Jett Klyne sarcastically considered that the Ice Cream song was “cringey”. He said, “‘This is very cringey,’ [I thought the] first time. Julian loved it for some reason.” However, composer Danny Elfman’s contribution to brief the scene emphasized how vital of a role composers have in MCU movies. “We had a recording of the song by him himself…”, said Elfman.

Film scores have been a tone-setter, dictating the emotions of audiences. Even being a cringey song and being an out-of-context song, it turned out to be a crucial moment within the Scarlet Witch’s character arc. The emotional pure-hearted song depicted the motherly encouragement to the boys to sing.
