Songs that remind you of your favorite shows... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I don't know how weird this is (I do it all the time, so it's probably pretty weird), but I'll put it up for discussion anyway.

There are certain songs for me that trigger memories of TV shows, characters, or movies whenever I hear them. Now there are songs that I can't even listen to anymore without thinking of their Hollywood counterparts.

I think something like this has been done on the Cheers board, because I remember somebody bringing up a song that fit Sam and Diane's relationship perfectly. I think it might be fun to come up with some more for other shows. *crosses fingers*

Just about every song that has been used on The Wonder Years reminds me not only of the show, but of the scene in which it was played.

barwars · 03-06-2004, 08:58 PM

Well obviously.... the themesong.

For "Seinfeld".... a song by Green Day called "Good Ridance"

For "Cheers" -- "The Magnificent Seven" theme, any song by the Righteous Brothers (i think thats what they're called)

Blueberry Hill- Happy Days

High Hopes- LaVerne and Shirley

The song Petula Clark sang, right, Ant-Lox?

No Doubt's "Don't Let Me Down" always reminds me of SBTB, I don't know why though.

A Horse with No Name - Reminds me of "NewsRadio" because it was Dave's favorite song. In an episode he gives a tape recorder to Bill, and Bill pushes play, and it's Dave singing that song. Dave then grabs the tape recorder and says, "Let's get you a fresh tape."

Here Comes the Sun - Not a sitcom, but when I hear this song I always think of the Tim Daly "Fugitive" series. They used this song in an episode, so I always link the song to the series.

Moon River - I don't hear it much, but it always reminds me of "Wings" because it was Lowell's favorite song. In like four episodes, Lowell can be found singing it.

Obsession - I guess that's the name of the song - I always think of "Get a Life." Because it was used in an episode where Chris falls in love with a woman, and then stalks her.

Yup, it's by Petula Clark. Who else?

Wooly Bully reminds me of Moonlighting.

Curtis Armstrong (Booger) sang it at the end of a short ML episode to kill time.

One of the best renditions I've ever heard.

david&maddie4ever · 03-07-2004, 08:56 PM

Along the same lines, whenever I hear "Be My Baby" by the Ronettes, I think of Moonlighting. That was the song playing in "The Big Bang Scene," or, for those of you not familiar with the show, the scene in which Dave and Maddie "do it."

The song "Old Time Rock & Roll" reminds me of "The Nanny" b/c Niles was caught dancing in his underwear to it hehe. Every time I hear that song I start to laugh remembering that scene!

Dolly Parton had a version of "Downtown" in 1984.

At least three songs remind me of certain Daria episodes:

"What Do You Want From Me?" by Monaco, which was played during Daria's brief attempt to dress like Quinn in "Quinn the Brain." Seems like standard power-pop, but that's okay with me.

"Everlong," by Foo Fighters, which ran in the episode "Lane Miserables" when Daria saw Trent drive off with Monique. I frequently find it depressing as a result.

"Drive" by Incubus, which was one of two closing themes of the second TV-Movie and series finale "Is It College Yet?" I've actually appreciated that song much more since then.

I wish I could think of other songs that remind me of other shows, but I'll live.
