Question
I have a question about three songs I heard in the opening credits.
1Trials and Tribulations
2Im Married
3The Phantom Menace
I would love to have these songs on cd hope you can help me.

Answer
Hello David,

I checked each episode and here's what I came up with:

1. Trials and Tribulations opened with Semisonic's "DND" from their album 'Feeling Strangely Fine'.

2. I'm Married opened with Third Eye Blind's "Jumper" from their self-titled album.

3. The Phantom Menace opener is the only one I'm not so sure of. I think it is Thin Lizard Dawn's "Get It" from their album 'Go'. However, I was not able to find complete lyrics or an audio sample that confirmed it for definite. I was only able to find a match that stated the line "it doesn't matter how you get it, just as long as you get it" is used in that song in an article on the group and their album and those lyrics are what I caught from watching the opening of that 90210 episode. When I was looking for an audio sample I found out that the album is out-of-print now so it may be hard to find. However, towerrecords.com had it as a special order, so they may be an option for you. Another option is finding a place to download it over the Internet. Good luck in whatever option you choose :)

You should have no problem finding the albums by Semisonic and Third Eye Blind though.

Thanks for your question,
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.
