“Superhero” by Jane’s Addiction
An obvious choice, sure, but another, much better HBO show (“The Wire”) played its theme over the final scene, and god knows Doug Ellin probably thinks his show is on the same level as David Simon’s masterpiece. It would also be kind of funny seeing “Entourage” fans sob singing to, “YOU KNOW I NEED YOU DESPERATELY.”
“Thank You Friends” by Big Star
Please, no. So many things in life already suck, and I don’t want Big Star to become synonymous with “Entourage.” Other friendly choice that I’m imploring the show not to use: “All My Friends” by LCD Soundsystem and “We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful” by Morrissey (how ironic!).
“Redemption Song” by Bob Marley
Even though we have eight seasons of evidence to the contrary, the final season of “Entourage” is meant to be about redemption, about the boys finally acting like men (“Thank You” by Boyz II Men would be a good final song, too) and taking some responsibility for their actions. “Redemption Song” was written by Bob Marley in 1979, when the reggae great knew he was likely to succumb to cancer (which he did two years later), with lines lifted from a speech given by Marcus Garvey, founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. I think Turtle had sex with a black woman once, so perfect fit.
“America, We Stand as One” by Daniel Madelone
I did a Google search for “douchiest song,” and this was the top choice. The rights would probably come cheap.
“Renegade” by Jay-Z
Scott Vener is the music supervisor for “Entourage,” and on his Twitter, he recently wrote, “i actually cant wait for u guys 2 c the final song ever sunday…it has to be my favorite use of all time.” Then, “ive wanted to end with this song since season 6,” followed by, “the song is so good its almost cheating haha.” So that means whatever he chose had to come before October 2009, therefore excluding, say, anything from Watch the Throne (wouldn’t have been surprised to have heard “Otis”). But I’m still guessing it’s something from Jay-Z, because Vener LOVES Jay-Z (“Lucifer” played over the end credits of the show’s first episode), and don’t forget that The Blueprint come out on September 11, 2001 (same day as the Glitter soundtrack!). So, let’s go with “Renegade,” with Eminem, because that’s exactly the word I’d use to describe Turtle.
Your turn.



“My Way”….the Limp Bizkit version, not the Sinatra version. Its more fitting that way.
If it’s Mambo #5, I take back every bad thing I’ve ever said.
I’m guessing INXS because Vince will die of autoerotic asphyxiation
‘Everything’s coming up Roses’ – Ethel Merman
“It’ll all work out” – Tom Petty
“Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinkin’ Rich” – Warrant
“Entourage is still popular, the terrorist won” – the poonTASTIC gap band
“Whoops, I OD’d” by NoFX
(Fingers crossed!)
The classic “I Touch Myself” – Divinyls
“I Gotta Feeling” – The Black Eyed Peas
Asshole – Denis Leary
Pat Benatar – “We Belong”
“Eating is Fun, Eating is Serious” by Chris Burke. It’s a real song.

“Closing Time” by Semisonic. A terrible song by a terrible band for a terrible show.
@Josh, I’d be pretty pissed to if they used a Morrissey song.
Because I Got High – Afroman
they all wake up in Turtle’s mom’s house after a night of smoking weed and seriously dorito munchidom. The whole show was a dream…Joe Pesci’s you think I’m funny scene is on the tv, thusly spawning the dream that was Ari.
If it’s not a nickelback song I’ll suck ten thousand dicks.
Can Danger live blog the finale?
“Party All the Time” – Eddie Murphy
I much prefer the current (and real) Sofia involved with Vanity Fair.
@el nene: That … That is the correct answer.
Karma Police by Radiohead.
“I’m Too Sexy” – Right Said Fred.
Alice Eve is on “Entourage”? Damn, now I’ve lost respect for her.
“The Funeral” by Band of Horses.
The perfect song to represent white people staring into the sky with wonder about the future.
Vince kills all his friends in a horrible drunk driving accident, Vince Neil-style, and then Motley Crue’s “Dr. Feelgood” starts blasting as he sits crying on the curb and the camera pans away to the LA skyline.
Every Day is Exactly The Same – NIN
*looks at banner pic*
Fool On The Hill – The Beatles
Bros. BROS! (the Bros Anthem)- DG
“Too Many Dicks” – Flight of the Conchords
Obvious pick: Green Day “Good riddance: Time of Your Life”
Surprise choice: [www.youtube.com]
Just to gay it up a bit: Playin W/ The Boys by Kenny Loggins:
[www.youtube.com]
Ya know it’s funny. We’re all here guessing douchey songs to close out the douchiest show ever. Yet if they used a song that I genuinely love, I’d be more offended. I’d rather they use a song I could care less about.
Girl, You Know It’s True

“Hocus Pocus” by Focus!
It didn’t happen to be the theme song to “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”, did it??
It was “Going to Calfornia” by Led Zeppelin, which of course pins the blame on everyone (women) and everything (alcohol and drugs) but the singer, a.k.a. the Entourage.
@Josh–sums up the series pretty well that “Going to California” plays while two private jets fly *away* from California. Hit the Road, Jack would have been nice.
Steve was right. They used a song I love and I am OUTRAGED! GAH!
@latetotheparty Seriously, I noticed that as well. Flying AWAY from California? That’s like the cinematic equivalent to an “ironic smirk.”
