The first trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder was especially special for fans of 1980s rock and Guns N’ Roses, as it featured the legendary guitar riff from ” Sweet Child O’ Mine ” His time with the Guardians of the Galaxy had a significant impact on him, as evidenced by the theme’s seamless integration with the film’s eighties-inspired presentation as seen in the superheroes’ costumes.
If you enjoyed the trailer, you will certainly enjoy the rest of the soundtrack, which features not just the Guns N’ Roses theme but also multiple others, as well as other 80s and other oldies. Taika Waititi stated that he intended the film’s “bombastic, loud, and bright palette” to be reflected in the music.
Songs in Thor: Love and Thunder
- “Only Time” – Enya
- “Welcome To The Jungle” – Guns N’ Roses
- “Paradise City” – Guns N’ Roses
- “Old Spice Sea Chanty” – Ginger Johnson
- “Fighting” – Michael Raphael

- “Family Affair” – Mary J. Blige
- “Sweet Child O’ Mine” – Guns N’ Roses
- “Goodies” – Ciara
- “Hey Ninny-Nonny” – Taika Waititi
- “November Rain” – Guns N’ Roses
- “Rainbow In The Dark” – Dio
The film also features “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Paradise City,” and “November Rain” by Guns N’ Roses. They are the four most significant songs in the career of the legendary band, which continues to tour the globe. The metal continues with the Ronnie James Dio classic “Rainbow in the Dark,” which complements the film’s ambiance.
But not all objects are metallic. The inclusion of “Our Last Summer” by ABBA and a song by Enya is not surprising given the comedy of Taika Waititi (who also has a song credit). We will not engage in spoilers. On the other hand, Ciara and Mary J. Blige also participate in hip hop, which is not unusual.
In general, the soundtrack is reminiscent of James Gunn’s compositions for Guardians of the Galaxy, with a retro dad rock compilation, but Waititi adds more variety with different genres and a touch of humour.
