Driving today and 'Endless Love' plays on the radio, I immediately think of Chandler Bing and Phoebe duetting in Friends.

How to save a life by The Fray - Scrubs when Dr Cox and JD are racing down the corridor to the coding patient.

I was going to say this one too.
Had to skip this episode in my most recent watch through as this scene always makes me cry.

SereneCoralDog · 17/09/2025 17:47

I keep thinking of more 😂

Bittersweet Symphony - the ending of Cruel Intentions

Branleuse · 17/09/2025 17:47

I think of scrubs whenever anyone cranks up the toto

This Woman’s Work in the Handmaids Tale, first episode of series 2.
I don’t usually remember scenes so clearly but that has stayed with me!

This is the one I was looking for. Such a sad episode 🥺

Mozart piano concerto 20 reminds me of the scene in TV series Pride and Prejudice with Mr Darcy (Colin Firth) looking absolutely delicious sitting in his drawing room at Pemberly! (swoon!)

Wannadies- you and me song, Corrie. when Killer Richard drove Gail and the kids into the canal 🤣

theclive · 17/09/2025 17:51

Film not tv but Ain’t No Sunshine by Bill Withers can’t be played without seeing Hugh Grant walking through Portobello market moping after Julia Roberts.

Brothers in Arms, dire straits in The West Wing, Two Cathedrals

edited to add link as it’s just so good I needed to watch it again right now

Perzival · 17/09/2025 17:52

Adolescence- take on me by aha. Completely spoiled that song for me now. I just keep seeing them singing it in that van. I loved that song too.

augustusglupe · 17/09/2025 17:54

Moon River - SATC. The scene with Big & Carrie & he says it reminds him of his parents.

TheOtherAgentJohnson · 17/09/2025 17:55

Love Is In The Air

This Life - Milly socking Rachel full in the face, chaos ensuing, Warren arriving: "outstanding".

PatChaunceysFruitCake · 17/09/2025 17:55

You’ve got the love by Candi Staton in the SATC finale.

SeaAndStars · 17/09/2025 17:55

Oasis Don't Look Back in Anger during the final scene of Our Friends in the North. Still have shivers down my spine now.

My DH and I still laugh about that "outstanding" every time Jason Hughes is on TV. Totally brilliant series and absolutely of the moment.

MoonlightMemories · 17/09/2025 17:58

Celebration by Kool and The Gang - the scene in Friends when Ross is trying to play it on his Bagpipes for Monica & Chandler's wedding and is giving them an example of his "playing".

MsFelicityLemon · 17/09/2025 17:59

Surprisingly few it seems going by this thread. Just one came to mind for me - Can't Help Falling in Love = The Snapper.

Also a few in The Commitments.

TyroleanKnockabout · 17/09/2025 18:02

Lacking the emotional resonance of some of these, but Here Comes the Hotstepper and Car Share. We all sing the alternative lyrics in this house.

SigmundinaCafe · 17/09/2025 18:05

Both from The Sopranos:

Boston - More than a Feeling, when Tony Soprano has a funny turn at the golf club and dramatically collapses

Foreigner - Don't Stop Believin, in the closing final scene of the entire series. Perfection.

Chasing Cars in Grey's Anatomy.

This is one of my favourite songs but Grey's Anatomy used it so often (including the 'musical' episode, it nearly ruined it for me).
