REVIEW OF REVIEWS
The thing I love about the theme song being the final track is the nostalgia in that placement. (Or, is it a thing for TV themes to always be the final track on soundtracks?) One of my very cassette tapes back in 1992 was the soundtrack to Beverly Hills, 90210, which also featured the original John E. Davis theme as its last track. I was so cool with that song came on! Or, at least, I felt cool. And that album — featuring Color Me Badd, Paula Abdul, Vanessa Williams, and Jody Watley — was my fourth grade jam, hands down.
The show, new and old, has always been good at keeping up with the latest music trends; it just changes with the times. For instance, the West Beverly Hills High School prom in 1993 featured guest star Cathy Dennis, while the prom on “90210” in 2008 featured guest stars The Veronicas. Even the CW web site, the network which airs the new “90210,” has a page dedicated to songs featured on the teen drama.
