“It could be coming from anywhere.” The crazy Lost theories went totally apeshit the day after that episode aired, people all over claiming that the song proved that they were stuck in a time warp from the 40’s. (Funny thing is, they weren’t too far off.) This made my list because Hurley, as usual, was saying what we were all thinking.<\/p>\n 9. Catch a Falling Star<\/a> <\/strong>by Perry Como, first mentioned in “Raised by Another”<\/p>\n It was super cute that Claire wanted the soon-to-be-parents of Aaron to sing him “Catch a Falling Star,” but it was super creepy that the song played on Ethan’s weird Oceanic airplane mobile. <\/p>\n 8. La Mer<\/a><\/strong> by Charles Trenet, heard in “Whatever the Case May Be”<\/p>\n So Danielle’s maps turned out to be useless and Shannon’s French kind of stunk. At least we got to have Maggie Grace serenade us through a lovely musical montage of the Losties on the beach at night.<\/p>\n 7. The Thunderer<\/a><\/strong> by John Phillip Sousa, first heard in “A Tale of Two Cities”<\/p>\n “Hey you got yourself a Fish Biscuit! How’d ya do that?” Nothing beats Sawyer’s “I just got a fish biscuit” dance. <\/p>\n 6. You All Everybody<\/a><\/strong> by Driveshaft, first heard in the Pilot episode<\/p>\n Hurley and his buddy may have called them Suckshaft, but Charlie “I’m a bloody rock god” Pace would have never reached his VH-1 Has-Been status without this song!<\/p>\n 5. Wash Away<\/a><\/strong> by Joe Purdy, heard in “Tabula Rasa”<\/p>\n The very first of many musical montages to come that momentarily make the audience forget that someone most likely got shot\/kidnapped\/blown up\/eaten\/etc. at some point during the last 42 minutes. Usually involves hugging and eating. And Hurley. Adorable.<\/p>\n 4. Walkin’ After Midnight<\/a><\/strong> by Patsy Cline, first heard in “What Kate Did”<\/p>\n “Do they listen to Patsy Cline in Canada?” Well Kate, I don’t know if they listen to Patsy Cline everywhere<\/em>, but you<\/em> would sure think so considering every single time you’re in a vehicle\/store\/house\/ANYWHERE a Patsy Cline song is playing!<\/p>\n 3.\u00c2\u00a0 Are You Sure?<\/a> <\/strong>by Willie Nelson, heard in “House of the Rising Sun”<\/p>\n Please don’t let my tears persuade you I remember the day after this episode aired I scoured the internet looking for a copy of this song because I just HAD to hear it again. It’s a perfect little song, and it conveys all the sadness, uncertainty, and longing to be rescued (or not) that all the Losties were feeling at that moment. <\/p>\n 2.\u00c2\u00a0 Shambala<\/a> <\/strong>by Three Dog Night, heard first in “Tricia Tenaka is Dead”<\/p>\n If you’ve been reading this blog for long enough, you probably know that the van scene of “Tricia Tenaka is Dead” is one of my favorite moments on all of Lost. EVER!!!<\/a> It’s one of the (if not THE) happiest scenes they’ve ever filmed, and Shambala is the perfect song choice. In my mind it totally embodies the Dharma Initiative’s hippy dippy way of seeing the world. (Never mind that it was Roger Linus’s murder soundtrack.)<\/p>\n 1.\u00c2\u00a0 Make Your Own Kind of Music<\/a><\/strong> by Mama Cass, first heard in “Man of Science, Man of Faith”<\/p>\n A record player next to a lava lamp starts (must be a flashback!), a man hits some buttons on an old ass computer (flashback!), he makes some breakfast, gets a bit of exercise on an old ass bike (flashback!), he gets out his Dharma Initiative vaccinate to inject himself, the INTRUDER ALERT alarm goes crazy…wait, WHAT!? <\/p>\n The Season 2 opener was awesome because it totally hoodwinked us in that way Lost does. I love that Desmond blared this song to discombobulate Jack when he came looking for Locke and Kate, and I love that he heard it during his little time traveling episode in “Flashes Before Your Eyes.” Love it.<\/p>\n Runners Up:<\/strong><\/p>\n Hurley’s Walkman batteries running out during Damien Rice’s Delicate<\/a><\/strong>: What good are desert island albums if you can’t actually listen <\/em>to them?<\/p>\n Charlie’s “Living is easy with eyes closed” Strawberry Fields Forever<\/a><\/strong> tattoo: Awesome. I also love the fact that when he’d count he’d say, “One sugarplum fairy, two sugarplum fairy” which was something John Lennon used to do before starting a song.<\/p>\n Sawyer gives Kate a Phil Collins<\/a> tape<\/strong> to get in her pants: I guess that’s what you do when you don’t have any Monster Ballads.<\/p>\n Ben playing Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C# Minor<\/a><\/strong> on the piano: Just working on the lonely supervillain image.<\/p>\n Desmond, Charlie, Hurley and Jin whistling the “Colonel Bogey March<\/a><\/strong>” ala Bridge on the River Kwai: Could not be cuter.<\/p>\n Jack listening to both Nirvana<\/a> <\/strong>and The Pixies<\/a><\/strong> on the way to the funeral parlor: That beard is still funny, as is Jack’s apparent penchant for rocking out to grunge. I’d take Jack for more of a John Mayer type of guy.<\/p>\n

\n10. Moonlight Serenade<\/a><\/strong> by The Glenn Miller Orchestra, heard in “The Long Con”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n“Or any time, dude…just kidding.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n“I figured out your complicated gizmos.”
\n“Only took the bears two hours.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n“They listen to Patsy Cline everywhere.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nYou seem in such a hurry
\nTo lead this kind of life
\nAnd you’ve caused so many pain and misery
\nBut look around you,
\nTake a good look,
\nJust between you and me
\nAre you sure that this is where you want to be?<\/p>\n
\nI had hoped I wouldn’t cry
\nBut lately teardrops seem a part of me
\nBut look around you,
\nAnd take a good look
\nAt the all the local used-to-be’s
\nAnd are you sure that this is where you want to be?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
