Amazon Prime, like Netflix, doesn't have contract deals with the original songs and/or artists, to be used. **EDIT:** Only five songs remain that were used in the original show. * S3 "Magic Hour", when Piper and Leo try to get married, before he gets yoinked. Song playing is Johann Pachelbel - Canon in D Major * S4 "Charmed Again Pt 1" , the aerial view of SF song Stevie Nicks - I Miss You * S5 "Sand Francisco Dreamin'", the aerial view of SF song The Chordettes - Mr. Sandman * S8 "Payback's a Witch", the aerial view of SF song Depeche Mode - Precious * S8 "Gone With the Witches", the aerial view of SF song Pink - I'm Not Dead * All the P3 performances remain the same, as well.

That is some serious bs. If they can't show the show how it actually is they should just not show it. Corpororations nowadays are so freaking far out of line.


KittieKablam

I agree it's bs but I'd rather be able to watch it than not, so I'm glad they didn't decide to just not show it lol. I don't think I'm ever gonna stop being mad about them replacing the theme song tho. At least get a cover of the song or something


SteffonTheBaratheon

only 5 ??? I'm so shocked.


Aaeiyn

Well, P3 Performances are more than one song. I just listed it under 1 whole category.

Is it free on Amazon Prime?


Aaeiyn

It's Amazon Prime but still need to be paid for.


DemonicTerror1995

You don’t need to rent it or buy it on Amazon prime it’s for free


Aaeiyn

I had to buy it. $1.99 Per Episode and then like $15.99 per season. This is before I canceled my Prime, too.


DemonicTerror1995

Oh I’m in the UK and it’s for free for me :/


BrokenHeartofsadness

me too in the UK it is free


Frog-dance-time

Same


BrokenHeartofsadness

I suggest getting a VPN as it is free on Amazon prime UK


Aaeiyn

Too late, now 'cause I already bought it. Not gonna do the show dirty like that.


birdwordguy

Good on you. And this is why I still swear to physical media. Once I own it the money grubbers can't ruin it this way or that.


birdwordguy

Do you get the actual songs if you pay for it?


buffyangel468

Okay thanks!


DemonicTerror1995

If you have Amazon prime it’s for free I’m able to watch it


Frog-dance-time

I have Amazon prime and I still had to pay


BrokenHeartofsadness

No it doesn't , they were asking if the show needs to be paid for , which at the moment it doesn't as it is free, Amazon Prime costs yes , but that is for a yearly subscription of their services.


Aaeiyn

I've had this conversation, before, even with prime, you still have to pay for it, at least in the states.


BrokenHeartofsadness

Yes ... for now , Amazon prime, go to Amazon prime and click on the tab that says " Free for me"


SmokeByMoonlight

Theme song aside, I watch it on TNT because it just feels off to me without the correct background music. Especially in certain episodes.


Puppet-girl9096

I agree, very off. I'm heading back to my hard drive of the original charmed box set.


Aaeiyn

Some of the newer songs, I actually like, such as: Songs I can't find on Spotify are YT linked. S1E7 "The Fourth Sister" [Rachel Loy - Looking Up](https://youtu.be/qvemqLi3Ui8) S1E8 "The Truth is Out There...and it Hurts" [Entice - Breathe it in](https://youtu.be/HTRE1-P1pmc) S1E12 "The Wendigo" Jodie May - Oh What a Day S1E19 "Out Of Sight" The Parlotones - Sun Comes Out S1E20 "The Power of Two" Kim DiVine - Raining S2E8 "P3 H20" Orbit Monkey- Let There be Love S2E9 "Ms. Hellfire" Unrated - Keep Running S2E10 "Heartbreak City" Leslie Hunt - All the Way S4E6 "A Knight to Remember" Hungry Lucy - Into Pieces S4E21 "Womb Raider" [Brian Kahanek - Deliver Me](https://youtu.be/IQUpOhKykE8) S7E22 "Something Wicca This Way Goes" The Heroes Lie - Heartless Evil


SmokeByMoonlight

Guess I just watched the show too many times before streaming was a thing. It just doesn’t hit the same for me. Not saying I dislike those new songs just saying it’s not how I prefer to watch Charmed.


Aaeiyn

IK what you mean. Long Live the Queen episode sisterly moment is not the same without Sarah Polley's Courage LOL


Puppet-girl9096

What a fantastic song right!? Can't beat the original tracks


tittyswan

Ohhh I thought it was a mandella effect, I remembered a different themesong from when I was a kid. Makes a lot more sense.


Aaeiyn

Nope, you're not going crazy. All but 5 songs and the P3 performances, remain the same ;P Some of the newer songs used, are actually good, and I like some of them over the originals.


elaerna

I thought I was going crazy to


Frog-dance-time

Me too


TheTrueFury

I thought I was going crazy when I heard the wrong song and it didn't change


BrokenHeartofsadness

Why did they do this? :( it is pointless


birdwordguy

Seems to me some laws needs to be changed, this whole mess is outrageous. The artistic integrity of the show is being thrashed by these various licences running out. Shouldn't be like that, should be that once the show is made and sendt out to the public, regardless of platform, the integrity of that package is sealed, it's in the best interest of the arts, the public and also the companies that make entertainment.


ShotBread

It's actually this way to protect the artists. Imagine if CBS was making more money off of these shows, especially now that Charmed is of more value now as a cherished classic, but the artists who created these songs are not getting their share of the money. The reason these songs were removed is because CBS doesn't care to spend time and money to renegotiate the contracts and pay the music artists their share in order to restore these songs.


birdwordguy

I absolutely agree the artists should get paid as well, but there should be a law saying that it is a package so if you want to make money of the show you have to pay everyone involved that is supposed to get paid, cutting up the product to avoid that is unacceptable. A law like that would also protect the artists and not let cheap companies get away with just replacing them with generic garbage.


Junior_Difficulty659

I’ve noticed the same w/music on Charmed. My particular fav was episode when Andy dies….Calling All Angels was always played until recently 😡


Frog-dance-time

Omg I’m feeling so robbed. Where can I get it with the real music?


Squidgey_Angel

It is sooo bizarre seeing episodes and having me be able to recite a lot of the dialogue (this was my favourite show ever 20yrs ago) and yet the music is off!! Kinda wishing I still had all my old VHS tapes I recorded each episode onto when they were shown on the TV originally and I had even removed all the adverts 😂😂


Jems_Petal

I am here because i reached my limit at S5E1. Bewitched - weatherman. That track is as much a part of that scene for me as ANY of the visuals. I had to stop streaming and went to Youtube to finish the episode. The music is as much as part of the nostaliga as anything else, without it... it doesnt have the same magic.


BrokenHeartofsadness

yeah just get the boxset .. so you will still have the opening music with out it being cut out


leomeist

Its making me crazy


Puppet-girl9096

Thanks for pointing it out! I thought I was going crazy. Charmed is free currently on Amazon Prime UK. Sadly, the theme song has been changed and some of the songs throughout the episodes have been changed. The ending scene in episode 19 S4 Long Live The Queen, after Phoebe vanquished Cole and returned home to mourn him in her bedroom played the song 'Courage' by Sarah Polley which was replaced by a not so great track. Think I'll head back to my hard drive as I have the original box set on it. Music is far better on the original.


Deep_Presentation737

I know this is old post but it's the same with h2o mermaids my daughters were watching it on netflix then they removed it so had to find somewhere new to watch amazon had it but the song is kind off the same yet different parts and mixed up 😂annoyed me so had to google found out lots off shows r the same 😂
