I believe the producers chose the album because it speaks to the humanity of the rich while also satirizing that world. There’s something interesting about hearing an R&B vibe behind these very rich white folk. Finally, "Thinkin Bout You" ends the episode while Serena and Dan, the show's most annoying couple, eat pie and drink milkshakes in formal wear. "Pyramids" plays during the initial cotillion walk, the crux of the drama of the episode, which frankly is rather boring-it's just the lone teen character premering a semi-slutty dress at her cotillion to get her idiot rich dad to not marry Serena. In a perfect bookend, "Sweet Life" opens an actual cotillion everyone in the GG world is attending. But in the opening of "Monstrous Ball," the strains of "Super Rich Kids" hit during a montage of women dancing in ball gowns at their cotillions-more or less the welcoming ceremony for any wealthy community-and instantly the pairing feels perfect. "Lost" soundtracks a meddling phone call about breaking up Serena's (Blake Lively) upcoming, possible engagement to a rich dad-type (typical GG fare).

They felt that it commented on the zeitgeist of the show's world.Īt first it seems like a bizarre match-the last season of a fallen television show based on a YA series about a group of New York living rich kids on The CW and R&B's darling. Eduardo Ponsdomenech, a music editor for the show, told me that executive producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage and music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas came up with the idea after hearing Ocean's album. Okay, "on" is an exaggeration, but four months after Ocean dropped Channel Orange in July 2012, the album soundtracked the entire fifth episode of Gossip Girl's final season, "Monstrous Ball." It was the first time that his music had been used on television (and according to our internet sleuthing, the only time) and the first time a sole artist soundtracked an episode of Gossip Girl.
