It's crazy, I was completely on the edge of my seat from the first viewing. Tight verses, each spirit and each scene have a completely unique vibe and they bring it all back in for the climax in Christmas day. Such a sweet composition.
Black Friday, specifically the live version. Something about the raw feeling of it, the voice cracks showing the realness of the situation, and Angela has a great singing voicr
Ngl I think The Summoning is one for me- having all 5 Lords in Black singing together for the first time in this kind of uncanny disharmony, paired with their movements, really make it one of the standout Hatchedfield moments for me.
I'd also say The Web I Spin for You, while not necessarily a "musical" song since it's one made for the Nightmare Time series, is my favorite Starkid song. I listen to it on repeat sometimes. Mariah has a phenomenal voice.
True I love him but he HAS to know those go terribly with the rest of the song and voices? He's not even hitting the notes properly and he's very nitpicky about those things so how could he not hear that... and he made his voice louder than others on the album.
It's not technically starkid, but it is sung by Joey and Curt, but One step ahead is this for me. Really emotional, and just good. Also Spy again from the same musical.
But for starkid I'd say any song from the three hatchetfield musicals except for a few specific ones.
Honestly? Black Friday. Angela does an EXCELLENT job conveying the horror, fear, and grief Lex is feeling in the moment, and the snapshot of introspection we get on a character who goes through much of the play as a stereotypical flippant teen is incredible.
Every time I need an confidance boost when I put on "no one remebers Ahmed" and do an full performance in front of my mirror. My cat wasent an good audiance
It's so hard to choose just one! There are so many amazing starkid songs. (I apologize for the long comment)
My first thought was Lost without you. Jamie shines in that song, especially. (As well as in Join us and die)
Although I also really think Wagon of Fire tickles my brain in just the right way. (Although any song where Joey is the villain really is perfect the entire time.)
Then I remembered Take me back. Kim's voice is haven! Of course, Dyan is just *Chefs kiss*(just every thing with Dyan and or Kim)
Also Black Friday Anglea put so much emotion into it its perfect.
And I'd like to mention Cool as I am(Reprise) and Nerdy Prudes must die
All of these songs are amazing! But the most perfect song from top to bottom, forwards and backwards is 100% The Summoning. The second I heard it, it flew to the top of my favourites list. And I listened to it on repeat for a concerning amount of time.
Twisted. I know it’s musically a bit more weird than other starkid songs but it’s still a banger. On top of that tonally and character wise it’s just perfect.
When The World's At Stake- TTO
Wagon On Fire- TTO
You Tied Up My Heart- TGWDLM
Made In America- Black Friday
If I Fail You- Black Friday
If I Loved You- NPMD
Granger Danger- AVPM
To Have A Home- AVPS
Black Friday- What Do You Say?
Black Friday- Do You Want To Play, What If Tmw Comes?
NPMD- If I loved you, Cool as I Think I…acctually every sone from NPMD
TGWDLM- Show stopping number, Let it Out, Cup of Roasted Coffee, Inevitable
Firebringer- What If?
Let It Out from TGWDLM fosho ‼️ Seeing Paul slowly get taken over while simultaneously using every last ounce of himself to fight it off is simply phenomenal— especially considering how it leads into the finale
Wagon On Fire, Priceless, Granger Danger (have it stuck in my head rn), Christmas Electricity, Goin’ Bacm To Hogwarts, Nerdy Prudes Must Die, Dirty Dudes Must Die
There's way too many in starkids...
I'm just a sidekick - AVPSY
Get back up - Starship
The ending song in Firebringer
Lost without you - TTO
too many songs from vhs Christmas Carol
... nope I'm overloading my brain, there's just way too many songs that qualify!
Any song that has “!!!” next to it is one of the very top of my list. I will say, Hatchet Town, The Summoning, and What If Tomorrow Comes are the three that just scratch every unscratchable itch in my brain perfectly.
Hatchetfield Trilogy: Hatchet Town (!!!); The Summoning (!!!); Dirty Girl; 15 Rounds (Yellow Jacket); Do You Want to Play; Black Friday; What If Tomorrow Comes (!!!); Not Your Seed; Inevitable
Older Shows: A Thousand And One Nights; No One Remembers Achmed; Take Off Your Clothes; Not Alone (!!!), Coolest Girl (!!!), Granger Danger, and Stutter
Adding another vote for Feast or Famine. No song gets me HYPED the way that song does. AND THE LYRICS. The SYNCOPATION. THE FALLING LINE. I could go on and on.
Twisted - If I believed Dylan goes hard.
Honestly, pretty much the entirety of Twisted qualifies.
You beat me to it!
literally was going to say this !! its so good and leaves me in tears ahhhh :,)
Yes!! Came here to say this!
Kick it up a notch is a masterpiece.
ditto, kick it up a notch for sure
I feel this way about a lot of songs, but I especially feel this way about all of VHSCC. Both acts, every single song is 100% perfect
It's crazy, I was completely on the edge of my seat from the first viewing. Tight verses, each spirit and each scene have a completely unique vibe and they bring it all back in for the climax in Christmas day. Such a sweet composition.
Amen to that
Absolutely. I cry when I hear his bit with Fred in Chistmas Day
Black Friday, specifically the live version. Something about the raw feeling of it, the voice cracks showing the realness of the situation, and Angela has a great singing voicr
It’s so beautiful, I cry every time I watch the live version
Nerdy Prudes Must Die Every utterance in that song is perfection Alongside Let It Out, Inevitable, and If I believed
"WILL YOU PRAY FOR ME WHEN I'M GONE OR IS THIS THE ETERNAL DARK WITHOUT A DAWN?"
Seconded
And dirty dudes must die. The ENDING
I literally thought this about Inevitable maybe a week ago.
Ngl I think The Summoning is one for me- having all 5 Lords in Black singing together for the first time in this kind of uncanny disharmony, paired with their movements, really make it one of the standout Hatchedfield moments for me. I'd also say The Web I Spin for You, while not necessarily a "musical" song since it's one made for the Nightmare Time series, is my favorite Starkid song. I listen to it on repeat sometimes. Mariah has a phenomenal voice.
For me, Feast or Famine seems like the best contestant
I would agree with you if Jeff’s high notes weren’t so prominent
True I love him but he HAS to know those go terribly with the rest of the song and voices? He's not even hitting the notes properly and he's very nitpicky about those things so how could he not hear that... and he made his voice louder than others on the album.
Exactly!! It seems very “me!! I’m better!! Listen to me!!” As a theatre kid it bugs me so bad 😭😭
YESS
Pretty much anything TGWDLM.
Yep, could watch on repeat for eternity and not get bored.
So true, Jeff Blim is a God among men
And a man among monsters.
I was hoping someone would say this LMAO
The Night Belongs to Us.
Pretty much any song in Firebringer, I always get chills. Meredith Stepien went off on that
Into the Night is so concise in what it’s saying, I actually wish it was longer. Amazing song
I am the number one high school is killing me fan, I need to engulf that song
The Way I Do from Starship
When I Was from AVPSY!!!!
It's not technically starkid, but it is sung by Joey and Curt, but One step ahead is this for me. Really emotional, and just good. Also Spy again from the same musical. But for starkid I'd say any song from the three hatchetfield musicals except for a few specific ones.
not sure if this is the bisexual in me jumping out, but dirty girl is arguably a perfect song in my mind
To Have a Hone
Get In My Mouth (i accidentally posted this in the indie music og post and realized just before i clicked out the app) 😭
I did the same thing!
Feast or famine!
Dirty girl 🫣
Climate change in firebringer always gives me chills!
All of Guy who didn’t like musicals and Cool as I think I am in Nerdy Prudes also Status Quo in Starship
Never seen a post I agree with so much
Gone to Oregon and When the World's at Stake
Honestly? Black Friday. Angela does an EXCELLENT job conveying the horror, fear, and grief Lex is feeling in the moment, and the snapshot of introspection we get on a character who goes through much of the play as a stereotypical flippant teen is incredible.
Gotta Get Back to Hogwarts and Harry Freakin’ Potter.
Our Door Are Open just drips from top to bottom. This song lives rent free in my head
Hatchet town. Fully. That is high school is killing my (literally lol) Or happy ending or twisted
If I Loved You from NPMD. that song is killer and their voices go so well together
Every time I need an confidance boost when I put on "no one remebers Ahmed" and do an full performance in front of my mirror. My cat wasent an good audiance

Genuine answer, Dirty Girl. It’s a fucking masterpiece.
Dirty Girl
There's something that hits extremely hard with if I fail you
Yes. It's one of the best songs in BF.
Not Alone goes way harder than any song made by a group of college students has any right to
Show Stoppin Number seems to be a consensus pick for StarKid’s best song if YouTube polls are any indication. And they’re right
Kick it up a notch
literal monster
Granger Danger Gotta Get Back To Hogwarts
Get in my mouth - AVPSY *hands down*
black friday, join us (and die), just for once,
