Here's a fun one:
"Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by Edison Lighthouse for "Frankie My Dear." (
)
It's lame, but the song is about a girl who spreads love wherever she is, and that's basically the whole plot of FMD. (Mind you this song is from the 1970's-- I have odd musical tastes. Most of the stuff on my iPod is from my parents. They have great music!)

Added 10/19: Got another one!
"Online" by Brad Paisley for "World Wide Wabbit."
I'm so much cooler online
Yeah, I'm cooler online
The actual song is a little different, but these lines just give the whole image of that video Bloo and Mac got (not telling so people who haven't seen the episode can have a chance and be surprised) a great ironic humor.

Added 10/20: And yet another...
"Homeward Bound" by Simon and Garfunkle for "Good Wilt Hunting."
I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket for my destination
On a tour of one night stands
My suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one man band
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thoughts escaping
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Everyday's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
And every strangers face I see
Reminds me that I long to be
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thoughts escaping
Home, where my musics playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Tonight 'Ill sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to me
In shades of mediocrity
Like emptyness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thoughts escaping
Home, where my musics playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Silently for me
Silently for me
This song just fits Wilt whole cross-country journey about going back to his old neighborhood, and I'd imagine going back home to Foster's. (Man, I'm long-winded today...
)

10/24: Got a new one... AGAIN
"I Get Around" by the Beach Boys for "House of Bloos," particularly these lines:
I'm gettin' bugged driving up and down the same old strip
I gotta finda new place where the kids are hip
My buddies and me are getting real well known
Yeah, the bad guys know us and they leave us alone
This just sums up Mac and Bloo's feelings by the end of the pilot ep perfectly.
