"Guardians Inferno" is a disco cover of Tyler Bates' Guardians of the Galaxy theme, with lyrics written by James Gunn, and performed by David Hasselhoff and "The Sneepers". It plays during the end credits of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (after "Surrender" and "Flashlight"), and also closes the soundtrack Awesome Mix, Vol. 2. In August 2017, Marvel shared a TopPop-inspired music video for the song, guest-starring Gunn and the main Guardians of the Galaxy actors, both online, and on the GotG Vol. 2 home media releases.

comment
The Cameo: Stan Lee 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 the "Behind the Scenes" video. One of the extras costumed as an alien is Guillermo Rodriguez (from Jimmy Kimmel Live!), who also should have had a cameo in the movie (as a cop on Earth), but this ended in a Deleted Scene.invoked

comment
Stylistic Suck: The music video slavishly follows the visual codes of '70s television, including laughable "aliens" and "spacemen" costumes, painfully obvious Chroma Key and other crappy special effects, over-the-top shots and camera moves, etc. Seriously, it's so "bad" in a well-done way and faithful to the tropes of the time, without knowing the context it's almost impossible to guess it's not a vintage music video.

Viewers Are Geniuses: 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.

Fake Band: The song is credited to "The Sneepers feat. David Hasselhoff". There is, of course, no such band; it's the main cast of the movies (Chris Pratt, Pom Klementieff, Sean Gunn, Michael Rooker, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan) and director James Gunn having loads of fun in full Disco regalia.

comment
Chroma Key: Liberally used throughout the music video, with psychedelic space or geometric shapes as background. '70s-style chroma key, of course, meaning it's painfully obvious.

Irony: Most of the Guardians cast members, who play aliens in the films, appear without alien makeup in this music video. In contrast, Chris Pratt, who plays the Token Human in the films, is hiding his face underneath a robot suit.

comment
Gratuitous Disco Sequence: In the GotG Vol. 2 end credits, this song accompanies a display of holographic stickers of the Guardians and the Grandmaster dancing. The whole music video is one long, very gratuitous, very Disco sequence, slavishly following the style and limitations of a music video from the '70s.
