The movie Cruella does a brilliant job recreating its 1970s setting. The film never outright declares when it takes place and instead allows the production design and the clothing to speak for themselves. The result is an engrossing and faithful recreation of 1970s London that features just the right amount of nostalgia to succeed without overwhelming.

Music is a big aspect of the movie. Indeed, the soundtrack is jam-packed with bangers from the '70s that remain as relevant today as they were back day. The entire thing is a who's who of '70s icons, but some songs certainly stand out more than others when it comes to popularity.

Whole Lotta Love - Ike & Tina Turner

Ike & Tina Turner were one of the most successful acts of the 1960s and 1970s. The husband and wife duo had plenty of hits during their sixteen years together, most notably "River Deep - Mountain High," "Nutbush City Limits," and "Proud Mary."

Like another of their songs featured in the Cruella soundtrack - "Come Together" - "Whole Lotta Love" was a cover from a previous song, released in 1974. The original came out in 1969, serving as the opening of Led Zeppelin's second album, the appropriately titled Led Zeppelin II.

Stone Cold Crazy - Queen

As one of the most influential acts of all time, Queen is no stranger to movie soundtracks. The band's many hits, including "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Under Pressure," have appeared in all types of films in all types of genres, from "Wayne's World" to "Iron Man 2."

Cruella uses one of the band's most underrated songs, taken from their 1974 album Sheer Heart Attack. "Stone Cold Crazy" never became a single, although Queen performed it at plenty of their concerts in the years following the album's release.

Should I Stay Or Should I Go - The Clash

Despite releasing in 1982, The Clash's classic hit "Should I Stay or Should I Go" could easily pass for a '70s hit. The now-iconic tune, featuring Mick Jones in lead vocals, served as the third single for the band's fifth studio album, Combat Rock.

"Should I Stay or Should I Go" performed modestly when it first came out, failing to reach the Top 40 in the US. It received further attention nearly a decade later, after being featured in an early '90s Levi's commercial. In Cruella, the song accompanies one of the most memorable moments in the movie, when the lead villainess comes out of a garbage truck wearing an elaborate dress.

You're Such A Good Looking Woman - Joe Dolan

Irish singer Joe Dolan was a persistent presence in the music scene for more than four decades. Known for his high-pitched voice and energetic performances, Joe capitalized this persona into his long-standing slogan, "There's no show like a Joe show."

"You're Such a Good Looking Woman" was one of Dolan's most prominent international successes. The song, released in 1970, is well-known for its distinctive '60s sound and Dolan's enthusiastic delivery. The tune plays in the background during a scene featuring the Baroness and John right before her fashion show.

Boys Keep Swinging - David Bowie

As one of the most influential singers of the 20th century, David Bowie's songs have a way of constantly appearing in movies and tv shows. The English singer-songwriter produced a plethora of hits, most of which became classics, during the 1970s. Songs like "Changes," "Starman," and "Life on Mars?" contributed to his allure and persona, becoming international hits.

"Boys Keep Swinging" was one of his last songs of the 70s, released as the debut single from his 13th studio album, Lodger. The song appears only briefly in Cruella, during a short scene where Horace realizes the Baroness' dalmatians calm down when watching football.

I Gotcha - Joe Tex

Joe Tex rose to prominence in the 1960s thanks to his particular brand Southern Soul. Released in 1972, "I Gotcha" was an unexpected hit for Tex. It reached #1 in the R&B charts and peaked #2 in the Pop charts, behind Roberta Flack's juggernaut hit, "The First Ever I Saw Your Face."

Like "Boys Keep Swinging," "I Gotcha" features briefly in Cruella. Near the beginning of the movie, Jasper gets Estella an entry-level job at Liberty department store by sneaking her highly exaggerated resume into the desk of an HR employee.

One Way Or Another - Blondie

Cruella's distinctive punk vibe owes a lot to Blondie and Debbie Harry. The band, which rose to prominence in 1978 thanks to their album Parallel Lines, kept going well into the '80s, producing some of the time's most memorable hits.

"One Way or Another," which served as Parallel Lines's final single, is one of the band's most recognizable and acclaimed songs. The song's lyrics, coupled with Harry's aggressive delivery, made the song an instant classic. "One Way or Another" features during another one of Cruella's most memorable moments, a montage of Cruella's successful efforts to upstage the Baroness.

Car Wash - Rose Royce

Released in 1976, Rose Royce's "Car Wash" quickly became a massive hit. In the years since its release, it transitioned into an anthem of the disco era. Its upbeat sound and irresistible lyrics took it all the way to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Rose Royce's most successful single.

Cruella makes excellent use of "Car Wash." The song plays during Jasper and Horace's kidnapping of the Baroness' dalmatians. The contagious tune, coupled with the sheer charming scene of Wink luring the three dogs into the van, makes the whole thing even more entertaining.

Livin' Thing - Electric Light Orchestra

When it comes to music, it doesn't get more '70s than Electric Light Orchestra. Formed in 1970 by Jeff Lyne, Roy Wood, and Bev Bevan, ELO produced countless hits over the next thirteen years. Some of their most notable songs include "Last Train to London," "Mr. Blue Sky" - which achieved newfound fame after serving as the soundtrack to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2's opening scene - and, of course, "Livin' Thing."

This last tune plays during Cruella's escape from the Baroness' party, as Horace crashes into the cake and Jasper releases a group of rats. The chaos that ensues is pure Disney escapism, and "Livin' Thing" is the perfect song to accompany it.
