Wow, they went all out on buying songs for this show (at least the pilot). What's up with not giving song credits *ANYWHERE*?
I recognized these songs:
Mr Blue Sky - ELO
Fly Me to The Moon - Astrud Gilberto
I Met a Girl - Wheat
But there was one other song that was sung by a male and was kinda mellow. I think it was used a while ago in a Volkswagon Jetta commercial.
Any ideas?
Television shows dont usually give song credits. Its not like film credits.

"Television shows dont usually give song credits. Its not like film credits."
Usually TV shows don't have much if anything to credit, but in this case LAX definitely went shopping for some pricey songs. Money well spent if you ask me, but then they didn't follow through on the backend by promoting the songs featured on the show.
Take a look at The OC. Regardless of what you think of the show, it's a great way for many of us to discover new music. The music is a major reason why I even watch that show. If LAX continues with the quality music, I'll probably continue watching it as well.
The OC markets the hell out of the music, and it's not the first. Many shows featuring that level of music not only show the credits but show video clips at the end of the show. Nowadays it's very common to have shows list music credits on the Website or at least make sure they're posted *somewhere*...this goes all the way back to Miami Vice...they didn't show music credits on the show, but gave the info to USAToday before the show aired. Thus the newspaper promoted the show each week when it listed the music to be played.
Kevine-4: I agree completely. The song selection was excellent. And the producers/network are doing themselves a disservice by not listing them somewhere.
The show is shot well enough, and the music has been good enough to keep me interested.
I think the song that played as Blair Underwood first walked into the airport (in this pilot episode) is Mercy, Mercy, Baby by Ray Baretto, which I found thru an internet search on the lyrics. If it turns out to be the one, I will probably buy it if I can find it!
shareDo you know the song played during the Orphan Plane? Thanks!
shareI thought there were two during the Orphan Plane scenes....I'm not sure about the one were the guy was singing, but the moody music with the symphony was Deane Ogden. He's one of the composers for the show. He also does music for CSI New York, which I'm dying to see!
shareYeah that didn't make much sense to me either, but it is hollywood. They are in a fairy land. Do you know the theme song?
shareIs the song you are talking about towards the end of the episode because I thought it sounded like the lead singer from Toad the Wet Sprocket? I don't know for sure and I've been searching around but found nothing.
What about the theme song?
Is it a real song or was it especially made to be the theme song? I thought it was the same song that was playing on the Eternal Sunshine (staring Nic Cage) DVD commercial, but I can't find any song called Eternal Sunshine.
Ah HA!!! Found my own answer...Electric Light Orchestra - Mr. Blue Sky
shareNic Cage? you mean Jim CarreyMANNY PERRY MAKES MOVIES!!!.
anybody knows the song when Heather & Clair were standing near the steps kissing? or other song in that same episode is fine.
thanks
