History Music / GuardiansInferno

** One of the extras costumed as an alien is Guillermo Rodriguez (from ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!''), who also should have a cameo in the movie (as a cop on Earth), but this ended in a DeletedScene.[[invoked]]

* TinCanRobot: One of the costumed dancers is a glitzy robot with a bucket head, doing vaguely robotic dance moves throughout the video. [[spoiler:The ending reveals it's Christ Pratt inside the costume.]]

"Guardians Inferno" is a disco cover of Tyler Bates' ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' theme, with lyrics written by Creator/JamesGunn and performed by Creator/DavidHasselhoff and "The Sneepers". It plays during the end credits of ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'' (after "Surrender" and "Flashlight"), and also closes the soundtrack ''Awesome Mix, Vol. 2''. In August 2017, Marvel shared [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MMMe1drnZY a music video]] for the song both online, and on the ''[=GotG=] Vol. 2'' home media releases.

** One of the extras costumed as an alien is Guillermo Rodriguez (from ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!''), who also should have a cameo in the movie (as a cop on Earth), but this ended as a DeletedScene.[[invoked]]

* FakeBand: The song is credited to "The Sneepers feat. Creator/DavidHasselhoff". There is, of course, no such band; it's the main cast of the movie (Creator/ChrisPratt, Creator/PomKlementieff, Sean Gunn, Creator/MichaelRooker, Creator/ZoeSaldana, Creator/DaveBautista, Creator/KarenGillan) and director Creator/JamesGunn having loads of fun in full Disco regalia.

* FreudianExcuse: "They ask me why I'm bringing a baby into battle...I didn't learn parenting, my daddy was a planet!"

* {{Homage}}: The song and the video evoke Meco's disco covers of score from ''Franchise/StarWars'', and when the Dutch variety show ''[=TopPop=]'' staged [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0PLHZhvg4Y a dance number]] around the first one.

* NonAppearingTitle: No one ever sings the words "guardians" or "inferno".

** One of the extras costumed as an alien is Guillermo Rodriguez (from ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!''), who also happens to have a cameo in the movie (as a cop in the Earth scenes).

** Creator/StanLee can add yet another notch to his cameo list, as he shows up near the end of the video. He doesn't dance, however, despite joking about it in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQy-_aM8MLo&t=9s the "Behind the Scenes" video]].

* ViewersAreGeniuses: One of the lyrics for the number is "Getting down and dirty with a ''procyon lotor''." ''Procyon lotor'' is the scientific name for "raccoon". This refers, naturally, to Rocket Raccoon. The video puts those words on the screen, presumably so viewers can look them up.

* {{Feelies}}: The Ultra HD Blu-Ray comes with a poster of Hasselhoff and the Sneepers.

* {{Fanservice}}: A sizable number of the video's performers wear low-cut outfits, with Bautista in particular wearing [[WalkingShirtlessScene no shirt at all]].

* DoubleVision: Several shots in the video have a performer appear twice at once.

* ShoutOut: The song's title is a reference to the musical ''Theatre/DiscoInferno''.

* ViewersAreGeniuses: One of the lyrics for the number is "Getting down and dirty with a ''procyon lotor''." ''Procyon lotor'' is the scientific name for "raccoon".

* GratuitousDiscoSequence: The whole music video, part of the DVD/Blu-Ray release for the movie, is one long, very gratuitous, very Disco sequence, slavishly following the style and limitations of a music video from the '70s.
