Why did it take me so many years to realize the House theme is a track from Mezzanine by Massive Attack?

I used to listen to this album all the time, how did I forget about Teardrop?

I have a related question; why is this in GQ?

Maybe because Teardrop has words, and the intro to House uses a section without words. If you missed it, you may be interested to learn that there is one episode where they use a [José González](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9B-h1EEsKDA) version of the song (during the ep, not the title).
