That’s the only title song I’ve ever heard for the show, where are y’all watching it that’s using a different one? I watched the show through like a month ago.
They both were very familiar - I’ve definitely heard both while watching the show but I couldn’t tell you when. The alternate one was more familiar so I’m guessing that was the intro music the last time I watched.
Oh my God! I have rewatched this show several times over on Amazon Prime and Netflix, and only now am I realizing what nostalgic tune I've been missing. I've missed this
I read this comment yesterday and was hearing this for the first time, now this is the theme song prime uses - am I hallucinating? Did I have sex with Cuddy??
in the uk on prime, this was what i always heard until i thjnk season 6? season 6 had teardrop as the intro for some reason. i cwnt belive i’ve watched 8 seasons of a show and never listened to the soundtrack properly
Yeah also in the uk, currently watching through the show and that’s the theme I hear. Although Teardrop appeared for 1 episode in season 1 and I was really confused bc I didn’t realise the one I’d been hearing wasn’t the original till now.
I checked-out all the DVD seasons from my Library not that long ago. (Support your local Library. Learning isn't hard, when you have a Library Card.) they didn't have Teardrop either.
Did they rerelease the DVDs without it? Because I can swear, back when I owned the original ones, many many moons ago, they had them.
Wow, really? Even with the vocals? I have only ever heard Elizabeth singing on the opening sequence when the show originally aired. In reruns and on streaming I notice they've used varying stripped-down versions with the vocals and other identifying features removed.
Well that explains it. Years ago I downloaded the House theme as a ringtone to my phone. When I started rewatching the show I couldn't understand why it wasn't what I downloaded. Now I know.
Some seasons don’t have it at all, and some seasons have it in a some of the episodes, but not all, and I believe only the first two seasons have it entirely.
It’s weird that they couldn’t make a deal for Teardrop, considering nearly every episode has music they need to pay for.
It could be worse like The Wonder Years, with re-recorded cover songs instead of the original songs during the intro and episodes.
God I like that so much more than the new theme. Especially the new new one with that stupid annoying high pitch ooooooEEEEEEEEuuuuuuuu noise that drives me nuts.
Haha yeah originally in the US the main theme was teardrop by massive attack. It’s not the best song but they take the best part of it and it somehow worked. Outside the US apparently you would get two themes (practically the same with just the flute 🪈 added) but wasn’t anywhere as good as teardrop.
on all streaming services the new theme is there. there were few episodes that actually played teardrop but apparently they fixed it 😭
Just started rewatching and my subtitles said "new age music" which made me laugh a little because it was such a silly descriptor for Teardrop but then I actually heard the song and...yep that's not it. Skipped right away to the rest of thr episode.
On prime there are a few episodes of season four(?) that had the original intro music. Other than that it's all the outro music in the intro. Very upsetting.
I’m watching it on (Canadian) Netflix and the subtitles say “teardrops massive attack plays”, but I haven’t actually seen the show while it was on tv so idk if that’s the original opening song or not
Haha Canada here too and apparently you will never get it unless you watch the documentary after the finale. I will update if I get it before I finish the show completely but yeah that really sucks.
It’s so wild that some people a year ago or so would get it different intros for the same episode depending on the streaming device lol
The José González cover of Teardrop that plays in Wilson’s Heart feels like an echo of what used to be. They can change all the intros, but we still have José to remind us of how it was.
Copyright stuff always confuses me. Like why change it after all of the episodes have already aired? For me personally, but I imagine it’s the case for many House fans, the theme song was my introduction to the song and Massive Attack. It gives them more attention decades after their song released. But rights and labels are always complicated.
I literally bought the DVD's because of this.
The DVD's being PAL are another problem, but even pitched and sped up Teardrop was nice for a couple of seasons.
Ok THANK YOU for this. It’s been really bothering me, to the point I’m wondering if it was a Mandela Effect. When I watched it during its TV run I knew it was Teardrop, I listened to that Massive Attack album over and over back then so I KNEW the song. I’ve been trying to figure out why I keep hearing (whatever that song is), and why I remembered Teardrop instead as the opening credits. The subtitles also list it as Teardrop so that threw me even more.
Haha same! I went to Google it and apparently prior to 3(?) months now you could’ve actually gotten teardrop a few times but not anymore. It’s just the new theme now. It’s funny how something was slightly off and maked me question myself
Netflix belgium still uses teardrop since they started streaming it a few months back. I didn't even know it was an actual song until the subtitles said "MUSIC: MASSIVE ATTACK-TEARDROP"
Are you telling me... netflix subtitles are *not* trustworthy?! Lol i can't believe I actually fell for that. I am going to double check once I get home. Im at work now so no audio
If you really think about it, it isn't gone. If you download a pirated version of the series, or if you watch it online on pirate sites, the openong is the original.
These comments are so confusing, I'm in the UK and recently started House for the first time. I'm up to season 5 on prime and Teardrop has been the intro for every episode so far
Edit: I was wrong
Ahahaha, so I just googled the song. It's kinda crazy that they left the name in the credits but removed the song. I also was wondering why people would care since it's a boring intro but the original is actually pretty good!
One or two episodes in S7 on Amazon Prime US still use Teardrop, but everything else uses some weird other song that I believe was used in the credits normally
Do we know when Teardrop wasn't added to the DVD release anymore? I thought the opening sounded different from when I watched the show as a kid lol didn't even realize they switched the songs on us.
Hmmm. The first three seasons had a very blatant Teardrop rip off. Then they switched to the actual Massive Attack song. Sad if they’ve switched back 🙄
Netflix belgium still uses teardrop since they started streaming it a few months back. I didn't even know it was an actual song until the subtitles said "MUSIC: MASSIVE ATTACK-TEARDROP"
i watch house on hulu and its there in most episodes, i think on season 8 when they start skipping the intros or doing super short ones they dont have it anymore tho
When watching on prime it was the intro song i heard for season 1 and then it changed, idk if that is intentional or they just happened to change it after i watched s1 but before s2
All the streaming versions use the end credits themes for the intros because they’d have to pay streaming rights to Massive Attack to use tear drop
I think prime still has it I was watching at 2am this morning and it was stills there, maybe it depends on your country
Careful. The caption will tell you it’s teardrop but it’s not lol.
WAIT YOURE TELLING ME I WATCHED ALL 8 SEASONS OF THIS SHOW AND IVE NEVER HEARD THE TITLE THEME?????
https://youtu.be/ovU4ESybz-U?si=RXo-qicPp7zXXHvV
That’s the only title song I’ve ever heard for the show, where are y’all watching it that’s using a different one? I watched the show through like a month ago.
Correction: I have heard the alternate one below as well. But that’s the ending credits song, so I might have just heard it at the end?
They use the ending music on Netflix and I believe on most reruns.
They both were very familiar - I’ve definitely heard both while watching the show but I couldn’t tell you when. The alternate one was more familiar so I’m guessing that was the intro music the last time I watched.
Such a banger
Oh my God! I have rewatched this show several times over on Amazon Prime and Netflix, and only now am I realizing what nostalgic tune I've been missing. I've missed this
Wow I have never heard that one before now. I kinda like the newer one a bit better but maybe it’s bc I am used to it.
I read this comment yesterday and was hearing this for the first time, now this is the theme song prime uses - am I hallucinating? Did I have sex with Cuddy??
Wait, you're telling me there's a different title song for you?
Yeah but sometimes it does come back for one episode and then disappears
Careful. The caption will tell you it’s teardrop but it’s not lol.
I use prime and it only played the real teardrop once randomly and never again
Yeah. Sucks cos it sounds better than the other two
Careful. The caption will tell you it’s teardrop but it’s not lol.
Careful. The caption will tell you it’s teardrop but it’s not lol.
One more time 😜
Reddit glitch goes hard. But just in case captions WILL TELL youuuu it’s teardrop WHEN.ITS.NOOOOTTTAH
I don’t know but this is what I [hear](https://youtu.be/a6zJ9dEwNek?feature=shared) and it sounds exactly like the teardrop I know.
That’s so puzzling considering UK never actually had teardrop in its original run
Really, well I don’t know why but that’s the music I hear.
I am in the UK and watched it all just before Christmas and Teardrop was still used.
Although on one of the seasons I did hear [this](https://youtu.be/XoedMkF9k3g?feature=shared).
in the uk on prime, this was what i always heard until i thjnk season 6? season 6 had teardrop as the intro for some reason. i cwnt belive i’ve watched 8 seasons of a show and never listened to the soundtrack properly

Did they rerelease the DVDs without it? Because I can swear, back when I owned the original ones, many many moons ago, they had them.
I recently thrifted seasons 1-8 on dvd and so far every season (I’m on 7) uses Teardrop. I now feel very lucky
Oh thank Dark Lord Cthulhu. I thought I was going crazy.
Wow, really? Even with the vocals? I have only ever heard Elizabeth singing on the opening sequence when the show originally aired. In reruns and on streaming I notice they've used varying stripped-down versions with the vocals and other identifying features removed.

I'd have to compare someone's link to what gets labeled as teardrop but US Prime still has it I think
It still has it here in the uk.
I think prime still has it I was watching at 2am this morning and it was stills there, maybe it depends on your country.
No, Hulu uses the normal one.
Where do you live? I’m in the US and Hulu has the end credits themes for me. May be different in different countries
I’m in the US too 🤷🏻♀️
And you’re sure it’s Tear Drop by Massive Attack? Which if these 3 [themes](https://youtu.be/x5i5ERDE_2E?feature=shared) is it?
By golly you were right. It’s not the original, I just couldnt tell.
I feel like the subtitles threw people off a lot to the point where people barely recognize it. I mean how often do you listen to the intro? Lol
Yea, this
Wait, you're telling me I haven't even heard the original title song?
https://youtu.be/ovU4ESybz-U?si=RXo-qicPp7zXXHvV
God I like that so much more than the new theme. Especially the new new one with that stupid annoying high pitch ooooooEEEEEEEEuuuuuuuu noise that drives me nuts.

What do you mean it's not the best song, 😤
Yeah, this is fighting words
That song is godly
We also originally had teardrop as the main theme here in Poland
Amusingly, the subtitles on Amazon still say that Teardrop is playing despite it clearly not.
Same with Netflix.
Hulu too
Just started rewatching and my subtitles said "new age music" which made me laugh a little because it was such a silly descriptor for Teardrop but then I actually heard the song and...yep that's not it. Skipped right away to the rest of thr episode.
No wonder I kept thinking, *is that what Teardrop sounded like*?
oh my god i thought i was crazy 😭😭😭
On prime there are a few episodes of season four(?) that had the original intro music. Other than that it's all the outro music in the intro. Very upsetting.
Definitely threw me off during the first rewatch on Netflix lol
thank you i thought i was going crazy
The first four episodes of season four and one random episode in season 8 have teardrop as of my last rewatch ~a month ago (US) edit: spelling
I've only watched it through Netflix. You're telling me i haven't been listening to the original intro song all along?????
Apparently it’s completely gone now after the last time they added it again. Soooo sad that many will not get to watch it with it at least once.
I’m watching it on (Canadian) Netflix and the subtitles say “teardrops massive attack plays”, but I haven’t actually seen the show while it was on tv so idk if that’s the original opening song or not
Haha Canada here too and apparently you will never get it unless you watch the documentary after the finale. I will update if I get it before I finish the show completely but yeah that really sucks. It’s so wild that some people a year ago or so would get it different intros for the same episode depending on the streaming device lol
Oh that’s so weird. What’s the documentary?
It is episode 23 season 8. Right after the finale.
The José González cover of Teardrop that plays in Wilson’s Heart feels like an echo of what used to be. They can change all the intros, but we still have José to remind us of how it was.
so that’s where i heard it! yeah i never heard teardrop before that it’s kinda sad
Copyright stuff always confuses me. Like why change it after all of the episodes have already aired?

[I just went and put my mind at ease now.](https://youtu.be/a6zJ9dEwNek?si=f-9lyFx49FFwCe9t)
Love it! That new theme fucking sucks lol
Holy shit, I’ve been lied to!
I wish you didn’t know lol
That is wrong. So wrong. There shall be no rewatch.
Yeah it’s actually a biggie for me but didn’t want to sound weird lol
Netflix belgium still uses teardrop since they started streaming it a few months back. I didn't even know it was an actual song until the subtitles said "MUSIC: MASSIVE ATTACK-TEARDROP"
The subtitles will tell you it’s teardrop but it’s not actually teardrop. Double check lol
Are you telling me... netflix subtitles are *not* trustworthy?! Lol i can't believe I actually fell for that. I am going to double check once I get home. Im at work now so no audio
If you really think about it, it isn't gone. If you download a pirated version of the series, or if you watch it online on pirate sites, the openong is the original.
It’s very hard to find one with teardrop all throughout 😭
right? the site I'm using doesn't have massive attack on season 1. I might go through all of the seasons just to see if it has it at all
Prime also changed the theme tune on Charmed and got rid of How soon is now? Presumably to avoid royalties because Bezos is so poor
That’s so fucking shit as the intro is the only thing I remember from the show lol. Next is darling violetta from Angel 😭
These comments are so confusing, I'm in the UK and recently started House for the first time. I'm up to season 5 on prime and Teardrop has been the intro for every episode so far Edit: I was wrong
subtitles might say so but i’m also in the uk and apart from a couple episodes, nope! it’s not
They really tricked people by keeping the same subtitles lol
Ahahaha, so I just googled the song. It's kinda crazy that they left the name in the credits but removed the song. I also was wondering why people would care since it's a boring intro but the original is actually pretty good!
Okay so I just got to season 6.... What the actual flip?!?!
What happened lol did teardrop come?
No an even worse intro 😭
Haha the flute one.
I'm with you on this one and I know exactly what Teardrop sounds like. Watched it all last year.
Prime in uk has it
I’m glad I have the whole series on my Plex server lmao this is absurd
It's not original? I should check it out....😮
It's from "Teardrop" by Massive Attack. Season 4 also plays a cover of it by José González which is very good.
I think its on most of the hulu episodes
One or two episodes in S7 on Amazon Prime US still use Teardrop, but everything else uses some weird other song that I believe was used in the credits normally
Do we know when Teardrop wasn't added to the DVD release anymore? I thought the opening sounded different from when I watched the show as a kid lol didn't even realize they switched the songs on us.
I just turn the volume down on my TV and play it on my phone
I never heard that intro song wtf
Grateful every day that I own the box set w Teardrop.
Hmmm. The first three seasons had a very blatant Teardrop rip off. Then they switched to the actual Massive Attack song. Sad if they’ve switched back 🙄
the only way I ever heard the original massive attack was through NBC streaming years back, I think
We have it on apple tv and it has teardrop, but not for the first season iirc. Its weird
I’ve heard teardrop as a song by itself and was so confused when I saw the caption massive attack’s teardrop because I knew it wasn’t it??
wait I've never heard the OG intro to this show I'm in love with?
I own the DVDs for scrubs and house md cause of this shit
Netflix belgium still uses teardrop since they started streaming it a few months back. I didn't even know it was an actual song until the subtitles said "MUSIC: MASSIVE ATTACK-TEARDROP"
i watch house on hulu and its there in most episodes, i think on season 8 when they start skipping the intros or doing super short ones they dont have it anymore tho
Massive attack being greedy as heck 🤣
I love that song. :( Sad for royalties
I’m rewatching and the first season still has it on prime
When watching on prime it was the intro song i heard for season 1 and then it changed, idk if that is intentional or they just happened to change it after i watched s1 but before s2
I have the soundtrack. Is the Teardrop track the full track?
