10 Songs That Need To Be On Scandal.

The only thing that rivals Scandal's intensity is the quality of its soundtrack. We've got 10 recommendations worthy of TV's most nerve-wracking show.

If Scandal viewers weren't tied in a knot from all the scandalousness, the ABC drama's song selection would receive its due. Almost every big funk/soul/r'nb/disco hit has made a cameo on the show and one track has even made a double appearance. As the show starts to run out of some of the more mainstream offerings, we thought we'd explore some deeper cuts that would fit right in.

For a behind the scenes look at Scandal's song curation, read "The Soul of Scandal."

Lowdown by Boz Scaggs

A complete no-brainer, so much so that I'm honestly surprised this song hasn't been used already.

Be Thankful For You Got by William DeVaughn

This would pair well with Olivia drinking some fine wine from a giant glass while contemplating her next move.

Heaven And Hell Is On Earth by 20th Century Steel Band

The title literally describes Scandal's numerous and complex battles between good and evil.

Walking Into Sunshine by Central Line

Peppy and upbeat, "Walking Into Sunshine" is the type of song to complement a montage of the team doing research on their latest client.

Love Me Tonight by Fern Kinney

Looking for a disco ballad that captures the yearning and volatile emotion of Olivia and Fitz. Here ya go.

Mr Bumpman by Jackie Beavers

Song is so funky it makes you put on a face like you just smelled something funky.

Every 1's A Winner by Hot Chocolate

There's a reason this stellar funk classic is both on my work and working out playlists; it's because I want to get shit done. So I highly recommend it for any scene that involves a plan coming together.

Never Gonna Give You Up by Barry White

Honestly Scandal, I'm #SMH at you for going almost four seasons without a single Barry White joint. Bookmark this sultry hypnotizing classic the next time some raunchy and infidelious lovemaking happens.

Spooky by Dusty Springfield

Sure, "Spooky" deviates from Scandal's soul heavy cache, but like Olivia Pope at her best, it's undeniably cool and composed.

Spill The Wine by Eric Burdon and War

If Shonda Rhimes wants to get super meta, she could play this song during a moment where Olivia actually spills her wine. If not, I could imagine this groove playing background to a montage of Quinn seducing a high-level official as some part of a master plan.
