'Teardrop' is amongst the awesome tracks by Massive Attack on Mezzanine with 'Angel' and 'Inertia Creeps'. It is more well known than most people would recognize as an instrumental portion is the theme music on the television show HOUSE.
DISCLAIMER Also, the video can be somewhat disturbing... just page down, and listen instead if you don't like it, as this post is about the song, not the video.
the original 'Teardrop' by Massive Attack(sorry for the commercial)
During episode 16(the finale) of Season 4 of HOUSE, a cover version of 'Teardrop' by José González, was featured. It was extremely haunting to me. Although I had been, in a matter of months, watching four seasons of House and hearing the original, albeit instrumental, track each time, when the vocals came on through a different voice, I was stumped. What was this song, and why was it so familiar? I even knew the words to it, but I had no idea what this was. Finally I knew it and was immediately offended. Had I failed to acknowledge that the song and the HOUSE theme was actually a cover? I was relieved to find out that this new variation of 'Teardrop' was the cover instead.
