You know those songs that get stuck in your head and you can’t get them out anyway? Or those tunes that sound familiar to you, but you don’t know where? Well, many times, the culprit is a television series . These have popularized songs, or have taken songs that are already popular, that we can’t help but jump every few minutes inside our heads. Therefore, here are 7 songs that sound familiar to you because of those television series.
Many times, a song becomes popular because of a series or a series takes advantage of the pull of a melody and includes it, to see if some of that popularity sticks to it. And those are 7 examples of songs that sound familiar to you and the origin is a series.
1. I’ll be there for You – The Rembrandts – Friends
Impossible not to start with one of the most legendary tunes in television history. The group that sings it, The Rembrandts , may not have made it to the top, but their song has.
2. The rains of Castamere – The National – Game of Thrones
When Game of Thrones was good, it aired legendary episodes. One of them was the ninth of the Second Season, titled Aguas Negras , for the battle of the same name. Time magazine said it was the best of the season and GQ said it was television’s best hour of the year.
And it closed with The National ‘s phenomenal version of The Rains of Castamere , a Lannister song that appears throughout the series and that, today, with that unconscious reflex of forgetting the disaster, may sound familiar to you and you don’t know where. . Well now you know.
3. Falling – Angelo Badalamenti – Twin Peaks
The oldest of the place listen to the first unmistakable chords of that song and immediately it sounds to us. Twin Peaks had a lot of memorable (and mind-blowing) things, but one of them is, without a doubt, its unforgettable theme song.
4. Superhero – Jane’s Addiction – Entourage
If you watched the adventures of Vinny Chase and his friends in Hollywood, the song from the beginning will sound familiar to you. Probably one of the best things about the series. His Supehero from him is impossible to get rid of and, if you hear it in the background, it sure sounds familiar to you and you don’t know where.
Well, it’s from here.
5. Red Right Hand – Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds – Peaky Blinders
Nick Cave’s smash hit opens every episode of Peaky Blinders , a series on its way to becoming a classic.
In fact, that episode where the action connects with the song in a masterful way is unforgettable. We do not reveal anything to you in case you have not seen it, you will know what we say.
6. The Who – Won’t get fooled again – CSI: Miami
From that first guitar that opens the song, the tune is unmistakable. It belongs to the mythical The Who , but, above all, it stuck to our brains because of the CSI: Miami series and those sunglasses memes.
7. Teardrop – Massive Attack – House
If Teardrop of the legendary Massive Attack starts playing and you think that you’ve heard those chords before, we wouldn’t be surprised. It was the theme song for one of the most popular series at the time: Dr. House .
A beautiful song, things as they are.
So you see, music and television have had a very fruitful relationship, feeding off each other and helping each other become popular. So now you know, if that song you’re listening to sounds familiar to you, but you don’t know exactly what it’s about, it’s possible that it’s because of a television series.
