That Westworld Season 4 scene is hardly the first time that Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' has been used in a semi-ironic context.
Editor's note: The below article contains spoilers for Westworld Season 4.Westworld is one of the most aesthetically gripping television shows that’s currently airing. Even when the story gets confusing, and it’s unclear how much showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy actually have planned out ahead of time, there simply isn’t anything that compares to Westworld’s craftsmanship. One of the show’s hallmarks is its classic song covers.
Season 4 has had some memorable needle drops so far, but Westworld fans have been anticipating the use of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day,” which was teased in the official trailer. In the fifth episode, “Zhuangzi,” Charlotte Hale confers with William over an ongoing problem within her operation. In a reverse-Blade Runner situation, Hale has been sending her hosts to kill the humans that are beginning to “question the nature of their reality.
The deeper connotation of the song has made it a favorite for showrunners that want to foreshadow something dark. “Perfect Day” appears on the soundtrack of recent shows like Fear the Walking Dead, Doom Patrol, Gotham, Brave New World, and even the trailer for Pablo Larrain’s masterpiece Spencer. There’s nothing wrong with the way the song is used in these contexts; they are setting up a “perfect day” that clearly won’t last.
