What would Marvel movies be without gratuitous pop songs ? Looking Glass’ “Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)” appears in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 to tug on the heartstrings. Here’s a look at why a member of the band disagreed with some of the film’s dialog.
‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ claims ‘Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)’ might be the best song Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 includes a lot of classic songs, including George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord,” the Electric Light Orchestra’s “Mr.
Blue Sky,” and Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain.” However, the character Ego says that Looking Glass’ “Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)” might be the finest musical composition in the history of Earth. During a 2017 interview with the New York Post , Looking Glass singer Elliot Lurie dismissed the idea that Looking Glass’ “Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)” was the best song ever.
“Far from it,” he laughed. “I would say that is probably ‘Desperado’ by The Eagles!” It’s interesting that he chose an Eagles song that wasn’t even a single. Lurie revealed what he thought when director James Gunn approached him to use the tune in the film.
“When he explained how he planned to use it, I was thrilled,” said Lurie. “I loved the first movie so much — I was actually a little disappointed about ‘Brandy’ not being on that soundtrack.” While “Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)” wasn’t in the first movie, it still featured other 1970s .
