The medically minded Scrubs is an eccentric affair, populated by a zany cast of residents saving lives while learning life's little lessons in the process. Though lacking the show's oddball humor, its soundtrack is undeniably earnest, with a rich understanding of the pleasures and hardships faced by the hospital workers. The show's theme song, Lazlo Bane's quirky banjo twanger, sighs "I'm no Superman," as an uncharacteristically subdued Guided by Voices track cautions to "Hold on Hope." Ex-Men at Work frontman Colin Hay lends his sage advice with acoustic renditions of "Beautiful World" and the chestnut "Overkill," while Eels' "Fresh Feeling" begins with a tuning orchestra and turns into a tripping beatfest. The highlights, though, belong to Francis Dunnery, sounding uncannily like Peter Gabriel on the high-tea string elegance of "Good Life," and the Shins, with "New Slang," a humble campfire song. Puttering along pleasantly, Scrubs, while a little bland, is nevertheless a life-affirming collection that's as hopeful as the aspiring young doctors on the show. --Annie Zaleski

But! BUT! BUT!! Two of the most memorable songs from the show are AWOL. ONE: Nil Lara's "Fighting For My Love" (From the ep "My Drug Buddy") Remember the first time JD and Eliot hooked up, and the great song that played? ("Now I'm standing next to you. I think I've changed my point of view.") TWO: The UNDERDOG theme (from the ep "My Hero") C'MON!! To me this is like the Dr Cox theme song. It's abscence is just about unforgivable.

Some of the songs seem a bit melancholy, but still are easy to listen to. Was this review helpful to you?

First, I was disappointed that SUPERMAN was the slow song, when the upbeat version mostly used in the SCRUBS intro was what I had really hoped for. OK, I'm guessing, maybe there isn't really a fast version of this song except for the short piece recorded for the show. But then I knew I'd been cheated when the whole version of OVERKILL wasn't put on the CD! I had taped the episode this was on, and they used a whole verse in the show that was NOT put on the album! I really doubt Colin Hay recorded an extra verse for the show, which means there is a longer acoustic version of OVERKILL floating around out there somewhere. Is there some reason they couldn't put the whole song on this CD? Does anyone know where the full-length version of this song is? Was this review helpful to you?
