Carole King is woven into the Gilmore Girls universe so much that it’s difficult to note her involvement. The singer not only cameoed, but she also was the voice behind the show’s iconic theme song. King also appeared in A Year in the Life and had a private concert with cast members.

Gilmore Girls ran from 2000 until it ended in 2007. Gg returned nine years after its ending for a special miniseries called Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life and brought back almost every cast member. Although King wasn’t a core cast member, she is still technically a huge part of it, and her appearance in an episode of the miniseries Ayitl proves that.

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life was missing something fans around the world have come to associate with it: the theme song. All 153 episodes of the original Gilmore Girls run featured a revised version of "Where You Lead" by Carole King and daughter Louise Goffin, but the four chapters of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life—"Winter," "Spring," "Summer" and "Fall"—were devoid of the iconic song, save for the end credits of "Fall." What happened? No, Carole King didn't revoke her rights—in fact, she appeared as Stars Hollow's music shop owner Sophie and even sang—it was a conscious choice by creator Amy Sherman-Palladino. "Well, we were...

It's true: No other television show has a better theme song than Gilmore Girls. Even out of context, Carole King and her daughter Louise Goffin's "Where You Lead" brings you back to Stars Hollow — it's that integral to the show. And it's not Gilmore Girls' only musical coup: The show's soundtrack featured the likes of Yo La Tengo, the Shins, Big Star, and Björk, with Sam Phillips's signature "la-la-la" refrains serving as transitions between scenes.

Here's why.Even through marathons, I promise you, it won't get old. The second time I watched Gilmore Girls in its entirety was via a DVD box set a friend graciously lent me in college. And while I...
