There is a distinctive song that was played during both Alien 4 and Starship Troopers movie trailers. Does anyone know what it is?

I’ve been wondering about this too. Whatever it is, it’s not on the **Starship Troopers** soundtrack. Is it a really short song that gets played on alternative radio a lot? If it’s the one I’m thinking of, it has very few lyrics and is fast-paced. Is that the one you’re talking about?

If I’m thinking of the right song (I remember it being in the TV spots for **Starship Troopers** , but don’t remember it being used for **Alien4** ), it’s by Blur and is called _Song 2_.

Incidentally, the band **Haujobb** made a great track called _A-4 Main Title_ before they made the movie. They just liked the franchise and wanted to make a dark classical theme for a movie that had never been made.

If it makes you feel better, I had to ask my roommate what the name of the Blur “woo-hoo” song was.

The Woo-Hoo song! Yes, that’s the one! I’ll have to go see if it’s one of their albums or if it’s a single…

thanks!
