Question
Hi Crystal, I am an obsessed 90210 fan from England. Wonder if you could help me identify a couple of songs please?

The first one is in episode #4 in season 1. It's the song that's playing while Brandon is waiting for his girlfriend Cheryl to go to his room - it sounds a bit like Erasure.

The second one is from season 2 - the episode where Dylan is recuperating from his surfing accident at the Walsh house. It's in the scene where Brenda & Dylan meet in the night both wanting to use the bathroom. The lyrics go "and I don't get much sleep anymore".

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Stuart.

Answer
Hello Stuart,

It's great to hear from the fans on the other side of the ocean :)

I was able to identify the first song through checking my tape, searching lyrics, and through a very helpful review on Amazon.com. The song is indeed by Erasure and is titled "Dreamlike State". It appears to be fairly hard to get, but it looks like you may have better luck in the UK than I would in the US. It's the B-side to the single for "Star" and appears on their box sets titled something like EBX-3 and EBX-4. Good luck in your search.

The second song is called "I don't get much sleep anymore" and is by Chris Luke. It is not commercially available.

Let me know if you need any help with anything else. 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.
