Question
In Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Merlin starts singing "Take Me Home, Country Roads" while he is sitting on a land mine. Does the song have any significance, or could he have been singing "Despacito" and have the same result?
Answer
Because Matthew Vaughn thought he was being clever:
Vaughn thought he was being very clever using John Denver music -- he's not happy he's the fifth movie this year
Mike Ryan: Speaking of music, John Denver's music plays a big role in this film. We've had a lot of John Denver in movies this year.
Matthew Vaughn: Don't wind me up. Fucking hell.
Mike Ryan: John Denver music was also in Alien: Covenant, Okja, and Logan Lucky. Why is this happening?
Matthew Vaughn: I have no idea and I cannot believe it! I wrote John Denver into the script two and a half years ago thinking, "No one really talks about John Denver anymore." Now I think we're the sixth movie using John Denver! Look at the world, we are getting closer and closer to the singularity, whether we like it or not.
