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.

I absolutely loved It's A Sin.
The music was great, but playing Everybody Hurts over the final end credits fell flat (not least because of how hackneyed that song has become).
I think they missed a trick there.
Pet Shop Boys' Being Boring would have worked really well.

Afternoon Delight

Arrested Development and the dawning realisation of how very inappropriate it is!

Simply Red's 'Stars' in the film Jack and Sarah.
Andy Williams' 'Happy Heart' at the end of Shallow Grave.
Liza Minnelli singling 'Single Ladies' at Stamford's wedding in SATC 2.
'All By Myself' in Bridget Jones.
The schoolgirl singling Mariah Carey's 'All I Want for Christmas' in Love Actually (mainly because that was the first time I heard that song - if you can believe that - as it's now unavoidable from November onwards)!

Three Wise Men by James Blunt..Uncle Bryn in the car 🤣

There's a light that never goes out - Doris in G&S. Can't listen to it without smiling

Also Anchorman!

Another movie one -
Time After Time in Romy & Michele's High School Reunion dance 😄

Simply Red ‘If you don’t know me by now’ was playing in Eastenders when Kathy was crying after she was raped by Wilmott Brown. That one has been stuck in my head for 30 odd years.

Same here. It’s a great song too.

Also Sex and the City with Carrie and Stanford at the prom soundtracked by Chicago’s If you Leave Me Now.

For Scrubs fans, the episode of The Middle(featuring the actor who played The Janitor in Scrubs), where they literally played The Middle by Jimmy Eats World.

God yes ..the Heartbeat episode led me to that beautiful song

“Goodbye Toby it’s been nice…” The Office
”I’m a freak…I’m a weirdo…what the hell am I doing here” Superstore

“Everybody’s talking at me. I don’t hear a word they’re saying. Only in the Echos of my mind…” Jolly boys Outing, Only fools and Horses

Holding out for a hero..Shrek..🤣

Gavin & Stacey - Pam singing to the radio at breakfast…Could it be Magic..to drown out Gavin & Stacey bed squeaking antics upstairs 🤣

Film but The Full Monty job centre scene to Hot Stuff

This is a weird one but I always think of Homer and Marge whenever I hear The Carpenters 'Close to You' 😄

2468 Motorway - Jolly Boys Outing OFAH

And, I think from the same episode, there was The Joker by the Steve Miller Band.

Cuddly Toy. Every time I hear it I say “There’s no fog”

That song to me will always be Rick Moranis in Parenthood.

There’s a song in 13 Reasons Why when Clay and Hannah are dancing at their prom. I think it goes something like ‘I had all of you, most of you, some and then none of you…take me back to the night we met.’

That was very powerful in the context of the series although I’ve never heard it since and couldn’t tell you who sung it.

Waterfalls always makes me think of the film 'We're the Millers'

Sounds like the night we met by lord Huron

Will and Grace singing Midnight Train to Georgia with Sandra Bernhardt.

Neil the Baby singing Blackbird at Nessa and Smithy’s wedding.

Got to be real by Cheryl Lynn when Carrie falls over on the runway.

I was in Sainsbury’s the other day and “Step Into Christmas” came on. I actually sniggered out loud as it reminded me of the scene from Gavin and Stacey!
