Songs that make you think of ML... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There are certain songs out there that seem to reflect the relationship of Maddie and Dave perfectly...songs that make me think of ML and the great chemistry between the two leads every time I hear them.

One of my favorites is a country song performed by American Idol's Josh Gracin. It's called "Endless Helpless Hoping." Here are the lyrics:

Let me understate how I adore
How I admire and more
And walk a hole in the floor
Like a fast freight train
Screamin' through the dark
Makin' a penny of my heart
And that's just where it starts

Chorus:
My lonely nights turn to days
My lonely days turn to how my life is goin'
Endless, helpless hoping
I can dream and I can believe
But you're the only one who can
Heal this heart that's broken
Endless, helpless hoping

All the words I write just don't impress
They don't leave my desk
And like me, it's a mess
I try to tell you
But you tell me that you're my friend
How could I let that end?
So I just let you love him

(Chorus)

Now I know how a widow
Staring at the sea feels
Waitin' for a ship to come home
Waitin' there all alone

(Chorus)

If you have a song that makes you think of ML, please let me know what it is, and post the lyrics if you can.

BTW: This is the Moonlighting board's 100th thread! Yay for us!

Here's another one. It's called "Crazy for this Girl" by Evan and Jaron. Here are the lyrics:

She rolls the window down
And she
Talks over the sound
Of the cars that pass us by
And I don't know why
But she's changed my mind

Chorus:
Would you look at her
She looks at me
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And as she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured it out
I'm crazy for this girl
I'm crazy for this girl

She was the one to hold me
The night
The sky fell down
And what was I thinking when
The world didn't end?
Why didn't I know what I know now?

(Chorus)

Right now
Face to face
All my fears
Pushed aside
And right now
I'm ready to spend the rest of my life
With you

(Chorus 2x)

I guess I don't connect any songs that weren't used in the show with David and Maddie. I've seen some mentioned that seem to have lyrics that fit, but that doesn't really work for me. The actual music of the show is what I most associate with them. Most especially, Be My Baby, Since I Fell for You, and This Old Heart of Mine.

kismet · 08-10-2004, 11:08 PM

I agree with CyBr (again).
When I think of music and Moonlighting, I think of the songs that were on the show that meant so much to me.

Since I Fell For You
Be My Baby
It's In His Kiss (Shoop Shoop Song, I believe)
When A Man Love A Woman
Blue Moon
Crazy
Respect
Stormy Weather
Someone To Watch Over Me
I Told You I love You, Now Get Out
...

CyBr · 08-11-2004, 06:13 AM

Oh yeah! These are all great! I can picture the scene(s) for each of them in my mind. The music they chose was always so perfect which is why it would be a shame if any of it is replaced or not included in the DVDs.

Carina13 · 08-11-2004, 08:28 AM

Ohh I love all that songs and of cuorse that they make me think about ML. And there are two more here:

The "Limbo" song (my mom and I always sing it, I love it, I always remember Dave singing it)

Baby love (well, I don't really know the name of the song but it's from The supremes, the one that Maddie and David are dancing with in a Womb with a view. But It's a sad memory, really

)

kismet · 08-11-2004, 09:52 AM

Oooh Carina, when I hear those two songs, I think of ML everytime. I thought the music chosen for Moonlighting was terrific. Was Glenn in charge of music selection?

Tazmania · 08-11-2004, 12:46 PM

I love moonlighting's music!
each song was perfect for each scene!

what about Patti Labelle: If you only knew
Ray Charles: We'll be together again
(sad but beautiful!)
Stevie Wonder: I was made to love her
Anita Baker: Sweet love

And ofcourse the Moonlighting Theme by Al Jarreau (still one of my all time favourites! The music and lyrics are perfectly expressing the feel of the show)

I forgot:
Songs that remind of the show are:

Allan Parsons Project: Old and Wise
Gladys Knight: If I were your woman
Charles Aznavour: She

and a couple more........

Dr. Jazz · 08-11-2004, 01:01 PM

Whenver I hear "You Wear it Well" by DeBarge I immediately think of when it was played during the scene of Maddie walking into the casino all dressed up in "Money Talks, Maddie Walks." That one should have been on the ML soundtrack.

kismet · 08-11-2004, 03:25 PM

Same here.

Whenever I hear Honky Tonk Woman, I think of Maddie in The Color Of Maddie.

I think of Cybill, also, because of Memphis in the lyrics.

Yeah it is ....... isn't it? And as this song starts playing..............
I can imagine David sitting behind his desk thinking of Maddie and meanwhile we get to see his thoughts: a slowmo of David and Maddie walking and running around on the beach, then fall in the sand and start to kiss ....... then his office door bangs open and there she is standing in the doorway looking like she did on "The Lady with the Iron Mask".

pfeeeew 'She may be a dream I can't forget.....'

kolchak · 08-13-2004, 01:42 AM

Hi guys,
I think of Moonlighting whenever I hear a motown song. Remember the Temptations singing "Psychedelic Shack"?
Sam Cooke makes me think of Moonlighting...."I leave you all my Sam Cooke records", and the song "Money", from "My Fair David".

And of course songs like "Respect Yourself", "Under the boardwalk", and "Secret agent man", 'cause they were all on "The Return of Bruno".

I'm Lovin' it!!

I can see where you're coming from with that.

For me, Billy Joel is another memory-refresher. Every time I hear one of his songs, I think of Dave. I'm not sure if it's because of "Big Man" or not, but Billy and Bruce have always reminded me of each other. *shrugs*
