Early on in production Gunn teased us with the announcement that the Awesome Mix Tape Volume 2 track listing was already set in stone.

James Gunn just can't help but be a tease.
“Come a Little Bit Closer,” by Jay and the Americans, played during the clip where Yondu faces off against some of the Ravagers.
“The Chain,” by Fleetwood Mac was the song used in the montage.
