Sitcoms and popular music normally don’t really go together, right? Horrible, awkward transmissions, such as that time Boy George was on "The A Team", destined to echo forever on youtube, DVD box sets and randomly titled TV channels.

There are exceptions, like that time Motörhead were on "The Young Ones", Chas and Daves’ soundtracking of "In Sickness And In Health" and of course Dexy’s Midnight Runners’ contribution to "Brush Strokes". Fortunately “The Inbetweeners Soundtrack” is one of these exceptions.

The mammoth and varied tracklisting includes:
Morning Runner - Gone Up In Flames
The Libertines - Don't Look Back Into The Sun
The Wombats - Moving To New York
Jamie T - Sheila
The Duke Spirit - Love Is An Unfamiliar Name
Thom Stone - She Knows
Mumm-Ra - She's Got You High
Jack Penate - Second, Minute Or Hour
The Cure - Inbetween Days

All this and lots of soundbites from the series, including, a very interesting alternative use for Lego, and a short lecture on the benefits of caravanning.
