Creature Commandos with the singer from Gogol Bordello in Creature Commandos
Creature Commandos offers a dynamic soundtrack that provides an explosive introduction to James Gunn’s DCU. Creature Commandos is the first official entrant in James Gunn’s DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters - though certain elements from Gunn’s other DC works are considered canon.
The series offers a starkly different rendition of the typical superhero romp, transporting audiences to a world of classic horror movie monsters and spooky castles, with suitably dynamic music to match. ✕ Remove Ads The Creature Commandos soundtrack employs a combination of original score and compiled songs. Both of these aspects of the soundtrack are rooted in Eastern European folk music and the dark cabaret genre. Gunn even referenced The Dresden Dolls and Gogol Bordello as major influences on the show’s music, referring to them as a musical mood board for Creature Commandos season 1. Every Song In Creature Commandos Episode 1 Close ✕ Remove Ads The first song heard in Creature Commandos is “Moliendo Café” by Fanfare Ciocǎrlia. This is played as the main title theme for Creature Commandos in the opening credits. Much like the other songs on the soundtrack, “Moliendo Café” has a distinctly Eastern European feel influenced by Gypsy music, setting the musical precedent for the series. Related James Gunn Has Already Retconned His First DCU Release Creature Commandos has confirmed several aspects from The Suicide Squad that is now DCU canon. It has also, however, retconned one memorable moment. Posts2 “My Gypsy Auto Pilot” by Gogol Bordello appears when the team are traveling via helicarrier on the first mission in Pokolistan. The song pays while they land and then exit the vehicle, producing one of the first shots of the full Creature Commandos team. Gogol Bordello appear throughout the Creature Commandos soundtrack as one of the show's main musical influences. ✕ Remove Ads "Carousel" by Circus Contraption accompanies the Creature Commandos on their restless night in the Pokolistan palace. The montage depicts each team member struggling to sleep while the music's haunting melody drifts across them. Except, of course, for the Weasel who sleeps soundly. “Mala Vida” by Gogol Bordello provides the backing for Rick Flag's thrilling fight with Dr Phosphorus. The band's punk energy is the perfect accompaniment for their thrilling fight, all while retaining an Eastern European vibe. The band fuse Romani and Ukrainian folk music with punk and dub, making them a fitting soundtrack for the ragtag group of misfit monsters. Related DC Just Ignored The Perfect Opportunity To Bring The Best Suicide Squad Character Back To The DCU The DCU had the perfect project to bring back Sylvester Stallone’s King Shark after The Suicide Squad in the DCU’s first project. Sadly, they did not. Posts ✕ Remove Ads "Juodaan Viinaa" by Korpiklaani serves as the end credits music for Creature Commandos episode 1. Each episode ends with a different song, with episode 1 offering an anthemic rock song with a notably piratical tone. Much like the other Eastern European music, this helos ground the series in a traditional horror setting, and declares that Creature Commandos will not follow the standard superhero fare. Every Song In Creature Commandos Episode 2 Close ✕ Remove Ads "Raise The Dead" by Caravan Of Thieves appears in Creature Commandos episode 2 when Circe is eating steak in front of her men. The song continues through to the next scene when Lana starts flirtatiously caressing Rick Flag scars and tending to his wounds. The music crescendos as the pair begin passionately making love in the bathroom. Related Did The DCU Just Kill Off Its First Major Characters On The Day The Universe Launched James Gunn has kicked off the DCU with two explosive episodes of Creature Commandos, which might have repeated his dastardly The Suicide Squad trick. Posts2 "Start Wearing Purple" by Gogol Bordello provides the background for the Bride's captivating fight against Circe in Frankenstein's mansion. The song choice is fitting considering that Circe's magic and the color scheme in the scene are both purple."Start Wearing Purple" plays almost in its entirety, as the Bride fends off Circe's men before the Bride has flashbacks to her days with Victor Frankenstein. ✕ Remove Ads “American Wedding” by Gogol Bordello is the background music for the montage scene where the Bride attempts to evade Eric Frankenstein. In fact, the band you see performing the song during this montage is Gogol Bordello themselves. The lyrics' discussion of weddings and marriage are ideal to accompany the Bride as she flees from her betrothed. Related Creature Commandos Episodes 1 & 2 Easter Eggs And DC References Explained Creature Commandos episodes 1 & 2 are filled with exciting Easter eggs and DC references as the very first look at the new DC Universe. Posts “Ompa Til Du Dør” by Kaizers Orchestra serves as the end credits music for Creature Commandos episode 2. Like the previous end credits music, the song enters with a jarring beat that helps punctuate the cliffhanger ending. Both songs are also among the very few songs included that are not sung in English. ✕ Remove Ads Where To Listen To The Creature Commandos Soundtrack There is no officially released Creature Commandos soundtrack album, though this could change after the season is released. However, James Gunn has created a playlist on Spotify titled, Creature Commandos Official Playlist. This features all the songs listed above from the compiled soundtrack, though it does not feature any of the incidental score or backing music. Before the first episodes debuted, this playlist was largely a collection of random songs, albeit thematically curated. However, Gunn has since updated it with the above songs. It appears that he will do so with the release of each episode of Creature Commandos. ✕ Remove Ads Your Ratingclose10 stars9 stars8 stars7 stars6 star5 stars4 stars3 stars2 stars1 star Rate Now 0/10 Leave a Review Your comment has not been savedMy List My Favorite TV ShowsMy Watchlist Success! 8/10 33 7.3/10 Creature Commandos TV-MAAnimationSci-FiFantasyActionAdventure This animated series follows a covert team of monstrous inmates recruited for perilous missions deemed unsuitable for humans.
