Peacemaker season 2 has officially dropped the mic, with a finale packed full of rock bangers – including one with lyrics that are absolutely not PG-rated.

It seems that the DC Universe series has been a place for creator James Gunn to share the more eccentric parts of his music library, with glam rock bands Foxy Shazam, Nelson and Hardcore Superstar among the most prominently featured.

But it's comedic group Steel Panther who take the prize for most surprising chorus, with their song titled (and I promise I am not making this up): F***ing My Heart in the Ass.

The song comes from the band's 2014 album All You Can Eat, which – believe it or not – actually reached a respectable No. 12 on the official UK albums chart – and went all the way to No. 2 in Australia.

Perhaps not one for your next family BBQ, but certainly in-keeping with the tongue-in-cheek glam metal that has been a hallmark of Peacemaker across these first two seasons.

If you've been enjoying the latest episodes – and the explosive ending – read on for your complete guide to the Peacemaker season 2 soundtrack.

Peacemaker season 2 theme song

Peacemaker season 2 opens to a dance number set to Foxy Shazam's energetic rock ballad Oh Lord, originally released on the band's 2010 self-titled album.

The first season of Peacemaker also featured a dance routine at the start of each episode, although that season's chosen track was Do Ya Wanna Taste It by Norwegian band Wig Wam.

Speaking to The Wrap, Peacemaker creator James Gunn explained the song choices: "I think that in the same way Do Ya Wanna Taste It really captured the flavour, both the light and the dark sides of season 1, the same is true of 'Oh Lord'."

Gunn is known for inserting memorable tunes into his work, from the 'Awesome Mixes' of the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy to the viral inclusion of the Teddybears and Iggy Pop song Punkrocker in this summer's Superman reboot.
