While those actors' performance of Satisfaction is intact on the DVDs, I'm reminded of the season one DVD release of Remington Steele, in which - as originally aired - a drunk Laura stumbles into the office singing the same song. Instead (if I recall correctly it's been a few months since I've seen the episode), there's an awkward cut after they're at the karaoke machine, fade to black, then the credits roll.

One consequence of not being able to get music rights in certain episodes was glaring in one episode in particular-the Season One episode in which Edina turns 40, she's gifted with a karaoke machine, and normally, at the end, we see her and Patsy do a drunken (while chain-smoking, of course) rendition of "Satisfaction", as well as the opening theme song, while the credits roll. Someone else here agrees with you and thinks one of the Netflix songs is the one they want to find, and it seems to me they like it better than the one they found "on YouTube", meaning from the DVD/TV airing of the ep. I hate that the Netflix version of the soundtrack is LOVELY but completely uncredited and impossible to find the songs. Seeing the real, original scene with the original song choice on YouTube.

I think overall it was a better choice, it really was. And honestly, I think the voice of the singer, the unique lyrics. I know the song "Save The Last Dance For Me" well, especially the Michael Bublé version, and when I watched the episode for the first time on Netflix, I noticed that the song sounded like "Save The Last Dance For Me" musically, but it had different lyrics. They wrote "Was watching the prom/bashing episode and instead of THIS perfect song playing during the dance scene it was some random terrible knock off :(" - I know for a fact that I love the song that they replaced it with actually a bit more, I think. I saw all the comments in the Netflix reviews about the soundtrack being "ruined" and like here: you can see someone complaining about this song: being replaced. I am watching it for the first time on Netflix and I think the music is wonderful. Notice this in any other shows in which music would otherwise be used or utilized in some sort of way? Case in point: The Wonder Years, primarily due to its use of Joe Cocker's cover of "With A Little Help Of My Friends", which is so distinct from The Beatles' version, it a) sounds like a completely different song (in a good way, in my opinion, and I quite like the Beatles' version), and b) to use a different version of that particular version (which is done for the streaming version on Netflix not sure who sings it), to me, doesn't give me quite the same feeling when watching the show.Ī show that uses replacement music for its theme that isn't a total turn-off for me is Absolutely Fabulous, this time, on Hulu (though I still prefer the original theme music). I don't know about any of you, but sometimes, when entire theme songs are replaced (in the case of shows that use pop songs as theme music, anyway), mostly on streaming, but sometimes also on the DVD versions as well, it can be a turn off for me.
