Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I very much enjoy Bridgerton, it’s a fun, tropey, smutty romp. But the classical renditions of pop songs drive me up the wall.

Not because they’re pop music turned classical, but because so many of the chosen songs do not match the context of the on-screen situation! It’s like the people choosing them are not LISTENING to the lyrics and are going on pure tune and it drives me mad.

[(Anonymous)]

That reminds me of an episode of Supergirl where they had Take Me To Church playing in the background during a scene between Kara and Alex and they were having, you know, a familial conversation. Not a sexy conversation. Completely took me out of the scene.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, oh no. xD

[(Anonymous)]

Oh no. I was going to watch this, but that might drive me nuts!

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I think they 100% are going for the melodies, because the lyrics aren't there in-universe! It absolutely works for me and I enjoy the arrangements.

[(Anonymous)]

I think a lot of people don't listen to lyrics at all, in general.

Think of how many people end up going "wait this song was about what???" over extremely obvious songs

[(Anonymous)]

True, but nothing is going to beat people playing "Good Luck, Babe!" as the going away song at het weddings.

[greghousesgf]

I've heard of people playing "One" by U2 at weddings. That song's about an AIDS patient!

[(Anonymous)]

There are so many songs that are totally inappropriate for a happy wedding song, that people use anyway. It kills me. A lot of them are also pretty blatantly obvious if you listen to the lyrics even just once. I guess on that one they just hear that it's upbeat and "You'd have to stop the world just to stop the feeling" and don't think about it beyond that, but..... uh......... that's, uh, that's really something.

[(Anonymous)]

I have heard a story of a couple playing Pearl Jam's "Betterman" as their wedding song, and the only way that makes sense to me is if it's the song that broke the ice for them ("Oh, you like Pearl Jam too?!").

[(Anonymous)]

Oh word.

Like some of them work but then you’ll have one that just does not fit at all and I end up squinting at the screen. S2 using Alanis Morissette’s You Oughta Know for a Kate and Anthony moment still vexes me because like hell it fits the situation at all.

And much as I adored s4 using The Night We Met for a Benedict/Sophie moment sure was a choice. It worked when leading to the Queen and Lady Danbury, but it spends a large portion with Ben/Soph and uh, romance is the furthest thing from my mind with that song. lol.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly I think the original pieces they compose for the seasons are so much better. The love theme for this season is absolutely beautiful and suits the characters so well.

[(Anonymous)]

Going on vibes is the current thing to do.

[(Anonymous)]

This has been a peeve of mind with media for a long time, very few shows or movies seem to actually listen to the lyrics of the songs that they’re using.

[(Anonymous)]

Right? If commercials can be tone deaf and not paying attention to the lyrics, why not shows?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh yeah, so many examples out there (some of the really egregious ones being political campaigns).

[(Anonymous)]

So many conservatives want to use amazing music while campaigning against everything that inspired the amazing music. Baffling.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly both would probably bother me. I do love classical versions of things though so I might give the soundtrack a listen!

[(Anonymous)]

Music makes a scene more than most things, I find. You only get truly great moments when everything fits. Case in point:

The final fight in Wiseguy

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe I should write my own secret....most times I have no idea what song is playing. I feel tone deaf or something because all I can hear are instruments playing. My mind doesn't connect the notes to the pop song.
