My soundtrack for the book Ready Player One

1.   Everybody Wants to Rule The World by Tears For Fears

This song was one of the most popular songs of the 80s something that the main character Wade Watts and the CEO of Gregarious Games, James Halliday both love and share an interest for. 80s pop culture. It also can relate to the book as the Oasis was so huge that whoever owned it basically ruled the world because everybody had it and used it.

2. We’re Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister

This song is a great representation of the end of the book when the IOI and Parzival (Wade Watts) and almost the entire Oasis get into a huge fight for the last key. The community isn’t taking IOIs crap and won’t let them secure the last key so that they can own the Oasis.

3. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham!

This song is great for when Parzival and Art3mus go to the club or Distracted Globe and go to the zero gravity dance floor where the have a dance off originally trying to find a clue to the 2nd key. Instead they are tracked down by a bounty hunter I-R0k and their position is given to the IOI which they are later attacked.

4. Stayin’ Alive by Bee Gees

This song is also a great song for when Parzival and Art3mus go to the Distracted Globe and have a dance battle. They get a little caught up as there is something more between the two. Rather than searching for the clue that may be there.

5. It’s On Again by Alicia Keys (Feat. Kendrick Lamar)

The main character Wade Watts had found a box and it had flash drives of complete runs of The Amazing Spider-Man, The X-Men, and Green Lantern It’s On Again is a song from the movie The Amazing Spider-Man and plays in the closing scenes of it.

6. She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5

This is great song for the ending of the book where Wade and Samantha have a romantic end saying that they should date and that Wades in love with her and a lot of that stuff.
