The music for Oz’s band Dingoes Ate My Baby was provided by real-life band Four Star Mary. James Marsters has performed with them on stage (off screen) a few times. The band themselves appeared in the season four finale Restless, as the band who play with Giles during the Exposition Song.
Four Star Mary songs can be heard in the following Buffy episodes:
- Inca Mummy Girl - The songs ‘Shadows’ and ‘Fate’ at the Cultural party in The Bronze.
- Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered - ‘Pain’ is heard in The Bronze.
- Dead Man’s Party - The Dingoes mime to ‘Pain’, ‘Nevermind’ and ‘Sway’ at Buffy’s party.
- Homecoming - we hear the song ‘She Knows’ at the Homecoming Dance - it’s the song Oz wrote for Willow.
- Living Conditions - ‘Pain is heard when Buffy and Willow move into their dorm room.
- Band Candy - the Dingoes mime onstage at The Bronze to ‘Violent’, when the adults are acting weirdly.
- Revelations - Dingoes Ate My Baby perform ‘Run’ in The Bronze at the start of the episode.
- The Harsh Light of Day - ‘Dilate’ is played at the Bronze at the start of the episode.
- The Initiative - Riley gets the song ‘Fate’ turned off at the party as it upsets Willow.

FSM also appeared (in a non-music sense though) in Charmed Season 2 episode 16 (Murphy’s Luck), as the band that’s photographed in the first minute.
