Here is a cover of the Mad Men theme song (actually called A Beautiful Mine) by a guy named Adam Ben Ezra (real song by RJD2). It’s pretty good! It’s easy to not notice that the Mad Men theme song is a good song because usually when it comes on, you’re just like, “LET’S GO!!! Show me some people ruining their own lives already!!” But if you just listen to it, it’s kind of nice. Resist the urge to tense up. Relax. Nobody is getting pregnant with their boss’s baby while their husband probably dies in Vietnam. That’s not going on right now. It’s just a song. And it is performed using only a bass.
“Oh my god, there’s going to be a disasterous marriage mistake!” Ugh, calm down. Separate the song from the show.
Thanks, The Daily What.
