Titolo: Alcune delle canzoni che hanno fatto la storia di Friends

Throw your own 'Friends' dance party
By Whitney Matheson, USATODAY.com
Now that we've copied their haircuts, imitated their outfits and
fine-tuned our Chandler impersonations, is there anything left to
steal from the Friends gang?
As a matter of fact, there is: the music. For your reading and
listening pleasure, we present a fantastic Friends mix tape, featuring
songs from the series.
+++
The Perky Side (often heard during vacation episodes and gleeful
moments):
The Lion Sleeps Tonite, The Tokens— Nothing says "good time" like a
great oldie. As Friends fans may recall, this was Marcel the monkey's
choice groove; during the first season, viewers were subjected to it
more times than "How you doin'?" 
Shiny Happy People, R.E.M.— Another monkey gem: Remember when the buds
had a New Year's Eve party and Ross introduced everyone to Marcel? You
don't? Well, it was a happy moment, indeed, although we'd characterize
it more "furry" than "shiny."
What's the Frequency, Kenneth?, R.E.M.— Apparently, Ross and Rachel
were big Michael Stipe fans back in the '90s. You might not remember
hearing this ditty, though, because it aired during the episode where
George Clooney and Noah Wyle guest-starred as hunky doctors.
The Rockafella Skank, Fatboy Slim— By this point on the CD, even
Grandma will be shaking her jelly, although she might not dig the song
title. Skank surfaced during the Friends episode when Ross moved into
a new apartment and wasn't invited to his neighbors' party. (As usual,
hilarity ensued.)
I'll Be There For You, The Rembrandts— Yeah, even a monkey could tell
you this is a fancy name for the theme song. Don't blare it too early
in the evening or your neighbors might alert the authorities. 
London Calling, The Clash— Heard during the famous "Friends goes to
London" episode, this mix-tape staple helped set the mood — along with
Big Ben and those funny hats worn by the British Guards.
The Pouty Side (tunes you may recognize from breakup, disaster and
baby episodes):
Never There, Cake— It's particularly pleasing when we get to see a
Friends character at work, although these eps aren't generally as
funny as when they drink lattes, make fun of stuff and reminisce about
the '80s. This tune played on the episode when Rachel started working
at Ralph Lauren. For now, we'll pretend that was a totally realistic
plot device.
Don't Stand So Close to Me, The Police— Keen ears might have picked up
on this song during the series' first Thanksgiving episode. Unlike the
lyrics, the story line had nothing to do with a "wet bus stop" or
"that book by Nabokov."
Untitled, Interpol— This tune and a red light bulb will instantly turn
your living room into make-out country. On Friends, it was season
nine's cliffhanger song, heard as Joey and Rachel gave into their
deepest, ickiest desires.
With or Without You, U2— On TV, you associate it with the whole
Ross-Rachel-Julie love triangle. In real life, it reminds you of your
high-school prom date who stepped on your toes in the high-school
gymnasium. Ah, memories. 
Wicked Game, Chris Isaak— When Friends become lovers, they listen to,
um, Chris Isaak. We heard this slow jam during the episode when Ross
and Rachel consummated their relationship at a museum exhibit.
Take a Bow, Madonna— We sure heard a bunch of music during Friends'
first season. This played during The One Where Rachel Finds Out (that
Ross is in love with her). Madge's lyrics pretty much reflect his
feelings.
Only Time, Enya— Any partygoer who isn't out the door by the time Enya
comes on the stereo better have a good excuse! (If you listen to this
mix on your Walkman, go ahead and silently rock out. We won't tell.)

trovato questo post mooolto interessante che sviluppa un'idea che avevo
avuto (ma mai messo in pratica) ed inspiegabilmente passato sotto
silenzio.
onore al jasone che draga la rete per riversare sul NG notiziuole
fresche fresche quando la marea e' bassa e l'influenza lunare si fa
meno sentire.
