Music is in the air ... eh, in the episode

[on:]

Hello and welcome to my very first thread ever: Searching songs in Futurama episodes.
To explain that: Some days ago I saw a site about all songs and songtitles in Simpsons-episodes and I thought "how much songs and titles may by (hidden) in the Futurama episodes?"
Here some examples:
  The Title of Comic 1 is "Monkey Sea, Monkey Doom" wich remembers me the song "Monkey See, Monkey Doo" by "Sam the Sham and the Pharaos".
  Zapp Brannigan sings "Lola" (from "The Kinks" ) in the episode "Amazon Women ..."

I'm curious what song or title you may find

i dont know any title, but i thought 0 replies are too few for this, so i just post this

[Reply #2 on:]

The Poppler Jingle - Popeye The Sailor

Santa Claus Is Gunning You Down - Santa Clause Is Coming To Town

[Reply #3 on:]

Actual songs used:

The folk songs in "The Series Has Landed"
The Beastie Boys concert in "Hell is other robots"

[Reply #4 on:]

The "Daisy" AKA "bicycle built for two" song in Love and Rocket

[Reply #5 on:]

Daisy Bell (Bicycle built for two) is from 1892 (very old     ).
The episode title "A bicyclops built for two" seems to be basing on that song-title.

"Insane in the mainframe": the episode-title is a reference to the songtitle and the lyrics of the song "Insane in the Brain" by "Cypress Hill" (1992).

But there's also a saying (i think it's a saying) 'Insane in the membrane'.

For episode titles and what they parodies, try this thread.

Das Futurama Outlet have a list of several songs that have appeared in Futurama.

Thank you for that idea, but there are still a lot of song-titles "hidden" in episodes, no-one knows about.
Here an example: In "I dated a robot" Bender says "And then along came Bender" and destroys that LucyLu-Bot.
So, nothing special you may think, but ... Yesterday I heard an Oldies-CD and I was really surprised when I heard the song "Along came Jones" by The Coasters ... lyrics: And than along came Jones ...
This is just one example of "hidden" songs.
May you know another.

No it isn't.

[Reply #11 on:]

Only if somebody is foolish enough to point out the other music threads that already exist...

[Reply #12 on:]

Even then, I'd still keep it open, just to spite clampybot.

[Reply #13 on:]

Heh heh. Its hilarious because you hate him so much.

It's funny when other people can't get along. It's even funnier when one of the parties has infinately more power on the message board than the other.

Also, that piece of classical music we all know and love:

"I  like   big butts and I cannot lie..."

I think that's right anyway.

Also, in the shower Fry sometimes sings, "Im walking on sunshine"

Everyone enjoys Baby Love Child in Leela's Homeworld.

Fine fine. Go sit in the corner by yourself somewhere.

Question: What was the song that Nixon played on the electric guitar in "A Head in the Polls"?

I wanna learn to play that. It rocks.

[Reply #20 on:]

"White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane.

Lyrics Notice the last line.

[Reply #21 on:]

Perfect. I'm just getting good enough at guitar to learn to play songs. If I get good enough at it I'll make a recording... along with a Nixon impression.

Bless you Teral. Truely you are the Helpy McHelpHelp.

Good enough for me.

[Reply #27 on:]

don't forget Safety Dance by Men Without Hats as performed by that guy.

[Reply #28 on:]

They used the beginning of "Iron Man" by Black Sabbeth in AO1.

[Reply #29 on:]

Also worthy of note, Rush - "Tom Sawyer" in Space Pilot 3000.

[Reply #30 on:]

Wasn't that in AOI2? On Fry's Rush Mix Tape.

[Reply #31 on:]

Hmmmmm...Now you've got me wondering.  I coulda sworn it was on SP3K.  But yeah, the Rush mix tape.  You're probably right.  Stupid beer killng my brain.

[Reply #32 on:]

What was the song that played when the secretary of trasportation and nixon's head were approaching the podium in the latest episode?

[Reply #33 on:]

Stars and stripes or some other 'Merickan thing. But the Holophonist in the band was awesome, although I think that and the huge reference to Fry's holophoner in Futurama VS Simpsons 2 was just buttering us up for Devils Hands. Which I know I'll hate. Probably. Nah, I'll love it.

[Reply #34 on:]

"Hail to the Chief" I believe. That's what they play for the President. Interesting insinuation.

[Reply #35 on:]

It's quite disturbing that a page like this could reach almost a full page without anybody mentioning Conga by Gloria Estefan.

Hi guys, my first thingy. I'm interested what's the song in Love Rocket. Bender says "Hey this ain't alternative rock, it's college rock" when the ships personality thingy is updated. Sounds cool.

[Reply #38 on:]

It's "Two Princes" from the Spin Doctors.

ah, and welcome to Peel!!!!!

Y'know, that dance isn't as safe as everyone said.
