  1. "Acceptance"
    Music at the end is Jeff Buckley's version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" from Buckley's CD "Grace". You can listen to a sample near the bottom of the main Amazon page.

    Christina Aguilera's song "Beautiful" from her album "Stripped" is the music in the teaser as we see Andie at home. At the very end of the episode (with House after he leaves the hospital) Elvis Costello is heard in a "cover" of the same song (currently unavailable).

    Bird York
    Near the end of the episode — up to the point at which the patient leaves the hospital — the song in the background is Bird York's "In The Deep" from her CD "The Velvet Hour".
    (Ms York also played Toby's ex wife in "The West Wing".)
    This song was identified in the closed captioning.

    OperaWhat was the Opera House was listening to on his iPod in the locker room before and after he had his team listen to the heart beats?
    "Nessan Dorma (no one sleeps) from Puccini's Turandot". This whole opera is available on this album "Puccini - Turandot / Sutherland · Pavarotti · Caballé · Ghiaurov · Krause · Pears · LPO · Mehta " although we do not know if this is the version that House was listening to.

    See more information on how this opera relates to the episode.
