Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story, like most of his projects, tend to be a bit hit and miss. But when he hits, he's producing television that you've never seen before. In this season's American Horror Story: Freak Show (about a traveling oddity troupe that runs up against some seriously evil shit in a Florida small town), Murphy continues to play with the concept of time by infusing his 1950s period piece with music from the modern era. Here's a great example from this week's episode in which conjoined twins Bette and Dot (both played by Sarah Paulson) cover Fiona Apple's classic, "Criminal." (As it turns out, Bette and Dot actually are criminals on the lam, having murdered their mother. Oh, Ryan Murphy, you naughty, naughty bird!)
