If you are a TV series fan and have watched a lot of TV series, you know that one of the elements that make a TV series good is definitely the music it has. Don’t get me wrong, we’re not talking about the credits of the series. We’re talking about songs featured in TV shows, sung by characters, or played in an iconic scene.
We came together as the Webtekno team and created a list of the most iconic songs from the TV series and came up with 25 iconic scenes/songs from 18 different TV shows. If you wish, let’s go on a journey that will be nostalgic for you series lovers.
Songs and scenes that we hear and remember in the series:
Supernatural – Carry On Wayward End
Kansas’ Carry On Wayward Son is actually almost 50 years old now and is already legendary. However, the thing that this song has been most associated with, especially in the last 20 years, is undoubtedly Supernatural. It still gives me goosebumps to hear the introduction of this song in every iconic scene of this 15-season series, which tells the story of two brothers hunting supernatural evils.
The Office – I Will Remember You
Every character and almost many scenes of The Office, the first sitcom series made in the ‘Mockumentary’ category, are iconic. However, this may be the most iconic song after the song on the stage where Michael went. This song, which Andy played for the last time to his friends while leaving work to follow his dreams after his adventure as an office manager, is still very sad when you listen to it.
Although the 8th and 9th seasons of The Office are not that much appreciated by the fans, even the conclusion of the love stories of Andy and Erin, Dwight and Angela, and Jim and Pam makes the seasons worth watching. In this final scene of Andy in the office, it can be seen that the characters are not acting, they are really listening as themselves and preparing to say goodbye to the show.
Modern Family – Total Eclipse of The Heart
Modern Family, which follows and perfects the Mockumentary category in the footsteps of The Office and tells us the fun adventure of three families who are outside the society’s standards, we are sure that it brought everyone to tears when it was finished. This song that the whole team sings together in the first episode of Season 9 of the series is one of the memories that every Modern Family fan will remember. It is also special that Jay’s voice is so beautiful.
Friends – Baby Got Back
Friends is probably the first show where everyone embarks on a sitcom adventure. There are so many iconic songs and scenes in the show that it’s hard to choose, but the one that leaves the most smiling face is the song Baby Got Back, which Ross and Rachel sang to their baby Emma to make her laugh. The embarrassment of Ross explaining the situation to Rachel is really hilarious.
Lost – You All Everybody
Lost, which is one of the first TV series that many of us watch, is one of the first TV series that proved that TV series can be shot with big budgets just like movies. The point of the series is not the iconic songs it usually hosts, but we are sure that you will want to start Lost again when you hear Charlie’s band Drive Shaft’s song You All Everybody, which has been played in many seasons and many episodes. You can start your Lost marathon again on Disney Plus.
Lucifer – I Will Survive
Lucifer actually has a series full of Tom Ellis piano recitals and many iconic scenes. The most iconic of these may be the I Will Survive scene in season 3, where Lucifer sings at the club with Axara, who should not normally be there. Tom Ellis’ sweetness on stage is truly legendary.
Stranger Things – Master of Puppets
Stranger Things is known to be a successful production that connects the audience to itself as the leading children grow up with the series, but its characters who join the series every season and stay only during that season are also famous.
In season 4, that character was the charismatic ‘nerd’ Eddie Munson. The scene where he plays the Master of Puppets to keep the bats entertained in the world of Upside Down in the last episode, although newer, has already become one of the most iconic series scenes. In fact, Master of Puppets became the most streamed song on Spotify years later.
Peaky Blinders – Red Right Hand
Peaky Blinders, a series that we can call ‘The Valley of the Wolves of the English’, tells us the inhuman aspects of the industrial revolution through the Shelby family, an illegal organization. We can say that perhaps the most famous song of the series is the song “Red Right Hand”. When this song is played in the series, you can sense that the stage will become legendary.
Sons of Anarchy – Come Join the Murder
It would probably not be wrong to say that one of the biggest reasons people start Sons of Anarchy is because they hear the songs playing in the series here and there. However, when you start watching the series later on, you realize how good the script, direction and acting is. When you listen to the last scene of the already sad Jax with this song, everything gets much worse…
Umbrella Academy – I Think We’re Alone Now
This is many people’s favorite scene in the Netflix original, Umbrella Academy. All siblings dance as if no one is watching, no matter how different they are from each other, even if they grew up separately or had bad experiences. If you have watched the series, you know how hopeful and happy this scene is.
Brooklyn 99 – I Want it That Way
We may have come to the star of this list. Imagine a scene where you want to start the series the moment you see the cut of it on YouTube. Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a TV show where our cute detective Jake Peralta achieves this by having suspects sing I Want It That Way during an interrogation so that the eyewitness can identify the suspect.
Supernatural – Eye of the Tiger
At the beginning of our article, we said that there are different scenes from a TV series. The first one, as you can see, is the Eye of the Tiger scene from Supernatural. Actually, the scene is not directly in the episode, but it is placed behind the camera at the end of the episode. Jensen Ackles’ passionate dance to sing Eye of the Tiger was one of Supernatural’s most iconic and hilarious scenes.
The Office – Country Roads Take Me Home
The fight that Andy and Dwight had for her in the first season of Erin’s character was very sweet. In this episode, while Dwight and Andy play their guitar and banjo by themselves in the dining room, the business turns into a rivalry once again with Erin’s involvement. However, when Dwight and Andy start singing the song together, one of the cutest scenes in The Office emerges.
How I Met Your Mother – This Modern Love
Just like Friends, How I Met Your Mother has scenes with many catchy songs, but the song This Modern Love, which plays when Ted goes in front of Robin in the rain from the first season, has another place in the hearts of the fans of the series. What Ted said on the way back in the taxi is that everything changed overnight… I wish our memories were erased so we could watch How I Met Your Mother for the first time.
Modern Family – Midnight Train to Georgia
We are facing one of the cutest scenes of Modern Family. On the stage, when Jay goes to eat tacos with the whole family after not being able to eat the food he wants all day, we watch his favorite song start to play and the whole family sings and dances in harmony and we smile.
The Sopranos – Don’t Stop Believin’
Journey’s song Don’t Stop Believin’ has been used before in many TV series and movies. However, we can say that the most memorable of these is the scene where the legendary The Sopranos series is played in the final episode. In the final episode, where we experience Tony’s death through Tony’s eyes in the finale, everything happens when we least expect it, and with the entry of this song, all we have is intense emotions…
Breaking Bad – Goodbye
Gustavo Fring, the legendary character of Breaking Bad who comes to mind after Walter and Jesse, maybe even before them, was engraved in our minds with his perfect final scene before he died. I still get goosebumps hearing the rhythms of the Goodbye song playing on stage.
Sense8 – What’s Going On
One of the most popular TV series of the early 2010s, Sense8 has many iconic song scenes, but this one is special. Sense8 was a show way ahead of its time and beautifully illustrates how different people can connect and develop relationships.
How I Met Your Mother – La Vie En Rose
How I Met Your Mother has many short-lived characters, but Tracy is perhaps the most memorable of them all. Cristin Milioti made us fall in love with Tracy in just 8 episodes. Tracy was a very strong character. The saddest part of her death was that she told Ted not to live in her memories, but that Tracy now lives only in Ted’s memories…
Friends – Smelly Cat
Phoebe and her songs are all iconic, but Smelly Cat has a special place in the hearts of every Friends fan. The story of Smelly Cat continues for 10 seasons, it leaves a sweet smile on our faces every time we hear the song in the series.
La Casa de Papel – Bella Ciao
Of course, Bella Ciao was not famous for La Casa de Papel, the famous Italian revolutionary song had been the voice of many resistances for years. However, in the first season of La Casa de Papel, Bella Ciao has become an icon in the 21st century as the Professor and Berlin start to sing and the heist team continues.
Glee – Don’t Stop Believin’
Actually, we didn’t think to include any scene from this show since Glee is a complete musical, but the Don’t Stop Believin’ scene played in the first episode of the first season of the show is very iconic. All the characters are just having fun, no exaggerated choreography or costumes. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this scene is the favorite of glee lovers.
Lucifer – Heart and Soul
Heart and Soul is a piece that everyone who starts playing the piano and has a lover would like to play together one day, and it has been featured in many TV series and movies until today. But Lucifer and Chloe playing this piece in episode 9 of Lucifer’s first season is a heart-pounding scene and is a little more special than the rest.
Euphoria – All For Us
Euphoria, the most popular youth series of recent years, did not fall off the agenda of social media. The song All For Us, performed by Zendaya and Labrinth in the series, was one of the best ways to tell the drama of a teenager in any drama.
Stranger Things – Running Up That Hill
Eddie Munson and Master of Puppets weren’t the only stars of Stranger Things season 4. The character of Max was also prominent in this season. Discovering that the way to get rid of Vecna is to listen to your favorite song, the team makes him listen to his favorite song, Running Up That Hill, to save Max, and an enormous salvation scene emerges.
We are sure that you have thought of much more than these, but as our Webtekno team, these songs and iconic moments came to our minds. Which songs would you like to add to this list? Please do not forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.
