Part 2, we're just gonna dive right into it:

Caramella Girls - Caramelldansen - I'm really starting part 2 with that, huh. Alright, sure. Yeah, I stand by it. Tell me he wouldn't love it. Tell me he wouldn't blast it in Ford's head at 3am while Ford is utterly exhausted. It's especially weird, given how the song wouldn't be out at that point in time. Maybe he snagged it from the future.

O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei - Oh, hey, the original song. Just felt wrong having a bunch of different versions of the song without it, even if I feel like Bill would vibe with the more dance-y versions more.

Psynwav - Musical Tangents: 01 Industry Victory - Oh, hey, we're getting into super weird (no AL) mashup territory. I mean, I had Sweet Victory in the first half and I'm pretty sure I have Industry Baby on here as well, unless I decide to remove it when I get there.

Anyway this one and the next few are the ones from this album that I feel like Bill would probably have on a party playlist somewhere. I had to physically restrain myself from adding A Bite At The Pizzeria on the list as well. I might add it at some point anyway.

Psynwav - Musical Tangents: 09 Happy Hour - Bit of a tamer one but it's very fun. Also Cbat makes a return.

Psynwav - Musical Tangents: 10 We Don't Make Meme Mashups - This one is just batshit and only gets more chaotic by the end. Love it to pieces.

Ryan Chongoshow - MAD RAT PURGATORY - I needed at least one Ryan Chongoshow original mashup on here and also I'm SO sad he hasn't uploaded The Jam Revolving on Youtube as its own video because I'd 100% add that as well.

Either way, if you want to check it out for yourselves, it's here in the full Behindtale album. Which I'd just recommend on its own outside of any Bill playlists if you love mashups and Undertale. Consider that an honorary playlist song.

Lil Nas X - INDUSTRY BABY - Okay, so this isn't on here because I think it applies to Bill. This is on here because I feel like he'd apply it to himself. I don't think it suits him but I feel like he'd think it suits him, you know? But bestie, it doesn't. 'Oh, I'm gonna make the biggest comeback, I'm gonna prove them all wrong!' Dude. Anyway, great song.

Lipps Inc. - Funkytown - Yeah :)

Earth, Wind & Fire - September - Yeah :) (These ones are just fun vibes, don't have any other reasons besides that)

Britney Spears - Circus - ALL EYES ON ME IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, JUST LIKE A CIRCUSSS~ This one's just fun and also listen to the lyrics. Can you not imagine Bill being like 'Oh, that's soooo me~!'?

Britney Spears - Toxic - YOU GET IT BECAUSE HE'S TO-god, this playlist really bounces between coding him as an angsty teenage boy and a girlypop teenage girl. So real, if we're being honest.

Lou Bega - Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of…) - This song has those 'singer is trying to sound so cool and suave while also kinda coming across as a huge dork' vibes, in the best way. So, like...*gestures at Bill* Also does anyone remember the Radio Disney version where he sings about wanting to hook up with the Disney characters? That was weird.

Katy Perry - Firework - This song's so fucking annoying, but you know Bill would hear those first few lyrics and go 'Ugh, she gets me.'

Switchfoot - This Is Your Life - Once again, I show my Christian upbringing in full by slapping another Switchfoot song on here, but also like. Listen to it. Can you not imagine it being sung to him from the Axolotl's perspective? Am I just stretching so hard I dislocate my arm? Who's to say?

Geppetto Soundtrack - Pleasure Island - I feel like only three other people outside of me grew up with this movie, but also this song's got fun, sinister vibes.

Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling - Honestly, just assume any Black Eyed Peas songs are on here because they'd be loud and annoying. I mean, I like their music but I know that's the general consensus for them.

Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow - Like I said above.

will.i.am ft. Britney Spears - Scream & Shout - Not technically a Black Eyed Peas song but I feel like it falls in the same vein of often being scorned by people who just hate fun. Also it's got more Britney, and while I can't imagine Bill's as much a Britney girlie as he is a Kesha girlie, he's still got a handful of her songs at the ready.

Typing that also made me realize how I have, like, no Lady Gaga songs on this playlist. I dunno, while she's definitely weird, I feel like her brand of weird and Bill's brand of weird aren't completely overlapping. At least in terms of music, he'd definitely love that meat dress. Maybe some of her songs will end up on the list at some point.

Black Eyed Peas - Dirty Bit - This is the last song of theirs for now, but I know I added Let's Get It Started down the list. I know too many of their songs.

Pitbull ft. Christina Aguilera - Feel This Moment - I don't have enough Pitbull on this list. I should fix that. I considered Timber, but even with Kesha, it just didn't feel right for a Bill playlist. Dunno, the vibes were off to me.

Taio Cruz - Dynamite - I THROW MY HANDS UP IN THE AIR SOMETIMES, SAYIN' AYYYYOOOO, GOTTA LET GO-

Nova Twins - Undertaker - An anon suggested this, and I LOVE their rage. The lyrics are very Bill as well~!

Pure Hell - No Rules - Another anon suggestion, and once again, it definitely has those Bill vibes! So much rage, I love it!

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit - Of course. Of course.

Weird Al - Smells Like Nirvana - Again, of course. I should really tie the two of these together with the cover in the first part, but I feel like they all encompass Bill to some degree. The silliness, the rage, the ominous vibes. Whichever one you pick, I can see it applied to him.

DJ Cummerbund - Shaxicula - This mashup's just silly and fun.

Basshunter - DotA - I believe Puff put this on their playlist as well, and the ONLY reason I remember that is because I saw the song title and went 'Wait, I haven't thought about that song in years!' Anyway, yeah.

Team Four Star - My Way Lyric Video (TFS Perfect Cell Cover) - Specifically this cover. It just hit different.

The Black Eyed Peas - Let's Get It Started - We're not going to talk about the original version. We're not going to do it. Don't know what the original version is? Good, keep it that way. We're just going to enjoy this version and agree that they'd be bumping it so loud in the Fearamid.

djJack - Heffalumps and Woozles Remix and djJack - Pink Elephants on Parade Remix - Loud remixes of already super-weird Disney songs. I dig it.

Awkwafina & Daveed Diggs - The Scuttlebutt - What the FUCK were they thinking with this? Anyway, it's one of the worst songs I've ever heard in my life. So naturally I added it to my Bill playlist. Does it relate to him? Not really. Would he love it? Absolutely.

Ylvis - The Fox (What Does The Fox Say) - I think we're just getting into songs that Bill would slap on his party playlist because they're so goddamn annoying. I have a LOT less to say about some of these other than 'They're annoying, he'd love them.' But that's all we need, right?

Eminem - Without Me - Pretty sure this was a Drake suggestion, too. Also annoying but my dad listened to a lot of Eminem when I was growing up so it's kind of nostalgic for me. Anyway, I fully support slapping mediocre white boy music onto my Bill playlist.

Lil Bigg Dawggg - Straight Blanchin' - Only this version, though. The soundtrack version doesn't have Kevin Michael Richardson on it, and I consider that a personal sin. Plus I just like how this one was put together.

Kesha - Die Young - This Kesha song's so far down because I actually forgot it early on. Felt terrible when I eventually remembered it, but I slapped it on the playlist and that was that~! Honestly I think one might be one of Bill's favorites. How ironic.

Yoshida Nightcore - Nightcore - I'm Blue x I'm Good - This mashup just rules, I don't even care. Maybe I have extremely bad taste in music, but I feel like people who hate the newer song just hate fun.

David Guetta, Bebe Rexha - I'm Good (Blue) (Nightcore) - Once again, I feel like people just hate fun. Anyway, Bill's bumping this so loudly that they hear it up in Washington. It's true, I heard it.

Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee) - And finally, I add the original song. Which I also love to pieces, I always have. Maybe Bill dedicates it to Kryptos or something.

Bill Nye: The Science Guy (Intro) and Bill Nye The Science Guy Theme Song But I'm Screaming The Lyrics - SERIOUS loud warning for that second one, but I just think I'm hilarious. Also I got the idea from the poll about Bill Nye earlier.

NOMA - Brain Power - Don't have much to this one, just the vibes.

Bring Me The Horizon - Kool-Aid - Doll suggested this one, and they were right. It bangs hard.

The Living Tombstone - My Ordinary Life - And we're back to the super obvious picks, specifically the one I completely forgot about until earlier. Anyway, yes.

Teenagers - My Chemical Romance - I added it back on. Who are you to judge me? The Bill police? Get outta here. Anyway, yeah, this has big Bill vibes to me.

PaRappa the Rapper - Car Rap - BAD Instrumental - This one just gives me anxiety because it reminds me of how bad I was at that game. I feel like Bill would find it amusing.

Oh, look at that, I'm at the bottom of the playlist. At least for now, I'll probably end up adding more songs to it at some point. If I add enough, I'll reblog this with a Part 3.

Anyway, if you read all of this, you're a saint because I spent several hours putting it together. Hope you like my stupid as fuck Bill playlist, even if most of the back half of songs were just added because 'I feel like he'd like them for parties' without much of a deeper meaning to them.

Hayley's Completely Self-Indulgent and Borderline Ridiculous Bill Cipher Playlist (Part 1)

Just gonna go for it and make a masterpost of all the songs (video links included) I've got on my Bill playlist so far.

'So far' being the key words; I've added over a hundred songs at this point and will probably add more in time. Whether it's songs I think Bill would like, songs that just remind me of Bill, the most obnoxious songs to hear on a party playlist, songs connected to the side of himself he tries to bury in lies, or songs that I'll admit are a bit of a stretch but they still remind me of Bill so I added them anyway, I've got a little bit of everything here.

I do take requests for songs to add but also don't make fun of me for some of the more obvious and basic choices because I know. I know. But also I can do whatever I want forever.

I did put some small reasons/infodumps next to each song, to explain why I picked them. Or I'll just say that it had Bill vibes to me and leave it at that.

Anyway, for anyone interested (if you actually read all my little blurbs, massive props to you), the first chunk of songs are listed below. Just a heads up, it's LONG and this is only the first part:

Mariana & The Diamonds - Oh No! - Yeah, obviously. Obviously.

Taylor Swift - Death Note ｢AMV｣ Look What You Made Me Do - I said it before, I'll say it again; Death Note AMV creators can turn water into wine and every time I watch this one, I can't stop picturing the song from the POV of a manipulative, power-hungry bastard with a God Complex. So you know, Bill. But only specifically in this context, it doesn't hit as hard without the AMV.

Fall Out Boy - Centuries - Listen to the lyrics of the chorus. That's Bill. Like...that's Bill. The rest of the song has a lot of really good Bill lyrics as well.

Scissor Sisters - I Can't Decide - Shut up. SHUT UP. I knew about the song WAY before it was ever applied to Bill. Heck, I knew about this song way before Bill even existed so SHUSH. But like, come on. Sometimes a song choice is overapplied to a character for a reason; it works.

Creature Feature - The Greatest Show Unearthed - I think my teenage self would strangle me if I didn't put at least one Creature Feature song on here. Lucky for him, I've put more than one. But the other one comes later. ...Did I add it? I should check that.

Voltaire - Land of the Dead - Speaking of teenage Hayley's tastes, time for the Voltaire songs I've definitely just added because of the 'I'm 13 and this is Deep' vibes. But also Voltaire fucks severely and every Bill playlist should have at least one of his songs on it, in my personal opinion.

Voltaire - When You're Evil - Once again, I'm 13 and this is Deep, but also tell me you can't imagine Bill singing this to himself. No, not in a sexy way in a human body who looks like Oregonian Onceler, in the edgy teenager way where you thinks you're the most evilest evil in the entire world but you're really just going through puberty and also probably transgender, but you don't know that yet.

Voltaire - Death Death (Devil, Devil, Evil, Evil, Song) - Once again, edgy teen who thinks he's the most evilest evil in the entire world (I don't think Bill is actually irredeemably, unquestionably evil, he'd just really vibe with 'Ooh I'm so evil! I'm such a bad guy!' songs).

I'm pretty sure this is the last Voltaire song for now, unless I added Brains! somewhere down the line and forgot. (Also just a mild warning but this song DOES use the f-slur, if that bugs you)

The Greatest Showman Cast - The Other Side - Sighs. Look. It's a Bill and Ford song to me. I don't even mean romantically or anything, just LISTEN to it. That's them. If there were a Gravity Falls Musical, dedicated to recreating the entire show through song and dance, the two of them meeting for the first time would have a song exactly like this. I refuse to apologize for this choice. Also a Gravity Falls musical would rule, someone should make that eventually.

Italobrothers - My Life is a Party - Just the first of my many Dragostea Din Tei choices for this playlist. I really like the original, okay? And I usually end up attached to people who try to remix it/make a new song outta it. This one has the bonus of also being a fun party song.

David Guetta, Bebe Rexha - I'm Good (Blue) - Speaking of the first choice of a song I have multiple times on this playlist in some form. I don't care what anybody says, I think this song is a lot of fun and I think Bill would have it on one of his party playlists somewhere. Probably the Nightcore version, it's a lot quicker and makes for a better fistpumping song, in my personal opinion.

Set It Off ft. William Beckett - Wolf In Sheep's Clothing - Yeah, I'm not explaining this one, you get it.

Vocaloid (made by Fukase) - ‘Cause I’m a Liar - I actually don't like this one all that much, and I can feel everyone's judgment about having a fucking Kokichi Ouma fansong on here. But the lyrics don't lie. Or...I guess they do. It's a song about being a liar, that's the joke. (Also slight content warning but the video has a lot of flashy effects, so take caution!)

Kesha - Blow - Of course we've gotta have some Kesha. There will be more. She needs no explanation.

Kesha - TiK ToK - Once again, not explaining myself. It's Kesha.

Taylor Swift -【AMV】Death Note - Blank Space - What I said about the last Death Note AMV with a Taylor Swift song. It just works so well for a manipulative guy like Bill, but only when set to Death Note specifically. Why? I have no idea, it just hits different. It's like eating crackers with cheese whiz: not a healthy or fantastic snack by any means but sometimes I just want some junk food. Except this junk food manipulates people.

Kesha - Take It Off - Once again, will not explain my Kesha choices. You understand that Bill and the Henchmaniacs would be Kesha girlies or you don't.

Neil Cicierega - It's Gonna Get Weird - Giggles. Also funny enough, I don't listen to this all that often. Dunno why.

Gravity Falls Soundtrack - Is It Bottomless - Triangulum Entagulum - I mean, yeah.

Gravity Falls Soundtrack - A Very Tricky Triangle - I mean, yeah x2. I don't care if this might be cheating, I can do what I want. But also, isn't this such a FUN instrumental? I love the music they use for him in the show SO much. It's so sinister and otherworldly. Top-notch soundtracking.

Voltaire - Brains! - Oh, hey, I did add Brains! to this. Anyway, we can tell I was a Billy and Mandy kid so I'm gonna project that onto Bill. Also I'm 90% sure this is the last Voltaire song I have on the list. For now.

Trolls 3 - Mount Rageous [Extended Edition] - This is absolutely one of my most self-indulgent picks on the list, especially because I went straight for the one that includes the Sweet Dreams part of the song (because I guess the soundtrack doesn't actually have it?)

Anyway, it's a song all about faking it to make it, sung by people who have gone on to manipulate everyone around them by using others for their own abilities. So I think I at least have SOME excuse to connect it to Bill. Maybe? Possibly? I think so. Plus it fucks and actually got me to semi-care about the Trolls films again.

Alex Hirsch - We'll Meet Again - Giggles again.

Marina and The Diamonds - Bubblegum Bitch - Insert that post about always understanding whenever someone slaps Bubblegum Bitch onto a character playlist. That character's Miss Sugar Pink Liquor Liquor Lips now. Admittedly I don't have any other real reason for it to be on here, other than its extreme levels of cunt. Maybe Bill adds it to his party mix at Pyronica's request or something. Now THERE'S a Bubblegum Bitch.

Rihanna - Disturbia - Another song that gives me Bill and Ford vibes. Pretty self-explanatory, probably. Probably?

Malia J - Smells Like Teen Spirit - I also have the original version and the Weird Al parody down further on the playlist, and I tie them all to Bill in different ways. This one's for his more ominous and sinister side, where it's like 'I'm coming and I'm not leaving :)', whereas the original touches more on the 'teen/young adult revolutionary' side of things and the Weird Al cover is just because Weird Al. Also this cover is so pretty and chilling to me.

David Guetta ft.Sia - Titanium - This one's kind of a 'I could take it or leave it on here' song, admittedly, but also it gives me pre-Second Dimension-Destruction Bill vibes, in a twisted kind of sense. Like, he feels all powerful and like nobody can stop him...as he proceeds to make the worst mistakes of his life and destroys everything he knows. Might stew on this one and potentially remove it, but it can stay for now.

Ricky Martin - Livin' La Vida Loca - I feel like this one speaks for itself. He's insane. He's cah-RAZZYYYYY. Also it's a fun party song.

Freak Kitchen - Freak of the Week - This one just fucking rules. I'll admit connecting it to Bill outside of the title is a stretch, it's more a critique on people so desperate to achieve fame and fortune that they'll go as far as putting their own lives in danger to get it, whereas Bill is more likely to put others in danger to achieve his own goals.

But also he was willing to destroy the universe with himself inside it, for the sake of the most wild party imaginable. Also, desperate to seek fame and fortune without considering the dangers necessary to get there? Could always stretch further, say it's a Bill and Ford song. Either way, I'm keeping it on the playlist.

Christina Milian - Am to Pm - I've just really liked this song since I was like, ten, and it's a fun party song. Not all of Bill's party songs have to be super annoying, sometimes they can be bops. The bops make you lower your defenses. So when he drops a What Does The Fox Say? down the line, you're completely blindsided. Yes, it will be on here.

Viva La Vida - Coldplay - A human Bill song if I ever heard one. Another fairly basic choice, but again, I don't think it's a HUGE stretch to tie it to him. Plus again, insert that Top Forty Hits quote from Dipper here. They're in the top forty for a reason, they're CATCHY.

Eurobeat Brony - Discord (Remix) - Yeah.

Alina - When You Leave [Numa Numa] [Basshunter Radio Mix] - I told you this song was going to be all over the playlist. And we still haven't gotten to the original yet. Also fun fact; there was originally another version of the song before this one, but upon a relisten I was like 'Hmm, nah, it's good but I don't know if it's got that Bill energy.' Yes, I can and do compare Dragostea Din Tei covers for my Bill Cipher playlist like I'm comparing paint swatches at Home Depot. It's that important to me.

Switchfoot - Dare You To Move - I have no excuses for putting a song from a psuedo-Christian rock band on my Bill Cipher playlist outside of the sheer nostalgia factor, and I can't even pretend it's a one-off thing because there's another one of their songs further down the list. But CONSIDER; the Axolotl singing it to him. That's all I'm going to say. I will not apologize.

BB Cooper - Blame - To me, this is one of those songs about the feelings Bill probably tries to drown in lies. I realize it's a stretch, because we know he wouldn't actually stop and self-reflect in the way that the song does.

But at the same time...I could easily see someone making an animatic set to this song with Pre-Second-Dimension-Destruction Bill at the beginning and it switches to present-day Bill for the second half. I see the vision, even if I realize Bill would try his hardest NOT to see it.

Either that or he'll interpret it as a 'You see? I'm not the villain here. My tragic past is the real reason I'm like this.' song. But you know, there's always that thin thread that's tied to his past, before everything unfolded as it did. Where at some point, he really and truly wasn't to blame. Alas.

They Might Be Giants - Particle Man - Heehee hoohoo triangle man.

Tom Cardy (ft. Montaigne) - Red Flags UNO REVERSE - I added these two in reverse order, oops. Oh, well. I feel like it adds to the chaos.

Tom Cardy (ft. Montaigne) - Red Flags - Of course. Sidenote but this song is physically impossible to sing out loud in public unless you want some WEIRD looks from people.

Hudson Mohawke - Cbat - Tell me he wouldn't love this garbage.

Circus Music - Just circus music. Because he's a massive clown.

Earth Wind & Fire - Boogie Wonderland - Just a fun song, especially for parties.

Nicki Minaj - Super Bass - It feels so wrong to think of a party mix without it, and I feel like Bill would agree.

Toby Fox - Your Best Friend and Toby Fox - Your Best Nightmare - These two are tied together in that order, for pretty obvious reasons.

Simple Plan - I'm Just A Kid - I bounced back and forth with myself before eventually taking Teenagers by MCR off the playlist. I'm not doing that with this song. It just...it feels Bill, you know?

Maybe specifically my version of him, but also can't you imagine your own version of him blasting this at the age of like, fourteen? Am I wrong? I don't feel like I'm wrong. Also I might add Teenagers back onto the list, he needs more of those angsty teen songs.

Darude - Sandstorm - It's a meme, it's funny, it'd be a blast at parties.

Flo Rida ft. Kesha - I wouldn't count this as a Kesha song but also I could easily see them bumping it in the Fearamid.

Sia - Chandelier and Toad - Chandelier - Once again, a two-for-one special. I feel like Bill would enjoy both for various reasons. He can interpret it as just another party song, while ignoring the obvious darker implications behind the song of masking your true pain and emotions through a wild and reckless lifestyle. He'd probably love to get as literal as possible with it and try swinging from a chandelier. The Toad once is ear-splitting annoying. I think they fit

Florence and the Machine - Cosmic Love - This one is just for Mina. That's the only reason it's here.

Weird Al - Polka Face - Funny Weird Al song.

Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby - Drake suggested this one and it was right. I laughed and added it, then proceeded to get jumpscared by it when I shuffled the playlist this morning. So that was funny. Go, white boy, go.

Tim Rothrock & Jim Wise - Goofy Goober Rock - More Drake suggestions (this and the other Spongebob songs, along with a few others down the line), and this makes me smile extra hard because I've been in such a Spongebob mood lately :)

Spongebob - Jelly Fish Jam (4 Hour Edition) - Yes, the 4-hour edition specifically. If you're not jamming as much as the jellyfish did in the episode, you're doing something wrong.

Spongebob - Sweet Victory - Of course. Gotta honor the classics.

Weird Al - NOW That's What I Call Polka! - Another one of my personal favorite Weird Al polka mashups.

LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem - Would Bill be Team Party Rockers or Team Party Rock Is?

Cutting it off here because this playlist has over a hundred songs so far and I'm only at...57. How fun for me personally to stop there for the first part. Anyway, expect the next part in a bit.

#Reblogs Self #Bill Playlist #Long Post #God what a goofy list #I still stand by it #I did remove some songs that I felt like I couldn't even explain away with 'they're just fun party songs'#But I like this list so far
