Scrubs, as well as being a very popular TV show, has been known to have some of the best background music. I’ve found so many new songs just by watching scrubs, but here is the five songs I consider to be the best.

The Fray – “How To Save A Life” (Cox’s patients die)

5. Colin Hay – Overkill

Season 2, Episode 1: Appears throughout the episode, playing on JDs mind.

4. Sideways – Citizen Cope

Season 5, Episode 4: At the end of the episode, when we see that Kelso does feel pain when a patient dies, and that he hasn’t got a heart of stone.

3. In the Sun – Joseph Arthur

Season 5, Episode 5: This is when Jack is being baptised, and Cox decides to turn up to see it.

2. Winter – Joshua Radin

Season 3, Episode 14: During Ben’s funeral, when Dr Cox realises what has actually happened – an incredibly well made episode.

1. How to Save A Life – The Fray

Season 5, Episode 20: Dr Cox loses 3 transplant patients and blames himself for their deaths. I think this is one of the best Scrubs episode, especially at the end. The music creates such a good atmosphere and along with John McGinley’s fantastic acting it makes the perfect ending.

There are lots of other fantastic songs used in the show, but these are the five which really stood out to me!
