The best parts of the Guardians of the Galaxy films are often debated. Many say it's the comedy, others the action, but one thing everyone agrees makes the films stand out amongst the other Marvel films is it's wonderful use of music. And in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, music plays an even more integral role, as it's something that both Peter and Ego bond over. In a recent interview with THR, Elliot Lurie, who created the song "Brandy" for the band Looking Glass, commented on how he enjoyed its use in the film saying:
"The first Guardians is not the type of movie that I would normally watch, but I had heard so many great things that I put the DVD in and from the first moment I was hooked. I got a request from my music publisher about nine months ago to use 'Brandy' for sequel,...

Andy Warhol said everyone gets 15 minutes of fame, but if you ask one-hit wonders, they'll say you're lucky to get 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
Before reality TV started turning ordinary folks into stars, there was no faster path to the peak of celebrity -- and no more direct route back to the depths of obscurity -- than being a one-hit wonder.
Granted, there are probably good reasons why folks like Los Del Rio, the two middle-aged Spanish guys who took "Macarena" to No. 1 in 1996, never followed up their big hit, and the world was surely okay with making C.W. McCall's 1976 hit "Convoy" the only No. 1 song dedicated to Cb radio.
