Supernatural: 20 Greatest Music Moments
16. "Renegade" By Styx (2.12, "Nightshifter")
When an attempt to hunt down a shapeshifter inside of a bank goes seriously awry, the Winchesters end up in a standoff with law enforcement. The slow opening strains of "Renegade" play as the SWAT team breaks into the bank to take down the brothers, who are forced to knock out two of the agents and steal their uniforms. Their identities concealed, Sam and Dean just walk out of the bank and return to the Impala. Sitting still for a long moment, they reflect on the fact that they will now be wanted men. "We are so screwed," says Dean. "Renegade" picks up and begins to blast as Dean then starts the car and pulls out of the garage, running a STOP sign on the way.
15. "Heat of the Moment" By Asia (3.11, "Mystery Spot")
Yep, this is the one.
"Mystery Spot" is actually among the funniest episodes of Supernatural. Thanks to the interference of a Trickster (who is actually the angel Gabriel, but that comes much later), Sam is forced to relive the same day over and over again. Each day, Dean dies in some violent, unlikely, and usually hilarious manner, and Sam wakes up to Asia's "Heat of the Moment" wailing out of the alarm clock in their motel room. The episode takes a sudden serious turn about halfway through, but there is no way that any viewers can go the rest of the day without "It was the heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat of the moment!" stuck in their heads.
