Awesome Music / Yellowjackets

Go To

  • Anna Waronker and Craig Wedren wrote "No Return", the theme song specifically for the show, but it fits in with grunge music from The '90s, complete with Word Salad Lyrics.
    Oh so cute, so revival, so alone
    Birthday suit, just a smile, no one home
  • For the scene in the second episode and great Soundtrack Dissonance, Wilson Phillips's cheerful "Hold On" plays as Misty destroys the emergency transmitter.
  • The Offspring's "Come Out and Play (Keep 'Em Separated)", which came out the year of the plane crash, accompanying the core four's Team Power Walk into their class reunion. The song about juvenile delinquents includes lyrics like "Your never-ending spree of death and violence and hate/Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own...", befitting the group's actions during the present.
  • A promo for Season 2 featured Florence + the Machine and a wardrobe rack full of frilly dresses where she picks out a Yellowjackets varsity jacket. Her cover of No Doubt's "I'm Just a Girl" is featured in the full-length trailer.
  • At the end of the premier episode of season 2, Tori Amos's "Cornflake Girl" plays as the audience witnesses the first act of cannibalism, courtesy of Shauna eating the long dead Jackie's ear.
    She's gone to the other side
    Giving us a yo-heave-ho
    Things are getting kind of gross...
  • Radiohead's "Climbing Up the Walls" is stunningly used as the group finally give into cannibalism at the end of "Edible Complex".
    I am the key to the lock in your house
    That keeps your toys in the basement
    And if you get too far inside
    You'll only see my reflection
    It's always best with the covers up
    I am the pick in the ice
    Do not cry out or hit the alarm
    You know we're friends 'til we die
  • Live's "Lightning Crashes" appears. The original video juxtaposes scenes of a woman dying and another giving birth. In the episode, it plays while a scene where the surviving Yellowjackets dance and drink around a fire in the present intercuts with the scene where teen!Lottie encourages Shauna to take out her fury out on her and submits to a beatdown.
  • Echo & the Bunnymen's "The Killing Moon" plays twice in the finale - first as a cover version as Natalie is chosen as the new leader, and later the original as the cabin burns to the ground.
    Fate
    Up against your will
    Through the thick and thin
    He will wait until
    You give yourself to him
