So much. And kudos to the sound and editing departments for making those battle scenes and the music score work perfectly.
Oh, that fight scene….
Seth MacFarlane unironically made me a Dolly Parton fan with this character.
Seth MacFarlane is nothing if not a lover of musicals/theater. I really enjoyed the later scene where

a recreation of Dolly convinced Heveena to admit her wrongdoing.
I could make that work 😆
They used this song for a fight scene in the first season of Umbrella Academy! Whichever director said they would pick the songs first and then do the choreography to match. (S1 E9 34:22 if you want to check it out)
They do this a few times in Supergirl - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik when Lex leaves Luthor Mansion for example. It is a work of absolute beauty :)
And if you've ever seen "Kingsman" and "the heads" scene...... oh my good gods. You HAVE to look it up on the web because that is.... it is just exquisite.
hahahahah holy shit
I heard mmm bop! At a gas station the other day and felt like I should alert OSHA for a hostile work environment.
Way back in the early 2000s , I worked at a Walmart. They had these ceiling-hung TVs that played "Walmart TV" which was basically just 3 commercials on a loop. One of them was this Hilary Duff song (Beat of my Heart, I think?) that nearly drove me to madness after hearing it over and over, day after day, for months on end.
Or a giant robot playing Frisbee with his human friend...
