We love Lost for many reasons - its complex characters, original storyline and deep mythology, all of which we enjoy dissecting like Arzt with an arachnid. But let's not overlook the intriguing musical selections the show features, which are often dripping with irony and double meaning. Sure, master composer Michael Giacchino's score is amazing but it's really the inclusion of songs like "Moonlight Serenade" and "Rump Shaker" that make Lost a pop culture phenomena, brimming over with aural Easter eggs.
If you were to present a potential girlfriend with a mixtape filled with these songs, she'd probably think you're a soulful, confused, depressed, brooding, angry country fan who enjoys forays into old school alt rock and frat jams - aka Jack. It's an eclectic mix to be sure, but we're convinced that listening to the songs presented here in one sitting will explain it all - or at least give you musical schizophrenia.
