> [@ArchiveGuy](#): > > New Rule: TV shows should no longer be allowed to close their episode with “Halleljuah!” as a poignant reminder of the blah de blah blah. Amen. I like that song. I liked it the first time I heard it on **The West Wing**. It didn’t really fit there, but it kind of worked with the mood of the moment. Sort of. Especially if, like me, the viewer wasn’t all that familiar with the song. It completely didn’t fit in last night’s House. I’ve no clue who thought “I know, ‘Hallelujah’ is sort of slow moving. This is a sort of slow series of scenes. Let’s stick them together!” It was a bad, bad, bad choice for an otherwise good episode. ---

Re: _Halleljuah_ Where do I know this song from? I know I’ve heard it in a movie or TV show in the past, but I can’t quite place it. Since I’ve never seen _The West Wing_, I know it’s not that… ---

I’m confused about why they jumped to a list of drugs that could have been messing with the guy’s anion gap. I’m sitting there saying “Alcohol. Alcohol. Alcohol” to my TV. They weren’t listening. Sure, drugs can affect it too, but that many doctors and nobody thought that maybe the guy had alcohol in his system? **Hal Briston** : The song is on the Shrek soundtrack. Could that be where you heard it? ---

Hallelujah was featured prominently in the finale of the first season of _Without a Trace_, which was the first time I heard it. ---

“Hallelujah” was also the show-closing song of a first-season \The O.C.\ episode. You think TV show music directors are just too lazy to listen to some new music and find another sad song? ---

You think TV show music directors are just too lazy to listen to some new music and find another sad song? They could always go with “Mad World.” That one must have been used a dozen times during the last TV season. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/house-9-13-05/321502.md?page=1)
