House M.D.’s Creed
While I am not much of a television watcher I do tend to keep it on for background noise (it also helps drown out the whispering voices telling me to pick up the power tools and…scratch all that). The other day I was busy doing something productive like assessing my retirement mutual fund portfolio when my ears picked up the theme song to the show ‘House’ emanating from my telly. Strangely, it was like 6:48 in the evening, and not time for the show ‘House’. Egad, did my house get trapped in a time-space continuum distortion? And I thought the chances of that happening again were pretty remote.
Looking up it turned out to be a commercial for Assassin’s Creed. But with the ‘House’ theme music. Or so I thought. But that couldn’t be it, could it? Sure, the music was actually doing a nice job fitting in with the commercial, but using a composition that folks already know from a television show seemed a little odd. Imagine a Bioshock commercial with the theme song from ‘What’s Happening!!’ It may fit perfectly, but everyone is going to be thinking Rerun, not Big Daddies.
Turns out though that it is indeed the theme song from ‘House’. Go figure. Now I wonder if there’s a cheat mode that turns you into a misanthropic cripple with a sword cane? That would be pretty sweet…
Not just pretty sweet, awesome beyond compare.
And the song is “Teardrop” by Massive Attack, a rather interesting ditty that I heard long before I ever saw House, but regardless, I still associate with house.
The assasin’s creed commercial is great, too…

Yeah, I ended up discovering the song title and who did it while rooting around on YouTube, although I haven’t looked for the entire song. I do plan on doing that though, it definitely starts off interesting.
So how’s the rest of their stuff?
