Here we go, from the bottom up.<\/p>\n

5. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Backwards Walk\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Chuck versus the Pink Slip<\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay, so this is probably not a popular moment in Chuck lore. But please go to the forums if you want to argue about Chuck\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s decision not to leave with Sarah (and lets all remember that this was a year ago). However you feel about the scene over which this song played, you can probably admit that the song itself was perfect in the moment. A truly sad song about a man walking away from the girl that he loves? It doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get more fitting than that.<\/p>\n

4. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153No One\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Gonna Love You\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Chuck versus the Nemesis<\/strong><\/p>\n

I admit it, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m totally out of touch when it comes to music. So thank you Josh Schwartz for bringing Band of Horses to my attention. This is a really beautiful song and it plays over a fairly important scene. Did anyone really think that Sarah would choose to leave with Bryce? Probably not, but it was still hard to watch Chuck wonder, especially when this song made everybody\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s true feelings all the more clear.<\/p>\n

3. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Creature Fear\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201cChuck versus the Colonel<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, by the time they played this song, Chuck and Sarah were this close to getting together both emotionally and physically. The writers had spent two years building to that moment in the old motel room. And it was a big one, even if it got cut short. This song, with it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s deceptively quiet build up, was terrific for that and I loved that they brought it back at the end of the episode for the sweet, yet comparably simple scene when Chuck, now a normal guy, takes Sarah to the rehearsal dinner.<\/p>\n

2. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Feeling Good\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Chuck versus the Honeymooners<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m already anticipating a backlash in the comments as many would probably list this as their top song (and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get to my top choice momentarily). But let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s take a moment to talk about why this song provokes such a strong reaction. It comes at the end of an amusing episode that finally allowed Chuck and Sarah to enjoy one another\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s company as a real couple. And because of the sheer energy of this ep, I think most of us were expecting some bouncy triumphant song to play us out to the credits. Instead they went against our expectations and gave us something sexy yet relatively gentle. This song perfectly matched the scene of Chuck and Sarah relaxing on the bed, happily together after a long, hard day. And the fact that our resident badass Sarah will now count this soulful song as a favorite, only makes it that much easier to love.<\/p>\n

1.\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Down River\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Chuck versus the American Hero<\/strong><\/p>\n

So why did this one make my top spot? Allow me to explain myself. It was a tight race between this and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Feeling Good.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d What pushed it over the top for me is that this song is on every Chuck playlist I have, at home, at work, in my car. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just an awesome song. Plus it came at the end of a long, long period of Chuck & Sarah emotional angst. The fans had spent the better part of 12 episodes watching these two get pulled away from each other. And as much as Honeymooners had earned its quiet ending, American Hero needed something big and fun. Tell me you weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t cheering when Sarah decided to leave with Chuck and that chorus of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Go don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stop\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d came on.<\/p>\n

So that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my list of Chuck & Sarah songs. Which of their songs do you count as favorites and why?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

This week’s Friday Five is courtesy of KrisWatchesOn, who NBC ought to hire to create promos for Chuck. And we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re back for more Friday fun with Chuck! Recently I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve spent a lot of time thinking about the music of Chuck (I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m making a new CD for my long holiday drives).
