That is extra awesome VNS! Thanks so much!

Thanks VietNamSounds! I have been searching for The Office theme sheet music and couldn't find it! But thanks for putting it on here.

Or as Dwight would say: For the Longest Time by William Joel

"Performance Review"

what song were they singing? sounded like an old folk song, like vermont hackey-sack folky?

what was that song they were singing? anyone know?

someone will post soon on what the song is/was

Pretty sure it was Closer to Fine by The Indigo Girls. What does everyone else think?

Closer to Fine by the Indigo Girls

More later - loved the episode!!!!

Also - Was Pam waiting for Jim to text her back? Was that what she was expecting to happen?

no, not that song, the acapella song that jim and ed helms where singing drunk

I think it was Closer to Fine by The Indigo Girls....

Closer to Fine by The InDIGo GIRLS. I went to the same college as them a few years later and it was quite the anthem among a certain female demographic. Which makes it all that more hysterical that Andy and Jim (who could've been matress mates) were singing it.

the song was a play on the Adam Sandler SNL Skit "Happy Hanukkah"

YES! thats it, thanks it was driving me crazy

I was watching tonights episode (11/2/06) and heard a song that had also caught my attention on NPR (just a transitional clip) a few days ago. I believe it was the first song played in the background at the party (even shorter than the NPR clip). The only way I can think of describing it further is that it is a man singing/chanting, and his voice gets a bit vibrato (I think that's the word).

I realize this is a random request but it sounded so soothing both times I heard it I figured I'd give it a shot. Since it was on NPR and The Office I thought it might be something that is recently popular enough that people in the know might have heard of it.

If no one can help with the specific song does anyone have any suggestions on how I could find out? Episode credits or something?

Thanks

Where is VietNamSounds when you need him? Our OFFICial Musicologist is MIA...

Edit: Duh! Mountain Time Zone...

VNS has been gone MIA for awhile

Mountain Time Zone? Is that the location of the crest of the la... never mind.

Uncle Scaggs:

The song you mentioned is "Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna" from the Bollywood movie, "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge." Here's a youtube link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of23ZO80F1s

It is my absolute favorite bollywood movie of all time and one of my favorite movies period (and I'm just your average straight white guy). Every song in that movie is a winner. I flipped when I heard it playing at the party. Although I shouldn't be surprised: It's in the Guiness Book of World Records as the longest showing movie in history. It showed (I think it's still there) in the same Mumbai theater for over 10 years straight!

Check it out!

"Closer to Fine" by The Indigo Girls

VNS will update the first post as time permits - in the meantime, ask and discuss here!

Yeaaaa Caesar!

The only ones I'm missing are:
Stars by Lamar (from the Jim and Pam season 3 promo)
Girls Gone Wild-Captain Ahab (playing in background during Michales 308 party)

If anyone could direct me to where I could find them that'd be great. And I could only find slower lyrical versions of little drummer boy, none as 'alert' as the one dwight does.

We also need to know the metal song playing in Dwight's car when he was taking Ryan to his beetfarm in "Initiation".

Hey, this is a very useful thread

Now can anyone tell me what song was playing in Diwali, when Pam and Michael were outside talking on the steps? You can hear it well if you crank the volume a bit. I really want to know what song that is, it sounds great

Here is a link to where you can listen to the "Stars" song
Stars- by Lamar
and here is a link to Captain Ahab's myspace music page
Myspace music

Thanks a lot for those links bubblewrap

The songs that are missing are:
-Chili's baby back ribs from the Client, I actually managed to find it to download
-The song playing in Dwight's car when he's with Ryan in The Initiation
-the song playing in Diwali someone mentioned on the first page and i downloaded as "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge- Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna"
I'm not sure if there were other ones playing during that episode.

Hey, what was the name of the song Jim and Andy were singing when they were drunk? Is it an actual song? or something made-up for the show.

.......


nvm, didnt know this thread was here, new here.
Great thread, very useful. Thanks everyone

this was answered, i think three times above, but anyway, it was closer to fine by the indigo girls.

oh, and thanks so much for the link to stars by lamar, i haven't been able to find it anywhere, not even on itunes.

thanks again

Oh yeah they also played "Crazy in Love" by Beyonce in Diwali where Roy walked in and saw Pam having fun.

which episode does dwight compare himself and michael to mozart and mozarts friend, and butch cassidy?

someone around here has the signature- "oh a customer well sound the alarm" (sorry can't remember who exactly it is right now- but its been bothering me for days to which episode that's in- and I feel so guilty I can't remember

Isn't that in "The Carpet" when Michael's going around and bugging everyone, because he's not in his office?He said this to Stanley, because he was on the phone and wouldn't talk to Michael.

Thank you!! I haven't seen that episode in a really long time so that's probably why I didn't remember- and to continue with WhitestSneakers question (which I don't know the answer to at the moment)

Office Olympics

Dwight Schrute: I have been Michael's number two guy for about five years, and we make a great team. We're like one of those classic famous teams. He's like Mozart and I'm like Mozart's friend. No, I'm like Butch Cassidy and Michael is like Mozart. You try and hurt Mozart, you're gonna get a bullet in your head, courtesy of Butch Cassidy.

thank you so much, it was so annoying not knowing when they said it

I think it's the Lone Ranger.

I saw that this past weekend I cant remember though. She tells him to take one and he asks Do you want a vacation this year? To that effect

which episode does dwight eat lots of stuff from angelas desk?

He eats tootsie rolls off Angela's desk while he's putting together the Saturday work schedule in "Basketball."
She says something like one per person, and he implies he can have her work this Saturday if she's got a problem. How did she ever end up dating him?

I think its from Basketball- isn't that where he is in charge of the big board?

Yes and then Michael gives it to Jim to do. Angela deserves her freakie-ness with Dwight 100%

The words 'freak', 'Angela', and 'Dwight' are just . . . ewwwww. . .

Air Supply's "All Out Of Love" was supposedly playing while Pam and Michael were in her car at the end of the Diwali episode. I could not hear it myself but if you put the caption/text on that's what it says so technically I dunno if that counts.......

what an awesome thread. my fav parts of the last two episodes involve jim and singing.

I love the sheet music! Wish there was some for the whole song...

Can somebody help me finding the song that your hear right after Pam arrives to the Diwali party? You see some Indians with their hands in the air when it's on.

I'm danish, sorry.

I'm pretty sure the song playing when Michael is spitting out his samosa is the song "Ek Ladki Ko Dekha" from the Bollywood film 1942: A Love Story. Just happens to be the only Hindi song I know; imagine my surprise to hear it on this episode! Here's the youtube link. Tell me if you think I'm right.
