It is widely regarded that the crackerjack team of Supernatural writers do a bang-up job of finding just the right music to play at just the right time . . . but after watching the show, I find myself saying to myself. . .

"Self. Wouldn't it have been awesome if that song would have played instead? I would have guffawed for days. Days I tell ya!"

For example. . .

At the end of the episode of 'Crossroad Blues' our boys are driving off into the moonlight, having just discovered that DearJohn was currently burning in hell. Sam was whining and Dean was being all tormented. During this dialogue, they were listening to the blues. (Makes sense.) However, would you have not laughed your ass off if, instead of guitar, our boys heard Kurt Cobain singing this?

Now the people cry and the people moan
And they look for a dry place to call their home
And try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils try to make them their own.

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly.
They go down to the lake of fire and fry.
Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July.

(karasu, after writing this, I thought of you and your love for John and laughed even harder.)

In the episode 'Playthings', when Tyler's playing tea-party, right before the 2nd guy dies, she's humming . . . something. Maybe just nonspecific random notes. But how cool would it have been if she was singing this instead?

We shall not, we shall not be moved.
We shall not, we shall not be moved.
Just like a tree that's standing by the water
We shall not be moved.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I'm going straight to hell.

One more and I'm done.

We all agree that when Bob Dylan cruised onto the soundtrack with "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" in the episode Houses of the Holy, we cherished it wholeheartedly. (But it was way to loud. Should of toned that down a tad, guys.) Nonetheless, I would have had to pick myself up off the floor if the Supernatural team would have played George Michael instead.

Baby.
I know you're asking me to stay.
Say please, please, please, don't go away.
You say I'm giving you the blues.
Maybe
You mean every word you say.
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules.

Before this river
Becomes an ocean.
Before you throw my heart back on the floor.
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion.
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more.

Yes I've gotta have faith. Faith. Faith. Faith.
I've gotta have faith. Faith. Faith – ahh.

I know I can't be the only one who thinks in comic quips. Anyone else have a "Dude! They should have played ___!" moment?

. . . . . . . . .

Rules?

The rules are that you have to replace one song with another . . . not just pop one in at random.

It makes it a lot harder that way.

If not, I'd have Sam singing to the vampires in 'Bloodlust' Bugs Bunny's "Na na na nee - na na na nah. Na na na nee na nah. Abraca-pocus" just to see if they'd turn into vampire heads with bat wings.

[lynzibell]

This seems like fun!
How about after Metallicar is fixed instead of playin "Back in Black" they played The Offspring's "Pretty Fly for a White Guy"?

[Blucasbabe]

During the big sex scene in "Route 666" they could've played Prince's Gett Off instead of She Brings Me Love.

[Beanster]

Hah! How 'bout "F*ck Her Gently" by Tenacious D?

They could also have used "Bad Touch" by the Bloodhound Gang, or, despite the fact that it did not occur during the afternoon, "Afternoon Delight," by Starland Vocal Band.

Additionally, instead of "Bad Moon Rising" in Devil's Trap/In My Time of Dying, they could have used "The Final Countdown" by Europe ;)

ETA That although there is no music in the fight scene in Skin, "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen could be effective. And a shout-out to Shaun of the Dead.

[ToungeInCheek]

Shaun of the Dead!?!

Acid Penguins, I love you.

Never tested it, but I could probably quote every word of that blessed movie . . . and The Princess Bride . . . and Mallrats . . . and . . . well, I'd better stop now before I completely out myself as the total geek that I am.

. . . . . .

In the episode Tall Tales, the writers came close with 'Lady in Red'. Real close.

However . . .

Don't anybody wake me if this is a dream
'cause she is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
All you fellas you can look all you like
But this girl you see, she's leaving with me tonight.

And there's just one more thing I need to know
If this is love then why does it scare me so?
Must be something only you can see
But girl, I feel it when you look at me.

So tonight I'll ask the stars above
How did I ever win your love?
What did I do, what did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?

. . . would of left me out of breath rolling on the floor.

Because those eyes that "alien" was sportin were just so damn huge, how could you not think of that song?

ETA: Because now I've got the movie PCU going through my brain d/t the "Afternoon Delight," by Starland Vocal Band reference. Anybody else remember that movie?

We have approximately 3,000 different threads devoted to music. Justify this one, please.

[ToungeInCheek]

I thought I made this topic diverse from the others; different enough to justify its own thread.

If I failed and this modest smidgen of amusement should be categorized under something else, please let me know.

In the meantime . . .

Salvation's opening montage? Yes. She is perfect.

Starting with "The Road So Far." and ending when it cuts to black; and sweet Jesus Kansas's 'Carry On' nailed it.

But would you not laugh till you were on the verge of passing out if Green Day's 'Basket Case' played instead?. . .

"Do you have the time to listen to me whine about nothing and everything all at once?" Clips of the Winchesters prior to bad stuff – Augh! Mom's on the ceiling and she's on fire! "I am one of those melodramatic fools neurotic to the bone no doubt about it." All the Winchester males run out of their humble abode (which is now made even more humble by the fact that's currently going up in flames) and now they're looking all sad. "Sometimes I give myself the creeps. Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me." Dean tells Sam Dad's gone and asks for his assistance. Gun porn. Dean's popping up out of the pond with Lucas. Sam swings the iron poker at PsychoPaintingGirlGhost. Sam whining to Dean. Jess's tombstone. Sam sees Meg in the bar. Meg's crazyness. Dean turns female, "Dad?" Guys hugs abound. "It all keeps adding up. I think I'm cracking up!" Dean and Sam walk up to a church. John explains that all this time there's been a gun that could have killed the TheDemon, but because he didn't see eye to eye with the hunter who owned it, he's never told Dean and Sam about it. "Am I just paranoid?" John kills the vampire holding Sam. "Or I'm just stoned?" Guys are running, the Metallicar, Dean shooting a rifle. Scary ghost stuff. "I went to a shrink to analyze my dreams." Poor Sam grips his poor pain-filled, vision-filled head. Super close up of – his eye? (What?). UnfortunateJess is burning on the ceiling again. "She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down!" Sam tells Dean what he should have told him from day one. (My nightmares have a tendency of coming true.) Jess is standing on a street corner in a sexy lingerie gown (bow chicka bow wow) "I went to a whore. He said my life's a bore so quit my whining cause it's bringing her down." Dean wakes Sam up. Bunch of shoot-um-up scenes. Very dramatic lighting as the guys look enthralled by something. John has a midlife crisis/emptynest syndrome breakdown and confesses that even though he absolutely doesn’t want his sons around, perhaps the only way that he's ever gonna kill Mary's killer is with their help. Damnit. "Sometimes I give myself the creeps. Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me. It all keeps adding up. I think I'm cracking up. Am I just paranoid? Or I'm just stoned?" Cut to black.

[efh]

They should have totally played Air Supply's Even The Nights Are Better during the Route 666 sex scene.

[ToungeInCheek]

In the episode Born Under a Bad Sign, during the 'GetTheDemonOutOfSam' scene . . . instead of the ominous music playing in the background, Offspring's 'You Got to Keep Em Separated' should have been jamming.


It goes down the same as the thousand before.
No one's getting smarter.
No one's learning the score.
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own...

Hey! - Man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out!
You gotta keep 'em separated.

Hey! - Man you disrespecting me?
Take him out!
You gotta keep 'em separated.

[ToungeInCheek]

Because Sam and TheDemonFormallyInsideMeg needed to be separated.

Hee.

Re: The sex scene in Route 666 and the music thereof . . .

This was so very painful to watch. Forcing chemistry between two actors when it just ain't happening is wrong, wrong, wrong. Nothing good comes of it. In this case, this 'nothing good' happened to include a rather awkward moment of groping, sloppy kisses, and two individuals who absolutely had no idea what to do with their hands.

Again, it's not the actors in question. When there's no spark between people, there's just no spark. Can't help it.

The only way this scene would be funny (ToMe!) would be if the background music would acknowledge this fact . . . that there's nothing between them but sweat (and, perhaps, other body fluids).

Acid Penguins said it best. The Bloodhound Gang's 'Bad Touch' would be perfect.

You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel.
(Do it again now.)
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel.
(Gettin' horny now.)

ETA: Reader beware! Once that song gets in your head, it stays there for days.

Since we can't seem to figure out what Dean's ringtone is, I think it is just something their music guy made up. It would be so much more awesome if it was "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer:

"Stop! Hammer time!

Go with the flow it is said
If you can't move to this then you probably are dead
So wave your hands in the air
Bust a few moves run your fingers through your hair
This is it for a winner
Dance to this and you're gonna get thinner
Now move slide your rump
Just for a minute let's all do the romp"


I not sure if it would be replacing music (and thus following the rules), but the Cookie Monster spoof of Limp Bizkit's "Nookie" would go awesomely after the following exchange in Asylum:
Sam: What Dad "wants" doesn't matter!
Dean: You see that? That attitude there? That's why I always got the extra cookie.
*Cue music*
I did it all for the cookie
Mmmm
The cookie
Mmmm
The cookie
Mmmm
And me can take a cookie and stick it in my YUM
Stick it in my YUM
Stick it in my YUM

[ToungeInCheek]

Actually, I would have preferred the Cookie Monster song that I grew up with . . .

C is for cookie, that's good enough for me.
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me.
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me – Oh!
Cookie. Cookie. Cookie starts with C.

Because what was 'good enough' for WeeDean was playing the role of the ego between father (id) and brother (super-ego). And – you know – cookies.
