Vecna's Curse and the Music That Saved Me: An Alternative Stranger Things Playlist

Hasta La Vista Vecna. I Got Something Better Than a Song.

It's time to bid farewell to the malevolent Vecna from Stranger Things. But a single song can't save us from his sinister curse. Instead, let’s dive into a playlist that can transport you to a world beyond words. Wreaking havoc on Vecna's reign, these tracks include iconic movie quotes and powerful video game beats. Ready to groove and fight back?

Verse 1: Movies That Have My Back

Let me introduce you to my good friends John McClane, Ellen Ripley, and the Terminator. These characters have faced down some of the universe’s most formidable foes, proving that music and a boomstick can be the key to survival.

“Alright you primitive screw head. Listen up. THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK.” -John McClane in Die Hard

“Rowdy Roddy Piper is somewhere inside in my brain ready to chew bubble gum and kick ass.” -Ellen Ripley in Aliens

“And guess what Number Nothing. He’s all outta bubble gum.” -The Terminator

Verse 2: Alice in Chains and the Power of Melody

But a true friend is never far away. Enter Alice in Chains’ haunting yet empowering voice. Their song “Would” (with a slightly different title) could indeed be the melody that saves us from Vecna’s curse.

“Would by Alice in Chains”

Chorus: Frank Sinatra’s Classic and Covers

Time to take it back to the good ol’ days when Frank Sinatra ruled the charts.“If I had thuh world to choose from, I’d pick thee, baby, one for thee and one for me.” This timeless melody and the many covers over the years make “One For My Baby and One More For The Road” the perfect pick to combat Vecna’s curse.

“Probably One For My Baby and One More For The Road from Frank Sinatra and… well a lot of other different people who’ve covered it over the years. It’s one that I love very much and hopefully it would bail me out from Vecna’s curse.”

Bridge: The Power of Video Game Music

But let’s not forget the power of video game soundtracks. These tracks have the energy, tempo, and emotional impact to turn any situation around. Embrace the beat drops and the power of these soundtracks to defeat Vecna’s reign.

“Mainly video game music that has awesome beat drops. Molten Doom, Hidden Wave OST, Ducky D00m OST, Berserk OST, Electrodynamix, Ruckus - Nine Circles, Dimrain47 - At the Speed of Light, Unknown - Unknown - Search Technique : Slaughterhouse Original Soundtrack, Pumpkin Shreddin, Raise the Void.”

So, the next time Vecna threatens to creep back into your world, just press play on this playlist. It’s the ultimate arsenal to vanquish any musical villain.
