May 15, 2015 1:30 PM UTC The first episode of _Mad Men_ ends with Don Draper watching over his children while we hear “On The Street Where You Live,” a song from _My Fair Lady_ about elusive love and the fantasy it provides. By the end of season six, Don is standing with his children in front of a house that looks nothing like that perfect suburbia. “This is where I grew up,” he says. Shortly afterward, we hear Judy Collins’ version of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now,” a song about coming to terms with reality. The final song in an episode of _Mad Men_ has come to be a hallmark of the show, serving as a thematic barometer for episode that preceded it. Vulture’s Margaret Lyons [once](http://www.vulture.com/2012/04/mad-men-credits-songs.html) wrote the music “serves as a punchy and sometimes twisted button on the episode.” Asked for his favorite “credits song” in a Reddit AMA, creator Matthew Weiner [said](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2e0npr/hi%5Fmy%5Fname%5Fis%5Fmatthew%5Fweiner%5Fyou%5Fmay%5Fknow%5Fme%5Ffrom/): “Every song is there for a reason and some are more emotional to me than others. I write to music and I even had a file in my iTunes for years filled with songs that I hoped I would be able to use in my then non-existant TV show.” With the show coming to an end this Sunday, there has already been speculation as to what musical note it will end on—and [you can cast your vote in our poll now](http://time.com/3854120/vote-last-song-on-mad-men/). But to better remember the last seven seasons, we’ve built a nearly comprehensive playlist of the songs that closed out _Mad Men_ episodes. (Thanks to Basket of Kisses [for their compilation](http://www.lippsisters.com/bible/musical-references/) of music from the show, [Tune Find](http://www.tunefind.com/show/mad-men/season-7/21263#songs) and other [Internet obsessives](http://www.reddit.com/r/madmen/comments/1azqm6/can%5Fanyone%5Ffind%5Fthe%5Fversion%5Fof%5Fbeethovens%5Fode%5Fto/).) Among the songs missing: The Beatles’ [“Tomorrow Never Knows,”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tV0l62RZ80) which closes the season five episode “Lady Lazarus” and was pricey, [according to the New York _Times_](http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/07/how-mad-men-landed-the-beatles-all-you-need-is-love-and-250000/). The Beatles catalog is not on Spotify. In some cases, simply the specific version of a song used on _Mad Men_ wasn’t available on Spotify, like [Nellie McKay’s “Christmas Waltz,”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLy7MShXRxI) which Weiner said “inspired the whole episode of that name.” The songs on this playlist, however, should satisfy your need for _Mad Men_ nostalgia. It is, after all, “delicate, but potent.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3857630/mad-men-music-last-songs/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3857630/mad-men-music-last-songs/"},"headline":"Hear the Closing Songs From Mad Men in One Playlist","datePublished":"2015-05-15T13:30:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:10:38.506Z","description":"Take a trip back through Mad Men history","url":"https://time.com/3857630/mad-men-music-last-songs/","keywords":["Music","Mad Men","Bob Dylan"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt432370205d0b2bee/6987efbd3c16393bae456006/483675f1-71e8-221e-c48c-a9c6f5e0c4dc_mm_613_jt_0416_076.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Esther Zuckerman","jobTitle":"Zuckerman is a contributor for TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/esther-zuckerman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt432370205d0b2bee/6987efbd3c16393bae456006/483675f1-71e8-221e-c48c-a9c6f5e0c4dc_mm_613_jt_0416_076.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"o Credit: Jamie Trueblood/AMC","caption":"o Credit: Jamie Trueblood/AMC","creditText":"Jaimie Trueblood/AMC","representativeOfPage":true}],"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":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3857630/mad-men-music-last-songs/","name":"Hear the Closing Songs From Mad Men in One Playlist"}}]}] ```
