#ranking starkid songs

[atticcreationz]

this has been hanging out in my drafts for a while coz I wanted to update it with NPMD songs but I have since lost the link to the tier maker and am too lazy to make it from scratch again sooooo here's an incomplete tier list of Starkid Villain Songs

[thewhizzyhead]

oki but like merging "Cool As I Think I Am" and "If I Loved You" in the reprise is like fucking genius tbh like I am genuinely impressed by how both of the arcs explored in both songs were summed up neatly in the reprise in a sense that Pete finds his solid sense of identity and a big reason for that is Steph loving him despite not readily admitting it LIKE "If I really really did love you, you'd have to say-" "I know." ESPECIALLY WITH THE MAIN MESSAGE OF "IF I LOVED YOU" BEING THAT OF THE TWO DENYING THEIR FEELINGS FOR ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE THEY'D MAKE IT SUPER DAMN CLEAR TO THE OTHER IF THEY DID HAVE THEM SO WITH PETE SAYING THAT HE KNOWS AND WITH HIM LETTING STEPH KNOW HE DOES LOVE HER BACK BY BEING WILLING TO TAKE THE BULLET FOR HER LIKE FJSJDJAFJSJD

My INCREDIBLY controversial Hatchetfield song ranking.

[Nightmare Time Excluded.]

���puts Black Friday in the bottom tier’ spare me my life, spare me my life please :D /ref

Oh, if you thought MINE was bad, here’s my best friends. /lh

[weltato]

This is up for a week too, share with your friends, tell me in the tags what the "other song" is!

[happistar]

Hello! I've been seeing a lot of polls in the tags asking people's favorite songs from Hatchetfield, but it got me thinking whether if a specific option was absent what people might jump to next. What songs are most common to be 2nd or even 3rd favorites rather than all time favorites?

So, I wanted to conduct a more thorough survey of everything (all 3 musicals, both seasons of Nightmare Time, and the Workin' Boys short) plus a couple bonus questions.

If you haven't seen something, don't stress out either. There will also be options to mark that you haven't seen something.

After a week or so I'll eventually make a follow up post with my findings :)

If any of y'all could also share this post around for more responses, that'd be pretty cool, but absolutely no pressure!

[caruliaa]

sorry to report to the people but dirty girl is actually. very good

[the-irrelevant-trumpeter]

okay no one asked but i am doing it anyway because this is my tumblr and i do what i please! you are in my house!!!

anyway avhscc song ranking. purely based off of the song, not the performance from the show (so basically it’s by how much i like listening to it on spotify). all of them are absolute bangers, so being lower on the list doesn’t mean i dislike it. also this is only my opinion, so we can all be chill and not judge each other over silly things like the songs we like (which is something the sk fandom struggles with btw).

8. christmas day. banger ofc but a lot of it is just the other melodies, and the bit of it that is original music i’m just not super fussed on.

7. i’m the ghost. performance is iconic (ty jaime lyn beatty 🙏) but the song itself is a little bit more boring than the others.

6. three spirits. kinda same as above, the song itself is just not as standout as the rest.

5. bah humbug. this shows how good the entire soundtrack is, because this is such a good song and i love it a lot.

4. priceless. very much a bop. slightly cringey, which is why i love it, but it’s also the reason i don’t listen to it as much as the top 3.

3. christmas electricity. super fun and super iconic and super duper good. if this was factoring in performance, it would probably be number 1, because it’s so fun on stage. thank you for your service james tolbert.

2. the final ghost. literally obsessed with this song. from the very first notes you can tell it’s gonna be banging. what else can i say.

1. IF I MET YOU TODAY DO YOU THINK THAT ID STILL CATCH YOUR EYE? WOULD YOU STILL WALK MY WAY, OR PASS ME BYYYYY?

in case you didn’t get it, my number 1 song is that scrooge. britney coleman your hand in marriage please.

[thewhizzyhead]

before I sleep, here is my definitive ranking on all the NPMD songs and some rambles on why I placed them there - also the ranking is based on how much I vibe with them (music production and lyricism have different rankings)

1. Hatchet Town (aka the hatchetfield trilogy theme song like this tune perfectly encapsulates the chaos Hatchetfield has to go through with every Starkid project pos-2018 and I love it - kinda wish it was a number that is more integrated with the plot with the kids tho BUT I REALLY DID LIKE that this melody was quite prominent in the other songs too)

2. High School is Killing Me (I've watched many teen centered musicals and believe me when I say that this song is one of, if not, the best introduction numbers out there for this genre - also it's a really great opening hook for a show)

3. Nerdy Prudes Must Die (FUCKING AMAZING HONESTLY - amazing way to REALLY re-establish a villain back from the dead and to establish the main theme for the nerds here: "I'm Not A Loser" (tho i fucking wish that motif was used a bit more))

4. Just For Once (everyone cheer for Lauren Lopez flexing not just her high tier soprano skills, but also how amazing of a fucking actor she can be like the concept of this song is quite layered and to pull it off both comedically and emphatically takes great lyrical and acting prowess)

5. The Summoning (a well-anticipated onstage introduction to all 5 of the LiB that balances out befuddling neon-entertainment with genuine fucking menace)

7. Cool As I Think I Am Reprise (A FUCKING GENIUS REPRISE I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW COOL I FIND THEM RECONTEXTUALIZING THE OG SONG AND IF I LOVED YOU TO FIT THE SITUATION AND BOTH OF THE CHARACTERS GROWTH. LIKE IN TERMS OF THEMATIC IMPLICATIONS WITH CHARQCTER DEVELOPMENT, THIS SONG AND ITS SCENE WOULD BE THE TOP)

6. If I Loved You (I think this song could be a bit more honestly like I know how much Starkid has explored Steph and Pete's relationship in their other projects and I was really hoping that they would have it more portrayed here - however the song is a bop nonetheless and it matches neatly with their themes and the harmonies are top tier. I placed this higher than the next just due to my personal bias like I really do like the song)

8. Dirty Dudes Must Die (A GREAT TWIST THAT MAKES ME WANT ANOTHER MUSICAL ABOUT GRACE CHASITY'S DERANGED SELF - also the new context of the song Grace is reprising here makes her a villain even scarier than MAX of all people but that's just me)

9. Literal Monster (A very catchy beat and well structured song that provides a good introduction to a jock-bully with the god complex. also kinda foreshadowing to nerdy prudes must die)

10. Cool As I Think I Am (the instrumentation reminded me of Dear Evan Hansen ngl fjsjd but it really does sound like an I-Want song from a teen-musical which is of course what they are going for - it sounds very nice and earnest though and I loved how it was utilised in the reprise. However I still fucking wish that the I'm Not A Loser motif was used more)

11. Dirty Girl (look I'm sorry for ranking this quite low on the list but like there is no fucking way I'm using this as bait to lure other people in like they'd be scared away I'm sorry fjdjs BUT I love how Will and Angela perform this though like top tier starkid performances ever - its not just what I would listen to on repeat personally jgjdjs)

12. Go Go Nighthawks! (This one gets plus points because of FUCK YOU CLIVESDALE GO GET FUCKED. otherwise its nice and cheery and perfectly shows how happy everyone is without Max but um I kinda wish it could be a bit more especially in terms of showing how happy the other nerds are now that Max is gone but that's just me)

13. Bully The Bully + Bury The Bully (Look I couldn't decide which was better like they both are the same melodies so like gjxjs these two are cute though and I liked seeing the 5 kids bonding in Bully The Bully since we don't get that many scenes with them)

14. The Best Of You (the pop-punk happy number is a staple of teen-centered musicals and it does really sound nice - just isn't that much of a standout compared to the others.)

[aliceisaperson]

For me the top three is

1. Nerdy Prudes Must Die (like actually my jaw dropped the first time I saw the proshot version)

2. Happy Ending (the fact that Ja’far and Aladdin’s verse’s here are the same song is insane, I love it)

3. Status Quo (It’s just amazing enough said)

alright Starkid fans, be honest, give it to me straight-

no Potter musicals or TGWDLM cause they don't have act 1 closers :P

[startedwellthatsentence]

Was watching a Starkid compilation, and a bunch of us aces were in the comments talking about how much we enjoyed Dirty Girl as a song. On the other hand, I’ve seen a lot of presumably-allo NPMD song rankings where it’s ranked SO LOW because they can’t stand it. So I wanted to do an informal survey.

(Couldn’t decide which screen cap to use so you get both)
