Behind the Musical: Watch the Original Grey's Anatomy Scenes That Featured the Songs!

Whether you loved it or loathed it, there's no denying that the Grey's Anatomy musical event gave us plenty to talk about. The episode showcased songs that have been featured on (and in a few cases, made popular by) the series, but some songs were more recognizable than others. It's hard to forget scenes like Denny's death ("Chasing Cars") or Meredith's bomb encounter ("Breathe (2 AM)"), but after last night's episode, I wanted to go back and see where some of the other songs came from.
