10 Great Songs You Associate With Great Games

2. "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" By Cage The Elephant

Once again, a song plays a huge role both in a game and in the marketing for the game. Anyone who remembers the marketing campaign for the first Borderlands game remembers "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" by Cage the Elephant. It complemented the video perfectly, letting you know you were in for something ludicrous in the best possible way.

That's probably why this song made its way into the game, as well.

The intro to the game features "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked" as the game starts. These opening moments sets the tone for what comes next, not just in this first game but the rest of the franchise, too.
