The music of CM.

[severynx.livejournal.com]

I've always thought the snippets of music played throughout the show were interesting choices. Sometimes they fit the unsub. Sometimes they fit the victim. And sometimes they fit the team, or some other part of the show. We've heard everything from Aretha Franklin to Nine Inch Nails, and Enya to the Rolling Stones.

What I'm wondering is:

Have you ever listened to a song and thought: "hey, that would be perfect for the show!"...?

If so, what song? 

Why do you think it would fit the show?

And in what way would the song be used?


*Bonus:
Taking this one step further, if each member of the team had a theme song (including former members), what would their song be and why?

I am totally crushing on you for picking TV on the Radio! "Family Tree" would also be great. I have melancholy tastes.

Oh, that song is great. I loved Dear Science so much, such a gorgeous album. I also love TV on the Radio :) Ambulance was the first song I heard by them and for some reason I always thought of it being about an obsessive killer.

And thinking now, "Wolf Like Me" would be great for an unsub-couple-team! In fact, I'm getting the idea of a fic to it focusing on two original character unsubs (there needs to be more unsub!fic.)

I was actually thinking of "Wolf Like Me" when you mentioned DLZ. Your story idea sounds fantastic. Also, a good unsub!fic gives excellent outsider-view insight into the team. Good luck!

Well, finals are over, so I definitely have time to write it! So I think I will. :) Thanks!

I love when they used Wolf Like Me in Doubt. That sort of was like an unsub-couple-team, if you think about it.

[trenchcoatedson.livejournal.com]

Oh wait, they DID use it?

[fun-french-fri.livejournal.com]

Yes! At the beginning, after the theme song, when everyone is getting off the plane.

How the heck did I miss this *baffled*

hahaha I totally didn't see this and made the same comment. Thank you for reminding me of the ep title, I couldn't remember it!

Wolf Like Me has been played in an ep. I'm too exhausted to look up which one, but it was set on a college campus (I'm pretty sure it was a security guard killing people and they locked him up but then someone else was murdered and they thought they got the wrong guy). They played it when the gang first gets off the jet.
