this album is one of my personal favorites. Both Redbone and 10cc are seventies bands that really were forgotten about until they were skyrocketed back into pop culture. The song reached its peak on the Billboard chart making it to number five. “Come and Get Your Love” is a funk rock song with energizing beats. The next song we hear is from Redbone, a Native American rock group, while a now older Star-Lord is exploring. Even Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has said the song meant a lot to him while he was a teenager. The song would go on to top the UK charts for two weeks. The song was written by band members Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman. 10cc are an English rock band who had their greatest success in the 70’s. A young Peter Quill is waiting in the hospital listening to this song on his Walkman. The first song we hear in Guardians of the Galaxy is “I’m Not In Love” by 10cc. Which makes Guardians music its own distinctive genre. There is a specific sense of adventure that comes along with the music. The rock and soul music is from the 70’s and 80’s. The music is reflective of her life and the future adventures of her son Star-Lord. All of this helps elevate the movie above most Marvel films because it feels like it this movie actually has some kind of heart.In the first Guardians of the Galaxy film. It’s not just a fight for the galaxy, but a father-son battle where the son has every right to kick his father’s butt because he purposefully gave his mother cancer to kill her. At no point does it ever feel like the film loses sight of how it’s essentially a family comedy, especially in the last act when all of this interfamilial squabbling converges in the bombastic final battle. Peter is reunited with his genocidal father Ego the Living Planet (Kurt Russell), who really only wants him in order to take over the galaxy estranged and antagonistic sisters Gamora (Zoe Saldana) and Nebula (Karen Gillan) are forced to work through their problems and Yondu (Michael Rooker), cast out by the Ravagers because he broke the code by trafficking children, searches for a new family and finds one in the Guardians and of course the Guardians learning how to become a family. As I mentioned above, this movie is ultimately about family, and how dysfunctional they can be.
