A trace of Czech in the new Spider-Man
The world is going to be rescued again, this time with the Czech song Snad jednou ti dám playing in the background. The new Spider-Man will feature, among others, music from the Czechoslovak band The Matadors, which significantly influenced the Prague rock scene in the second half of the 1960s.
