The idea, find songs that shouldn't EVER be used in space battles, but some people just might do it...

I've only ever asked God for one thing: "Lord, make my enemies ridiculous," and he granted my request.
My immediate advice is to go buy Brewsters. It is a dictionary, and a quite fine one. This you should use to bludgeon yourself comatose each and every night, in the faint hope that some of the knowledge contained in it might be transferred. If not, it would at least leave you damaged enough that you wouldn't be coming here and violate our senses with your retarded babble.

Actually, it's so bad that it comes back around again and becomes ironic. Like "We'll meet again someday" at the end of Dr. Strangelove. Agreed on final countdown though.

As far as the realm as the realm of possibility goes, I hope I never see "We are the Champs" used in a spacefight. Ever.
As far as hilarious goes, Mary Had a Little Lamb set on repeat as the behemoths slug it out.

Guide our souls to the Elysium Fields
Bear us home upon our shields
Lay coins across our brows and sound the bells
We're paying our fare on the river to Hell
And when our sons and mothers lay us upon the funeral pyre
Tell them we died Hellenic soldiers with our faces to the fire

That could be chilling if done right, though. A child singing a little children's lullaby, even as thousands of men are fried in a burst of gamma rays from a near-miss nuclear detonation... It could really highlight the inhumanity of war to set it to a children's song.Trailers wrote: As far as hilarious goes, Mary Had a Little Lamb set on repeat as the behemoths slug it out.

Also Sprach Zarathustra, because something you might hear in laundromat and car ads loses much of its charm.

Also there was a Blood(that classic FPS) theme that started with a Children's lullaby, it would be eerie if it did not degraded into a LOL Circus music after the well done opening.

Don't Stop Me Now by Queen would be the best thing ever for the "oh hay the good guys will win after all" part of a battle.

I think any 80s rock or pop-rock in a space battle would be horrendous. It isn't absurd enough to be da-da, and isn't dramatic enough to reinforce the situation.
