Which musician recorded “Teardrop,” the theme associated with House M.D.?

The story behind the answer

Massive Attack recorded “Teardrop,” the song associated with House M.D.’s opening sequence.

“Teardrop” was released by the English trip-hop group Massive Attack in 1998. Its distinctive arrangement and Elizabeth Fraser’s vocals made it recognizable to many viewers when it accompanied the show’s opening credits.

The song appears in the opening titles of many broadcasts, although regional versions and some episodes used different music or arrangements. That variation is why viewers may remember another version of the theme.

“Teardrop” is sometimes attributed to Fraser because she sings the track, but the recording artist credited for the song is Massive Attack. Fraser was a guest vocalist, not the name of the performing group.
