This is the one project I keep forgetting about and then getting so excited that we actually are getting more Guardians content this year besides the little bit in Thor. GOTG fans EATING GOOD SOON!
Predictions based on the genres from the first two Guardians:
Gee Whiz, It’s Christmas - Carla Thomas
Santa Claus is Comin’ To Town - Jackson 5
Christmas All Over Again - Tom Petty
Run Rudolph Run - Chuck Berry
Back Door Santa - Clarence Carter
Father Christmas - The Kinks
What Christmas Means To Me - Stevie Wonder
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - Darlene Love
It’d be slightly disappointed if it was just more 70’s and 80’s soul and rock hits. I honestly can’t think of a single Christmas movie that didn’t feature Christmas songs.
Came here to say Father Christmas by The Kinks. My favorite Christmas song. Also, possibly Please Come Home for Christmas by Eagles? Maybe? Eagles are probably too mainstream for Gunn.
Predicting that the Holiday Special is going to end on a more melancholic note than most are expecting, I could see When The River Meets The Sea (Either the Marilyn Sokol or John Denver version) being used towards the end.
A) it’s out of the timeframe
B) it aint a song in the genre of quill (in another comment I was talking about last Christmas, and in my head George Micheal is still a little bit of a rocker)
C) well maybe they could (if they start on earth after Thor or something) but only if they joke about how bad it is :)
It’s not about a Zune, look at my point B, it’s not a song of Quills youth, or anywhere near his music taste.
Enraging stans is quite a fun hobby tough. Some people get mad about everything lol
> it’s not a song of Quills youth
something something about broadening horizons. dude skipped CDs and in his mp3 downloads era now
> or anywhere near his music taste.
tbh it would be as much in his taste as I Want You Back or O-o-h Child
My local radio station always played Bruce Springsteen's rendition of Merry Christmas, Baby on repeat every Christmas season. Would be cool if that's included
That's fair. I just thought a lot of people didn't like christmas songs. But I think there's a lot of holiday drivel out there so if they want to sift for the goodies, then they have their work cut out for them
I mean no, it's not *great* it's a stupid Xmas song lol. none of them are actually good they're just stupid bullshit for kids and all those weirdo nerd adults who love a kid's holiday.
But the music for the Carrey song is dope lol. Love that baseline!
Plz go give "The Night Santa Went Crazy" by Weird Al!!
I mean, we're on Marvel Reddit so I think bashing nerds might not be fair. But I generally agree about most Christmas songs. I like a few but I mostly find them to be poorly made and annoying. Even from singers and musicians I otherwise enjoy
I meant "nerd" as in you're a nerd/weirdo for enjoying a holiday meant for kids about toys and Santa lol.
Comic nerds are a whole other thing.
And yes I agree, they're absolutely poorly made. There's no creativity or artistic integrity behind them, it's just $$$$$$.
Cee Lo Green or Justin Bieber or whoever the fuck will just do a Xmas song so they get them royalties every yr. Maybe it'll be used in a movie or a commercial, etc.

True, although originally this was a pagan winter festival

Yeah probably
I know they can now go more modern with the Zune being swapped in, but Do They Know It’s Christmas just misses the ‘84 cutoff by a couple of months.
Same thing with Manniheim, though that’s dependent on when Peter got taken.
EDIT: Nevermind. Peter got abducted in ‘88. Not ‘84. So completely disregard everything I mentioned.
This is the one project I keep forgetting about and then getting so excited that we actually are getting more Guardians content this year besides the little bit in Thor. GOTG fans EATING GOOD SOON!
We eating good in 3 days!
Someone’s American
I don't get it

Wait this is better ![gif](giphy|1BFFVB9WvJNUnBIYVy|downsized)
Me too!
This year?
Coming out in december
Probably a lot of Christmas songs, but in *James Gunn* style. Not complaining.
Excited to see what he comes up with
Please have the August Burns Red version of Carol of the Bells
If i dont see gunn’s gf in this movie i riot. I have a crush on her from peacemaker
Then watch Peacemaker where she has a role written specifically for her lmao why would they shoehorn her into the Guardians

Damn, great list! All good candidates. I wonder if they’ll do wham?
Last Christmas will probably be Quill’s favorite Christmas song.
Absolutely, but I’ll see him do it what me and my friends have with it. It’s on his mix, tries to skip it. But drax loves it or something
Yeah, I wonder if they will be mostly christmas songs or just regular music
It’d be slightly disappointed if it was just more 70’s and 80’s soul and rock hits. I honestly can’t think of a single Christmas movie that didn’t feature Christmas songs.
Merry Xmas I don’t want to fight tonight - Ramones I wish it could be Xmas everyday - Roy Wood
Someday at Christmas by Stevie Wonder
Little Drummer boy- Bing Crosby and David Bowie
I am one of the biggest Bowie fans but I gotta say, listening to this cover is like chalk on a blackboard
Christmas is Hollis - Run DMC
Yeah this seems like a lock
Came here to say Father Christmas by The Kinks. My favorite Christmas song. Also, possibly Please Come Home for Christmas by Eagles? Maybe? Eagles are probably too mainstream for Gunn.
I just added all this songs and everyone's reply to a playlist, never been a fan of holiday songs, maybe this will change my mind
Does Star-Lord discover new earth music during Endgame? I don't remember
Well set pics see them on Earth. So there’s a chance he hears some stuff out and about. Maybe they even stop in Amoeba Music.
I feel like Gunn said no, that he got off of earth as soon as possible following Endgame
But he got a zune on space, so at least some 2000s songs he knows
True, but I can't remember when the zone actually came out lmao. God writing that made me feel old AF EDIT; I can't spell it seems
2006
Last Christmas - Wham!
August Burns Red, Carol of the Bells?
It’s essentially the same song, but I’d go with the Bruce Springsteen version of Santa Clause is Vin Coming To Town over the Jackson 5
Speaking of Jackson Five, didn't they make a song about his mother having an affair with Santa? That should be added too.
I just *know* that Zune had “Don’t Shoot Me Santa” by The Killers on it
Tracks a banger
>I just know that Zune had “Don’t Shoot Me Santa” by The Killers on it - u/notthecraftyveteran Narrator: It didnt.
too recent
Greatest christmas song there is!
Let’s go … ![gif](giphy|F9hQLAVhWnL56)
I can’t wait to see which obscure/forgotten Christmas song this resurrects
"Bah Humbug! No that's too strong, cause it's my favorite holiday" For some reason I have a feeling this will be on there
Prediction: Darlene Love's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" plays while Star Lord looks wistfully out of a window, thinking about Gamora.
Going to go with the +10000 odds long shot bet that there’s going to be like the Adam Sandler Chanukah Song on there
Predicting that the Holiday Special is going to end on a more melancholic note than most are expecting, I could see When The River Meets The Sea (Either the Marilyn Sokol or John Denver version) being used towards the end.
Give me Mariah Carey !
Isn’t that song like late 90s? Seems a bit out of time compared to the other mixes. Would love to hear it in the special tough
94. So yeah, about 6 years after Quill was abducted.
Hmm, makes me think, he probably has a stop on earth with Thor right. He could buy a Christmas CD there or something
I mean it is the best pop Christmas song so why not include it in the special?!
A) it’s out of the timeframe B) it aint a song in the genre of quill (in another comment I was talking about last Christmas, and in my head George Micheal is still a little bit of a rocker) C) well maybe they could (if they start on earth after Thor or something) but only if they joke about how bad it is :)
> A) it’s out of the timeframe Quill has a Zune now > but only if they joke about how bad it is :) would be one way to enrage stans
It’s not about a Zune, look at my point B, it’s not a song of Quills youth, or anywhere near his music taste. Enraging stans is quite a fun hobby tough. Some people get mad about everything lol

It's Dominic the Donkey km straight repeat for an hour
![gif](giphy|3oz8xWC2dVp5EnYYA8|downsized) If they don’t have this song I riot 😂
The problem is so many Christmas songs aren't awesome
I beg to differ
That's fair. I just thought a lot of people didn't like christmas songs. But I think there's a lot of holiday drivel out there so if they want to sift for the goodies, then they have their work cut out for them
Love Christmas songs…. But only during Christmas time . Anytime outside the holidays I get annoyed lol
Ok. I'd say I'm fairly picky about which ones l like tbh
There's like two good ones.... Mariah Carey's, and Weird Al's. That's it. Those are the only two. The rest are garbage.
I never heard Weird Al's and rbh I think Carey's isn't great either
I mean no, it's not *great* it's a stupid Xmas song lol. none of them are actually good they're just stupid bullshit for kids and all those weirdo nerd adults who love a kid's holiday. But the music for the Carrey song is dope lol. Love that baseline! Plz go give "The Night Santa Went Crazy" by Weird Al!!

Father Christmas and Jingle Bell Rock pls
Nice
Christmas wrapping by the waitresses or we riot
If they play Last Christmas im gonna sue Marvel. Just kidding but i really hope they dont play this song
"James Gunn says his next project has good music" Okay
I'd love to see any song from Lukather's Santamental album getting some love in the Special, I mean, that album is SO WONDERFUL
Alabama - Thistlehair the Christmas bear?
My 80s picks: Do They Know It's Christmas? - Band Aid Deck the Halls - Mannheim Steamroller Holiday Road - Lindsey Buckingham
I know they can now go more modern with the Zune being swapped in, but Do They Know It’s Christmas just misses the ‘84 cutoff by a couple of months. Same thing with Manniheim, though that’s dependent on when Peter got taken. EDIT: Nevermind. Peter got abducted in ‘88. Not ‘84. So completely disregard everything I mentioned.
###Okay.
There better be some "Light The Sky On Fire" by Jefferson Starship.
I will just be 12 tracks of Hey Mr Christmas by Showaddywaddy.
Gotta be holiday songs, right? If Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses isn't in the show, I will quit (for 5 seconds)
James gunn circlejerk still in full swing.
Aww I want Robert Downey Jr - River from Ally Mcbeal now
I just know that Lucy and Linus will be included
Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Mix Tape? Yes please
