#151 - Our Favorite Characters Sing Songs! But It's Not a Musical? (with James Walters)

Feb 7, 2023

Tired of having the TikTok songs stuck in your head? We’re here to help! Well, kind of.

 

My brother, good friend of the show, and candlemaker James Walters and I are talking about original songs sung by characters in TV shows and movies that are not musicals or musical episodes. Yes, it’s a tiny little niche, but we manage to create quite a long list of songs sure to get stuck in your head. You’re welcome in advance.

 

Of course, this is The Couch, where side notes and rabbit trails are always welcome, so James and I get into a Canadian fishing trip, a favorite Glee performance and a new Glee documentary, some changes going on in James’s business, and lots of songs we wanted to include but could not because they didn’t meet the parameters we made for ourselves.

 

As always, we had so much fun talking about music in pop culture and—as always, again—we want to hear your feedback. What songs did we leave out? What pop culture music topic should we tackle next? Tell us all about it over on Instagram or in The Couch Facebook group.

 

Okay, it’s time. Let’s get started!

 

MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:

• The songs in this YouTube playlist
• Sing Street on Freevee
• Ben Schwartz, who plays Jean-Ralphio on Parks and Rec and Yasper on The Afterparty.
