You can´t always get what you want – First Song in House MD Soundtrack – Pilot

jaggerMusic is a big part of any TV Show. Incidental, background music, perhaps… or  in cases as Ally McBeal´s a central part of the show.

House MD is a very musical show. And great music to be more specific.

The first song of the soundtrack is in the Pilot. And it´s Rolling Stones´You Can´t Always Get what you Want.

Both House tells to Cuddy “You Can´t Always Get What you Want” and Cuddy also tells House “You Can´t Always Get What you Want”.

Seems forever since that episode, originally aired November 16th 2004 about Young kindergarten teacher Rebecca Adler (played by Robin Tunney) collapses in her classroom after uncontrolled gibberish slips out of her mouth while she is about to teach students and gets to be treated by House´s Crew.

And if you have a good memory… Amber also tells House You Can´t Always Get What You Want. Do you remember what episode?

It seems that “You Can´t Always Get What you Want” from the Rolling Stones is a charm for TV Shows, since Californication also used the same song in its Pilot.
