The songs used as background music add an important element to The Anna Nicole Show, lending mood and theatricality to the candid footage. Some recurring passages even serve as operatic leitmotifs, most notably in the Bobby Trendy theme ("Return of the Tres" by Delinquent Habits). And even though they're obscure, these tunes are a surprisingly good bunch of contemporary pop songs, tons more listenable than the average crap that's on the radio these days.
Following clues from the music credits at the end of each episode (which are far from being complete or accurate), I have tracked down all the identification I could on the songs from the show's soundtrack. I've also listed the occurrences of unidentified but significant songs that repeat throughout the series as signature themes. Plus, I've put together an artist discography so you can learn about all these performers you've never heard of, and then buy their CDs and burn your own Anna Nicole Show soundtrack album, like I've done. Believe me, it rocks!
