Great idea. Thanks!

I think I heard "A Night In Tunisia" at the end of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"?

Two things I hope for Mad Men: That it has a very long run and that all eps and seasons are eventually available on DVD because I will BUY IT!!

I love it when shows post the music they use. Keep up the good work.

OK, I don't remember working in 1960 (I was 8) but I DO remember smoking in the office in the 1980's. But the one thing in this 1st episode which I think was over the top in error was the gynecologists coming in to an exam room to do a pelvic and lighting up a cig just before an exam. They would light up in their office but I think never as they entered a room like he did in last night's episode. I worked as a candy striper in the 60s and never saw Drs. smoke in the hospital exam rooms and then as a nurse in a hospital and pvt. office in the 70s and even though they smoked, they NEVER would do what was depicted last night - little error. But the rest of the episode was tremendous.

Just a little funny personalk aside; when I worked as an exec. in the mid 80s in NYC, I had just been interviewed by someone for Directors & Officers Insurance in my office and asked if I smoked and knowing it was a health hazard, I said "no". After the person left, I lit right up and she forgot something and came back a few minutes later and I quickly put the cig (still smoking!!) and ash tray in my desk drawer and as we breifly spoke again - smoke was trailing up and out of my drawer!! She never said anything and neither did I!! But was THAT ever funny!!

It would be interesting if this show could find some of the people who actually worked in this business in 1960, both men and women, and let them describe what it was like. This would have more credibility. I wonder if what we're getting is a somewhat exaggerated picture of white men, the scourge of moder times. This generation has been successfully indoctrinated so as to revile white males. The participants in this show weren't even alive in 1960, including the cast and the producers and directors.

First, Thank you for listing the music. Second, in response to the previous post, I believe David is wrong. I think most viewers understand that the portrayal of women in Mad Men is to do justice to the time period. The show has not glamorized or in any way promoted this reality, it has just shown it for what it was. The fastest way for us to be "set back 50 years" is failing to understand our history. In my humble opinion, Mad Men does a superb job of reminding us of just where we have come in these last 50 years.

I find the music aspect in every show worth watching has become more important since the Sopranos - music was an integral part of that show and I see a continuation with that in A LOT of shows now

It's nice to see the details of each episode's music, but I'd also like some info on the artwork displayed in the Sterling Cooper offices. I didn't know where else I could post this message, but I hope TPTB see this.

Who sang the closing "I'll Take Manhattan" ? Also, we love the bridges with these great songs. Nobody does that anymore. It's great.

It was the Dinah Washington version of Manhattan.

"Manhattan" written in 1925 - Blog says was Ella Fitzgerald. Outstanding. "Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Rodgers & Hart Song Book" recorded on August 29, 1956. Wow!

there is missing music info, which i'm desperately trying to find out. Before Amy Winehouse was used during the promotionals, another band was used in the background. Does anyone know who that band is?

It would be great if this show put out a soundtrack.

Episode 4 - What music was played in the background when Don was in bed with Rachel?

Sorry, I meant Episode 5 (Aug 16) - what music was playing in the background when Don was in bed with Rachel?

why don't you add the song titles and artist to the ending credits?¿?

I thought Don was in bed with Midge last night.

Sorry, I meant, Midge. Just started watching so figuring out who everyone is.

where is the music info for episode 6?

New Mad Men iMIX Soundtrack now available on iTunes. Check it out:

Enjoy

Loved the song from the last scene with the beatniks...anyone know what that was?

Did anyone notice this sort of cool, jazzy swingy song that was playing at the beginning of the lipstick focus group scene? I'd love to know the name of it, if it isn't an original piece for the show.

Babylon - I believe is an Israeli folk canon. It wasn't written by Don McLean (although that recording is great!)

I was born in 1961...my dad was a hotshot lawyer and my mom was a housewife in a suburban setting quite similar to the one shown...

It's been both unnerving and fascinating to watch the kind of lives, homes, workplaces, and attitudes they lived in from an adult perspective, and I have to tell you it was *very* similar to what I see on the show...

Keep it up. Wonderful writing, soundtrack,acting,costume and set design

I would also like to know the name of the jazz piece playing during the lipstick focus group. Anybody? Thanks.

This show is the best thing on televison. Perfection.

The melody that is played during most scenes of Betty and Don in their home is, to me, errily similiar to a song that's sung in Hebrew at my Temple on Friday nights. I regret I don't know the name of it, but have heard it many times before.

I'm not so sure Don McLean "wrote" it. Perhaps he arranged it.

At any rate, it was lovely, and performed beautifully on the show by Eugene Edwards.

Oops... my post above did not appear in its entirety as I mistakenly used tags. My post is in reference to this:

"Music From Episode 6:

Original Cast Recording - Babylon (Written by Don Mclean)"

Sorry for the confusion.

Perhaps you could be a bit more specific about the music, particularly in differentiating between the songwriter and the performer. See previous posts about Ella singing a piece written by Rodgers and Hart and, of course, Babylon. Written after 1960, but I'll forgive you

The music list does NOT contain "all the music we've used so far," as claimed. The list is incomplete.

Please, list ALL the music.

About the song at the end of the "Babylon" episode: The words are adapted from Psalm 137:1. "By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion."

Is the melody really a folk song? Cool.

>Is the melody really a folk song? Cool.

I'm not sure how old the melody itself is, but I always thought it was an old folk song.

I learned it when I was in college. We used to sing it and various other traditional rounds at school festivals.

thanks :)

Does anyone know a performer that has recorded the song at the end of "Babylon" prior to the Mad Men recording?

There was an aria. Was it from Marriage of Figaro, the Countess, on jealousy? Hinting at a scheme for revenge?

I loved the song "Babylon" by Don McLean in episode 6.

I realize "Concierto De Aranjuez" is a long song (and has two other parts not credited here,) but it sure seems like something else was playing in the later beatnik scenes. It sounded familiar, but I didn't recognize it from the 'Sketches of Spain' album.

I almost bought the Mad Men soundtrack on iTunes, but it only has 13 tracks. What are the odds that they'll create a more complete soundtrack in the future? How could they leave off Rosemary Clooney?

Oh, never mind. It seems that an MM fan made an iMix after a few episodes. I hope that person will update the mix with tunes from subsequent episodes.

Episode 8 - who sings closing credits song...Old Time Religion?

Mr. Weiner et al-

I'm very impressed with the musical selections so far in Mad Men. I'd like to suggest that you look at Chet Baker's library from the era. I think it'd be a great fit.

Ray in Davis, CA

I think Old Time Religion is by

Pete Seeger

or could it be Woody Guthrie?

Wasn't "The Infanta" by the Decemberists running through the credits? Or was that backing an AMC promo running simultaneously?

I love the music on Mad Men. And I hope there is a CD coming out soon. Talk about reliving my youth!

I love the fact that you display your songs that you have had on your episodes. I am having a hard time finding the main title theme you display (thank you). If you sold a sound tract I believe it would be a big seller, hint hint. Again, thank you very much for displaying the songs.

What was the song that was playing while Draper's wife was...um... "doing the laundry"?

The song sung while Draper's wife was in the laundry room was "Bim-Bom" by Astrud Gilberto, circa 1965-1966. She is most famous for "The Girl from Ipanema", and is known as the "accidental artist". She was discovered by Stan Getz while she sang lullabies to children when he was in Brazil. She was briefly married to Joao Gilberto.

The singer is Astrud Gilberto, indeed. However, the name of the song is ”Agua de Beber.”

Since it hasn't been updated yet above, here's what I have so far for...

Episode 11

Astrud Gilberto & Antonio Carlos Jobim - "Agua de Beber"

Julie London - "Fly Me To the Moon"

isn't night and day in episode 7 is ella fitzgerald's version?

a tidbit on the use of Yma Sumac (from a piece I wrote earlier today:)

Around 1950, rumors spread that Yma was actually a Jewish secretary at Capitol Records named Amy Camus, who was born in Brooklyn, not Peru. Amy Camus is a backwards spelling of Yma Sumac. This challenge (a hoax, it should be pointed out) to her exotic identity was a serious blow to her career at the time. She bounced back, though, since fans ultimately replied like Bert Cooper with "Mr. Campbell, who cares?"

Bravo!!! Will be waiting for more.

David Carbone?

Last episode music in the final monalog.

Details please?

BTW...Have not missed a show to date, Luv it...

Finally nice to have a show we can ALL, finally relate to.

Question about episode 11, Indian Summer--what is the piece playing near the end, after Peggy has just gotten her raise and is packing up her desk for the evening?

I stand corrected - whadya expect at 8:30 in the morning anyway, after doing an all nighter on a paper!!

What song is playing in episode 6 around 26 minutes into the show. It's the jazzy guitar playing when Joan bends over. That song is as good as any bow-chicka wow wow. Is it part of the score?

What was the song that was played after after Peggy and Joan talked and all the men where looking at Peggy as they walked by?

I forgot to mention Ladies Room Episode the scene where all the men are looking at Peggy in slow motion after the argument with her and Joan and then looks at the Niagara Falls Post card... Something about love and drunkenness

Love the show and love the music. It would be great to hear "The Good & the Bad Guy" by My Brightest Diamond, mixed into the soundtrack. It's off of the "Bring Me The Workhorse" album and it really fits the story line. Thanks for making my Thursday night.
