--- --- # Vote: What Should Be the Last Song on _Mad Men_? by [Sarah Begley](https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/) ## Sarah Begley May 12, 2015 2:48 PM UTC by [Sarah Begley](https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/) ## Sarah Begley May 12, 2015 2:48 PM UTC Matthew Weiner has often delighted fans (and piqued their curiosity) with his selections for closing songs on _Mad Men_, and the track that will play over the finale’s credits on Sunday might be the most anticipated musical decision on cable TV. Many variables will factor into the selection—will the series end on a triumphant note, or a pitiful one? What will the date be? (We’re assuming it will still be 1970 for the purposes of this poll.) And will Weiner go mainstream or offbeat? Since _Mad Men’s_ television forebear _The Sopranos_ closed with one of the most popular songs of all time, “Don’t Stop Believin,’” don’t expect him to be too highbrow to play a top hit. Could one of these 18 songs be the track _Mad Men_ ends on? Cast your vote here. Don’t see the song you want here? Share your idea on Twitter by tweeting @TIME.
