On Their Debut Album In 1988 Close Thunderbolts*" first official trailer is set to the tune of Pixies" 1988 hit, "Where Is My Mind?." This iconic rock song was released as part of Pixies" debut album, and has been covered time and again in the years since its release. The use of this song in Thunderbolts* first trailer is reminiscent of similarly-styled songs being used to promote Marvel"s Guardians of the Galaxy movies. "Where Is My Mind?" might have been the perfect song to choose to introduce the MCU"s Thunderbolts team to audiences for the first time.
Why "Where Is My Mind" Is The Perfect Song For Thunderbolts* Thunderbolts* Will Be As Weird & Wonderful As "Where Is My Mind?"

"Where Is My Mind?" is a song that highlights disorientation and uneasiness, specifically that of Pixies" frontman Black Francis while he was scuba diving in the Caribbean. This translates perfectly into the narrative of Marvel Studios" Thunderbolts*, as the team"s individual members seem to have all been sent on the same mission without knowing details, with reality being far from what it seems, and each of the team feeling lost and untethered as superhumans with no real purpose. "Where Is My Mind?" perfectly highlights their confusion.
