From:
"Dr. Tad Winslow"Morning Train (Nine To Five) (Sheena Easton)
i'm not sure, but i don't think this is a real song
Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) (Green Day)
also mentioned by another poster Shining Star (Earth, Wind & Fire) [The Bookstore(?)]
does the theme from merv griffin count?
Superman theme - the race
The Fatigues - It's "Adagio for Strings, Op.11" by Samuel Barber, composed in 1936 when he was just 25 years old.
Holy Shit! I can't believe you missed one out :)
I am of course refering to Kramers 12" remix of "The wheels of the bus" which went a little like this:
"The woman across the street has nothing on, nothing on, nothing on" "The woman across the street has nothing on, all day long".

Wow that's a pretty extensive list. Can someone tell me which one's those are the songs from the Episode where George buy's 'John' Voight's Le Baron ?
George: "Everyone's smilin at me. I can;t hear a word they're sayin. Just drivin around in Jon Voight's car..." ?? And the one at the ending credit's where Jerry takes Kramer to a Hospital in Bellvue aon a train ? I think "I ain't goin to no Bellvue"
Were these the the same song? from MIdnight Cowboy?
The real song is "Everybody's Talkin'" recorded by Nilsson. it was the theme song for the movie "Midnight Cowboy."
yes, the end is also a "Midnight Cowboy" quote/reference.

Well the only one I can come up with straight away is "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" by MJ. Which was never part of any episode, but featured in the Finale clip show.
My favourite song would be the one that goes "My baby takes the morning train, he works from 9 till 5 and then, he takes another home again, to find me waiting for him." Was in 2 episodes AFAIK.
Then there was Slowride by Foghat, Desparado by The Eagles and Witchy Woman also by the eagles, not to mention Oya Come Va by Carlos Santana.
Too many too mention.

That song is Sheena Easton's 9 to 5. (Though I haven't seen an episode featuring it.)

Both episodes were work related, if I remember correctly. One was the collage of George's first days at "Play Now" as a handicapped employee, the song played as he rode a lift chair (no doubt installed just for his benefit) up the stairwell. The other episode was Kramer's days working for a large downtown firm he really didn't work for.
Kramer: "You know it's my busy time of year, Jerry!"
