The Spies - "Tired of Being Alone" (1998) Plays while Xander, Buffy and Willow watch Cordelia ostentatiously enjoying herself at the Bronze.
Plastic - "Dedicated to Pain" (Unreleased) This song plays as Vamp Willow and Vamp Xander walk into the Bronze to visit the Master.This episode is mainly inspired by the Frank Capra's 1946 Christmas classic It's a Wonderful Life, in which George Bailey (played by Jimmy Stewart) wishes he had never been born, and is then shown by an angel how much worse his loved ones' lives would have been without him. In this permutation, the angel is replaced by a demon called Anyanka, who Giles describes as "a sort of patron saint of scorned women" who grants wishes.
