I’m asked to include this song BY FAR more than any other. And this predictability is precisely why I’d never use it. In general, I’d rather be in the business of giving folks the thing they want that they don’t know they want rather than just the thing they know they want. https://t.co/hUXzvNIeOj

There's one song that James Gunn will never include in the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack and that would be "Dancing in the Moonlight" by King Harvest.
There have been a lot of chart-toppers which the Guardians grooved to in the first two movies like "Come and Get Your Love", "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", and "I Want You Back". And as a result, many fans have been requesting to include certain songs in the movie, some more so than others.
In response to a Twitter follower telling him that he better include King Harvest’s “Dancing in the Moonlight” in Guardians Vol. 3 or “I swear I will actually riot,” writer and director James Gunn tweeted, “I’m asked to include this song BY FAR more than any other. And this predictability is precisely why I’d never use it.
