Black Mirror : Fifteen Million Merits song….

Fifteen Million Merits song….

The song the girl sings to the judges. I noticed it being sung in other episodes by other characters. Some sort of reason or connection as to why?

Re: Fifteen Million Merits song….

The song is "Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand)" from 1964 by Irma Thomas. Here's a link to the original song:

Charlie Brooker says they used the song throughout the series to "bring things together". If you were paying attention, you'll notice they even used it in "Men Against Fire" (a pretty unlikely story for a love song, but the female soldier sings a bit of it to try and drown out the guy who was shielding the cockroaches).

The show drops references to other episodes from time to time. That song is referenced in another episode, White Christmas. If you've seen Nosedive you will notice there is a reference to the first episode. There is a reference to The Waldo Moment in White Christmas.
