SPOILER ALERT: Scrubs is over, dudes.

I like to think of The Show as a place where friends can come together and share important things from their lives. For example, when Dave posted a few days ago, he was trying to tell me, “yes, Edward, I am alive and well, despite the fact that we haven’t heard from one another in two weeks. Also, you’re an asshole for never contacting me.” I know, that completely went unnoticed by our general readership, but you’ve got to learn to read between the lines, guys. I’ll teach you. Later. For now, it’s time to come together to mourn the passing of a great friend and partner in crime: the late, great Scrubs.

I’ve never read the Torah or anything, but I have a Jewish friend who once told me that Jewish funerals serve to commemorate the life of the deceased, rather than mourn their passing. I like that, and figure I’ll do the same by taking you through some of my favorite musical moments of the show. Scrubs gave me more, musically, than it ought to have. At ages 13 through 16, I used to crawl the internet to figure out what the songs were that had appeared on the last episode I’d seen, and then Limewire those tracks. Yes, I have the entire “Blanks” album (Ted the Lawyer’s band, for the uninitiated). And yes, I had an “Air Band” with several friends in high school. It was a lot cooler than it sounds when you’re blogging about it, I promise. The point is that I got more really good and memorable music out of Scrubs than could possibly be contained in just one post. Maybe I’ll take the time later when I’m so inclined (or if anyone tells me they want more) to draw attention to some other really good Scrubs-featured music. But, for now, I want to focus on some of my favorite dancing moments, which gave me reason to hunt down and love some truly classic songs, including Bell Biv Devoe’s immortal “Poison.” Watch, laugh, remember, listen:

IF ANYONE CAN LOCATE A YOUTUBE OF THE MOMENT WHERE TURK SINGS ROB BASE & DJ E-Z ROCK’S “JOY AND PAIN” IN THE O.R. IN SEASON 1 EPISODE 23 TITLED “MY HERO” AND SEND ME A LINK TO IT I WILL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. SO WILL THE INTERNET, PROBABLY.

This post’s album is called Ocarina of Rhyme, which means that some of you are ready to knock down your own grandma to get to it! I know I am!

If you know how to get the Goron sword and what song to play in the middle of a circle of rocks (especially if you know the button sequence), then prepare to crap your pants with giddy joy like it’s 1999. This is rap and Ocarina of Time tunes together, one of those mashup concept albums that is just SUCH a good idea. As a bonus, this doesn’t sound like it was thrown together in that half an hour between the final bell and when your mom picks you up. It’s great to be able to say that: the internet nowadays has almost as many talentless mashup “artists” as the entire Zelda canon has Stalfos. You’d think this album would be kitschy as Bombchu Bowling, and you might be right, but a couple of the tracks just have a certain quality of flow that makes the album more than a one-and-done investment, so permit me to be your Lens of Truth in this treasure chest game/album.  MF Doom and Slim Thug with Mike Jones in particular sound like they were made for Horse Race at Lon Lon Ranch and Great Fairy’s Fountain. I already made a ringtone out of “Knockin’ Doorz Down (Hyrule Field).” “I Used to Love H.E.R (Hyrule Market)” is slick too, but watch out for “Still D.R.E (Getting Treasure),” as that will grate on the nerves of all but the most tone deaf. So you know, Team Teamwork is the outfit with their name on this, but I can’t seem to find anything about them, which makes me like them more.

It really is amazing what can be done with well designed instrumentals, a drum kit or two, and some tested lyrics. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time got a lot of attention for its score, and building on top of that puts you in a high place to start. This sort of project wouldn’t have happened back in the late 90’s when the game was released, but the world is ready now for just this sort of project. I for one am hoping for many more projects like this one.
