What’s That Song Again?
Some of you have been wondering what the music played at the end of “Games” was. I have to admit - I contacted Fox and didn’t hear back! Fortunately Jason, an amazing Watching House reader, did some digging and discovered who was playing the “folky” type music that was played at the end of the show when House was eliminating the fellows. Are you ready for this?
It’s a “guitar composition” by Hugh Laurie!! And the crappy, really loud piano music that is played earlier in the show is by Hugh too!
We all know that Hugh is talented, but this is the first time that I’ve been able to see that they’ve had Hugh play something they didn’t attribute to him. All of the other times we’ve been able to see him playing the piano or guitar, but this time they played the music w/o saying who did it! Interesting…
Meanwhile, here’s a little composition that someone put online that is an example of Hugh’s tremendous musical ability. Check it out!
And if you were wondering what the OTHER song that was played at the end of the episode was, it was Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum! Love that song!

Cool! I knew he wrote music, but I never would have guessed those were his songs.
Of course, the only original songs of his that I’ve heard have been on “A Bit of Fry & Laurie”.

Ha ha, thats really cool! Also, a bit off topic, but I just finished watching Stuart Little 2…. very strange to see Hugh being nice!

I remember him playing this song in the episode ‘Half-wit’.
