Do you have any favorite music moments from "ER" or "CSI"? If so, what are they?
hi, @phoebegillies!
for er, my favorite musical moments are
"battleflag" by the lo fidelity allstars playing in episode 06x13 "be still my heart" when carter & lucy are stabbed is probably my all-time favorite music moment in tv history just because of what a fucking gut punch it is;
"somewhere over the rainbow" by israel kamakawiwoʻole playing in episode 08x21 "on the beach" when mark dies, as it may be one of the most heartaching musical moments of the whole series;
"open your eyes" by snow patrol playing at the end of episode 12x22 "twenty-one guns" because it is just a god-tier choice for that catastrophic moment and gives me chills every time;
"desperately wanting" by better than ezra playing at carol's surprise party in episode 03x21 "make a wish" because its lyrics are just perfect for doug & carol and it's just so subtly placed in the background;
"letting the cables sleep" by bush playing during the cold open in 06x21 "such sweet sorrow" because somehow it works perfectly both for carter's survivor's guilt over lucy and carol missing doug???;
chloe and susan and everyone in the delivery room singing "blackbird" by the beatles during little susie's birth scene in episode 01x24 "motherhood" because it is peak comedy™;
"ride" by cary brothers playing while neela moves out of her and ray's apartment and he watches her from the window in episode 12x18 "strange bedfellows" because it is such a great reela angst song;
abby using "when the stars go blue" by ryan adams to calm down the little kid at the crash scene in episode 13x09 "scoop and run" because it creates this lovely contrast between the soothing song and the images of pain and chaos;
jeanie signing "good riddance (time of your life)" by green day at scott anspaugh's funeral in episode 04x19 "shades of gray" because it's such a beautiful tribute to their friendship and gloria reuben is amazing;
"walkin' on the sun" by smashmouth playing in episode 04x13 "carter's choice" when carter drives in to work in the blizzard just because the juxtaposition of the song lyrics with the snow is hilarious;
rosemary clooney as madame x singing "have yourself a merry little christmas" in episode 01x11 "the gift" because it's gorgeous and also they did a nice job of working it into the episode in an organic way;
"born to be wild" by steppenwolf playing while carol, wearing a dorky-ass helmet, rides mark's totally tame little barely-more-than-a-dirtbike motorcycle back to her house in episode 02x10 "a miracle happens here" because it's a fucking laugh-and-a-half;
"twist & shout" by the isley brothers playing in episode 01x20 "full moon, saturday night" when carter calls in to request it on the radio for susan because it's so adorable when he and susan and carol all dance together to end out the episode;
the little girl singing "beautiful" by christina aguilera while abby walks home at the end of episode 14x12 "believe the unseen" because it's such a great character moment and really hits home the themes of her recovery arc;
any time the "doug and carol" love theme by james newton howard from the er original score plays because i still go absolutely feral for it every time i hear it;
haleh singing "his eye is on the sparrow" by civilia d. martin and charles h. gabriel to that crying little girl in episode 01x10 "blizzard" because yvette freeman has a voice like an angel and it's such a beautiful moment of storytelling in an episode that is just standout all around;
"crystal village" by pete yorn being on the cd that ray sends to neela in episode 15x16 "beginning of the end" because it's just an inspired choice to show how he feels about her;
and, finally, the er theme song by james newton howard because they just don't make 'em like that anymore. absolute banger!
for csi, my favorite music moments are
"running up that hill" by placebo playing while sara watches grissom and the rest of the team race at the go-kart track at the end of episode 08x02 "a la cart" because it just sets the perfect tone not only for the scene but for the gsr arc in s8 and the lyrics are very poignant;
of course, every time the original csi theme song “who are you” by the who plays at the beginning of the episode, because it’s just classic;
"mr. blue sky" by electric light orchestra being the theme song for hodges's lucky day in episode 07x20 "lab rats" because it's perfect (and hilarious);
the occasions when the "gsr love suite" by john m. keane is used because it makes me feel things;
when team graveyard, desperate for further instructions, plays the ransom tape from nick's kidnapper only to be hit with "outside chance" by the turtles because the looks on their faces as the camera pans around the table are worth their weight in gold;
when the incomparable ashley johnson as dreama little sings "dream a little dream" by doris day to brass when he asks her what her name is in episode 07x21 "ending happy" because it is just top-notch comedy ("do i look like paula abdul to you?");
"good enough" by evanescence being the leitmotif through episode 07x17 "fallen idols" because it just gives the episode a really cohesive feel, plus the lyrics are relevant to gsr (and especially the gsr scene at the end);
the wallflowers randomly making a cameo and playing "everybody out of the water" in episode 03x02 "the accused is entitled" because they're one of my favorite bands and the song does set the tone for the episode and its themes;
grissom listening to "recitar vesti la giubba" from pagliacci by ruggero leoncavallo in episode 03x01 "revenge is best served cold" and "tu ne m’aimes donc plus?" from carmen by georges bizet in episode 03x15 "lady heather's box" because it's such a nice, subtle way to imply his jealousy over sara's relationship with hank throughout s3. like, okay, baby boy, you just keep listening to your operas about men who are overcome by jealous rage after they lose their loves to the embraces of other (studlier) guys. we see you there, gilbert;
mandy webster making nick sing "mandy" by barry manilow to her in episode 07x08 "happenstance" because a) george eads has a surprisingly nice voice, and, b) it's such a good little characterization moment for one of my favorite lab rats;
"unbound" by robbie robertson playing when grissom finds sara under the billboard in episode 02x23 "the hunger artist" because the lyrics say so much about his feelings for her;
"sweet jane" by the velvet underground being the theme piece for the eponymous episode 07x12 because it really adds to the 70s vibes in the flashback scenes;
any time they use "grissom's overture" by john m. keane (and especially when it plays during grissom's roller coaster ride in episode 01x05 "friends & lovers") because it kicks ass, plain and simple;
"f.e.a.r." by ian brown playing while warrick, nick, and sara process the warehouse riddled with all of the bullet holes in it in episode 03x19 "a night at the movies" because it's just a cool mood piece;
if i can count moments from the reboot, grissom singing "the circle game" by joni mitchell to sara in episode 01x03 "under the skin" because it may be the cutest goddamn thing i have ever seen in my life;
and also, all of the original score to csi moments just in general because john m. keane did so much to contribute to the overall flavor of the show and create a memorable soundscape.
thanks for the question! please feel welcome to send another any time.
