Songs you will forever associate with a particular scene in a TV show

[IntelligentInputDarling]

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

Smash mouth’s All star does as well!

I came to say the same

Did you eat my body butter?
No!
"I schmeared it on a bagel"

Tried to spell it how he said it.

Haven't RTFD but Scarlet Ribbons and the scenes where Nana is dying in the Royle Family. So lovely and so sad.

Too late to apologise by One Republic will forever remind me of the Hills when Spencer and Heidi are driving home after the argument with Lauren at the club

Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana at the final of The Godfather Part III

Running up that Hill, Kate Bush and the scene with Max in Stranger Things

Also, Murder on the Dancefloor, Saltburn

I just think of manuel in fawlty towers playing it with his guitar

Yes to all the Gavin and Stacey songs.
Mine is any song by Nick Cave and the Lightning Seeds…Tommy Shelby, Red Right Hand, always.

Place your hands in This Life when Egg is cooking
Cheryl Lynn Got To Be Real when Carrie falls on the catwalk in SATC
Mazzy Star Fade into you in the OC - I think when Ryan and Marisa get together
Bee Gees More Than a Woman in The Office when Neil and Tim’s girlfriend do a charity dance
Aretha Franklin RESPECT in Bridget Jones when Bridget tells Daniel to shove his job

Will think of more!

All my tears by Ane Brun (Peaky Blinders)
Nights in White satin (Heartbeat)
Waiting for my real life to begin (Scrubs)

I can’t believe none of you West Wing fans have mentioned The Jackal!

The Handmaid’s Tale used music so so well but This Woman’s Work was a stand out scene.

On a completely different tack, Ghost Town by The Specials will forever remind me of Father Ted (please stand for the national anthem).

And it might be a bit off topic, but there’s some music I’ve discovered through TV shows. Scrubs had a couple by Colin James Hay. He was in a couple of episodes, and in another they all sing one of his songs when JD’s favourite patient dies (Waiting For My Life to Begin). More recently, the Alabama Shakes song that plays over the last scene in Fleabag, and the Francis and the Lights song that plays over the first kiss in Nobody Wants This.

Be My Baby, The Ronettes. When David and Maddie got together in Moonlighting.
I Think we’re Alone Now. Tiffany. The dance sequence in Umbrella Academy.
Oasis, Half the World Away.Royce Family and lovely lovely Caroline Aherne.
Practically everything ever performed in Pitch Perfect but especially everything connected to Snoop Dogg’s Christmas album. ‘Groovy Like a drive in movie’ 😂

Oh and speaking of Scrubs, A Little Respect. I think they used the Wheatus cover version?

Love is in the Air always reminds me of the final scene in This Life when Milly smacks Rachel

And obviously Islands in the Stream from the barn dance episode!

That’s a good one.

My Weakness by Moby, in the X-Files episode when they find lots of children's graves and the ghosts of children rise up <sobs>

Definitely agree with the Buffy ones. I loved Michelle Branch’s Goodbye to You and bawl like a baby during that episode in S6. And Full of Grace will only ever be associated with the end of Season 2.

Mambo No 5, in the Royle Family, where Jim and his mate are scraping the wall paper. Classic

Downtown Train, the station scene where Ted first sees the mother in How I Met Your Mother

Have you watched the out-takes reel of that scene? I actually cry with laughter every time I watch it 🤣🤣🤣

”Lyrical dance flap”

More scrubs, Stolen by Dashboard Confessional which is playing when Keith proposes to Elliot.
And Turk singing part of the Safety Dance

That’s mine and DH’s wedding song!
