Buckle up Sonic Adventure 2 sickos, the main theme of the series’ 3D platform game will be in the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Live action film. Were you afraid that we would get a terrible needle prick at a crucial moment? Have you mentally prepared yourself to hear Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out For A Hero” as Sonic and his friends fight to save the world? Well, that could still happen. But at some point, Japanese-American rock band Crush 40’s “Live And Learn” will play in the next live-action film.
Rumors started circulating after a The teaser of the film was released on February 2nd Inside was what sounded like an orchestral arrangement of the super cheesy metal song. sound Superfans/music lovers have reached out to Crush 40 singer Johnny Gioeli and asked if the track could appear in the film itself. Then screenshots from Gioeli seemingly confirming that the song would be featured in it Sonic the Hedgehog 3 started popping up on social media. Independent gaming and culture site aftermath Then have received an official comment on the matter.
“I actually signed a deal with Paramount for song placement,” Gioeli said aftermath. “How they use it is entirely up to them…Paramount now has the legal right to use ‘Live and Learn’ in any way they deem necessary.”
So there you have it, folks. “Live and Learn” will feature in some capacity in the upcoming film. For example, it could be played during an action scene converted into the score similar to the Green Hill Zone song in the first film, or Paramount could place it in the credits at the end. Given that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 seems to incorporate many elements of Sonic Adventure 2 from The focus is on the anti-hero Shadow the Hedgehog, using “Live and Learn” for a final action sequence would be a great homage to the franchise’s history. Remember The second film’s dance battle scene is set to “Uptown Funk”? I thought it was pretty cute, but please less of it in the future.
Anyway, I’ll watch this again Sonic Symphony concert in which Crush 40 performed “Live and Learn” and other songs they contributed to the franchise. I cried because of this shit. “Live and Learn” isn’t even my favorite sound Crush 40 song (“Open Your Heart” and “I Am…All of Me”), but I will cry if this song comes on during the movie. I am such a sign.
