Moon Knight season 1 episode 1 soundtrack: What songs play in episode 1?

Moon Knight has finally arrived on Disney Plus and we have to confess we weren’t quite prepared for the season opener to feature such an amazing soundtrack!

Minor spoilers ahead for Moon Knight season 1 episode 1. 

Across the first episode of Marvel’s first new series of 2022, we’re greeted by some amazing songs including a few unexpected selections involving songs from Bob Dylan, Wham! and Engelbert Humperdinck.

We definitely did not have a Wham! song on our Marvel soundtrack bingo board and have to give kudos to the creative team for the amazing way in which they utilized one of the pop duo’s most iconic tracks in the most unexpected of ways!

Can’t quite figure out the songs that play across Moon Knight‘s premiere? No need for Shazam, here is your Moon Knight season 1 episode 1 soundtrack breakdown:

• “Every Grain of Sand” performed by Bob Dylan
• “Arab Trap: Made in Egypt” performed by DJ Kaboo
• “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” performed by Wham!
• “A Man Without Love” performed by Engelbert Humperdinck
• “Bahlam Maak” performed by Nagat

Of course, the scene-stealing song from the premiere was “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” by Wham!, which played out across one of the episode’s standout scenes. Who would have predicted the Wham! bop to be used against the backdrop of an action-packed Marvel sequence involving a car chase and countless armed assailants? Certainly now this writer!

After seeing how Marvel incorporated the episode’s songs across the various scenes, it should be interesting to see what the next episodes will hold. One thing that’s certain? We’ll be breaking out our Shazam app every week to add to our Moon Knight playlists and anxiously waiting to see what songs could be featured next.

Moon Knight is streaming now on Disney Plus with new episodes arriving every Wednesday!
