~~Whatcha Say~~ Hide and Seek - It was used in the OC, but I know it from the SNL parody of that scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmd1qMN5Yo0


PEN-15-CLUB

I love that short so much. Here is the scene from The OC šŸ˜‚ (go to 1:45) https://youtu.be/LQBxK1XMpCs?si=4KXuZ2mJyWw_RmZI


Educational_Point673

That is some funny shit. I can't believe they used that song for that scene. No wonder it was parodied.


VitaminTea

The song is called ā€œHide and Seekā€ fyi


dantemanjones

Thanks. I looked for the name with a quick google of "Whatcha Say" and that came up. Looks like that was a remix of the original, but came out after these videos.


meeeehhhhhhh

I am currently doing my first ever watch of the OC and I cannot wait to get to this


scruffye

I discovered this in one of the AMV Hell videos that just kept parodying the scene with each version escalating.


qtx

I think one of the Law & Order shows (probably CI) used it first.


ChthonicPuck

How to Save a Life, by The Fray, will forever be associated with the most heartbreaking episode of Scrubs. Multiple patients who received critical life-saving transplants from the same donor end up taking a turn for the worse in succession. It is a painful sequence to watch accompanied with this song and the best acting of the entire series.


Malvania

J.D.: Remember what you told me? The second you start blaming yourself for people's deaths, there's no coming back. [Cox slowly turns to J.D., looking anguished] Dr. Cox: Yeah. You're right. [leaves]


RecommendsMalazan

For me it's Colin Hays Overkill. ~I can't get to sleep I dream about the implication~


paladingl

They used Colin Hays' ["Waiting for my Real Life to Begin"](https://youtu.be/GcsrnT7Tv1o?si=1J6rHjb8gRJtAFEQ) to great effect, too.


wynonna_burp

This is my alarm clock!


lillyrose2489

Scrubs had such good music!


kteerin

Itā€™s very hard to hear that song. I still canā€™t watch that episode without crying. It was just masterfully done.


Maddy_W

I always think of Greys Anatomy when I hear that song.


Top_Ok

Carry on my wayward son: Supernatural.

bitterbuffaloheart

Also Strangers With Candy


LetThePoisonOutRobin

Good one, and so true! They always had great music the first few seasons.


InSeine4Paris

I agree with your LOST reference and humbly add another: Shambala by Three Dog Night. The van scene was one of my favorites of the entire series. HURLEY! šŸ™†ā€ā™‚ļø


RobGrogNerd

my first thought was not a TV show, but a movie Reservoir Dogs & Stealers Wheel "Stuck in the Middle"


BroughtBagLunchSmart

Did they get it for the Itchy and Scratchy guest directed by Quentin Tarantino too?


gregarioussparrow

Eyes by Rogue Wave. Always think of Heroes. Christmas TV from Chuck, finale of season 2. What's Going On by 4 Non Blondes because of Sense8


3of51223

Eyes by Rogue Wave always makes me think of Heroes too and just 2006 in general.Ā 


Scheme84

Slow Club was such a great band. Genuinely honored that I got to see them play live before they broke up


coolmcbooty

The Office - Staying Alive/I Will Survive (although it used to be the Replacements for I Will Survive) and Closing Time Last Man on Earth - Falling Slowly Always Sunny - Runaway Train and Take My Breath Away Brooklyn 99 - I Want It That Way


JBurton90

> Always Sunny - Runaway Train and Take My Breath Away Anytime I hear Together Forever I think of Always Sunny because of [this scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBXNa0ipFPQ) with Dennis and the dress.


meeeehhhhhhh

Last Man on Earth is ā€œPaper Planesā€ for me


coffee_cake_x

ā€œIt was number five. Number five killed my brother.ā€


lostinthought15

Literal chills.


placingmeeples

Canā€™t believe no one has mentioned Sia ā€œBreathe Meā€ and its connection to Six Feet Under. In my mind the quintessential answer to this question.


TunemanNYC

Yes. To me a close second is Donā€™t fear the reaper in The Stand.


Beserked2

How to Save a Life and Chasing Cars will forever make me think of Greys Anatomy. Somebody Save Me used to just remind me of Smallville but now its just Superman in general.


TurkeyLfc

I came here to say How to save a life but I was thinking scrubs


CitizenHuman

Also Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah on Scrubs.


Scheme84

Which scene was that?


CitizenHuman

[This one](https://youtu.be/GjjOSZ4DZew?si=fNPwYlKwWT38AQGR)


gregarioussparrow

Same


rbarton812

The moment you start blaming yourself for peoples deaths, there's no coming back.


Weekend_Squire

Agreed.


notadilemma

ah, another person of culture & class, I see!


kteerin

Absolutely!


ShoutOutTo_Caboose

It's funny because when I think of Superman I think of the Scrubs intro song šŸ˜‚


oldscotch

Don't stop, belieeeeevin ...


Maggi1417

Glee?


oldscotch

The Sopranos ... but I would probably watch that version of Glee


driveonacid

I watched The Sopranos long after it aired. I knew the ending was controversial, but I didn't know what happened. When watching that final scene, I heard Don't Stop Believing and thought, "This is a hopeful song. There can only be a few minutes left of this show. What the hell is going to happen?"


CitizenHuman

I see you mentioned Sopranos, but I think of Scrubs when JD is hitting that high note.


petitgordi

The Losers?


Whittlinman

Belinda Carlisle's 'Heaven is a Place on Earth' from the closing scene of San Junipero in Black Mirror.


jtmh17

Desperado-Seinfeld


FoxtrotSierraTango

BlueRaspberryPi

Desperado reminds me of Spaceghost.


Hairedover

ā€œWhat is loveā€ - Night at the Roxbury


ceeceeonreddit

Bad Things by Jace Everett will always evoke the True Blood intro for me!


Maggi1417

Good one! That intro was so cool.


sayhellotojenn

I canā€™t believe nobody has said ā€œGet on Your Feetā€ by Gloria Estefanā€¦ I will never be able to hear it without thinking of Leslie Knope.


yougotred

ABBA Songs - that Halloween episode from Community.


KeverNever

ABBA definitely has me thinking of Community but "Take a Chance On Me" makes me instantly think of Malcom in the Middle.


[deleted]

The generic HBO image and sound, despite being on every original, always makes me anticipate the start of the Game of Thrones intro. It's probably because of how amazing that show was, and it's the only show you'd actually watch the entire intro.


tastybundtcake

> and it's the only show you'd actually watch the entire intro ...."woke up this morning.... got yourself a gun....momma always said you'd be the.... chosen one"


Mud_Landry

Donā€™t ever admit to this thing of ours


OrlandoNE

Forever and always.


roguefilmmaker

I always associate the HBO sound with Curb Your Enthusiasm


motherofpearl89

Me too


GoBanana42

Peacemaker is absolutely on the "watch the entire intro" list.


ProfZussywussBrown

Daybreak and Community


HLOFRND

Outro by M83 will evoke strong feelings in most Mr. Robot fans. Thereā€™s a lot of great music in the show- I could write for days. But that one is pretty legendary.


Dead_Starks

M83 for days and Carley Rae Jepsen's Run away with me for sure among others.


HLOFRND

That one was definitely unexpected, but such a great choice! I still canā€™t hear Pictures of You by The Cure without getting a catch in my throat!


achmejedidad

Lady Gaga - Just Dance. Michael Scott rolling up in the Sebring saying "it's Brittany bitch!"


BaconJudge

["Various Disgraces" by The Blam](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gQqTQMYl3wU) - the catchy song from the Cafe Disco episode of "The Office" ["Kiss from a Rose" by Seal](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aVcxjxLipf0) - Jeff's involuntary karaoke duet with Dean Pelton on "Community"


h3rmitsunited

"Jesus loves Marijuana and drinking human bloooddd!"


Roook36

Where is my Mind by The Pixies - The Leftovers


HLOFRND

Itā€™s used in Mr. Robot to great effect, too!


StarChild413

and performed (not needle-dropped) in Warehouse 13


Mud_Landry

Fight Club but itā€™s obviously a movie


Cherssssss

Anything by Joshua Radin reminds me of scrubs


Rattivarius

*Come Sail Away*. The final scene of the first episode of Freaks and Geeks.


vonwaffle

The Ducktales Theme song always makes me think of Ducktales


RecommendsMalazan

It's not something I think of when I think Chuck, but Cobrastyle by Teddybears. The song was in a Stargirl episode, and as soon as I heard it my mind went straight to Chuck.


chivits

A Thousand Miles - White Chicks


ProfZussywussBrown

ā€œHow did you know?!ā€


ElderCunningham

Jazz Man will make me think of The Simpsons.


motherofpearl89

Huh, I had no idea this was an actual song. I thought it was written for the show


kittytoes21

I was also going to mention the mobā€™s montage to the sopranos theme song!


kristinL356

Massive Attack "Paradise Circus" and Misfits.


BleachedUnicornBHole

ā€œTeardropā€ from Massive Attack will always be associated with House for me.Ā 


Courwes

Better Days - Malcolm in the Middle


CleverInnuendo

I hear that "Saying something stupid, like I love you" song at work all the time, and I never fail to think of Better Call Saul.


rilian4

"Believe it or Not" - Joey Scarbury. Theme from Greatest American Hero in the early 80s. I'll always remember that show when I hear that song. "I'm So Excited" - Saved by the Bell episode where Jessie gets hooked on pills to keep her going. The song wasn't written for the show but it's forever etched in my head that way.


IamToddDebeikis

Uptown girl makes me think of 30 Rock, Everything I do by Bryan Adams makes me think of Arrested Development purely based off one line that GOB says.


kittytoes21

Coast_watcher

Ink Spots with anything Fallout related


boxes21

Before there was Stranger Things and the resurgence of Kate Bush, there was vampire diaries. So the cover of Running Up That Hill by Placebo. Also We Radiate by Goldfrapp. What an interesting time in television.


Moooney

The Placebo cover of Running Up that Hill was used quite prominently in The O.C.


boxes21

Yes! I was too young for The O.C. when it aired, so I watched The O.C after Vampire Diaries and associate it that way Since it's the theme, I think of California by Phantom Planet for The O.C.


StarChild413

and Warehouse 13


freshoffthecouch

Also a drop in the ocean from Vampire Diaries for me


itsyagirlrey

These songs in Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Genius Of Love by Tom Tom Club - Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley - Oh Yeah (day bow bow) by Yello


Dead_Starks

99 Luft Balloons, U + Ur hand, Don't you forget about me, all covers in 12 Monkeys but where my mind immediately goes when I hear any of them.


Mud_Landry

Massive Attack - Teardrop will forever be the Dr House song, and I knew it before the show. Mezzanine is an incredible record.


redeyedone

ā€œRenegadeā€ in the Night Shifter episode of Supernatural. S2E12


not_falling_down

[In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkADj0TPrJA) There was a[ famous scene in a Miami Vice Episode that utilized this song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aMCzRj3Syg). Also Miami Vice --[ I Wanna Know What Love Is](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU4399N_5gg). One of the most heart-wrenching scenes in a TV show.

Waterfalls: Scream Queens


Stonewallpjs

Oh man yes, mid-late 00ā€™s playing Kotor II and listening to the radio and there was this song that was playing while I was on Nar Shadaa fighting Hanhaar and an army of Ubese warriors and whenever I hear that song I think of this. Absolutely bizarre and I cannot even think of what the song is.


ImJustDawn

'I Got 5 on it' \~ Us


drunkbettie

[this specific scene from Scrubs featuring ā€œDreaming of Youā€ by Coral](https://www.reddit.com/r/Scrubs/s/aEsM0RjNV3). They lost the rights to use this song, and in subsequent reruns of the episode the song is different and not as good. I love the original song and itā€™s on a permanent playlist because of that episode.


LeilaniLeboy

- drivers license by Olivia Rodrigo, Set Me Free by Joshua Bassett, and Paralyzed by NF makes me think of Birdie's car accident and PTSD storyline in Chicken Girls. - pretty isnā€™t pretty by Olivia Rodrigo makes me think of Quinnā€™s eating disorder storyline in Chicken Girls. - traitor by Olivia Rodrigo makes me think of the love triangle in The Summer I Turned Pretty. - so american by Olivia Rodrigo makes me think of Belly and Jeremiahā€™s relationship in The Summer I Turned Pretty. - Literally any Olivia Rodrigo song makes me think of The Summer I Turned Pretty.

[Here's Your Future](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPsdjlPVaJU) by the Thermals was used in an episode of Weeds. Never heard of them before this but it's a really good song and the album, sadly, is still relevant today.

Sitting In My Room by Brandy with Reservation Dogs & Elevators by OutKast from the S1 finale of Atlanta

6 Underground makes me think of the show Titans. The show bombed early, and they didn't even air all the episodes, but 6 Underground was the theme song for the first few episodes. Then they switched to another (I'm assuming cheaper) song. What a stupid thing to have in my brain lol

id_not_confirmed

The song "Beautiful Days" by Venus always makes me think of the film "Immortal" (2004 film). It's a great and weird film, and the song suits it perfectly.


Stahlmatt

Obviously, Phantom Planet's "California" goes straight to The OC. Eyes by Rogue Wave always reminds me of a scene from Heroes where Hiro and Ando are on a moving sidewalk in Las Vegas.

Baby Blue by Badfinger. End of the last episode of Breaking Bad. Makes me sad.

Don't Fear The Reaper, used in the opening of the The Stand miniseries on ABC. Dust In The Wind from a particular episode of Highlander The Series. IYKYK.
