Question
Hey Crystal,
I have been enjoying my Season 1 BH90210 DVD's, but noticed that some of the music has been changed from the original episodes. I specifically noticed on the last episode..."Celebrate" (Kenny Loggins?) was the song playing as it ends and fades out in the original, but it definitely was not in the DVD version. If it is a copyright issue, will this will affect upcoming seasons with the songs and artists who appeared on the show? I am sure I am not the only one disappointed by this, as the music was such a big part of the show.
Thanks...you are always very helpful!
Hello Fran,
My understanding is that music was changed due to clearance rights. The studio said either they would be too hard or too expensive to obtain the rights to every song used. Instead of delaying the DVD sets longer to clear each one, and/or charging more per set to cover the cost, the studio made the decision to substitute the affected songs. I do not know if the same thing will happen with future season set releases. I'm sure we'll find out when each set gets released. However, if the music does get changed, I'm sure they will mark the package like they did for Season One to notify us of the change.
Take care,
Crystal

Expertise
I have seen all 10 seasons of 90210 and have every episode on tape to locate answers. My expertise is on the first 6 seasons and the characters Brenda and Dylan, but I will attempt to answer any question pertaining to the show. Please no scene/dialogue questions because they are very time-consuming and frustrating. However, I will be happy to clarify misunderstood dialogue due to whispering and such if I'm able to. I will attempt to answer any song question for the original airdates and syndication. NO DVD SONG QUESTIONS PLEASE. Please see my "Life Experience" in my profile for song question updates, it may pertain to your question.
Experience
I have every single episode on tape to find the answers. I watched and taped the show religiously. (All requests for copies of my videotapes/episodes will be declined.)
Update: The song used in "Crunch Time" during David's meth addiction is "Living In A Fantasy" by The Rainbow Band. Many thanks to the fellow 90210 Fan that contacted me with the info when they tracked it down.
Also, the song used in "One Wedding and a Funeral" that Dylan & Toni dance to is "Nobody Knows Me" by Lyle Lovett. Same song is used during the scene where Dylan is crying while holding the wedding dress and then kitten. David & Donna's wedding song is "Spend My Life With You" by Eric Benet & Tamia. Same song was Steve & Janet's wedding song.
