“So I cried all the way through this movie but when The Guardians of the Galaxy started dancing to Dog Days I really lost it,” Welch said in the caption of the video of her joyfully weeping over the scene. “Thank you so much for all the love for this moment. The superhero obsessed little girl in me can’t believe it happened.”
The video has been liked over 520,000 times since it was posted.
Fans of the group’s highest-charting hit were immediately taken.
“Dog Days in Guardians??? This has sold my ticket,” one person said.
“I was not expecting this song at the end, made me cry even more,” another commented.
“I was hysterically sobbing during this scene because they played Dog Days,” someone wrote.
“My daughter tapped me and said ‘mom this song makes you happy, don’t cry!,’” one person gushed.
“Dog Days are Over” was released on the 2009 album “Lungs.”
