Baby Commuter was yet another fun and inventive motion picture to add to Edgar Wright'southward impressive body of work. The pic follows a young getaway driver named Baby who uses music to help him pull off his amazing driving skills while evading police force.

The film is filled with great action sequences, fun performances and Wright's trademark abrupt wit. But the highlight of the moving picture is the stellar music choices which Wright edits to perfection in synch with the film'south activity. This resulted in one of the all-time soundtracks in contempo memory with some songs you probably recognize and a few you might be hearing for the showtime time. And all the songs are made ameliorate past their pitch-perfect placement in the movie. Take a look at the best songs in Baby Driver.

ten Slap-up Peachy Nifty By The Damned

One of the best parts about the Baby Driver soundtrack is how much diverseness there is. Baby is a fellow of many tastes and his music reflects that. Such is the case with this punk rock tune which stands out amid some of the more than polished music of the movie.

The vocal accompanies the armored car heist in which Baby is first introduced to the madman, Bats (Jamie Foxx). While some of Infant'due south music ever seems in perfect tune with the earth around him, this vocal reflects the chaos of the situation every bit nada goes as planned and Infant actually has to commencement and stop the song a couple of times.

9 Tequila By The Push Downward Brass

Many people might be familiar with the vocal "Tequila" thanks to Pee Wee Herman, but this version is actually the striped downward instrumental version. And yet it is yet a whole lot of fun. That instantly recognizable horn-fueled tune ends up plumbing equipment surprisingly well in the midst of a bloody shootout.

Bats even takes a liking to the song as the gang's gun deal suddenly goes incorrect. Every gunshot pairs brilliantly with the tempo of the song, giving the scene an extra kick of energy, equally if it wasn't energetic plenty already.

8 Debora Past T. Male monarch

Among all the car chases, gunfights and tough-talking, Infant Commuter is really a story of young love when you get to the heart of it. Baby'due south budding romance of the young waitress he forms a kinship with helps to provide a low-cal at the terminate of the tunnel in this violent world of criminal offence.

One of the sweetest moments between the two lovebirds is when they merchandise songs that characteristic each other's name. Of course, Baby has a lot to cull from, just this catchy melody is a prissy theme vocal as the two connect and heed to it while doing laundry together.

seven Infant Driver By Paul Simon

While the film'southward soundtrack is filled with pre-existing music, this ane seems like it was written specifically for Baby Driver. Obviously, Wright got the motion picture'due south title from this Paul Simon vocal, which either served as inspiration for the entire plot or was just an insanely proficient fit for his idea.

The song bounces forth with a lot of free energy while the lyrics mirror a lot of what we come across in the film. Sadly, nosotros merely hear the song within the movie equally it goes to credits. While information technology does seem like the perfect song to terminate on, it would have been nice to run into it used in the bodily motion-picture show.

half-dozen Easy By The Commodores

This song from Lionel Ritchie is probable one of the more pop songs on the soundtrack before the movie's release. As the title suggests, it is an easy-going song that really feels like it would be the perfect thing to listen to while taking a leisurely drive, something Infant doesn't get to do to often.

The song is actually one of the more pregnant ones in the movie. It is first used equally a hopefully optimistic song when Baby thinks he'southward finally leaving his life of criminal offense. It and then comes back at the cease every bit the song Baby'southward mother recorded for him.

5 Hocus Focus By Focus

Just equally the songs used in this action motion picture are varied, so too are the action scenes. Despite being virtually a getaway driver, Wright seems aware that motorcar chase later on motorcar hunt would get stale and switches it up. Ane of the best moments is Infant's extended human foot-hunt getaway scored by this energetic and unique song.

The bouncing rhythm and memorable yodeling are once again edited brilliantly to the action. Despite the lyrics being incomprehensible, the song is insanely catchy and will stick in your listen.

four Never, Never Gonna Give Y'all Upward By Barry White

Few singers' voices are as alluring every bit that of soul fable Barry White. His deep and smooth vocals are instantly recognizable and fit right at home in whatever sexy scene. Just Wright being the brilliant creative mind that he is, finds a totally unexpected and effective apply for White'southward song about romantic devotion.

After their last heist goes all incorrect, leaving Bats and Darling (Eiza González) dead, Buddy snaps and sets out to make Baby pay. As he tracks Baby down and corners him, the vocal takes on a new meaning as a threat that this cold-blooded killer volition not stop until Infant is dead.

3 Bellbottoms by The Jon Spencer Dejection Explosion

We might never have gotten Infant Driver if information technology wasn't for this song. Wright has said earlier that when he heard this song when he was younger it stuck in his mind as a perfect vocal to score a car chase. That thought never seemed to get out Wright'due south caput as this was the vocal that accompanied the extremely memorable motorcar chase that opens the film.

The song is immediately a winner within the movie as Baby hilariously sings along while waiting in the getaway car and it works even when the tires start squealing and the chase is on. It'southward ane of the best opening scenes in recent retention.

ii Harlem Shuffle By The Foundations

Aside from picking good music for the film, Wright excels at picking music that helps the audience understand the tone of the motion-picture show. This is meant to be a fun thrill ride of a motion picture and the music is an extension of that tone, especially this incredibly fun tune.

Afterwards the heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat car chase that opened the motion picture, this song helped keep the practiced times going. The song plays over the super fun credit sequence equally Baby goes on a spirited coffee run. It's so much fun watching all the ways Wright lets the song dictate what's happening on screen. Information technology helps brand this scene worth repeat viewings.

one Brighton Rock Past Queen

In a moving picture in which its music is so important, to put one song higher up the rest is a lot of pressure to put on that song. Luckily, Wright picks a song that is more than up to the challenge. This great Queen track is the vocal Babe calls his "killer track." And like a musical version of Chekhov's gun, you knew that song had to come back.

Wright already had a lot of success with Queen as he memorably used "Don't Finish Me At present" in Shaun of the Dead. Here, the iconic band over again provides a perfect scoring to a scene of violence and it does indeed feel like the platonic killer track for this motion-picture show'due south climax.
