8	* The opening song to ''Series/{{Chuck}}'', Cake's "Short Skirt/Long Jacket", a song that only gets more epic once you've heard the whole thing.
9	%%* The music that's used when they first [[spoiler:discover Bryce is alive]].
10	* In "Chuck vs. Tom Sawyer," Music/{{Rush\|Band}}'s "Tom Sawyer" is revealed to be the underlying code in ''VideoGame/MissileCommand'' [[spoiler:which allows Chuck to reach a missile code and prevent World War III.]] The song plays over a sequence of Sarah beating up a {{mook}}, Casey preparing to deploy the Air Force, and [[spoiler: Chuck winning the game]], creating an epic, uniquely nerdy climax.
11	* Twisted Sister's "We're not gonna take it anymore" when the employees rampage through the Buy More and Team Chuck is invading Fulcrum in "Chuck vs The First Kill." Doesn't get more awesome than that.
12	* Halfway through the season 2 finale, "Chuck vs. The Ring", a firefight of epic proportions between Team Chuck and [[spoiler:Evil!Chevy Chase]] is only make more awesome by the musical accompanyment, a live performance of "Mr. Roboto" by Jeffster. [[https://youtu.be/4fgmcqvwLH4 Just... yeah. Just watch.]]
13	* The use of Crooked Fingers' "Luisa's Bones" in "Chuck vs. the Dream Job" perfectly underscores the scene's mix of mystery, intensity, and sheer badassery as Chuck figures out Roarke's plans and resolves to go after him on his own.
14	* In "Chuck vs. the Suburbs," Chuck's introduction to the fake "American dream" life the CIA has created for his and Sarah's latest cover is accompanied by Talking Heads' "Once In A Lifetime." The music fades out shortly after "And you may say to yourself/'This is not my beautiful house/This is not my beautiful wife!'"
15	* Any time Frightened Rabbit is used (which is a few times, Josh Schwartz is clearly a fan), particularly "Backwards Walk" when Chuck leaves Sarah in Prague in the season 3 opener, and probably the best example (in early-ish season 2): "Keep Yourself Warm", when Chuck is with Jill as Casey and Sarah find out who she really is. Truly awesome music used absolutely perfectly.
16	* Any song performed by Jeffster has to count as this as well as a Funny Moment.
17	** Their cover of [[https://youtu.be/nViWOd87oKY Africa]].
18	** [[https://youtu.be/4fgmcqvwLH4 Mr. Roboto. Just Mr. Roboto.]]
19	---> '''Jeff:''' 4/4 time in D, and [[Film/BackToTheFuture1 watch me for the changes.]]
20	** In "Chuck Versus the Beard", we get [[https://youtu.be/tglfGycQfZo Fortunate Son]]. Some spoilers!
21	---> So that's the sound of liberty.
22	** In "Chuck Versus the Honeymooners", we get [[https://youtu.be/eIEP9pxliUE Leaving on a Jet Plane.]]
23	** Jeffster! + Bon Jovi + Two whole weekends working on a music video = [[https://youtu.be/lErkYdnr_50 Blaze of Glory.]]
24	** In an attempt to woo a girl in "Chuck Versus the Balcony", they perform Whitesnake's [[https://youtu.be/HNwL-tM0ajk Is This Love?]] (Again, spoilers.)
25	** "Chuck Versus the Push Mix". Maternity Ward. Salt 'n' Pepa's [[https://youtu.be/5WGf_Sxrb3Y Push It]]. (And again, spoilers.)
26	** And their final performance, A-Ha's [[http://youtu.be/quNdlFN3QlE Take On Me]]. Complete with Morgan conducting the accompanying ''orchestra'' (One final time, spoilers.)
27	* Jeffster! is also building a reputation for performances at Comic-Con:
28	** 2009: [[https://youtu.be/Qp9YA327N4k Fat-Bottomed Girls]].
29	** 2010: [[https://youtu.be/P3vTrOTfGyE Bad Romance]]. (Well, they didn't perform that)
30	** 2011: [[http://youtu.be/ZGzHLlaOLT0 Eye of the Tiger]].
31	* The song that seems to be the theme for the Ring in season three. It's simply called [[https://youtu.be/llU8vXOyE3o The Dark Side]].
32	* Chuck and Sarah's theme, apparently called [[https://youtu.be/Q2YkY6L_E1s "A Question and an Answer"]] is absolutely lovely.
33	* From "Chuck Verses the Honeymooners", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRYdVH4zVFo Chuck and Sarah cuddling together]] to Music/NinaSimone's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHRNrgDIJfo "Feeling Good"]].
34	-->'''Chuck''': This is gonna be your new favorite song.
35	* [[https://youtu.be/Lrdv83-Ac_8 The last three minutes of "Chuck Versus the Push Mix"]], in which [[spoiler:Ellie gives birth to her baby, Alex and Casey reassure each other that they are both in each other's lives to stay, and Chuck, having defeated Volkoff and put his family back together, finally proposes to Sarah]], is such a joyful scene for every single one of them, and that sense of jubilation is perfectly underscored by the use of "Young Blood" by The Naked and Famous.
36	* The team race to track down the poisoner who has the antidote to the truth serum which is slowly killing them to the tune of Britney Spears's "Toxic" in "Chuck Versus The Truth".
37	%%* The Touch for the montage in "Chuck Versus Tom Sawyer".
38	%%* Using "The Final Countdown" for the footlong eating contest in "Chuck Versus the Third Dimension".
39	%%* "Black and Blue" by the Maids of Honor during the smackdown in "Chuck Versus the Tic Tac".
40	%%* Nina Simone's cover of "Feeling Good" to close out "Chuck Versus the Honeymooners".
41	%%* "Woman" by Wolfmother for the muay thai smackdown and Sarah's commando assault in "Chuck Versus Phase Three".
42	%%* "Young Blood" for the final montage of "Chuck Versus the Push Mix".
43	%%* "The Imperial March" in "Chuck Versus the Last Details".
44	%%* "One October Song" by Nico Stai is used beautifully in 'Chuck Versus the Subway'.
45	* The remix of [[https://youtu.be/L2VGCUFp5vU In the Hall of the Mountain King]] used in "Chuck Versus the Leftovers".
