The superheroes are dancing again! Just like in 2022, when Peacemaker Season 1 featured an opening credits sequence in which the cast engaged in hilarious choreography to the d Wig Wam song “Do Ya Wanna Taste It,” Season 2’s opening number is even goofier and, arguably, more epic.
But do you recognize that catchy, cathartic earworm? If you were listening to indie rock that was tinged with a touch of glam back in 2010, this song, “Oh Lord,” is one you might remember. Here’s what to know about the new Peacemaker Season 2 opening song, and why that dance number is even funnier than it was three years ago.
What is the Peacemaker Season 2 opening song?
The song that opens every episode of Peacemaker Season 2 is “Oh Lord” by the band Foxy Shazam. This song was released in 2010 and featured on Foxy Shazam’s third album, which was self-titled. The song was released in March 2010 as a single, with the album coming out one month later in April 2010.

For the themes of Peacemaker Season 2, “Oh Lord” is the perfect track. The Peacemaker himself has, as the song says, “had some rough f*cking years,” and everyone in the show is trying to “keep on keeping on.”
“There was another Foxy song I considered, but at the end of the day I thought this, ‘Oh Lord,’ fit the season the best,” showrunner James Gunn said in a roundtable interview attendedby Men’s Journal ahead of the launch of the season.
How Peacemaker Season 2’s opening dance number is different from Season 1
Because Season 2 features a ton of new characters, including roles for Tim Meadows and Sol Rodríguez, there are a ton of people in this opening dance number.

In the same roundtable, Gunn has also noted that Frank Grillo’s Rick Flag Sr. is also new to the dance number, which means that “we have more bad dancers this season.”
