I don't watch 'The Walking Dead", but I know it's a fairly bleak look at an apocalyptic world. So imagine my surprise the other night, when I heard the bouncy tones of The Bee Gees 1966 song "Spicks and Specks" playing while my son and his friends watched one episode. Apparently the song was used during a rather critical scene in the show, while one character walked alone. Do you enjoy when TV shows or movies use music that is essentially completely out of context?
Yes I love it--it surprises us and keeps things interesting

No, keep the music in context -- a show about the 60's should play 60's music

The 2013 movie 'The Great Gatsby' featured a soundtrack that blended traditional jazz with modern-day hip-hop, sometimes in the middle of a song, and critics and movie-goers either loved it or hated it. If you saw the movie, what did you think about the use of music?
Loved it--downloaded or bought all of it
