6Any series with a purchasable soundtrack should have an SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic sub-page. David Schwartz's score for the show is almost as riddled with running jokes and clever allusions as the show itself.
7----
8* David's daughter Lucy Schwartz's song [[http://arresteddevelopment.wikia.com/wiki/Boomerang "Boomerang"]] was great and catchy enough that after hearing it, Mitch Hurwitz actually re-edited the final minutes of the season 4 finale (even bumping TheTag to after the credits) just to include it in the show.
9%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LvNpY63mxg Oh my, oh my!]]
10* Many of the background songs have a distinct jazzy yet classy feel to them, inlcuding but not limited to "She's Cute", "The Chipper", "Face Blindness", "She winked", and "The Cute Test".
11* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c7xZCOPBrU "What could be better.../Let's stay here forever..."]] It's a short one, but it plays off the show's more heartwarming moments effectively with its upbeat chorus.
12* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYrwTVsckmI "Hello darkness my old friend..."]], which was a good song in its own right before the show turned it into a colossal meme.
13* G.O.B.'s magician theme: "It's the final countdown!" In the same vein as "Sound of Silence," this song was also turned into a recurring joke for the show while retaining its awesomeness.
14%%* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZTLazjXalc You Here With Me]]" plays during some of the show's most romantic moments.
15%%* Big Yellow Joint, ESPECIALLY the up-tempo version.
16%%* "Police Cruise," the jazz/Latin tune that plays over the show's closing credits.
17* "[[https://youtu.be/x4kcVmEjlyA Andele]]", the rowdy Latin song that plays whenever GOB and Michael get into a fight, is the perfect complement to their high-energy / low-competence attempts at fisticuffs.
