| Place: | 2009 Western Ohio Sectional Championship |
| Episode: | Sectionals |
You Can't Always Get What You Want by The Rolling Stones is featured in Sectionals, the thirteenth episode of Season One. It is sung by the New Directions, with solos from Artie, Finn, Mercedes and Rachel.
Sue gave the New Directions' setlist to the other groups at Sectionals, the Haverbrook School for the Deaf and Jane Addams Academy, so they had to improvise. Finn, who had quit the New Directions, brought in the music for this song when he came back to be a leader when he was needed. Will inspired Finn to pick this song when he said, "You can't always get what you want," which in turn got Finn to join New Directions again.
Brittany, Matt, Mike and Santana put together the choreography just in time for Sectionals, winning the trophy in the end to continue onto Regionals. This song was the final song in their Sectionals setlist, the first being Rachel's solo, Don't Rain on My Parade.
Glee choreographer Zach Woodlee actually had actors Dijon Talton, Harry Shum Jr., Heather Morris and Naya Rivera choreograph this song.
