Season Five Awards – Part Two
Best Use of Classic Rock
I know many of you are thinking “Rock of Ages” in the finale, but for me, nothing tops the examination of the carnage in Colorado to Norman Greenbaum’s bouncy and apocalypse appropriate “Spirit in The Sky” in “Good God Y’all.” That crossed number one off my “most wanted Classic Rock†list, plus this whole scene involved one of the sweetest Mustangs I’ve ever seen, and I’m a Mustang aficionado. Let’s sing along!
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that’s the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky
Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky
That’s where I’m gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that’s the best
Prepare yourself you know it’s a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He’s gonna recommend you
to the Spirit in The Sky…
A very close second is the opening montage showing Sam and Dean’s separate lives to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “A Simple Man” in “Free To Be You And Me.” The way this scene is cut is so brilliant, showing Sam and Dean doing similar gestures in very different situations and places. It gets the heart strings going early.
By far my favorite!! Pudding!!
In the physical pain for Sam category, you forgot when he got hit in the face by a plunger. =]
I love these awards! They’re really helping to ease the pain of the hellatus. So thank you!
I suggest shirtless Sam in Free To Be You and me gets a honorable mention too. 😉
Hi Alice
Another great list.
Agree totally with the Best use of Classic Rock, Most touching brotherly moment and Funniest moments. I wonder if the tug on Deans nose was in the script or if it was a add lib on Jared’s part.
Loved Dean’s most outrageous moments, I’ll never again look at Pudding in the same way.
Excellent, Alice. I LOVE lists. The pudding dance will be my best rememberence of season 5. I can’t remember when I laughed so hard. Hope we see more comic moments in season 6.
What a great list! I love the brotherly moment a lot… it definitely made me cry. Because of the pudding scene, the word “pudding” makes me laugh every time I hear it now! Looking forward to Part 3.
Awesome, Alice, as ever. Love it, love it, love it…. Best show on tv, ever – thanks so much for this! I love you, crazy gal!
Cheers Jas
I love the season awards! These are awesome, thanks Alice. Worst hair appearance, lol–couldn’t be bothered to wipe off his face, so the hair’s even lower priority than usual :D. The torture lists, OMG, put it all together like that–poor boys! Escape from Lucifer only to get smacked in the face with a toilet plunger–nice call, Megan–guess it never ends :D. Loved the classic rock pick (I think Skynyrd’s my personal favorite, but the way they used Norman Greenbaum was inspired–love it!
The decapitation of Paris Hilton almost makes up for the senseless murder of Casey. Almost.
Great use of Spirit in the Sky, but gotta go with Simple Man. Love me some Skynyrd. 😀
Awesome as always, Alice.
Words that never fail to make me smile: Bitch…. Jerk…. and now Pudding!.
Awesome part 2, Alice! I can’t wait to see what you come up with for part 3!
Oh, and love the screencaps, as always–ezpecially loved that one of John & Mary *sniffle*
Pudding, that one gets me every time. Admittedly, seeing it posted as a gif image makes me cringe more than it does evoke a chuckle. But it was memorable in the least.
yay love your lists.
For me the most deppressing ending was “Dark side of the moon” when Dean throw the amulet and watching Dean and Cass devastated without God’s help, I remember I was still sad Friday and Saturday, 😛 hehe
And funniest moment, omg with Changing Channels I couldn’t choose 🙂
Oooh, love the lovely lists, it’s worth being out of the loop for a bit just to come back to riches … All good stuff.
Keep the faith, chaps, we’ll get our ‘Gators sooner or later! Probably in season 10 when everyone involved is looking for an excuse to get cancelled … 😆
Lovely continuation of this list. Especially about the Classic Rock. Spirit in the Sky playing as the boys enter the deserted town was priceless. And I am with you in regards to the Ford Mustang. I would LOVE to have me one of those cars. My family used to have a 65 Ford Mustang, but then my brother had to go and wreck it. Stupid brother. I loved that car. Now I just need to get one for myself.
