The Ultimate 'Mad Men' Playlist

Music has always been a key part of Mad Men, and with Season Four jumping to 1964 a Cheap Rosetta Stone watershed year for rock and Motown Rosetta Stone compiled a playlist of songs that could easily soundtrack Don Drapers dramas. Read Rob Sheffields take on the new season while kicking back to these tracks:"It Aint Me Babe" Bob Dylan On the Another Side of Bob Dylan closer, the singer spurns a lover looking for more than a quick fling. "Im not the one you want, babe/I will only let you down," Dylan sings, a line tailor-made for the philandering Don Draper. The perfect soundtrack for: Don and Bettys first post-divorce tryst."I Saw Her Standing There" The Beatles A song about a not-quite-legal love interest "She was just 17, you know what I mean," sings McCartney to which the cradle-robbing Roger Sterling could surely relate. The perfect soundtrack for: An awkward scene where Roger tries to integrate Jane, his preposterously young wife, into the rigid hierarchies of Manhattan social life."You Really Got Me" The Kinks Louder and brasher than anything yet written by the Beatles or the Stones, "You Really Got Me" was a herald of hard rock to come. Its also the Cheap Rosetta Stone Software quintessential anthem of lust at first sight, something the ad men at Dons agency are not strangers to. The perfect soundtrack for: Any scene where Joan turns every head in the office. In slo-mo."I Get Around" The Beach Boys A thinly disguised ode to the joys of promiscuity, "I Get Around" finds the Beach Boys bragging, "We always take my car cause its never been beat/and weve never missed yet with the girls we meet." The song is also a wake-up call for anyone who thinks the sexual revolution didnt get its proper start until later in the decade just like Mad Men. The perfect soundtrack for: A feminine role reversal. Think Peggy in a dancehall, seducing a cute stranger."A Change Is Gonna Come" Sam Cooke An oft-covered, indisputably brilliant, righteously soulful recording, "A Change is Gonna Come" was released after Cookes death and became an anthem of the Civil Rights movement, which is a frequent subtext and topic of conversation on the show. The perfect soundtrack for: A montage of cardigan-clad progressive Paul Kinsey, sulking after being passed over by Don at the new agency in favor of Peggy, before deciding to leave office life behind and become a full-time activist."Where Did Our Love Go" The Supremes The Supremes had a big year in 1964, taking over the world with a combination of stellar Rosetta Stone language songwriting, killer fashion sense, and, of course, Diana Ross legendary pipes.
