Episode 1: "The Big Ride"ĭon McLean, "American Pie" (marching band cover): when Butcher enters the Cicero's restaurant, a cover of "American Pie" is the ambient music in the background. By a fun coincidence, this is the same chain of the restaurant The Boys kept Translucent captive under in season 1. The first season also featured iconic English rock bands like The Clash and The Damned - likely as a nod to the source material, the comic series of the same name penned by Irish-born Garth Ennis. Season 2 (thus far) does the same, while using a broad range of songs to enhance the viewing experience.

Season 2 of The Boyscontinues this trend by including Billy Joel songs in significant character moments or Hughie. Related: The Boys: Why Homelander's Son Was Recast For Season 2 Appropriately, season 1 featured the Bill Joel song "Big Shot."

Soft-spoken Hughie is a lover, not a fighter, and speaks openly (and enthusiastically!) about his love of Billy Joel's music. The first season followed reluctant hero Hughie as he became embroiled in a plot to take down the Seven, the most powerful superhero team in existence. The Boys is an Amazon Prime original series set in a world where superheroes exist - and are immoral, not to mention incredibly powerful, celebrities.

The dark satirical superhero series set the bar high for itself in this regard since The Boys season 1 had a soundtrack full of songs that added thematic and emotional depth to show's events. The second season of The Boysfeatures a carefully-curated soundtrack, and every episode uses songs to great effect - either to acknowledge a character's emotional state, to establish the tone of the scene, or to make a sly metafictional wink to the audience regrading what just occurred.
