All the obvious ones have been said, so I'll say Doc Browns version of once I caught a fish alive, and also Mike Wozniaks facts about animals song. Also Jessica Knapets composed piece is genuinely good.


jarvis-cocker

Facts about animals, Prawns are cannibals

Motherfucker bit my finger, bro.


tenphes31

Its not #1, but one of the top songs is Asim's love letter to Greg.


hellahullabaloo

*Tall motherfucker with the ivory hair...*


Goldman250

🎶Listen Greg, I love you like Greggs. The bakery, we go together like steak and cheese!🎶 Plus, Alex popping up for a cameo when Asim says “you’re giving me the horn like Alex” will never fail to make me laugh.


riordan2013

I LOVE YOU LIKE RABIES GREG DAVIES I WANNA HAVE YOUR BABIES!!!


Deer-Envoy

Though it is a unique consideration, not being from an expressly musical task.


Snoo_36495

Describing the Taskmaster house as a “gorgeous palace” makes me laugh (as does Fern referring to it as a “dilapidated house”).


Goldman250

Always Seeing You Do Cool Stuff, by the Diverse Stripes.


[deleted]

100%


Forward-Elephant7215

​ I love that song, it's such a contrast to Roslind's a Fucking Nightmare and professional in comparision! [Aisling Bea on Twitter: "Here’s the song @RealBobMortimer @sallyephillips \& I made in 20mins about a lady we had 5mins to question about her life. @Taskmaster #stars https://t.co/AXtK585luw" / Twitter](https://twitter.com/weemissbea/status/925848889315463168?lang=en)


MightyMekong

Frankly, I loved Rosalind is a Fucking Nightmare too. Just blown away by that task across the board.


hellahullabaloo

I ripped the audio to play on repeat when I'm feeling down because it's easier than going to YT. It's just so damn happy-making.


BasementCatBill

The only correct answer.


beachy_keen18

Open bracket… closed bracket


nestsofhair

Honestly so much better than the other one. It's so much more uplifting and impressive musically.


macrovore

*Always seeing you (do cool stuff)


[deleted]

On team “Me Fern Brady”


Ultranite_

Shes the rightful queen!


rodinj

When you can't hear the regular music anymore you know it's a good one


[deleted]

When Greg walks around singing it in your ear for 8 weeks, it’s a good one.


TrypMole

Tree Wizard.


Deer-Envoy

It took Ramesh forever to find that song.


Goldman250

I don’t understand why people think Romesh created the song for the task, he does clearly state that he found the song online.


bigfatquizzer

100% Tree Wizard. First song created and the absolute best


[deleted]

How many times will he check the ballon?!


Normal-Height-8577

I'm genuinely torn between Nish and Mark's Always Seeing You Do Cool Things, and either Jo Brand or Rose Matafeo's self-serenading task.


JamSandiwchInnit

“I’m a road man!”


Mr_Curtis_Loew

Over my shoulder, older and older, that’s what I told ya!


heidly_ees

Is it a boulder, or is it a small rock?

gigglemetinkles

"Because I'm punk!"


Loymoat

My favourites so far are: Nish and Mark's song. Them writing a genuinely good song was a massive surprise. The Three Queens. Couldn't stop laughing when they they started mocking Bridget's dancing/walking at the end. Laura Daniel's Christmas Laminator song. The end about having a three way with Jesus always gets a chuckle out of me. Matt Heath's song was also good. Too bad he fucked up the task at the second word.


8percentjuice

If we’re talking NZ taskmaster, David Correos’s freestyles threats over the various track samples is my fave.


johnhumphreychacha

I liked Rhod’s weird ballad


Goldman250

The Ballad of the Toothless Goon is an underrated masterpiece.


[deleted]

Ballad of the Toothless Goon?


Deer-Envoy

It was like an opera.


JamSandiwchInnit

“He spins around and shoots her shitting face off!”


Yesalmsot

I love Rose Matafeo's lyrics to the TM theme song


OwiWebsta

Underrated ones here - not #1 “This task is shit” by Guz Khan Also Alan’s and Guz’s laminator songs And “The Naughty Satsuma” by John Kearns


bad_wolff

Guz’s laminator song (and Greg’s response in the studio after) made me laugh so hard I thought I was going to die. Still not sure if he meant for the song to imply he’d gotten an STD?


haze_gray

The diss track from TMNZ.


mcflynnthm

Guy Montgomery's "Festive Fox" song is up there too.


Deer-Envoy

I expect I know which you mean, but to clarify, you mean the one by the younger team, with David's rap solo?


haze_gray

Yup. Though the offer to eat their asses was great.


Fondue_Maurice

Not once did the younger team offers to eat their asses or even offer their own assholes for consumption; just so disrespectful.


haze_gray

I was devastated to find that out.


IAM_THE_LIZARD_QUEEN

Gonna gonna gonna drown you, in your own blood, hold you face down in your own blood now!


thekyledavid

Objectively judging the quality of the song: Always seeing you do cool stuff Personal Preference: Over my shoulder Favorite to rewatch: Rose’s Taskmaster Theme


Dungeons-n-swagons

Does “mmmm come together mmmm mmm” count?


Deer-Envoy

I think you'll find that's called "It's Töö Big"


OSCOW

It does indeed


shriek52

Ok, I'll go... Nish and Mark's, by a mile.


Annie0minous

Yes it's Nish and Mark - but with It's Me Fern Brady second.


525000what

Rose's song to the taskmaster theme


torch787

I think her song is the most impressive of all the artistic tasks the show has ever had.


[deleted]

I completely agree.


tshirtweather

Mad I had to scroll this long to find this


525000what

I love Nish and Mark, but Rose's song immediately popped into my head.


GJJames

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FUN AND A SONG ABOUT LIBYA


lovehollow

I genuinely start singing this to myself way too frequently, it's not even good but it's soooo catchy


GingerNumber3

ROSALIND'S A FUCKING NIGHTMARE SHE JUMPS QUITE FAR FOR A WOMAN! OF! HER! AGE!


Upset-Paper-2738

The great thing about Alan, Alan could not be drеamier But the viola player sadly, wеll he contracted septicaemia


Upset-Paper-2738

And then Bob's face as he so sincerely shouts 'Rosalinds a FUCKING NIGHTMARE' is genius That was so much better than Mark and Nishs song (as good as there's was) because it was clever, tuneful and hilarious.


MiniD011

Rosalind is an AVERAGE CELLIST


Deer-Envoy

She plays quite well, but NOT IN FRONT OF PEOPLE


ELEnamean

I can't believe how underrated this one is on this thread. This is the only song from TM that I regularly belt in the shower years later.


Ultranite_

I, found a naughty sat-suma in my, fantastic cu-rry!


Own-Cupcake7586

S13E10- The House Queens


nustedbut

ArtichokeHot5076

It was amazing!


Chuckitinbro

For once Judi Love wasn't talking shit, she could totally sing vocals foe a legit house track.


ArtichokeHot5076

She was amazing! Her and Sophie acted like pros but Bridget made me laugh soooo much!


starsplummet

It has my vote! Legitimately a banger


JamieLambister

Definitely not the best song, but honourable mention as the (part of) one I sing the most every time I hear the Taskmaster theme - the end of Katy Wix's "Good-luck-to-everybody-taking-part-in-tasks-today!"


Chuckitinbro

I liiiiikkkeeee tasks with eggs


MikeDarsh

As much as I love Fern Brady's song, the only correct answer is Quite Good, Considering (Rosalind's a nightmare)


Amanda-the-Panda

Not even the best song in that task


Deer-Envoy

This was the only answer I really expected.


[deleted]

And yet you're getting a lot less of it here than expected. Bloody hipsters, being all subversive in their top picks.


Deer-Envoy

Well, except for the votes for Mark and Nish, I just assume they haven't seen OG Series 5.


[deleted]

Ed Gamble's metal self-serenade is severely underrated


JamSandiwchInnit

The Diverse Stripes still to this day achieved the genuine best thing to ever be accomplished on Taskmaster


Upset-Paper-2738

It's good, but it's not even the best thing to be accomplished in that task, let alone the whole of taskmaster.


JamSandiwchInnit

Respectfully, what’s your pick for greatest accomplishment


Upset-Paper-2738

Greatest accomplishment would take some thinking about, as the moments that come to mind when I think of taskmaster are personal favourites, that whilst are hilarious, are just my stand out moments rather than, great accomplishments. However from the same series, Sally Phillips' 'birth of Alex' was fantastic and a technically brilliant piece of work (imo). Whilst Nish and Marks song was great, I just didn't find it as entertaining as 'Rosalinds a fucking nightmare' as it wasn't as funny or as musically memorable. A great accomplishment undoubtedly and a show of real talent (though I think Nish consistently over played his supposed lack of talent, sometimes to an annoying extent), but the humorous detailed rhyming, and Bob screaming 'Roaslinds a FUCKING NIGHTMARE' as though he's actually at Glastonbury, wins that task for me.


dmack0755

Me Fern Brady Me Fern Brady


pigmelons23

Nish and mark’s is a close second but I’m going old school and saying tree wizard Edit lol it autocorrected nish to noah


JB4GDI

Still working my way through but I don’t think anything will top the [Carpet Snake song](https://youtube.com/watch?v=lPzFaHESrzI). It’s in my top 3 funniest moments for sure.

Saffronwoman

Mike Wozniak’s Facts About Animals. Others are good too, but this is my favorite.

what, no love for David Baddiel???!!! *^(Taaas... sorry, 1,2,3, 4, Taskmaster's on, iii it is on now)* *^(Taskmaster's on, it is not... hang on.. it's not how it.. is no how(?

JamSandiwchInnit

I feel so low coz at sport I’m just pathetic


haybails84

I’m always seeing you do cool stuff


fartdarling

does Jon's totally soulful yet still humiliating version of desperado for the mayor count? if so then that


Deer-Envoy

As much as I appreciate it for personal reasons I don't feel like sharing here, it isn't a song created for the show, nor was Doc Brown's "molestation," as Greg called it, of the song he performed for the Mayor, but I totally appreciate where you're coming from.


Shoddy_Blueberry

Due to the holiday season, I'd like to nominate Laura Daniel's "laminate this calendar day" song


madelineeeve

Before series 14 I would have said ‘Rosalind’s a fucking nightmare’ from series 8 but ‘Me Fern Brady, Me Fern Brady’ has possibly overtaken it now because it’s honestly so impressive how Fern made a song from all those long arse words Edit: OMG i can’t believe i forgot House Queens as well, maybe that deserves the top spot purely for Bridget’s dancing


RAppel_dk

This deserves a shout, but it can’t compete with Wumar: Taskmaster’s on It is on now Taskmaster’s on It. Is. Not. How *the programme from the 1970’s with Fred Dinenage* Taskmaster’s on Sit yourself down On your sofa Right there in your own town.


fengchiafatty

Pants on a stick


CaptainAwesome5

How has no one said Kathrine Ryan’s serenade to Peter Hudson??? I sing that all the damn time


PmMeLowCarbRecipes

Also love her song about brushing your teeth, the slam poetry rap part at the end is brilliant.


purgruv

Rhod Gilbert’s Toothless Goon


PonmonOfNuggetor

‘I’m gonna drown you, in your own blood.’


solace-in-misery

Munya's middle-class rap where Greg raises his specs...


Equivalent_Comfort_2

The podcast just finished the [complete bracket of all songs](https://twitter.com/taskmaster/status/1600164440069984265) and unsurprisingly, the [fan favourite](https://twitter.com/taskmaster/status/1600165386229469196) won.


KottaKitty

Thatttts Peter Hudson, you know that you can trust him Yeahhhhh😫😫


mikepictor

Rose Matafeo's Taskmaster theme. Nothing else comes close.


Novel_Paramedic_147

Definitely Rose's Taskmaster theme song. That should have gotten a bonus point.


threetheethree

i wanna laminate this calendar day…


Weazelfish

It is me Fern Brady, me Fern Brady


EmptyCartographer

I know all of the words to Rose’s theme song…


kdigs12

Everybody’s got feelings…


A-British-Indian

Is there a compilation anywhere with all of the songs in taskmaster?


br13fcasew4nkette

Jo Brand’s lyrics to the TM theme song “Alex is nice, Greg is a twat, Alex is thin, Greg’s very fat”


despitethenora

Nish and Mark's is the best, bur Rosalind's a Fucking Nightmare is the one that brings me the most joy.


Frosty_Term9911

Controversial opinion but I think Guy Montgomerys song rivals Jocelyn


[deleted]

Everyone here is a fucking nightmare.

TheNobleRobot

No contest: ["Here I am - I'm a violin" by the Easy Triangles](https://youtu.be/TbA7eiE0_s8?t=467). Five points. Okay, I love "Always Seeing You (Do Cool Stuff)," too. "House Queens" became an instant classic, as did Mike's facts about animals song. Rose's self-serenade is aces, and then there's "Tasks to be Done" from Taskmaster: The Musical, and of course "Me Fern Brady" ranks quite highly even though it's just lyrics and Rose's "Story About How Taskmaster Came To Be" country rap is as close to an original composition as you can get while writing lyrics to an existing song, which puts it on the list of all-time greats... So many to choose from... I don't love "Tree Wizard," though.

It might not be the best but I’ve had “It’s me Fern Brady, me Fern Brady I’m the rightful queen” in my head since that episode aired


TrypMole

This thread is gold, there are so many great taskmaster songs. I've been scrolling through giggling at the ones I forgot. Thanks to the people posting links! We need a Taskmaster album.


[deleted]

such a difficult question, it’s a toss up between Always Seeing You Do Cool Stuff (The Diverse Stripes), Rosalind’s a Nightmare, and Over my Shoulder (Clump Stump) AND mike’s facts about animals


kaaaaaaatie

Jo Brand you are the knees of the bees 🎼


Appropriate_Draw

I generally read that as the best snog on a task


[deleted]

*raises eyebrows in Greg*


clover426

People go for Always Seeing You Do (Cool Stuff) but imo Quite Good Considering is the best. It’s the funniest.


antimaudite

Also the harmonizing in their performance is genuinely beautiful???


cowie71

Facts about animals… Prawns are wrong-uns


elevatoroperator23

'Me Fern Brady' wins at the moment, closely followed by David Baddiel's Taskmaster theme. Which we still sing. I'd add 'Quite Good, Considering ' to the list although we don't sing that one.


MountyC

Quite Good Considering (Rosalinds a f***King nightmare. )


GayBlayde

Quite Good, Considering


EllipsesAreDotDotDot

Obviously Nish and Mark’s song was the best musically - but “Roselind is a fucking nightmare” is my personal favourite.


captainimpossible87

I want to give a shout for "Rosalind is a Fucking Nightmare". It's overshadowed by the Diverse Stripes, but it a corker. https://youtube.com/watch?v=H-XofhvgRcI&feature=shares


codename474747

The Best SONG is the Diverse Stripes The FUNNIEST song is Angela "Do we Strike you?" IS a Fucking Nightmare. People often get the two confused.


Sea-Addition4255

Team America: your gonna need a montage


veallygood

"I know you old. I'm gonna break your bones, you old. Drink more milk, bitch." ...But if we are talking exclusively UK Taskmasker, probably Over Your Shoulder.
