"World's Worst Beach Party" is an orchestral piece on the Season 1 soundtrack. This entirely percussive motif plays in various permutations, mainly in the first season.

Main appearanceEdit

Jack has been looking at the wreckage after the crash. He recruits a couple survivors, including John Locke to help him lift some wreckage off a passenger. He rips open the passenger's pants, revealing a severely crushed leg, and uses his own tie as a tourniquet to stem the bleeding.

He hears more screaming. He tells his helpers to take the injured man away from the engine and runs to the screaming woman, who's pregnant. He asks about her pregnancy and shields her with his body when the engine sucks in a passenger and explodes. He notices someone else who needs help, so he tells another passenger to lead the woman to safety.

Jack tells a man he has been incorrectly performing CPR on an unconscious woman. He disposes of the man with a supposed errand then successfully resuscitates the woman himself. Then he has to quickly move her - the plane's wing is about to fall on them.

Title significanceEdit

This music plays while Oceanic 815 survivors are among the wreckage of the plane on the beach, everyone is panicking, and a man even gets sucked into a still functioning jet turbine. These conditions are less than ideal for a beach party. In fact, it is probably the World's Worst Beach Party.
