Dead Like Me music question
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: srs5694

I was wondering if anybody could ID a piece of music that's appeared in two episodes of Dead Like Me to date:

In "Reaping Havoc," it plays over the final scene, where George shows her scrapbook of dead people to her co-workers. (Not the fantasy sequence earlier in the episode with the body parts, the real one at the end with the photos.)

In "My Room," it plays early in the episode when Reggie is pretending to walk to school but is in fact sneaking off to her toilet tree.

I thought this bit of music was rather haunting, and would like to track it down, and maybe sample more from this artist. Thanks to anybody who can provide pointers....

(Of course, anybody reading this post who's never seen the show will no doubt think it's the most disturbed TV show ever, given my descriptions of these two scenes. Oh, well.)

The opening credits say that the music is by Stewart Copeland.

BTW, this last episode, "My Room", has a very brief TiVo reference.

Huh, what, I missed that. Early, middle, end? I may have to play it back

Tivo reference:

I don't remember the exact quote, but when we get to hear George's co-worker's thoughts, one of them is wondering whether he remembered to "TiVo" Iron Chef.

Of course, if he really owned a TiVo, he wouldn't have to wonder 'cause he'd have a Season Pass, but I guess when you're talking pop culture references, you take what you can get.

I doubt if the piece I want information on is by Stewart Copeland. Music credits like that generally refer to the series theme and normal incidental music; this was something else, like the "Hell" track from Squirrel Nut Zippers that they use heavily in the promos (and, IIRC, in the pilot). It sounds like something they pulled off of a CD.

This is weird. I also am curious to know who did the Reaping Havoc song in the scene mentioned above.

You're looking for "Boom Boom Ba" by Metisse.

Thanks, fleegle! I was hoping posting here would put enough eyes on the problem to make it easy to solve! :)

I only knew the answer because I saw it here in a previous DLM thread...
