The track listing for “Deadpool & Wolverine” is as follows:

As one might intuit, several of those songs are likely included for ironic reasons. No one on the planet, not even Chris de Burgh, likes the song “The Lady in Red,” and the makers of “Deadpool & Wolverine” likely included it to punctuate a sexy scene of, well, a literal lady in red. Trailers have confirmed that Lady Deadpool will appear in the film, and she may very well be the Lady in Red.
Ditto “Angel of the Morning,” the 1981 Juice Newton version of which was featured in the original “Deadpool.” The Merilee Rush version above is a 1968 cover of the 1967 original by Evie Sands. It would have been more appropriate to have included Vagiant’s 2009 punk cover.
