'The Mentalist' Climbs Netflix Charts Again, Seven Seasons of Music from Bach to Bon Jovi

A crime drama where Beethoven's "Für Elise" and "Macarena" can show up in the same episode—that's the most direct picture of "The Mentalist" soundtrack list. Created by Bruno Heller and starring Simon Baker as former fake psychic Patrick Jane, the series originally ran for seven seasons and 151 episodes from 2008 to 2015, and has now been fully re-added to Netflix, climbing back up the platform's charts. The cast also includes Robin Tunney as senior agent Teresa Lisbon, along with Tim Kang, Owain Yeoman, and Amanda Righetti.

The show's original score was composed by Blake Neely, with a 27-track compilation from the first two seasons released back in 2010. Beyond that, the licensed music woven throughout the series spans an impressive range: from classical pieces like Bach's "Prelude and Fugue in C Major" and Beethoven's "Für Elise," to Ini Kamoze's "Here Comes The Hotstepper" and Los Del Rio's "Macarena," through to later-season tracks like Lana Del Rey's "Off To The Races," The Rolling Stones' "Let It Bleed," Bon Jovi's "Livin' On A Prayer," and Earth, Wind & Fire's "September."
