Joss Whedon's 15 Greatest Musical Moments

By Josh Kurp | Lists | August 6, 2012 |

Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon have the best life. She’s a simply awesome “tiny Asian woman with a sailor mouth,” in her words, and he’s the brother of Joss, yes, but also a very talented writer and musician who co-wrote “(Do You Wanna Date My) Avatar” for Felicia Day’s The Guild. Together, they’ve written for Spartacus, Dollhouse, The Avengers, and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Over the weekend, the power couple put out on an EP called This Girl, which you can listen to here. Being a talented singer and musician must be in the Whedon blood because many of Joss’s finest scenes (sorry to go back to your brother, Jed), whether they be on Buffy or Angel or Firefly or Dr. Horrible, are songs. Here are 15 of the greatest musical moments with the Whedon name attached to it.
