Next up: XF was shown all over the world, and in some countries it was given a title that translated to something other than "The X-Files". Of those alternate titles, there are about 10 that are significantly different (the rest are just slightly changed, like The X Cases, The Secret X-Files, The X-Files plus a subtitle, etc.) You don’t have to identify the country, and you only have to give the English translation, but name any three of those.

Most of the background music on the series is original by Mark Snow and there's also sometimes some classical music by various composers. However, occasionally the soundtrack includes pop music*, sometimes used very memorably though not always. Name...let's go with fifteen songs the show has used and the episode in which the song played. Note: if it's a song that's merely sung/quoted by a character (for example, Mulder singing "Shaft" or Scully singing "Joy the the World") that doesn't count. *I'm not sure if "pop music" is quite what I'm looking for here, but it's the best term I could think of.

Bastet February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 My hands-down favorite use of music in the series is Red Right Hand in Ascension. But the use of Wonderful, Wonderful in Home is pretty damn masterful, too. I'm also partial to Beyond the Sea in, well, Beyond the Sea. There may be a few songs in D.P.O., but the one I remember (because I love it) is Hey Man, Nice Shot. Same with Syzygy - I'm almost positive this is an episode that used a few songs, but I can only remember All Over You. One of the only things PMP has going for it is lots of Cher, including, most memorably, her version of Walking in Memphis. We also hear Half Breed and Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves. The Rain King also has more music than usual, thanks to the reunion. I can remember Rock the Boat and Rainy Days and Mondays. I'm Only Happy When it Rains is in Terms of Endearment (pretty much the only thing I remember about that episode). Frenzy is in Humbug. Chinga gives us The Hokey Pokey. (Man, this show is great at music to be murdered by.) I assume Bad Boys is in X-Cops. Partial answers: There's a Partridge Family song in Never Again, but I don't know the name of it (was never a fan). Unmarked Helicopters is used in something. Hands of Death appears at least once. The Moby song in all things Taryn brought up is, IIRC, The Sky is Broken.

The Rain King also has more music than usual, thanks to the reunion. I can remember Rock the Boat and Rainy Days and Mondays. I originally only asked for ten songs, then upped it to fifteen because I knew it would be so easy to get 5-6 songs just from those two episodes alone. I considered changing the question to listing episodes that used pop music (and naming at least one song). There's a Partridge Family song in Never Again, but I don't know the name of it (was never a fan). That would be "Doesn't Somebody Want to Be Wanted". The Moby song in all things Taryn brought up is, IIRC, The Sky is Broken. Yep. And "My Weakness" was used earlier in the same season in Closure. Well, there are definitely fifteen named already. My favorites have all been mentioned. It was thinking of "Wonderful Wonderful" and "Doesn't Somebody Want to be Wanted" (mentioned in a recent Extra Hot Great in which "Never Again" was the canon submission) that prompted the question, but my other favorite uses of pop music on the show are "Red Right Hand", "Twilight Time", and "I'm Only Happy When It Rains". So that win goes to Bastet. Nicely done.
