Frequently Asked Questions About...
Scrubs Music
- Q.: I'm after an instrumental tune that's not listed.
A.: If it's an instrumental and hasn't been credited, it's more than likely composed by the show's music guy Jan Stevens, and isn't independently available. Sorry!
- Q.: Who or what is "Tart"? I can't find anything about them anywhere!
A.: We're not 100% sure about this, either. Several sources and clues indicate that there is a Tart-Keren DeBerg connection, and we're doing our best to connect all the dots in this mystery.
- Q.: Some songs you have listed are different from what's on the DVD.
A.: By our tally, 13 songs were replaced in the Season One DVD. The discrepancies are noted in-list, and we're trying to track down all the replacements as quickly as possible. (Latest added June 28, '07 [thanks, jools9!]. 7 down, 6 to go!)
- Q.: Where can I download these songs?
A.: Most can be found on iTunes, which can be easily accessed at this nifty Scrubs iMix.
