The Suicide Squad Trailer Breakdown: 23 Things You Must See

1. For Those Wondering About The Tune...

The Suicide Squad Harley Quinn
Warner Bros. Pictures

By the time you've got to the end of The Suicide Squad's first trailer, there's a good chance you'll be left humming the song that plays throughout so much of this new footage.

For those wondering just what exactly that tune is, it's the aptly-titled Dirty Work by Steely Dan. That song was the second track on the band's 1973 Can't Buy a Thrill album - which can be found available on all of the usual apps and whatnot.

This tune serves as the perfect beats to watch The Suicide Squad's action and antics play out, but that's to be expected from James Gunn - for the writer/director has knocked it out of the park with the soundtracks he put together for his two Guardians of the Galaxy pictures.

That's a wrap for this breakdown of the brilliant new trailer for The Suicide Squad - and find said trailer below for one further viewing.
