Watching Studio60

You know, for a show that was only on one season, and whose two main couples spent much of that time apart and bantering, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip has inspired an awful lot of romantic YouTube music montages. The Marriet shippers seem to be outdoing the Jordanny crew by a bit, but both pairings have worked up quite a bit of creative enthusiasm.

Below, for your Valentine’s Day enjoyment, is a list of tunes to which devotional YouTube videos to one of our S60 couples have been set. There’s Sting’s “Fields of Gold,” of course, a tune by Studio 60 musical guest Corinne Bailey Rae, the obligatory Snow Patrol tracks, and a surprising number of teen-idol tunes. Pick a song you like and revel in the complicated affection and romantic longing, set to pop music. It’s Valentine’s Day, Studio 60 style.
