Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) Soundtrack: Every Song & When It Plays in the movie
As bass guitarist for a garage-rock band, Scott Pilgrim has never had trouble getting a girlfriend; usually, the problem is getting rid of them. But when Ramona Flowers skates into his heart, he finds she has the most troublesome baggage of all: an army of ex-boyfriends who will stop at nothing to eliminate him from her list of suitors.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World soundtrack includes a selection of tracks from The Rolling Stones, Metric and others, along with an original score by Nigel Godrich. This guide provides the complete list of soundtrack songs and scene descriptions, along with details on the composers and music supervisors involved in the 2010 Universal Pictures production. For more information on soundtrack songs and track listings, check the movies section.
Directed by Edgar Wright and based on the graphic novels by Bryan Lee O'Malley, the action comedy follows a young slacker musician who must defeat his new girlfriend's seven evil exes in order to win her heart. Set in a stylized, video-game-inspired Toronto, the story captures his rock band's battle of the bands and his intense, over-the-top battles against formidable rivals. To reflect the energetic garage-rock essence of the garage bands, the music supervision team selects fuzzy upbeat tunes from Canadian indie icons like Plumtree and Broken Social Scene. These loud, distorted guitar tracks are interspersed with softer background tunes that capture the chilly romance and domestic life of a winter in Toronto.
