Kick Ass Soundtrack.

Prodigy - Stand up


This song is a very face paced, instrumental song. It gives a sense of achievement. When listening to it, it comes across as very satisfying. It is used in Kick Ass to represent action and achievement, Although Kick Ass doesn't really achieve anything in the film. When Daves being Kick Ass... He's nothing but himself.

Primal Screem - Can't go back



The Pretty Reckless - Make Me Wanna Die


This song by The Pretty Reckless is a very meaningful song if u listen carefully to the lyrics. Although the instrumental is covered by vocals you can hear the variation in the music and it again gives that sense of achievement, as it has a climax where the music builds up. This works well in Kick Ass as most of the fights and action build up so this reflects the action occuring.


Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed


Although Ellie Goulding and this song appeals to the teenager viewers, this song isn't exactly appropriate for the film. Kick Ass is a superhero comedy, therefore Ellie Gouldings track doesn't relate to humour or action. Also the characters included in Kick Ass for example, Hit Girl who is very outrageous, unusual character, is now covered by a soundtrack by a very main stream artist. This is creating a contrast.
