Prompt: "The song that plays over the end credits of the 2024 remake of Dr. Strangelove"
Selected by Gilson
"Blow Up the Outside World"
Soundgarden
Down on the Upside, 1996
I dunno. I struggled with this. So I thought about the original Strangelove. The song chosen was crooned. Check. It was older than the time period in which the movie itself took place. Check. It was full of irony. Check, kinda. Cornell has that kind of delivery that makes everything seem ironic, especially in this time period of Soundgarden, so I guess we can count it. Mostly I could picture the shot of someone (Channing Tatum?) riding that warhead while the noise cuts out and it’s just the opening chords of this song and Cornell singing "Nothing / seems to kill me / no matter how hard I try."

I had my money on you picking "Walk of Life" by Dire Straits. Probably mostly because of this website.
I should've checked to see if they had Dr. Strangelove before I wrote this comment. Of course they do.
