If you haven't watched Netflix's new series Sex Education [1] yet, then you're not only missing out on a hilariously awkward comedy [2], you're also missing out on its insanely catchy soundtrack. In Sex Education — starring Gillian Anderson [3] and Asa Butterfield — an inexperienced high school student, who ironically has plenty of sexual knowledge thanks to his sex therapist mother, decides to team up with a bad girl and open an underground sex therapy clinic at school. The soundtrack combines the best of the '80s and '90s — including music from A-ha, the Violent Femmes, and Billy Idol — with jams from songwriter Ezra Furman, who teamed up with the Sex Education creators [4] to make the soundtrack. The result is basically magic. Take a listen to see for yourself.
