What’s the Peacemaker Season 2 Opening Credits Song
Peacemaker Season 2 opens with the song Oh Lord by Foxy Shazam. Season 1’s opening credits featured Do Ya Wanna Taste It by Wig Wam. In a conversation with TheWrap, Gunn stated why he changed the dance number in season 2:
I knew the dance had to change because we killed everybody in Season 1. But I wasn’t sure whether I was going to change the song or keep the song the same and do a different dance. After just listening to a lot of things, and just going walking through my imagination, I eventually hit upon ‘Oh Lord,’ which I thought was great. They have a great music video which has dancing in it, and I thought that was a good inspiration for Season 2.
Gunn also stated how Foxy Shazam is his favorite band, owing to which he landed the choice. The Peacemaker director might have even given us some clues on what happens in this season by stating, “The lyrics are very much about what happens in Season 2. I think that in the same way Do Ya Wanna Taste It really captured the flavor, both the light and the dark sides of Season 1, the same is true of Oh Lord.”
