Amazon.com 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

Scrubs Soundtrack CompilationMay 20, 2008 Russell P. Taddeo Really good tracks from the poignant and funny (often at the same time) Scrubs TV series.
A great mellow compilationDecember 28, 2007 E. Ann(Detroit, MI USA) I love to listen to this cd at work. No NSFW songs here! I would even recommend to those who aren't fans of the show. Great adult alternative.
GREAT COMPILATIONDecember 12, 2007 D. Maher I love this CD- especially the EELS "Fresh Feeling". I don't think there is a bad song on the entire CD- that is rare. If you like the music in Scrubs or if you liked the Garden State soundtrack (another one of my favorites) then get this CD - it is a very cool collection of songs.
