The official music video for David Hasselhoff's synthwave track True Survivor, written for the film Kung Fury. It is an 80s-style pop song from the Kickstarter-funded movie.

Mostly mentioned as a joke or a personal pick, including on a coding playlist thread.

The 90s have called... They want their Cyberpunk 2020 font back into something more legible. I suggest he hires Hasselhoff for the promotion [VIDEO]

Like @koenvdb says, there is no "magic playlist". What works for you will probably be different from everyone else. But FWIW, you can do worse than including this track: [LINK] ("Chase" by Giorgio Moroder) Outside of that, you might try something like: [LINK] (horrorsynth) [LINK] (synthwave) [LINK] (synthwave) [LINK] (Rachmaninoff) [LINK] (Camille Saint-Saëns - Danse Macabre) [LINK] (Bach - Brandenburg Concertos) [LINK] (Holst - The Planets) [LINK] (Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion) [LINK] (blues) [LINK] ("Epic battle music") [VIDEO] (David Hasselhoff - True Survivor) [LINK] (Amon Amarth - Put Your Back Into The Oar) [LINK] (AC/DC - Greatest Hits) [LINK] (Motley Crue - Keep Your Eye on the Money) [LINK] (Winger - Madalaine) [LINK] (John Farnham - Thunder in your Heart) [LINK] ("Twin Peaks Double R Diner Ambience - 8 Hours of Smooth Jazz Music, Rain Sounds, & Cozy Cafe Ambience")

I recently encountered the term 'Tempoflavanoids' - the flavour of a particular moment in time. I love the concept, it speaks to the artist in me. Though I thought David Hasslehoff's 'True Survivor' music video for the Kung Fury kickstarter was a banger. [VIDEO]
