“Guardians of the Galaxy” is not only 2014’s biggest domestic hit at the box office so far, it’s still very much part of the pop culture zeitgeist and discussed by fans on a regular basis.

Now Google Play is getting in on the action and offering people who still can’t get enough of “Guardians” a one-day window to download the film’s addictive soundtrack, Awesome Mix Vol. 1.

The collection of songs include Blue Swede’s “Hooked on a Feeling,” featured in the film’s trailers, along with other classic hits as David Bowie‘s “Moonage Daydream,” The Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back,” Marvin Gaye’s “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” and The Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb.”

“Guardians” director James Gunn also unveiled on Facebook Wednesday what he calls Awesome Mix Volume Zero, “high energy party tunes” that he and the cast and crew jammed to during long night shoots on set. The playlist includes Andrew WK’s “Party Hard,” My Chemical Romance’s “Teenagers” and The Old 97’s “Timebomb.”

The Marvel superhero flick starring Chris Pratt is the only film to top $300 million at the domestic box office this year. A sequel is already in the works and set for a 2017 release.
