The Lost Chord

Posted at 3:00 PM on October 4, 2006 by Hans Eisenbeis (2 Comments)

You, like everyone else in the known universe, will probably be watching tonight's season premiere of "Lost." (Never mind the Yankees. Now if the Twins were playing in prime time, that would be a horse of a different color.) And you may have noticed that in seasons past the show's producers showed a certain flair for classic show tunes and tasteful retro-hits that were both creepy and brilliant. (Remember Mama Cass Elliott's "Make Your Own Kind of Music" when the crew went down the hatch? Awesome!)

While you're sharpening your pencils for tonight's big show, you can take a quick glance at this comprehensive web site that identifies songs and artists licensed for use on The Greatest TV Show of All Time. Here's what's on deck:

10.04.06 "A TALE OF TWO CITIES" [NEW] Jack, Kate and Sawyer must deal with their pasts, as they are held captive by "The Others" in mysterious prisons which remind them of their pre-island lives. Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, Bernard and Charlie attempt to re-establish leadership in a panicked camp, and Rose becomes concerned about the situation in the hatch.

Given the outline of tonight's episode, we're guessing maybe James Brown's "Prisoner of Love," Gang of Four's "We Live As We Dream Alone," or "Suicide is Painless (Theme from M*A*S*H*)" or maybe even "We're Gonna Win Twins." Your ideas for the perfect Lost mix? If you got 'em, let us have 'em. In the comments.

Ha! I just have to publicly gloat a little bit. Opening scene: Petula Clark's "Downtown." Creepy! Brilliant!

I did not watch "Lost" but I watched "The Nine" right after and it utilized Ryan Adams' "When the Stars Go Blue" for no apparent reason. Also, I still think "Arrested Development" is the Greatest TV Show of All Time, and *they* used "Downtown" in a season 2 episode too.
