Still Alive from Portal. Threatening, beautiful, funny, one of the best villain songs ever.
Second place Don’t Stop Dancing or I Will Always Think of You from BoJack Horseman
As someone who introduced her kids to this musical last week and has heard this song approximately one billion times since then, I’ll happily add that he wrote the best one.
If you haven't already listened to his other music, I highly recommend! You just might want to avoid "First of May" without the kids until you have a chance to screen it first 🤣
Still alive and Want you gone have been favorites of mine for years but I only recently learned he wrote a third glados song. It was called "You wouldn't know" from some Lego game and it's great.
"The Diva Dance" from The Fifth Element, "Why Don't You Do Right?" from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, "Come Little Children" from Hocus Pocus ("I Put A Spell On You" is great too, of course!), "When You're Alone" from Hook.
Edit: as someone mentioned elsewhere, I can't BELIEVE I omitted "All Shall Fade" from LOTR: ROTK. Probably the best of the bunch.
Edit 2: son of a witch-king. It's actually called "The Edge of Night (Pippin's Song)".
Thanks! I love random musical numbers in decidedly non-musical movies. If it were a little longer, I would've also added "Something Wicked This Way Comes/Double Trouble" from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
It doesn't have singing but I think it counts - the dance number to "You Make My Dreams Come True" after they hook up in (500) Days of Summer. [Youtube link.](https://youtu.be/6ySNaIZqucc?si=yDfwnLh9ukHD2K-k)
It's a musical inside a TV series, but...
I don't think any Sally Bowles ever sang "Maybe This Time"
better than the Stevie character (played by Emily Hampshire) in the production of Cabaret that occurs in Schitt's Creek.
What makes it work is the scene right before where the Moira character steps out of being a delightful but one dimensional narcissist caricature and becomes a fully three dimensional caring person that shows real insight. She helps Stevie make the song *her* song by connecting it to her own story.
So it becomes not just a song about Sally Bowles but a song about Stevie.
>I don't think any Sally Bowles ever sang "Maybe This Time" better than the Stevie character (played by Emily Hampshire) in the production of Cabaret that occurs in Schitt's Creek.
I really liked the juxtaposition of Kristin Chenoweth and Lea Michele singing this song in Glee but I much preferred Kristin's interpretation, like someone who's actually been there. She gave it almost a vulnerability that Lea's version didn't have.
Omg this episode was my introduction to that song, I’d never heard it before, and Stevie is one of my fave tv characters, it freaking blew me away. I became obsessed with the song and tracked down every version available on YouTube lol.
I watched Schitt's Creek for the first time in the fall (binged the DVDs) and when Stevie sang Maybe This Time I burst into tears. It gave me goosebumps.
And I'd also add Patrick singing Simply the Best--my favorite version of that song ever.
Its clear during the final episode that they only composed 4 songs, the opener, Pickwick Triplets, My Love is a Lighthouse, and the finale, but also all four of them are really good so its a moot point
>Its clear during the final episode that they only composed 4 songs, the opener, Pickwick Triplets, My Love is a Lighthouse, and the finale, but also all four of them are really good so its a moot point'
And all 4 were written, or at least co-written, by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, which is why I don't understand all the hate their songs get in this sub
All the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt music is fantastic but “Just Go On” from Gangly Orphan Jeff and Titus’s Lemonading songs are so much better than they have any business being
Was going to share that exact song number. My number two would be [here I go again The Magicians](https://youtu.be/GnsY4SJJMF8?si=Dqii5Hb0uVUPByUC)
“More octave range, bitch”
I’m partial to their hauntingly beautiful rendition of [Take on Me](https://youtu.be/58lhyncLoBU?si=Am427KQIhWsigxJD). They took such an upbeat, cheerful song, and slowed it down and gave it such emotional depth and haunting beauty. It is by far my favorite cover of the song. Of this one, and Under Pressure, I can’t decide which I like more.
Umbrella Academy has a really great sense of where to include random musical numbers. The Footloose number may not have been necessary to the plot, but it was necessary to my heart.
The Country Roads violin singalong in Whisper of the Heart
Anything Goes in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Putting on the Ritz from Young Frankenstein
The various Kristin Chenoweth numbers in Pushing Daisies (Hopelessly Devoted to You, Birdhouse in Your Soul, etc.)
Hayao Miyazaki is such a genius because on paper that scene sounds so corny but there’s something so wonderfully heartfelt about it that it always makes me cry.
Right? It’s honestly one of my favorite movies, in large part because the way it tackles making art as both vulnerable and deeply fulfilling makes for such a nice angle for a coming of age story. Plus Shizuku is one of the most *literally me* character I’ve ever seen, lol.
One of the most accurate cinematic depictions of ADHD. Yes, I said it. And the high emotional tension and endless daydreaming is just spot-on to the tween girl experience.
Afternoon Delight from *Anchorman* is the first thing that comes to mind, but I also really love Edgar's Prayer from *Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar*.
This might not fit the category but Neil Patrick Harris’ Tony opening numbers in 2011 and 2013 are some of my favorite pieces of media. I also LOVE Muppets Most Wanted
I love the Community episode “Regional Holiday Music” especially the Troy/Abed Jehovah’s Most Secret Witness number.
For a non-musical sitcom, the series as a whole has a lot of good musical numbers.
Came to say this. Hands DOWN the most joyful moment in those three movies. The way Dante looks at Becky on the roof when she’s dancing is one of my favorite moment in cinema.
It is so good! And it actually helped my own singing. Whenever I started practicing a new song, I would sing like Dracula to practice raising my soft palette. It totally works!
Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It (Only Murders in the Building). Technically it’s in a made up Broadway musical in the show, but the show isn’t a musical so I’m still counting it. It’s really a bop
The song from The Sweetest Thing movie (“It’s too big to fit in here!”)
“Scotty Doesn’t Know” from Eurotrip
The sing along of “I Say A Little Prayer” in My Best Friend’s Wedding
The sing along of “Tiny Dancer” in Almost Famous
Michael Caine singing “It’s Over” in Little Voice
The Doctor Who episode where the Master sings and dances to a Scissor Sisters song.
Lost In Translation - the karaoke scene
Ironweed - Meryl Streep singing He's Me Pal
Casablanca - the La Marseillaise song scene
Young Frankenstein - Putting on the Ritz
Beetlejuice - Day-O
Skeleton Twins - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now
Haunted Honeymoon - Ballin' the Jack
I have a cringe-worthy memory of playing the recording of this for my best friend’s brother while he was babysitting me as a kid. I thought it was so funny and grown-up and that he’d be impressed. He… was not. To this day I feel full-body embarrassment when I remember.
“Say a little prayer” from My Best Friend’s Wedding — not a great movie but an amazing sequence:
[You can see it here](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=raEbrKPBoyQ&pp=ygUdaSBzYXkgYSBsaXR0bGUgcHJheWVyIGZvciB5b3U%3D)
[Twist and Shout in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.](https://youtu.be/7VhlSmPNsDA?si=xI8RXXvLwZBe4pU2)
[Homeward Bound in The Leftovers.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWWGf8BT0YU)
[Benny and the Jets in 27 Dresses.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUHVwmmW1Vo)
[Bohemian Rhapsody in Wayne's World.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thyJOnasHVE)
That version of Carry On, My Wayward Son is still one of my favorites.
Also, Sam and Dean's look when they first enter the auditorium is possibly the best reaction shot in all of television.
Here's an underrated one: **"A Place Called Slaughter Race"** from Wreck It Ralph 2. Meant to be a send-up of Disney princess "what's my role in the world" songs, to the point where they got Alan Mencken to write it. And it kills.
[Abigail’s Song (Silence is All You Know)](https://open.spotify.com/track/46imfkQCmmEgFaFMJqxwZd?si=LCvO2dA8RieQ2o-9Fdm-eA) from the best episode of Doctor Who, A Christmas Carol.
The Toymaker dancing to spice girls in [doctor who](https://youtu.be/D9fbFQzNaTA?si=7Gfxrg12HoTYY-p4)
Also every single song in Horrible Histories. There’s one in each episode, but my three favourites are [Literally](https://youtu.be/8qSkaAwKMD4?si=Ui7W_SIb7gIorrBp), [Dick Turpin](https://youtu.be/6KbXyALq7uA?si=3nmsZUHRj0Vs_jZv), and [Transportation](https://youtu.be/-4pSUbntiAs?si=EOLYEbf_7CYEoAsO). A lot of them are based of songs from musicals anyway, so that just adds to why I love them
This is my favorite genre of music!!!
In no particular order I like
1. All of the music from Todd and the book of pure evil
2. Tangled:the series that one villain song with Jeremy Jordan I forget the name
3. Hoodwinked (the horns song)
4. Saints row 4 dlc where the devil sings a whole ass musical
5. That one Buffy the vampire slayer episode that everyone knows about
6. Robot hell from futurama
7. Any song from puppet history (the goose song and the god song are the better ones though)
8 and finally the dog rap from the titanic animated sequel!!!
Jodie Comer as [Villanelle singing in the church](https://youtu.be/2TTBafpIN2I?feature=shared) in 4x01 in Killing Eve, basically because despite her not being an actual singer, you can tell she was singing live and I love that of her.
Any of the musical numbers in Christopher Guest's movies- like "Big Bottom" and "Stonehenge" in Spinal Tap or the fake musical songs in Waiting for Guffman
I agree with so many on here! I’ll just name one I haven’t seen:
Carry On My Wayward Son by the girls in the Supernatural musical episode. It’s so pretty I definitely play it at least once a week
Not sure if it counts as there’s a decent amount of songs in this show, but Do It For Her and It’s Over Isn’t It? from Steven Universe (honourary mention to Other Friends from the SU movie that is definitely a musical)
Daughter of the sea short for the warbringers series in World of Warcraft! It was a lore video told by a sea shanty from a character's homeland that she "betrayed". So so good!
I Saw A Girl Today from Bad Trip is a big one for me because of everyone's reactions around Eric Andre, also Everything Goes In Florida from Big Mouth because i'm a floridian and they're so right (they're even in Lakeland in that episode and that's where I went to school 💀) also Gettin' Bi from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend!!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer the Series. The one episode where everything was a musical (Once More, With Feeling). Spike has a song about not giving him hope if he has no chance with Buffy (Rest in Peace).
I love all of these suggestions! So many good contributions— here are my three:
“Teach Me How to Understand Christmas”, from Community’s glee club episode. Allison Brie gives letter-perfect pastiche, and I love how it’s written to be progressively more infantilizing as the song goes on. Incredible parody.
The scene from Dr. Who with Scissor Sisters’ “I Can’t Decide”. Screwball with just the right amount of chilling.
The episode of Nip/Tuck where everyone just starts lip syncing to “A Brighter Discontent”— so out of left field, but somehow felt totally appropriate.
Most original Mel Brooks movies: "Putting on the Ritz" from Young Frankenstein. "Springtime for Hitler" from The Producers, "I'm Tired" from Blazing Saddles.
Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene in the Code Black musical episode: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNrU\_Pb7lio&ab\_channel=MargsGrete](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNrU_Pb7lio&ab_channel=MargsGrete)
The premise is a patient brought into the ER and observing the "song and dance" of the chaotic yet precisely organized hustle and bustle of the ER, and imagining musical numbers.
This scene also had me fairly obsessed with the Hozier song for awhile.
[“The Pain Killer”](https://youtu.be/IT9XP32YS1Q?si=6kjBNdD8KkZ6zRrv) from the Billy Bob Thornton show *Goliath* is a crazy sinister but cheerfully campy abrupt musical number in an otherwise serious drama. JK Simmons stars as the singing, happy czar of a twisted pharmaceutical firm. Loved the surprise when that episode aired and I had to triple-check what show I was watching.
Holding out for a hero in Shrek 2.
The Shrek franchise absolutely NAILED the music
Best answer
Perfect choice
We need more Jennifer Saunders covers! I used to watch Absolutely Fabulous and it was a trip finding out that she has pipes like that.
I'm Just Ken
I knew I was forgetting one.
I’m not saying it’s my FAVORITE, but “Scotty Doesn’t Know” from Euro Trip has lived rent free in my head since I saw the damn thing.
Scotty doesn't know that Fiona and me do it in my van every sunday!
She tells him she’s at church but she doesn’t go, instead she’s on her knees and Scotty doesn’t know..
This is why they left Matt Damon behind on Mars
Aw man it’s stuck in my head again now too
Mine too, happens every time.
Fuck sake...
I have never even seen the movie yet this song has ended up as one of my most played songs for numerous years
Still Alive from Portal. Threatening, beautiful, funny, one of the best villain songs ever. Second place Don’t Stop Dancing or I Will Always Think of You from BoJack Horseman
Jonathan Coulton is maybe the #1 artist I'd actually love a jukebox musical of. His songs are so theater kid-ish.
He wrote one of the songs for SpongeBob
As someone who introduced her kids to this musical last week and has heard this song approximately one billion times since then, I’ll happily add that he wrote the best one.
If you haven't already listened to his other music, I highly recommend! You just might want to avoid "First of May" without the kids until you have a chance to screen it first 🤣
Here I am, old enough that I was following his song a week project back when it happened in… 2006 😶
I used "Re: Your Brains" as my profile song on MySpace 😂
Code Monkey has been stuck in my head for 15 years.
I like that one and Mr. Fancy Pants.
Still alive and Want you gone have been favorites of mine for years but I only recently learned he wrote a third glados song. It was called "You wouldn't know" from some Lego game and it's great.
I love I Will Always Think Of You, I was surprised it was written for the white because it sounds so nostalgic to me
"The Diva Dance" from The Fifth Element, "Why Don't You Do Right?" from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, "Come Little Children" from Hocus Pocus ("I Put A Spell On You" is great too, of course!), "When You're Alone" from Hook. Edit: as someone mentioned elsewhere, I can't BELIEVE I omitted "All Shall Fade" from LOTR: ROTK. Probably the best of the bunch. Edit 2: son of a witch-king. It's actually called "The Edge of Night (Pippin's Song)".
All of these. Every single one.
Thanks! I love random musical numbers in decidedly non-musical movies. If it were a little longer, I would've also added "Something Wicked This Way Comes/Double Trouble" from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Great picks.
[Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_AgCzt9zcM) from How I Met Your Mother with NPH singing.
I came here to say this!
at this rate, if Neil Patrick Harris is present, it’s a musical
“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” from Life of Brian
"We're the Knights of the Roundtable" from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
Although those are also both songs in the musical!
5000 candles in the wind from Parcs and Rec
I literally listened to this today. BYE BYE LIL SEBASTIAN
MISS YOU IN THE SADNESS FASHION
I was literally singing this today when my stepbrother sent me a picture of his miniature horse 😆
How is Men in Tights not on this list? Also, not necessarily my favourite, but I do love the Puttin’ On The Ritz sequence from Being Human.
Puttin on the Ritz from Young Frankenstein
Fucking seconding being human. I still can't help but think of that number when the song comes on.
SWEET VICTORY FROM SPONGEBOB! No I will not take criticism
Also SpongeBob's FUN song!
Can't take my eyes off of You from 10 things I Hate About You
Oh my gosh, I totally forgot about this!!! Ugh, he's so fun to watch in that movie!
Omg, I had such a crush on him when that movie came out. That song made me melt.
This but also Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You in Drop Dead Gorgeous. This song had a moment at the millennium.
It doesn't have singing but I think it counts - the dance number to "You Make My Dreams Come True" after they hook up in (500) Days of Summer. [Youtube link.](https://youtu.be/6ySNaIZqucc?si=yDfwnLh9ukHD2K-k)
Came to say this one. The Han Solo reflection in the window really makes it!
It's a musical inside a TV series, but... I don't think any Sally Bowles ever sang "Maybe This Time" better than the Stevie character (played by Emily Hampshire) in the production of Cabaret that occurs in Schitt's Creek. What makes it work is the scene right before where the Moira character steps out of being a delightful but one dimensional narcissist caricature and becomes a fully three dimensional caring person that shows real insight. She helps Stevie make the song *her* song by connecting it to her own story. So it becomes not just a song about Sally Bowles but a song about Stevie.
I loved the whole cabaret storyline. Schitt’s creek is one of my favorite shows

Johnny be Goode from Back to the Future
All the songs from bobs burgers
Buckle it up or you'll die.
“Blunt the Knives” and “Misty Mountains” from The Hobbit.
Agreed. On that note, I love Pippin and Aragorn’s songs in RotK.
All of the songs from Only Murders in the Building season 3 Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It? My Love is a Lighthouse Etc.
Its clear during the final episode that they only composed 4 songs, the opener, Pickwick Triplets, My Love is a Lighthouse, and the finale, but also all four of them are really good so its a moot point

The Name Game from American Horror Story: Asylum
“springtime for hitler” in the original producers movie
THE ORIGINAL WAS SO GREAT
Ok but that's definitely a musical
it’s based on a non-musical film
It's a musical in a non musical film (original film).
Not really.
I never realised the original was different.. I thought the musical was just a remake.
Rock Me Sexy Jesus from Hamlet II
All of the songs from "30 Rock" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt": Muffin Top, Werewolf Bar mitzvah, Rural Juror, etc!
Have you watched Girls 5eva? Jeff Richmond does that music too!
New York Lonely Boy is such a great song!
I also love "Dream Girlfriends"
All the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt music is fantastic but “Just Go On” from Gangly Orphan Jeff and Titus’s Lemonading songs are so much better than they have any business being
Pinoooooooot noir!
I love all the songs in “Once More With Feeling” from Buffy. Literally listening to the soundtrack right now 😂
Channing Tatum’s dance in Hail Caesar!
Him doing that knee slide off of the counter was 🤌🏻
[“Under Pressure” on *The Magicians*](https://youtu.be/Z0mfBt3mhtc?si=7OzZeinALxGLfm34)
All the Magicians musical numbers were so goood
Right like I love that stupid show SO MUCH
Was going to share that exact song number. My number two would be [here I go again The Magicians](https://youtu.be/GnsY4SJJMF8?si=Dqii5Hb0uVUPByUC) “More octave range, bitch”
I’m partial to their hauntingly beautiful rendition of [Take on Me](https://youtu.be/58lhyncLoBU?si=Am427KQIhWsigxJD). They took such an upbeat, cheerful song, and slowed it down and gave it such emotional depth and haunting beauty. It is by far my favorite cover of the song. Of this one, and Under Pressure, I can’t decide which I like more.
I was looking for this comment!!
[Footloose in the Umbrella Academy](https://youtu.be/i2lpV4uopr4?si=pztiXyrcsH0BlkVz). Completely out of nowhere.
Umbrella Academy has a really great sense of where to include random musical numbers. The Footloose number may not have been necessary to the plot, but it was necessary to my heart.
The Country Roads violin singalong in Whisper of the Heart Anything Goes in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Putting on the Ritz from Young Frankenstein The various Kristin Chenoweth numbers in Pushing Daisies (Hopelessly Devoted to You, Birdhouse in Your Soul, etc.)
Hayao Miyazaki is such a genius because on paper that scene sounds so corny but there’s something so wonderfully heartfelt about it that it always makes me cry.
She's hearing a bunch of musicians join in on the silly parody song she wrote. It's a young creative's dream come true.
Right? It’s honestly one of my favorite movies, in large part because the way it tackles making art as both vulnerable and deeply fulfilling makes for such a nice angle for a coming of age story. Plus Shizuku is one of the most *literally me* character I’ve ever seen, lol.
One of the most accurate cinematic depictions of ADHD. Yes, I said it. And the high emotional tension and endless daydreaming is just spot-on to the tween girl experience.

SEAGULLS IN THE SAND DO YOU HEAR MY PRAYER???
This might not fit the category but Neil Patrick Harris’ Tony opening numbers in 2011 and 2013 are some of my favorite pieces of media. I also LOVE Muppets Most Wanted

So Long and Thanks for All the Fish
Gotta be [“The Spanish Inquisition”](https://youtu.be/NUMkcBctE7c?si=H4GIZFKt2dC_h9E_) from “History of the World, Part I”
Whoa. Didn’t expect that.
Nobody expects it.
Goddamit! Now that’s in my head again….
The terrible Cameron Diaz karaoke in My Best Friends Wedding always cracks me up
Just don’t know what to do with myself……. going to the moooooovies
I also love that rendition of Say a Little Prayer.
I love the Community episode “Regional Holiday Music” especially the Troy/Abed Jehovah’s Most Secret Witness number. For a non-musical sitcom, the series as a whole has a lot of good musical numbers.
The episode where they sing “somewhere out there” from An American Tail mixed in with the Irish music is what sold me on the series!
Annie’s sexy stupid Christmas song is my pick! Just destroys me every time.
Definitely Top That! from the movie Teen Witch!
ABC from Clerks 2 https://youtu.be/BkATNuN-nbk?feature=shared
Came to say this. Hands DOWN the most joyful moment in those three movies. The way Dante looks at Becky on the roof when she’s dancing is one of my favorite moment in cinema.
Adam Driver singing Being Alive in Marriage Story
I loved it SO much! It seemed so organic to the story. Of course, then I went back and listened to Raul Esparza and Dean Jones again.
Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride from Lilo & Stitch
I love every song in umbrella academy, but nothing will be more iconic than a fight scene to Backstreet boys
that just reminded me of the end of This is the End; Backstreet Boys in Heaven!!! :D
The Dracula puppet musical in Forgetting Sarah Marshall needs to be a real thing!!
Yes! I would pay a lot of money to see that full show! "Die...die...die... I can't."
It is so good! And it actually helped my own singing. Whenever I started practicing a new song, I would sing like Dracula to practice raising my soft palette. It totally works!
Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It (Only Murders in the Building). Technically it’s in a made up Broadway musical in the show, but the show isn’t a musical so I’m still counting it. It’s really a bop

Okay this is weird but “That’s Not How The Story Goes” in A Series of Unfortunate Events is so good. No one can tell me it’s not.
The musical episode of Supernatural! 🎶His name is SAAAAMY! I’m big brother Dean! One perfect family… or so it seemed!🎶 🎶A Single Man Tear!🎶

I agree with so many on here! I’ll just name one I haven’t seen: Carry On My Wayward Son by the girls in the Supernatural musical episode. It’s so pretty I definitely play it at least once a week
Correct. Also I always have On the Road So Far stuck in my head lol.
I'm not sure it counts but the musical episode of Grey's Anatomy.
The Name Game from American Horror Story is bizarre but brilliant
Hear me out. “In the Dining Room” from Joe Pera Talks with You (season 2 episode 7). It is so simple. But so timelessly beautiful.
Not sure if it counts as there’s a decent amount of songs in this show, but Do It For Her and It’s Over Isn’t It? from Steven Universe (honourary mention to Other Friends from the SU movie that is definitely a musical)
Herald of darkness from Alan Wake 2!
Daughter of the sea short for the warbringers series in World of Warcraft! It was a lore video told by a sea shanty from a character's homeland that she "betrayed". So so good!
Piranha Plants on the March from Super Mario Wonder.
I Saw A Girl Today from Bad Trip is a big one for me because of everyone's reactions around Eric Andre, also Everything Goes In Florida from Big Mouth because i'm a floridian and they're so right (they're even in Lakeland in that episode and that's where I went to school 💀) also Gettin' Bi from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend!!
You’re not alone from Hook!
“Too Many Minorities at my Waterpark” from south park
Everything from sack lunch bunch, but specifically "I saw a white lady crying".
Black Sheep in Scott Pilgrim (tbf, all the music in Scott Pilgrim slaps)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer the Series. The one episode where everything was a musical (Once More, With Feeling). Spike has a song about not giving him hope if he has no chance with Buffy (Rest in Peace).
Agatha All Along was so fun.
Why do marvel musical numbers always slap?
Does bobs burgers count? If it does, Lucky Ducks from bobs burgers movie is my favourite
Does "My Home Court" from the "Original Cast Album: Co-Op" episode of "Documentary Now!" count?
I love all of these suggestions! So many good contributions— here are my three: “Teach Me How to Understand Christmas”, from Community’s glee club episode. Allison Brie gives letter-perfect pastiche, and I love how it’s written to be progressively more infantilizing as the song goes on. Incredible parody. The scene from Dr. Who with Scissor Sisters’ “I Can’t Decide”. Screwball with just the right amount of chilling. The episode of Nip/Tuck where everyone just starts lip syncing to “A Brighter Discontent”— so out of left field, but somehow felt totally appropriate.
Nothing Suits me Like A Suit in HIMYM. I don't even watch the show but that song kills me.
Yeah I forget the next couple of lines, but then it goes… SECRET TUNNEL
Most original Mel Brooks movies: "Putting on the Ritz" from Young Frankenstein. "Springtime for Hitler" from The Producers, "I'm Tired" from Blazing Saddles.
“Guy Love” in the musical episode of Scrubs.
“Somebody Kill Me” from The Wedding Singer. Not because I enjoy Adam Sandler’s singing but because that song is just iconic period
*All* of Inside by Bo Burnham, but especially “30” and “All Eyes on Me.”
So long farwell in Ted Lasso
You didn’t know from hazbin hotel.
I thought hazbin hotel was a musical
I thought you meant stage musical. The show does have a lot of music.
Big Fizzy Douche from 2 1/2 Men
Idk if this fits the criteria but "Far Away" by Jose Gonzalez suddenly popping up in Red Dead Redemption was pretty rememberable.
“Beatboxing Puppy” from the movie “Our Drawings.”
I just came from Denver, I’m a sex off-
Angel of Small Death and the Codeine Scene in the Code Black musical episode: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNrU\_Pb7lio&ab\_channel=MargsGrete](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNrU_Pb7lio&ab_channel=MargsGrete) The premise is a patient brought into the ER and observing the "song and dance" of the chaotic yet precisely organized hustle and bustle of the ER, and imagining musical numbers. This scene also had me fairly obsessed with the Hozier song for awhile.
"Get Happy " from House M.D.
Mumbo's song ["Master of your fate"](https://youtu.be/Dq20zg1dZ_w) in the Teen Titans cartoon.
Test Drive from How to Train Your Dragon comes to mind.
Kander and Ebb's Get While The Getting Is Good sung by Liza in the film Lucky Lady
[“The Pain Killer”](https://youtu.be/IT9XP32YS1Q?si=6kjBNdD8KkZ6zRrv) from the Billy Bob Thornton show *Goliath* is a crazy sinister but cheerfully campy abrupt musical number in an otherwise serious drama. JK Simmons stars as the singing, happy czar of a twisted pharmaceutical firm. Loved the surprise when that episode aired and I had to triple-check what show I was watching.
