The highly addictive podcast’s [season finale](http://time.com/3641263/serial-adnan-sarah-koenig-murder/ "undefined") was released yesterday and while there are [other books, television shows and podcasts](http://time.com/3599406/serial-what-to-watch-hear-and-read-if-youre-obsessed-with-the-podcast/ "undefined") to enjoy while waiting for the show’s TBD second season, the end of the podcast has left a void. Luckily some genius felt our pain and decided to help fill that gaping void by mashing up the _Serial_ theme music with the Notorious B.I.G.’s [“Somebody’s Gotta Die,”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLj1fHfWjUc "undefined") a song choice that brings to mind [this Clickhole article](http://www.clickhole.com/article/superfan-man-has-agreed-be-murdered-ensure-second--1443 "undefined") that claims a superfan has agreed to be murdered to ensure a second season of the podcast. It’s the Notorious B.I.G., so be aware that the lyrics are NSFW and decidedly not PC: \[H/T [Digg](http://digg.com/video/someone-remixed-serial-and-notorious-b-i-g-and-its-great "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3641852/serial-podcast-notorious-big-mashup/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3641852/serial-podcast-notorious-big-mashup/"},"headline":"Some Genius Mixed the Serial Theme With Notorious B.I.G.","datePublished":"2014-12-19T16:51:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:15:29.012Z","description":"Fill the Serial void with this mashup","url":"https://time.com/3641852/serial-podcast-notorious-big-mashup/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","Podcast","Serial"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3641852/serial-podcast-notorious-big-mashup/","name":"Some Genius Mixed the Serial Theme With Notorious B.I.G."}}]}] ```
