When you think of Tony Hawk, who you may have almost recognized at the airport, his many games' incredible soundtracks probably come to mind. The Birdman is a big fan of the punk rock included in those early games, and he covered the original's best song with some help from his famous friends. And no, that song is not "Superman."
The song is "No Cigar" by Millencolin, featured in the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater as well as the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 remake released in 2020. Hawk himself takes lead vocal duties as he skates down the street, with Millencolin lead singer and bassist Nikola Sarcevic taking on background vocal duties. Darrin Pfeiffer, formerly of Goldfinger and currently touring with Punk Rock Karoake, is behind the kit, and pro skater Steve Caballero and Mikey Hawdon both share guitar duty.
