->'''[[HairTriggerTemper Trevor Philips]]:''' (Gets into his truck to go pay the O'Neill Brothers a "[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge visit]]" as he turns on the radio, only to hear [[Music/TheDoobieBrothers What A Fool Believes]] playing. ''Uuuuuugh'', this music's all Fucking wrong! (Changes channel to a more aggressive heavy rock song) That's what I'm lookin' for!

->I suppose if [[Creator/QuentinTarantino Tarantino]] did it, people would laud the ironic juxtaposition, but this is Creator/ColemanFrancis. Anything that appears to be a glimmer of brilliance [[HanlonsRazor is always pure happenstance.]]

->Something that's just registered in my mind - the entirely inappropriate music. Right, I'm not gonna play this properly; I'm just gonna have a go at the music, I think. Let's have a... is this what I think it is? [sings ([[BeamMeUpScotty incorrect]]) lyrics to "[[Music/FrankieValliAndTheFourSeasons Can't Take My Eyes Off You]]"] It is! Why is that featuring in the background for an action game? What's it got to do with ''VideoGame/CounterStrike''? You can put any music you want in, lads. You don't worry about things like licensing, do ya?

->''"Judging by the music of this theme song, it seems this show's a slice-of-life schoolgirl romance. And according to the animation, that's the furthest thing from it."''

->Should peppy music really accompany your film's darkest, most disturbing scene?

->Casting off the traditional, ship-flyby open used by all previous ''Star Trek'' incarnations, ''[[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Enterprise]]'' created a visual history lesson which rocketed through the history of human exploration. Then it ruined that otherwise exciting visual feast by setting it to an awkward song about faith sung by a Rod Stewart knockoff, presumably because nothing says exploration and adventure like elevator rock. Later when they realized everyone hated it, they tried to fix it by speeding up the tempo. Like setting a Music/MichaelBolton song to a Bossanova beat cranked out of a Casio, this made something bad even worse.

->Don't expect to hear the familiar dark, mischievous Music/DannyElfman theme, no. In the tradition of all [[Creator/LJNToys LJN]] games, they give you something original!\\\
''(jaunty theme tune plays)''\\\
...What kinda horseshit is this. This doesn't set the tone at all.\\\
It'd be fine for other games. This is something you should hear if you're [[VideoGame/MilonsSecretCastle jumping around blowing bubbles in magic fairytale land]]--not a dark, Tim Burton nightmare world. It'd be like listening to, I dunno, the soundtrack to ''Disney/MaryPoppins'' while watching ''Film/RequiemForADream''.

'''David''': I’m pretty sure I would have committed suicide ten years ago if I had to have my life scored by whoever chooses the songs for ''Smallville.''
-->--Chris Sims and David Uzumeri, [[http://comicsalliance.com/recap-smallville-4-6-transference/ on]] ''{{Series/Smallville}}'' ("Transference")

->Basically the score sounds like an eighties disco, throughout which we are watching kids being hunted, old women going mad with carving knives, men being possessed -- It's extremely disconcerting (and not in a good way) to watch potentially horrific acts underscored by an eighties disco beat. What’s worse, the more you listen to it, [[EarWorm it becomes eminently hummable.]]

->''"I've never seen a song so poorly matched up. You got monsters with weapons for hands, a young woman fleeing with fear, chasing into a creepy forest and a chicken who's a fucking AX! Are those really the images that come to your mind when you hear this song? If so, then you're fucked!"''
-->-- '''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic''' on the use of "[[AwardBaitSong The Prayer]]" in ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot''

-> "Oh, dang, listen to that...Look, it's all well and good to have moody music, but for Pete's sake, man- you gotta know when- where- to put it! And you don't put it when I'm just having a conversation with the nerdy kid!"
