"Music has always been a key part of Mad Men, and with Season Four jumping to 1964 &amp;#x2014; a watershed year for rock and Motown &amp;#x2014; Rolling Stone compiled a playlist of songs that could easily soundtrack Don Draper&amp;apos;s dramas. Read Rob Sheffield&amp;apos;s take on the new season while kicking back to these tracks:\r\n&amp;quot;It Ain&amp;apos;t Me Babe&amp;quot; &amp;#x2014; Bob Dylan  On the Another Side of Bob Dylan closer, the singer spurns a lover looking for more than a quick fling. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m not the one you want, babe/I will only let you down,&amp;quot; Dylan sings, a line tailor-made for the philandering Don Draper. The perfect soundtrack for: Don and Betty&amp;apos;s first post-divorce tryst.\r\n&amp;quot;I Saw Her Standing There&amp;quot; &amp;#x2014; The Beatles  A song about a not-quite-legal love interest &amp;#x2014; &amp;quot;She was just 17, you know what I mean,&amp;quot; sings McCartney &amp;#x2014; to which the cradle-robbing Roger Sterling could surely relate. The perfect soundtrack for: An awkward scene where Roger tries to integrate Jane, his preposterously young wife, into the rigid hierarchies of Manhattan social life.\r\n&amp;quot;You Really Got Me&amp;quot; &amp;#x2014; The Kinks  Louder and brasher than anything yet written by the Beatles or the Stones, &amp;quot;You Really Got Me&amp;quot; was a herald of hard rock to come. It&amp;apos;s also the quintessential anthem of lust at first sight, something the ad men at Don&amp;apos;s agency are not strangers to. The perfect soundtrack for: Any scene where Joan turns every head in the office. In slo-mo.\r\n&amp;quot;I Get Around&amp;quot; &amp;#x2014; The Beach Boys  A thinly disguised ode to the joys of promiscuity, &amp;quot;I Get Around&amp;quot; finds the Beach Boys bragging, &amp;quot;We always take my car &amp;apos;cause it&amp;apos;s never been beat/and we&amp;apos;ve never missed yet with the girls we meet.&amp;quot; The song is also a wake-up call for anyone who thinks the sexual revolution didn&amp;apos;t get its proper start until later in the decade &amp;#x2014; just like Mad Men. The perfect soundtrack for: A feminine role reversal. Think Peggy in a dancehall, seducing a cute stranger.\r\n&amp;quot;A Change Is Gonna Come&amp;quot; &amp;#x2014; Sam Cooke  An oft-covered, indisputably brilliant, righteously soulful recording, &amp;quot;A Change is Gonna Come&amp;quot; was released after Cooke&amp;apos;s death and became an anthem of the Civil Rights movement, which is a frequent subtext and topic of conversation on the show. The perfect soundtrack for: A montage of cardigan-clad progressive Paul Kinsey, sulking after being passed over by Don at the new agency in favor of Peggy, before deciding to leave office life behind and become a full-time activist.\r\n&amp;quot;Where Did Our Love Go&amp;quot; &amp;#x2014; The Supremes  The Supremes had a big year in 1964, taking over the world with a combination of stellar songwriting, killer fashion sense, and, of course, Diana Ross&amp;apos; legendary pipes. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve got this yearning, burning/Yearning feelin&amp;apos; inside me&amp;#x2026; And it hurts so bad,&amp;quot; Ross sings, a sentiment that captures Sal&amp;apos;s identity crisis in Season Three. The perfect soundtrack for: Sal&amp;apos;s surprise comeback! (Fingers crossed.)\r\n&amp;quot;House of the Rising Sun&amp;quot; &amp;#x2014; The Animals  &amp;quot;House of the Rising Sun&amp;quot; was a folk standard until the Animals added a haunting guitar lick, ecstatic organ line and propulsive drumbeat. A tale of a man who wastes away his life in a house of ill repute, the song encapsulates Don&amp;apos;s personal troubles navigating single life. The perfect soundtrack for: A scene of Don in his bachelor pad, Canadian Club in hand, after failing to romance a young woman from the escort service he uses.\r\n&amp;quot;Oh, Pretty Woman&amp;quot; &amp;#x2014; Roy Orbison  If you think this song is a joke, there are two things you should do: blame Julia Roberts, and listen again. Orbison neatly integrates a clean, catchy guitar lick with a deep, soothing vocal line that stays true to his country roots. Ogling has never been so classy. The perfect soundtrack for: Yet another burlesque show schmoozefest led by the indefatigably horny Pete Campbell.\r\n&amp;quot;Keep On Pushing&amp;quot; &amp;#x2014; The Impressions  This never-say-die ballad by Curtis Mayfield&amp;apos;s first band is dedicated to hustlers and underdogs, which Don and his cohorts can firmly count themselves among after jumping from a major agency to an upstart. The perfect soundtrack for: the scene where Don lands his first major account with another masterful sermon on the art of advertising.\r\n&amp;quot;Heart of Stone&amp;quot; &amp;#x2014; The Rolling Stones  Narrated by a modern-day Don Juan who can&amp;apos;t find love, &amp;quot;Heart of Stone&amp;quot; was one of the first Jagger and Richards-penned singles released by the Stones. &amp;quot;There&amp;apos;ve been so many girls that I&amp;apos;ve known/I&amp;apos;ve made so many cry and still I wonder why,&amp;quot; Jagger croons, a line that hints at the mysterious Mr. Draper&amp;apos;s undeniable charisma and tortured past. The perfect soundtrack for: A shot of Don, in a gray flannel suit, striding dismissively past the hippies and beatniks of Greenwich Village, his new home."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
