Music in Dollhouse
Dollhouse is an American television series created by Joss Whedon. Unlike Whedon's previous works, Dollhouse does not have a heavy focus on music (either popular songs or original music by the show's composers). While several songs have been used in the show, an official soundtrack has yet to be released.
The Dollhouse theme song is "What You Don't Know," performed by Jonatha Brooke. It was written by Brooke and Eric Bazilian.[1] As of May 5, 2009, the song has been available for purchase on iTunes. However, it is a different mix of the version that was used in the Dollhouse music video that was a limited-time promotional iTunes download. A MP3 download of the music video version has since circulated the internet. A shortened sample of the song is used for the opening and closing credits of Dollhouse.
The Dollhouse promotional advertisements featured the songs "Massive Dose" by Sonic Librarian, a cover of "Cobrastyle" performed by Robyn, and "Boys Wanna Be Her" by Peaches. [2]
The show's music score is composed by both Mychael Danna and Rob Simonsen. Seven tracks from Dollhouse can be played on Simonsen's website, but cannot be downloaded.[3]
