I realize you wrote this post a long time ago but I agree that this show has some real promise. Let's hope it lasts long enough to get an audience.

Sorry, another very late comment. I was very happy to hear it's been picked up for a full season. Here's hoping they don't tinker with it too much!

Where did the program go? I searched each night last week, and could not find it on. And it has not been on thus far this week. Any ideas? I certainly hope it has not been cancelled. It is one of the few programs I will watch.

House M.D. is the best television series ever!! I am almost afraid to like it to much because then it will go away as alot of shows I love do. The sarcastic, intelligent Dr. House is a riot to watch!! This new series better stick around and I hope that, it is and it will get all the recognition it so rightly deserves. These guys have a great thing going in every episode. Educational, informative, mysterious, comedic, and addictive to watch, these guys have got it right. The man is scary intelligent and sarcastic and I love it!

House is one of the best shows in a long time. How can you not love someone who is so sarcastic and astute yet loves monster truck jams? His line "Gravedigger never fails to deliver." was just right for a fan of those things. Many kudos to what must be a great group of writers. Now I too will sweat that it will either be cancelled or, worse yet, smoothed out to be more mainstream.

I'm so glad there are other House fans out there. I told a couple of my friends about it (and by "told them about it" I mean practically recited line for line) and after one episode, they were as hooked as I was. By the time it was time for their second episode, they were waiting for it and it was all they could talk about that day. We're fearing that Fox will have yet another brain lapse and either take it off the air or turn it into a loving doctor type show. I'm so glad they picked it up for the season and I hope they continue to do so.

I forgot to put this in the last post, but you mentioned there was a lack of dialogue for your article. Anyone who wants some of the dialogue, I wrote down some of the funny lines and I'd be happy to e-mail them to you. Keep in mind, they may not be word for word, because I think the words got a bit mixed up here and there when I was writing them. :-p But just e-mail me if you want them and I'll do my best to get them to you.

best show EVER. I hope it runs for like 10 years like the ER

I am totally a House fan too, since episode one. Does anyone remember the Rolling Stones song that way played during the intro for the first episode? I was wondering why it was only used for one (or two, I can't remember) episodes. Did they lose the rights to the song?

Theresa,

In the episode about the woman CEO with heart failure I just loved the use of the Who "Teenage Wasteland" piece with House acting out playing the keyboards and drums. Keith Moon's drumming was great at his peak.

I also loved House's advice to spend less time reading books and more time watching television.

Anyone else notice that Chi Bridges is now the uber rich billionaire thats funding the hospital. He used to be the principal on Boston Public. Im still holding my breath for Jeri Ryan, Teacher/Borg.

I love this show!!! But does anyone know how many episodes there has been? The last couple of episodes that have been on I haven't seen but someone I know say they're a re-run but I swear I've seen every episode since it premiered. I've anticipated for 9 o'clock to come every Tuesday since the first episode and I don't know how I missed any.

Help. On last night's episode of House, there was this music/song right at the end. House was sitting at his desk, sad about something. Please help with the name of the song, or the artist. Dave Matthews?
Thanks.

As a social service worker who has to watch every word, I love listening to House say all the things I really really want to. Ah....the freedom!

This new show House MD has been a great success, I love the show i watch it every time its on!! I am so excited for the next episode i want to see what house does with his ex wife and her husband!??

I am also trying to find the name of the song from the last clip of the 5/10 episode of House, M.D. I am sure it is Dave Matthews, but I can't find the song. Anybody know? Please email me @ shorteelopez@hotmail.com. Thanks!

first off you spell his name Hugh Laurie!!!and im addicted to house-i even tape it!!! I cant beleive cameron loved house but house loved stacey-gah!!! stacey should b w/ house hes the one she loves...but shes gonna b in 7 episodes of the next season so somethins gonna go down!!!

ok if u wanna know the music from house go to www.have-dog.com/house beleive me it is good! u can listen 2 the song clips 2, if anyone is addicted 2 hugh laurie like me go to www.hughlaurie.co.uk and www.hughlaurie.net those sites rock my sox!!!

It was "Some Devil" by Dave Matthews.

The theme music from House MD is the intro and ending to "Tear Drop" by Massive Attack.

Great intro

it seems alot different, maybe because it has lyrics, and the intro to house does'nt, it just is'nt right.

You're right Shane, it isn't the same. There are 2 different themes. The 'Teardrop' theme is the one used in America but it is different in the UK. Right now i don't know what it is but want to know, if you ever find out post it on here please =)

~*~laura~*~

Is there any place to find out the title/artist of a song I heard on House? Specifically, it was episode 19 (Kids). Thanks!!

Hey,
The theme for House MD in australia, NZ and UK is not Teardrop by Massive attack

I don't know the name of the song, but, it was on a Ministry Of Sound ablum (possibly the '02 annual) - if someone could find out and post the title of it here that would b great!

hey guys!!! I FINALLY found the theme song for House MD - its called "american dream" and is by Jakatta!!!

Enjoy!

I also love this program. Did it go for more than one season? I watched them all and loved every one of them!

The UK House MD theme (and presumably Australia too) can be found at:

Good things,

Does anyone have any idea what is the theme song for House in Latin America?? cause i downloaded American dream(Jakatta)and tear drop by massive attack but it is neither one of them.

does anyone have any idea what the theme song played at the beginning of every episode in the U.S. is?

Its "Teardrop" by Massive Attack. Thanks imdb.com

Does anyone know why House is in so much pain. What caused his disability?

can n e one email me hous's favourite song? its starts off with harpsichord, my emil is tomh_48@msn.com

Its called "Baba O'Reilly' by the who

Does any body know why there are different theme songs in different regions? Is it a licensing thing?

Very curious....

this show is amazing. i really did think i was alone in thinking so but i was wrong. house's sarcasim and witty lines are amazing. its also a very intelligent show.

WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE SONG PLAYED AT THE VERY END OF THE SEPT. 27TH EPISODE OF HOUSE MD.
IT SOUNDED LIKE DAMIEN RICE TO ME

i want the theme song to house too but i cant find it so i think its teardrop but they edited it a bit to make it sound better.

What is the song House is playing along to with the keyboard and drums but then its ruined by the big guy that has taken the hospital over??
can anyone help me please!!!

Dont worry found it :-) it was that who song cheers ppls

The Damien Rice song is "Delicate."

THE ENDING THEME IS NOT THE ENDING OF TEARDROP!
May be if people actually listened they'd figure out is the same artist but COMPLETELY DIFFERENT chords! Just listen to the ending... http://a425.v8384d.c8384.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/426/8384/3b858b51/mtvrdstr.download.akamai.com/8512/wmp/0/840/1548_1_3_05.asf

the song at the end of that one episode is called babba o'reiley by the who

broken link?
http://www.even-star.co.uk/House_UK_theme.mp3
does any1 no where else to find australian (and UK) theme song

Possible flaw in House - Could someone please check if i'm right. In Episode 18 (Babies & Bathwater,i think that the sign on Dr. Wilson's door said Dr Michael Wilson, rather than Dr James Wilson. Thanks

I want to know is what the song was that played as the intro with the credits for Australia's House MD is the US one different coz I herd it was teardrop but nothing like it is played for the intro in House

i think it is "american dream" and is by Jakatta!!! (mentioned above)

sick thanx heaps man i was looking 4 it 4 so looong

yea i've been reading about your posts here, im looking for the theme song for house its neither Jakatta or massive attack plz help soon

hey i LOVE HOUSE OMG HES SO AWESOME..for the australian themesong its definantly not american dream by jakkatta

All i can say is that House is one of the best dramas i have ever seen. Hugh Laurie, an englishman plays an American arrogant doctor. the accent is perfect and he plays the part brilliantly. long may it continue

I reckon that too but its a shame 4 heaps of aussies that don't watch it its lyk the SICKIST!!!

Has anyone solved the solution of the theme song for House in Australia? I am in Victoria and it sounds like Massive Attack but is it? Its not Jakatta. I know IMBD.com says it is MA. I would still like the 'house' version if anyone knows where I can get it? None of the above links are working for me.
Thanx

I just started watching the region one DVD release of House, and the music that plays during the titles is different than what played here in New Zealand (I'm guessing it is the Massive Attack song). The music that plays over the credits doubled as the title music here.

Hugh Lourie on "Ellen Show" 11/3/05 and on Craig Ferguson's Show 11/7/05

heres what i can establish. Teardrop by Massive Attack is the US theme. Baba O'Reilly by The Who is the song house is listening to when the executive (can't remember his name) walks in and House is playing drums and piano on his desk. American Dream by Jakatta is in the Australian House, but i don't think it is the main theme. Comments Welcome.

the best thing on television, i cant bear it that it is nearly finished. please make another series

This is the theme for House as it aired in New Zealand. I imagine that Australia had the same.

http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3

OMG!!!!!!! nos thanxx heaps mate but do u noe the full verison

No idea, sorry. I stumbled onto this place looking to find out why the Region 1 DVDs I bought had different intro music then when it screened on tv, and to find out why the DVDs were only in letterbox, and not 16:9 enhanced.

I hope there's a longer version of the NZ/Australian/UK theme out there.

yeah i agree it sound soooo sick eh?

when will people learn that it is not massive attack's teardrop. just listen and you will know that its sounds like it but isnt. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS TO AS EVERYONE DOES but is it or is it not american dream buy jakatta.

In America, the theme IS Tear Drop. In Australia and New Zealand at least, the theme is neither Tear Drop or American Dream, however, American Dream does sometimes feature as background music in the programme itself.

ok then so what is the theme song why is it so hard to find this god dam thing

As a teenager hoping to accepted into med-school, really enjoying the House, MD vibe. can anyone tell me where I can possibly find the original theme song of this series. not the massive attack - teardrop, but the track that is played at the beginning... thanks team

BOYZ take it easy read uppppp!!!!!!
http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3

hey who here who is not Australian, British or Kiwi likes our theme for house better than Teardrop by Massive Attack?
Go to http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3 to listen to it.
I think it's much much much better

Hey, I live in Aus. and I've been researching the theme tune for House. Everyone seems to reckon it's Teardrop in the US and American Dream over here. It's not American Dream. It's Teardrop over here as well, they've changed it so it's fairly different to the original but you can still tell that it's Teardrop. It most certainly is not American Dream.

OMG!!!! Doesn't anyone read from the top any more Read at the top plz
this is it the theme for the aussies
http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3

It's not tear drop by massive attack as I'm fan of the group. It has the feel and sound of it but NO, it's not the song. it's a different one

Damn, too many songs, I just want one thing cleared (I have the house theme for UK/aus, don't remember where I got it from though, and it's only the theme) I want to know the song, And i need confirmation, positive confirmation, that it is correct, and where to find it (prefferably for free), the song that house is playing, when the billionare comes in and ruins it..

P.S If anyone needs the house aus/uk theme, just e-mail me and i'll send it to you, it's quiet though, as it is obviously a recording, but it's the stuff
E-mail: riomerc@bigpond.net.au

Wow you're right Complex, it seems people only read the latest post on the page, and if that doesn't have the answer then they ask their question which has already been answered half a dozen times.

RioMerc, the name of the song you requested has been posted on this one page a number of times already, as has a link to the non-US theme to House. The name of the song you're after is called "Baba O'Reilly". If you want to know who the artist is (no pun intended) you could spend a few seconds reading the other posts on this page. Who knows (again, no pun intended), you might learn more interesting things about the programme while you're at it.

Your wayward song is also the theme to CSI: New York.

yeh i use the theme song of house(http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3) as my mp3 ringtone its soo sick man

please e-mail me about the song title that was played on november 15 house episode.the song was played at the end ing of the show.

When I first saw a US bootleg I had assumed that there was something wrong with my audio since the intro theme sounded the same as for AU except with the flute removed.

Or perhaps it is more correct to say that the AU theme sounds like teardrop with a flute dubbed over it.

My guess would be that it's from a teardrop remix

I have really enjoyed this show, most of you over in america are a few seasons ahead of us over in australia but i can tell you it has been a huge hit over here too.

I am NOT a tv person at all, in fact i avoid it at all opportunity because i find its all virtually crap but House MD is the ONLY show i watch, which i think in itself says something.

Yeah, the international theme definitely has similarities to Teardrop, most likely a remix.

What season are they up to in the US? I'm only assuming they're up to season two.

its exactly what DUDE said the song was, well atleast for England it is anyway

http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3

I quote Nos "RioMerc, the name of the song you requested has been posted on this one page a number of times already, as has a link to the non-US theme to House.

Who knows (again, no pun intended), you might learn more interesting things about the programme while you're at it."

I read all the posts, But I found that there were a few different suggestions towards the name of that song, or atleast, I saw a few different names of songs that weren't precisley titled as to what they were, well, at least I got a straightforward answer..
P.S I know who made the song, The who, who also made the theme song for the orignial CSI

As Far as i can tell that the UK Version theme was an original Peice made by the show its neither Teardrop or American Dream.

Does anyone know the last song played as the episode closed out on Nov 22 ("Hunting" episode)?? Help! would be much appreciated.

for the sake of completion...

American Dream by Jakatta is the song played sometimes in Ten's PROMOs of house - not part of the show! you can recognise the song by the distinctive perky, xylophone-like sounds.

i rekon the aus/euro theme sounds better, but

and on a final note... bloody channel ten! we have to wait till next year to get our season two! i hate summer programming! :P

Here in NZ we have to wait till next year for season two as well.

Yeah i reckon it sucks that we hav to wait till next year but the last epi for house in australia my mum kicked me out coz i threw a remote at my bro lol so i missed it but i am going to buy the whole season of house when it comes out

theme song is........ THE WHO - BABA O'REILLY ............. for all those who didnt pick that up...... :)

Hi. I'm from Malaysia. And i just wanna say a huge ass thank you to Nos for your wonderful contribution to this forum. Your deed is greatly appreciated.

http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3

WooHoo!

Hey guys, I'm from Brazil, and I just want to say that Teardrop "Massive Attack" is the one played here in Brazil, instrumental only.. not one word is said.
And I heard the one that you said that played in Australia, and it's really similar to massive attack, so I guess it's just a different version.

One person asked what house is in so much pain and what his disability is... this was revealed in one of the final episodes of the first season (and is also a recurring issues in Season 2)...

House had a disease that infected the muscle in his right leg severly. He could either have the leg muscle amputated or attempt treatment. He chose the route of the treatment, whereas his wife at the time wanted him to have the amputation. At one point in the story line, house's wife takes the doctor aside and tells him to do the surgery no matter what house says. Although the surgery is a success, it leaves house extremly crippled and barely able to walk. This causes house's bitter resentment for his wife, evident in both the first and second seasons, and it could also be specualted that her actions have caused the total disregard for rules that house now employs with each new patient.

Also, the first 10 seconds of the song "Teardrop" by Massive Attack are base of the main theme of house.

The uniform "post commercial music" is from the song "American Dream" by Jakatta and is only four to five seconds long.

These two songs are strictly for the American version of the show, I cannot say what other countries use as the theme song.

Hope i could help.

Hey i'm a born and bread Aussie teen, who was just wondering if anyone knew what the name of the song is, that plays at the end of episode 1x08 'Poison', when House and Foreman get into the elevator and look down at their shoes. i looked on a website which said there were no commercial songs used in that episode, but it sounded like a recorded song, not just a musical skit put together for the show.
If anyone has any ideas or evidence or website refferals, please send me an email with your information. My email is:

from Edie :D
p.s. Please send along any 'HOUSE m.d' quotes, sayings etc. that you have.

Hear Jakatta's American Dream

http://www.videocodezone.com/videos/j/jakatta/american_dream.html

hey guys calm down the theme song for australia is teardrop by massive attack, its just been edited a bit because they had licensing options so yea theres no vocals in it either

Its quite funny reading everyone asking the same questions, but i got a new one for you all! Does anyone know the name of the song that they play on the commercials in Australia, you hear nothing but piano and it is not the theme song. Its a really cute sounding song. None of this disco drumming stuff.
Melanie

Im so conufused.Can someone give me a finall complete 100% answer on the opening theme for house.... please :).

Oh and by the way HAPPY NEWYEAR HOUSE FANS!! :).

in reply to Sqeetum, Massive Attack's 'tear drop' is the theme song for the American House, in Aus, it is either a remix or some kind of dubed tear drop, which some people think is actually jakatta's 'American Dreams'. I think that covers most of it but i still need to know the name of the song that is used on channel ten's adds with the cute piano peice.
PLEASE can someone tell me.

Melanie

Thanx Mel ;).

the goddamn australian theme is not tear drop at all. If they had licensing isues they wouldn't be able to use it all, even if they cut it to hell and back. Listen to this http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3 and tell me its bloody tear drop! ITS NOT! SOMEBODY FIND THE FULL VERSION!

This site is a useful resource for a breakdown of the incidental music and artist by episode:

http://www.have-dog.com/house/

It also refers to 'Teardrop' and Massive Attack for the opening credits, but we've more or less established that outside the US, the music is NOT Teardrop. For those unfamiliar with 'Teardrop', you can download an acoustic version by Jose Gonzalez at this URL:

http://www.audiofordrinking.com/mp3s/Jose.Gonzalez.Teardrop.mp3

To me, the bridge without the vocals, re-arranged and slowed down could pass for the theme music from House, but I think the House theme is actually an original piece. Note the credits at the end of each episode for the music by Jon Ehrlich and Jason Derlatka, who apparently write scores for film and television. There is an article concerning them and work they're doing on a new TV series entitled 'Invasion' at this URL:

http://www.soundtrack.net/news/article/?id=657

I don't know for sure that they are responsible for the opening credits theme, they may just be the blokes who have written the incidental music for House, but I think it's most likely they wrote the main title theme used outside the US also. Anyone else have any ideas?

I agree that the confusion concerning Jakatta may have arisen in Australia through Channel Ten's use of 'American Dreams' to promote the series.

Does anyone know the US ending theme song?? I know the opening theme is Massive Attack - Teardrops, cause I'm listening to it now LOL. But I cant find the name of the ending theme. Anyone?

The opening theme is "Teardrop" by Massive Attack, although due to rights and licensing issues this music is not used for the show in the UK, Australia, Italy, New Zealand and Latin America which instead use a piece of music named "House", written specifically for the show.

Hope this helps!

Andrew, the music used over the credits in America is the same music that is used as the opening theme elsewhere.

I have the full version of teardrop by massive attack.

Email me and i will send it to you.

Or check www.bresso.com

Hi everyone

I'm a House fan from Australia, and I was wondering if someone could tell me how to get the housetheme (Australian version) as a ringtone on my cellphone.

Thanks

I read that the House theme in AU NZ + UK is called "House" and was made especially for the show due to copyright reasons regarding Teardrop.

Anyone know of a good "spoiler" site for the future episodes?

Hiii i found a page that might help out you guys...it has some song titles for each episode =] http://www.tunefind.com/show/House
hope it helps =] Love house!!!!

oh yeh and i found the american version of the theme song (http://www.kfcplainfield.com/sound/housemd.mp3) and the Australia/uk/NZ is (http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3) but they're not full version...unfortunately!!! >.

Hey!!! Somebody can tell me the name of the theme song used in Latin America??? It's not Teardrop, it's not American Dream... then, what is it???

hi, im a huge house fan was a fan of hugh laurie before in british comedy,and house is brilliant,can anyone tell me the background music during sad bits etc,its a sort of distant reverb piano with ambient soundscape,its in most episodes if anyone can tell me the artist or the name of the track,ive heard it in other programmes as well...thanks ..john

THE THEME TO HOUSE MD IN AMERICA IS BABA O'REILLY BY THE WHO !! SOME ONE UP THERE FINNALY GOT IT, AND I THANK YOU WARMLY.

I've uploaded a NZ television promo for the upcoming season 2 of House. Is the music featured on it the same music used for the UK's theme of Season 2?

http://www.nos.net.nz/housepromo.html

hey, thanks a bunch guys. I was going insane searching for the theme song. Everyone was claiming it was teardrop but its not it in Turkey. http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3 is our theme and i belive its much better. Does anyone knows the name of the song?

Here's the New Zealand (and presumably UK, Australia, Turkey, South American) theme to the second season of House MD. Not as good as the theme from season one, or Teardrop for that matter.

http://www.nos.net.nz/HouseSeason2Theme.mp3

does anyone have the actual file of the season one of house from http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3?

Sorry Ric, I'm not quite sure what you're asking.

I agree that http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3 was most likely made for the show... wonder if they will release a soundtrack for house with it on... hint hint

House is the best medical show I've seen on tv in yonks. In Australia we've seen the first episode of season 2 I liked the part where House walks into office and finds Cameron sitting there in his chair and they both begin to talk. Cameron really knows how to get pissed off. My first favourite line was (from the show) Cameron:"Its coz of me isn't it? I'm over you, I've jumped on the bandwagon, I hate you okay?" House: "okay. Do 2 more of my clinic hours and then you can do the test" and Cameron nods.

HOUSE M.D ROX

I too already know the theme songs and songs used in thes series. However, the song I want is the classical-sounding piano tune at the beginning of the commercials for House in Australia, played behind the "This is House..." voice over. Anyone with any information please e-mail me. (click on my name)

if you're looking for the House MD Australia themes, come to http://groups.msn.com/HouseMDAustraliaThemes
they'll be there

House is now on the USA network on Sunday nights. It is the replay of the first season, starting from the first episode. In the first episode, House reveals the cause of his crippled leg. I didn't catch what he called it, but it was a blockage of blood to the leg. I do remember, however, that he said that if it had occurred in the heart, it would be called a heart attack.
House is doing great in the ratings. Last week,it was the 8th most watched show for the week.
I can't get over some of the things that are done on the show, however -- such as the doctors doing the CAT scans themselves, searching patients' houses, having four diagnosticians working full-time on one case, etc.

Donniebob

Just to clarify in one post...

********
For the US
********

The opening credits theme is a combination of the beginning and very end of "Teardrop" by Massive Attack and was linked to here: http://www.kfcplainfield.com/sound/housemd.mp3

The Who's "Baba O'Riley" IS NOT the theme like ADAM said, however it appears in the episode "Control" before and after Vogler interrupts and has his initial conversation with House.

The underlying melody of Jakatta's "American Dream" (and other similar pieces?) often follow commercials.

The ending credits theme is the piece posted above at this link: http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3

Can anyone send me the housemd.mp3 from kfcplainfield.com? The link is not working on my computer.

thanks

¡Please! does anyone knows how to convert the mpeg file to mp3?
Because mpeg is the file format I get from http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3
Or could anyone send me a mp3 of house theme from www.nos.net.nz/ or similar?
Thanks a lot

...got to learn to use 1 post only for all my comments

Hey house is amazing.
If you need to check what songs are called and you can hear it for about 20 seconds... call 2580 (all the bottons down the middle of ur mobile phone) and place your mobile near speakers. It'll cost 50p ONLY if you get a text back saying the title and artist. If they dont know who it is then you dont get charged. im no affiliate but in the UK im always using this

Spike

According to Wikepedia, the house theme for UK/Aus is an origionally composed peice, so there is no full version!

i have a question but i live in the u.s. so maybe not evryone can help, i wanted to know if any one knew the song at the beggining of the house show? im not talking about the teardrops or american dream im talking about the classical song ive heard along time ago even before the show but it was in one of those therapeudic cd's and it was all classical music it is a great song so if any one can answer me please do thanx

Alex, do you mean the pilot episode of House?

no actually it has nothing to do with any episode its just a classical song that sounds like the teardrop song by massive attack but the song i want is a classical song it sounds different from the ones you guys mention i heard it about 4 years ago, a crazy fact is that everyone wants to know the nameof that song i know a rapper who sampled the song but as i was searching for it i would see other peoples posts searching for it to and they think its the house theme song too apparrently this song is very catchy and not just to me

sorry let me clarify it does have something to do with the show,but the classical song does sound like the teardrop song, but in the classical song there is a slight difference i do not know the name or the artist

Heh, this is ridiculous.

Listen carefully to the UK and US theme. The UK theme is in a higher key then the US theme, and has an extra instrument playing, it's essentially an edited version of the US theme, the closest you're going to come to a full version is Teardrop, also, the UK theme doesn't sound any less like Teardrop than the US one.

Much love. Heh, this is ridiculous.

That double post was mighty odd.

Ignore the repeated bit, darlings.

I don't know what kind of drugs some of you are on. Baba O'Reilly sounds nothing the theme from house. If you want to hear Baba O'Reilly played as a theme song, tune in to CSI: NY Wednesday night!

since american idol is on fox at 9:00 pm tuedays where is HOUSE??? My husband & I love the program but lately the only time we can catch it is 11:00 pm Fridays. Please, advise we're jone-in

Nos = God

Thankyou!

Got the theme i wanted in mp3 format, now i cna just play it on repeat on winamp. ah ill never get bored :-) wish there was a full version :-Nos = God

Thankyou!

oh well

In Estonia the theme song is Nickleback - If Everyone Cared. I dunno how you think, but by me, it fits better than Massive or Jakkata.

Rgs.

Right, this is getting pretty annoying, so may straighten it out.

Theme Music For house?

US/Aus: Teardrop by Massive Attack

UK: NOT TEARDROP

Series 1: http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3

Series 2: http://www.nos.net.nz/HouseSeason2Theme.mp3

Any other bits are irrelevant. The credits say that it was composed by a couple of randoms, so if you want the UK themes then you're just gonna have to wait for them to release the theme music. Otherwise download Teardrop by Massive Attack for the US. Trust me, none of those three are the same, I've seen Massive Attack live and know all their songs off by heart.

personally I may try my own composition based on those two clips, but otherwise, you'll just have to wait until the tune all of you want is released.

NOw thats sorted,

Back to House!

Is he and the lady Dr getting it on>?I'm from SA so I think I might be behind on some news.

Hey I live in AUS and I keep hearing the song that they have played heaps on the HOUSE promos, it's kind of a rock ballad or sumthing. I've heard it on the ABC promos too, I can only hear fragments of lyrics though "When all the world is falling, a sad voice is calling." -- "Doesn't really matter, when time is so fragile..." -- "Now that I'm waking, somebody's aching..." I don't even know if they are the words but that's what they sound like. Does anyone know what it's called.

firstly...they show House on channel ABC in Aust???

i thought they only showed it 8.30pm wed on Ch 10???

IF I CANT GET THAT THEME SONG SONG IMMA BLOW UP CHANNEL TEN

Definitely not Jakatta's American dream. It's basically Thomas Newman's Dead Already from American Beauty.

NOS, you're a bloody legend!

Well in Portugal the Series 1 http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3 is also the theme song for House... at least we have 30 seconds, lets whait that they release a full version of this song, so we can all enjoy it.

First look and post on this site.

Thanks NOS for posting up the House theme for Season 2 for the UK before I open any can of worms.

To answer a question of yours a while back...

"I've uploaded a NZ television promo for the upcoming season 2 of House. Is the music featured on it the same music used for the UK's theme of Season 2?

http://www.nos.net.nz/housepromo.html"

This track I used last year on a Fashion Promo for work so quite surprised to hear it, it's part of the KPM Music library and details are as follows.

KPM 548 - INDIE SESSIONS
Budda Grass Soul
Composed by: Scott Donaldson and Richard Nolan

I have this feeling I will one day bring up the full House theme in my travels when I do I will let this board know.

does anyone have the file for housemd.mp3 from kfcplainfield.com that they could email to me or provide a downloadable link to? I'd like to be able to download it to my computer. Thank you!

Thanks for the info, Jo. The promo department of the network that airs House over here in NZ must like that particular production disc, as they've used a number of tracks from it.

Does anyone know if there are two versions of "American Dream"? There seems to be two different versions used in television commercials over here (one with beats of some sort underneath for a coffee commercial, and one with just the piano music for another commercial).

Nos, the one with the beats is Jakatta's 'American dream'.

Which in turn samples Thomas Newmans 'Dead Already' from the film American Beauty (without the beats).

And just to end all tears and woe, the NZ theme mp3 link above IS Teardrop, its parts of the
'Homeless' mix from a MA re-release in 1997, Which was the UK theme, and now Season 2 it is Teardrop (instr) same as episodes on Fox US!!!! so as for a composed piece i dunno?!?

Talking of definate composed pieces.... In UK we all remember the samsung AD that had a definate composed piece that turned up remixed 4 months later in a Baileys AD then in charts another month later.

Be warned websites dont lie they just sway with the majority.

Massive Attack Rules...........

Thanks NOS for telling me how to get these tunes onto my computer. Now I just have to work out how I can use them as ringtones on my V3i (anybody there with experience?)
And am I imagining this or does it say at the end of each House episode Theme by Massive Attack? Where did all this confusion stem from???
If I was House I'd diagnose mass hysteria...
Thanks again!!

Just a clarification (I've not seen it cleared up elsewhere on here) --

Stacey was NOT House's wife. They were living together, possibly engaged, before she married the guy she was with in Season 2, but definitely NOT married....

Anyone besides me catch Hugh Laurie on Bravo's "Inside the Actor's Studio" (in North America)? It was AWESOME! His song, "Mystery," had me in hysterics! I just adore Hugh Laurie!

"'House' RULES!" (Pun absolutely intended....)

~ Namaste ~

So, a lot of thig said here, but none of them really useful.

So I will now give You the link to what seems to be full length UK House md starting theme song. Go ahead and all the further thanking is appreciated :D

Please do enjoy

House theme song!

The theme song to House is an excerpt from the song "Tear Drop" by Massive Attack on the Mezzanine CD.

The song played at the end of the season premiere of House was Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" performed by Jeff Buckley.

Right, I live in the UK and the house season one theme is Teardrop by massive attack without the vocals.

However season two is again teardrop, but it is not the massive attack version, it must be a remix done specifically for the show.

NOS, i was looking for the houseMD theme like mad..thanks to your site I was able to D/L it in mp3 format (exactly what I was looking 4!!- how did you get it to be downloaded??) and now I can hear it wherever and whenever I want!!In my pc or in my car,,,
GOD BLESS NEW ZELAND!!

Does anyone know if there is a musical soundtrack for all the songs that are played on House, MD, not just the theme song? If so where????

I have to say (as a house-obsessed-freak) that i most definitley take the cake for the biggest fan... dont mean to brag!

If you have any questions regarding anything to do with House I will answer it with no effort!

Hey House fans long time no post

AHHHHHH OMG OMG TO-OGGY YOU ARE A GOD/GODDESS PPL GO TO THIS LINK ITS REALLY SOFT BUT ITS THE AUSTRALIAN THEME FOR HOUSE!!!! AHH YOU SHOULD SEE THE GRIN ON MY FACE AS I LISTEN TO IT RIGHT NOW!

http://home.pacific.net.au/~ranger1/

To-oggy you are my best friend right now!!

peace out people and smile coz frowning uses more muscles!

ps. doesnt hugh laurie have the most awsum eyes?

I can safely say whenever I watch house (In the US, on Tivo, in California) that teardrop is the theme minus the vocals note for note. The links up there to various MP3 hour themes I have never heard before, but would agree, its some sort of unauthorized remix.

My guess is that in the US, the content for massive attack is licensed to whomever it needs to be licensed to - the distribution rights for massive attack in the US - and they play them here. Those other themes are really not very good.

Well, House fans (i'm a fan too), finally I finished my quest of: got House MD theme, and after finished my lecture I went to all the links you gave and, wonderful, I got all the principals themes of the show, I can sleep now, tomorrow I will try to find the other atractive songs of house md. Thanks for the help and the fun. By the way, you know that dubbing and subtitles is a huge conflict too? Many things and ideas change because that, and it's a little dificult to find these well made. Sooo, isn't only the music of HMD a cause of trouble. The understanding of the phrases, are a problem too. And not speak about the varied times of the subtitle formats, this is pure madness!

By the way, I'm cuban, and for the problems of the american blockade we barely watch few episodes, and not in order, so we must to steal it from the transmissions or "get'em" from our brothers of the inet, due to this we got them from diferent countries and we don't have any special or favorite main theme. All of them are good.

Bye, I'll read this later

PS:Cuba is Fidel C's country.

i have read the whole of the above and found the songs which you say are the uk theme tune for House MD none of them are right what is it? i need to havr this song!!!!!!!!!!!!11

to anyone who does not know how to save the audio files given, just try saving the page and you'll be able to have it on your computer =)

Hey just thought I'd say that the "full-length" track at http://home.pacific.net.au/~ranger1/ isn't a legtimate version, someone has spliced it together from the two alternative titles/US credits and the Teardrop song.

anybody here..can tell me where can i download the themesongs of the house show....specifically the "beautiful" by elvis costello....any responds will be deeply appreciated....i will wait for the links...thanks...

I've read through all the posts, and I still haven't found the right answer to my question! I'd like to know what the song is that plays during the ending (rolling) credits of House (USA)? Anyone who has the season dvd collection should know what I'm talking about. It starts out with a chill beat, then I believe a piano chimes in... Anyway, it's not Jakatta or Massive Attack, trust me, I looked!!! Anyone who could help would be a lifesaver b/c I can't get that song out of my head! haha Thanks! ;)

I have listened to all the major themes listed here. I don't know if it has been cleared up yet but here's how the themes are in the US.
http://www.kfcplainfield.com/sound/housemd.mp3--- Opening title in US
http://www.nos.net.nz/housetheme.mp3---An edit of above title, I am no music genius, but it is the "Left hand" piano part. Take out the guitar and right hand piano part from above title and you've got this one
http://www.nos.net.nz/HouseSeason2Theme.mp3---ending credits title. Seems to my ear to be written in the same key, cousin to title # 2

Just trying to help.

Thanks

Alright...got it to play, and so yes, that is the ending credits theme. I wonder...is that a song, or just a clip put together specifically for that 30 seconds of credits? If it is a song, can anyone tell me the artist and title?

The end credits theme for House in New Zealand appears to be composed by Jon Ehrlich and Jason Derlatka. It is presumably composed specifically for the show, although the fact that there is another clip with a slightly different arrangement which pops up sometimes could mean that they are all part of a longer piece.
We'd really love to know where that longer piece is . . .

Does anyone have the names of the all the piano solos? They're not on any of the soundtracks I've listened too, and the piano themes are my favorite part! Thanks.

I watched today's episode: today being: 2 13 07. I would love to know what the song was, played at the ending of the show. With the words: HIT THE GROUND... that's all I could make out. If anyone out there know's please e mail me.
Thanks so much

guys, that jakkata song is what is played in the credits and in the background at certain scenes.
andddd from wikipedia...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_(TV_series)

Theme music
The opening theme is "Teardrop" by Massive Attack. "Teardrop" itself does have lyrics, sung by guest vocalist Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins; however, the version used in the opening credits uses only the beginning and ending sections, which are solely instrumental. Due to rights and licensing issues this music is not used for the show in South Africa, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland (German version), Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Czech Republic, Denmark, Australia, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Hungary, Latin America, Greece, Hong Kong, and Turkey. In those countries, a piece of music named "House"(ending theme), composed by Scott Donaldson and Richard Nolan, is used, which was written specifically for the show. With the second season, this was replaced with a similar, but modified, track. The parodic British television show Dead Ringers, which sometimes spoofs House, uses "Teardrop" for the spoof's opening theme. "Teardrop" is also used in the Season 2 Region 2 and Region 4 release, replacing the "House" theme at the beginning of the episode.

The Teardrop song is the best though, unfortunately i can't find an instrumental version of it anywhere and i know there is one because they played the whole song instrumental on Prison Break Season 1 Episode 20

If anyone has this version please post up a link.

take it easy House fans,

Laterzzz

btw, on another note, I'm from Melbourne, Australia and the time here right now is 12:30am 15th February... we're almost a whole day in front..... just had to mention the time difference. sorry guys lol

House is the sexyist show ever- the plot- the acting- the sexual tension- the script-

i love it more than i can say-
i am rather addicted infact- and depressed that the 3rd season wont be coming out on DVD for a while- i have only seen through the end of season 2-

The 3rd Season gets released on DVD in August. Not too long to wait.

Frustrated? Want to get the mp3 of the House theme? Just copy and paste the link/webaddress aka url, in "open url" in windows media player. Select "save as" and pick a folder to save it to and enjoy. I hope this saves somebody frustration.

Thx

damn! House MD 2x13 [Skin Deep], does anyone know the ending song? =S thank ya

Huh. So there are three completely different theme songs for House. My favourite is the one on the opening credits of the New Zealand season 1 DVD, and I've been looking for a way to get a good quality version for AGES! So thanks for that.

I've encountered all of these themes in NZ, but I can't remember which was where except that one on the season 1 DVD (www.nos.net.nz.housetheme.mp3). I think they played the Teardrop version on TV for season 3 here. That means the remaining one must be on the DVD (NZ) for season 2 (and maybe also 3).

Anyway, they're all pretty good, and the main thing is that we can get the mp3 for each of them right here, which is great! So cheers.

http://www.have-dog.com/house/ tells you the songs played during the House episodes

Okay, so. Both the season 1 ending theme, and the season 2 ending theme are the same file format. But the season 2 ending theme saves on my itunes just fine, where as the other one, is, well. broken. I cannot play it. This bothers me, seeing as how I prefer the season 1 theme.

Please help me fix this. :D

House totally totally kicks ass... I'd like him to be my doc. Or hubby whatever ;)
I always thought that 'Dead Already' is the theme song... But I'm from Croatia, so maybe our version has it that way.

Interesting that some of the predictions made in the beginning of this post are beginning to be realized. We have learned that House is a medication "junkie"This effectively nullifies his brilliance in a sense as we "see" that he is a "pathetic", lonely, medicated individual. Thus we can look at his sarcastic wit as a mere by product of his weakness. It wouldn't be politically correct if he didn't have some defect in his personality. The viewing public can now look down at him and feel sorry him while dismissing the intelligence of the character as actually flawed. Interesting how society has to make sure everyone has a fault. Especially those we might otherwise admire. If the character doesn't change his ways and become more "compassionate" and politically correct we can rest assured he will meet some fate that will be justified through his flaw. The shame of it is we aren't allowed to look at he character as a briliant man who finds most people ridiculously simple but rather as a character who hasn't developed himself enough to recognize the great qualities in those around him beyond a selfish use. It will be interesting to see where the show leads us. Hugh Laurie is brilliant as House and the supporting cast are all great as well. It won't work if he must become a whining milksop though. Pray the show ends before that ever happens.

Hell I'll Be D**med! Shows what a LOT of searching will get you. I found a 3.33 minute instrumental version of the U.S. Opening theme song to House M.D. If anyone doubts me, im uploading it to my project playlist on my myspace, which will be at the bottom of my post. Now, if anyone would like a copy of the song, email me or message me on myspace, I will give you the link. I was damned and determined to find a version that wasnt just 30 seconds, and low and behold, I did. NOW, I will warn you, the song IN FACT IS Teardrop by Massive attack, but its an instrumental remix of the begining and ending of the song. Most of you know that by now, but putting it in here for those who dont. The version I found is an remixed version that mixes the non vocal audio, its great quality, and sounds PHENOMINAL!!! Message me asap for the link of file. And if you just want to listen to it, check out my playlist on the myspace. Take care, fellow Gregory House fanatics!
