As you can watch below, the video starts from the tail-end of a scene featured in the sequel. Star-Lord has just gifted Kraglin with Yondu’s prized arrow, so the latter offers to teach Peter Quill about his new Zune. The Ravager says the music player was made by “primitive people” – sorry Microsoft – but it has good music.
“It’s got Traffic, that’s really good. They’ve got some good songs. Thin Lizzy is a group I like a lot,” Kraglin tells Peter.
“There’s a lady on there named Alice Cooper that I like a lot. She seems kinda angry, but kinda like stuff about what we felt like when we were kids, you know?”
However, once director James Gunn calls cut, fans can see Chris Pratt and Sean Gunn break into giggles over the scene.
If you don’t recall just how Peter came to get his Zune, then you will need to take a walk through the sequel. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 saw Peter’s biological dad Ego the Living Planet destroy the mix-tapes his mother made. Yondu got a Zune for Peter to replace the Sony Walkman, but the Ravager died before he could pass it on. It came down to Kraglin to gift the present to Peter, but the reference nearly did not happen.
After all, it seems that Microsoft was upset to have their defunct MP3 player used for such a gag. During a Facebook Q&A, James Gunn told fans Microsoft was less-than-pleased with his film’s nod to the device. However, it looks like the tech giant came to terms with the scene by the end.
