CAn anyone help me with this? I'm trying to remember which episodes had songs in them and which those songs were. It could be songs such as Robot Hell in "Hell Is Other Robots" or just background songs as in "Episode 2: the Series Has Landed". What I want is the name of the episode, name of song (or whatever you wanna call it) and who sings it.
One more thing; does Hermes's girlfriend have a name?
Thanks
Hermes's wife is named LaBarbara

And when she finds out about this "girlfriend" business, Hermes is in deep jerky. :)
Hermes has a wife whom he gets along great with. I can't remember her name, though. And as for the background music, maybe you could check out some Futurama websites and see if they have any in MIDI files.
Episode 2: "The Series Has Landed" had a few songs that i can remember. The "whalers of the moon" song from the luna park A very short clip from Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the moon " album, when Fry sees the advancing darkness, a quick little strum from the first song off that album appears. And don't forget when Bender gets the magnets stuck to his head and he breaks out into folk songs.
The Episode "Fry and the Slurm Factory" had the Grunka Lunka's in the slurm factory singing various songs.
The Robot Hell episode had the Beastie Boys singing "Integalatic" and "Sabotage", plus the "Robot Hell" song sung by Beezelbot and various charaters.
I'm sure there is more, just can't remember off the top of my head.

"Santa Clause is Gunning You Down" from the Xmas episode.
The future disco music in Love's Labor Lost in Space.
"I Like Big Butts" (if that's the name of the song) by Sir Mix-a-Lot from "A Fish Full of Dollars."
"Sabotage" (or whatever the correct name is) by The Beasty Boys in "Fear of a Bot Planet". I think this episode also had a few bars of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at the beginning.
The bureaucracy song from "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back".
The Birthday Song and The El Chupanebray (I have no clue how to spell that properly) song the mutant sings in "I Second That Emotion"
In "Mars University" there was some incidental music during the regatta and at the end during the parade.
The self playing instruments when they first enter Luna Park in "The Series Has Landed"
The dance hall music the robot Rocketts are dancing to and the traditional gangsta rap in "The Lesser of to Evils".
The surf music that Slurms McKenzie dances to in the commercial and then in the tunnel of "Fry and the Slurm Factory."
"We'll Meet Again" from the closing credits of the garbage ball episode.
Bender's "Single Female Lawyer" theme song.
The Poppler song from "The Problem With Popplers".
The Robo-rotor commercial. I forget which episode. "Call Robo-rotor if you flush a towel. And we can also help with an impacted bowel".
In "Anthology of interest" they play a few bars of "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath.
That's all that come to mind. Probably more that I can't think of right now.

I really don't think incidental mucic should count otherwise that would be every episode.
I beleve the name of that tune is "Baby Got Back"
? In fear of a Bot Planet? Beasty Boys? When?
The song at the end was "Shout" Don't know the band.
That was Anarchaic music noise.
Robo-Rooter.
I think you got all of it. Of couse if you get excessive their's "Hail to the Chief" in "A Head In The Polls".

I obviously got that one wrong. It was, of course, "Hell is Other Robots". They both start at Madison Cube Garden, hence the confusion.
"Take Me Out to the Ball Game" was from "Fear of a Bot Planet". --Larry

They also opened with "Intergalactic".
The original band was the Isley Brothers, but the version that was heard was a cover by the fictional band Otis Day & the Knights from the film Animal House.
The song that was played as Fry and Umbriel cavort in "The Deep South" is "Atlantis," by Donovan. Later in the episode, the Chamber of Commerce video spoofs the intro to this song.
The song that is played when Fry, Amy, and Zoidberg are driving to Europa is "Moons of Jupiter," by Scruffy the Cat, a Boston-area group from the '80s. I have the lyrics to this song if anyone wants (I haven't been able to find them on the net, so I just transcribed them myself).

I don't know how you missed Donovan's "Hail Atlanta" (okay, not QUITE a song...). Or the song playing on Amy's radio as she, Fry, and Zoidberg headed to Europa in "Put your Head on my Shoulder", or the Martian song she was singing in the same episode.
How is it not quite a song? It sure sounds like one to me. I mean, what with the *singing*... and all... "Way down, below the ocean, where I wanna be, she may be..." Yup, song all right.
"Moons of Jupiter," Scruffy the Cat, 1988.
You know, this one was puzzling me. No one I've spoken to has been able to identify it, or even confirm that she sings it in a present-day language (such as Cantonese or Mandarin). Perhaps this one was just made up for the show, or perhaps the script didn't call for a specific song, just to have Amy singing, and Lauren Tom just ad-libbed something.
On Tue, 31 Oct 2000, Andrew Levine stated this considered view. Waking from my doze, I hastily scrawled -
I loved their parody of 'Santa Claus is coming to town'

I _have_ to get hold of a complete version of the "song" that's on the radio of Amys new Beta Romeo when she and Fry are on Mercury. :)
