I mean. From the first scene it's heard it somehow just sends shivers down my spine. Because like a Pavlovian association, I know things will go down and it's a kind of a siren call to for a moment forget all troubles.

And as it's also in universe music. Diegetic, if you are so inclined. It makes me wonder what other synth club house songs might be lurking in the canon.

I mean, we've had the Star Wars Disco version. But as far as I know, it wasn't in universe. It was only for us earthbound humans to enjoy.

I mean (yes, I start a lot of posts with that phrase). I mean. The closest I can think of is that one time Jefferson Airplane was in The Holiday Special.

I guess maybe Galactic Dreamer does fit the sound better for what usually ends up as a Sommarplåga.

So.. in the end, I'm saying. Is that I wouldn't mind a spinoff show that's a kind of SW Battle of the Bands Tournament Arc. Not a reality TV show. But a mid budget drama with at least one full music performance per episode.

And a special cameo with Bill & Ted of course
