🎤 Ranking The Last Songs From ICONIC Disney Channel Musicals ❤
Let's celebrate this week by ranking the LAST songs that play when the finales roll around in some of our favorite Disney Channel Musicals!
To say creating this list was insanely difficult would be a HUGE understatement! It was sooooo hard and had my brain running in circles all week! But, I finally have it down pact... well, I hope!
In this list, you won't find all of the Disney Channel Musicals because there are some I have never seen and don't plan on watching due to certain elements in the movies. But, you will find ALL the nostalgic ones, plus a couple of newer ones I did watch and enjoyed!
So, are you ready for this?!? Because BAMM 🧟... I had a BREAKTHROUGH 🍋 finalizing this list! It was either ALL FOR ONE 🎤 or ONE FOR ALL 📣... but really WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER 🐾 Crazy how we all live in different parts of this ONE WORLD 💃 and we're all rocking out to the same music because WE ROCK 🎸 It's like we're all a part of a real HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 🤍 and THIS IS OUR SONG 🔥
So, are you ready CHEETAH SISTERS and brothers? 🐆
It's time for some song rankings!! ❤
❤🎤❤🎤❤🎤❤
(from least to most favorite)
#11 - Breakthrough (Lemonade Mouth)
I do really like this song, but it didn't hit like the others on this list, and that's why sadly it's last. It is fun to see how far the band came during the movie to end up on stage at Madison Square Garden! The energy is definitely there and they are totally in their element performing on stage! The rapping parts in this song and Determinate make the Lemonade Mouth songs even more unique! This song is all about moving on from a difficult moment and finding your breakthrough! Take a listen... 🍋↓
#10 - This Is Our Song (Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam)
It's the "NA'S" for me!! ♪ This song is more on the slower side, but it works perfectly for a campfire setting! I put this low on the list because it's shorter than most and also has some interruptions that chop up the song a bit. However, my favorite part is after all of the talking parts in between when they start singing the "Na's" again and this time EVERYONE joins in and it's like a chorus of "Na's" which is BEAUTIFUL! Okay, I have to stop typing now because we have to listen to this mellow song that makes you want to snuggle up next to a campfire and watch this scene... 🔥↓
#9 - One World (The Cheetah Girls: One World)
As a kid, I never really gave this song or even this movie a chance. However, I've come to really enjoy the third movie's songs... this one included! This song is all about coming together and discovering we're all connected because we all share this one world. I love that this song talks about celebrating life together with music! Music is something universal that we all connect to, even if we speak different languages and come from different cultures! I love how vibrant this scene is and my favorite part is when the guys do their little dance number while singing the pre-chorus! Let's share our love for this song together by hitting play... 🌎↓
#8 - BAMM (Block Party Reprise - ZOMBIES)
This song would be sooo much higher on this list if only it was longer! Why can't it be longer?!? 😢 I love how bright this scene is! The best part is seeing the two sides come together. Zed and Addison even switch sides during this scene! Zed dances on the cheerleaders side and Addison dances with the zombie crew! It's so sweet seeing them support each other by immersing themselves in each others culture. This a perfect ending scene because the song BAMM is a much needed repeat song and seeing everyone join in is awesome and shows how much progress was made throughout the movie! Like I said, this would be a lot higher if it was the full song, but it's enjoyable to watch nonetheless! Also, Addison's fit is super cute and so is Eliza's! Their outfits also show change in their characters, which is fun! Check it out... 🌸↓
I haven't listened to this song in a long time and have just realized how sweet the lyrics are! It's all about sharing how music takes you to a place where you know you belong! I mean, how relatable is that?!? Music creates our own little world inside of us where we can be free to express our emotions and belong. These are some of my favorite lyrics... ↓
The reason it's at number seven is because the choreography seems a bit messy here and there and at the beginning some of the first lyrics timing doesn't add up well to the beat playing behind them. But, imperfections make it more raw, so in a way I like them! The only way I can describe this song is saying the word sweet a thousand times! So, prepare to get a toothache watching this scene... 😉↓
#6 - All For One (High School Musical 2)
A word to describe this song... FUN! It's an upbeat, energized bop! It throws in some classic 60's dance moves like "The Pony" and "The Swim", which definitely brings the summer vibes! The High School Musical movies have some of the BEST dance numbers because they're put together so well and they bring ALL the energy! Seriously, when you watch this scene you can't tell me it doesn't make you want to get up and dance! Not only that, but a lot of HSM songs use the word "celebrate" in them and you know I'm all about the celebrating! These lyrics could literally describe the meaning behind my blog's title... ↓
Let's celebrate today
'Cause there'll never be another
It's not about the future
It's not about the past
It's making every single day
Last and last and last
Such encouraging and positive lyrics... I LOVE it!! I'm sure you love this song too! So, let's watch it and love it together... 💙↓
#5 - One For All (ZOMBIES 2)
Isn't it cool how the HSM 2 song is called "All For One" and this one is titled "One For All"?!? It's destiny that they're placed back-to-back on this list! It was hard at first to decipher between the two which one was going to go above the other, but this one has a bit more flare to it and it's set at a dance and if you've read my blog post where I ranked nostalgic school dance episodes from some of my favorite tv shows, then you'd know I LOVE dance settings where everyone is all dressed up and looking sharp and ready to party... and in this case, ready to break-out into song! My absolute favorite part of this song is when each group (the cheerleaders, zombies, and werewolves) does their own dance, except Addison joins the Zombies in theirs and Eliza joins the werewolves! This song is all about unity and some of my FAVORITE lyrics are actually the first ones... ↓
We are all different, baby
But that's what I like
We're separate but we're together
Like stars in the sky
We got a good thing going on
Yeah, nobody has to feel alone
This song is a vibe all on it's own! Let's watch it... ↓
#4 - Amigas Cheetahs (The Cheetah Girls 2)
Do you know what I just realized?!? In my previous blog post, The Cheetah Girls 2 opening song placed 4th on the list and here it is again being placed 4th on this list with it's finale song! Coincidence? I think not! I LOVE this scene and song soooo much because of one thing... THE BARCELONA FLARE!! I could go on and on and on about how much I love that this movie is set in Barcelona, but that would take over this whole post. So, I'll stick with saying that I LOVE the Latin vibe of this song and how it even has some Spanish incorporated in it with Marisol's character. Speaking of Marisol, I love that this song brings in the majority of the other characters featured in the movie like Angel, Marisol, and Joaquin with his dance crew! My absolute favorite part is when Joaquin and his dance company friends start dancing down the aisle to the stage and the Latin beat picks up and everyone starts dancing on stage together! Mwah 😘... perfection! I can't wait to watch it all over again... 🎺↓
#3 - Cheetah Sisters (The Cheetah Girls)
It was so tough deciding between this song and "Amigas Cheetahs", but this one speaks to my younger-self and brings me back to my childhood! This is an iconic Disney Channel song, for sure! This song is a special one because it's all about realizing that our differences make us stronger and about forming a bond that is unbreakable! These lyrics speak for themselves... ↓
Cause we are sisters, we stand together.
We make up one big family,
Though we don't look the same.
Our spots are different, different colors.
We make each other stronger,
That ain't never gonna change
We're cheetah girls, Cheetah sisters.
Man, these lyrics are just something else! There's honestly not much else to say because like I said, this song speaks for itself... 🐾↓
#2 - High School Musical (High School Musical 3: Senior Year)
My younger-self would have been soooo shocked to find this as number two on this list!! I wasn't the biggest fan of the third movie as a kid and I'm still not as into it as the first two movies. However, not too long ago, I listened to ALL of the HSM songs (hint at some posts to come 😉) and found I really like this one... like A LOT!! It definitely has a more theatrical vibe to it, but that makes it stand-out more! It's such a fun scene to watch too! I mean, they're graduating and once they throw their caps in the air, the whole field turns into one huge celebration! Did you catch that word again?!? Celebration is big in the HSM world! This song is so fun and the beat never get old! My favorite part is when they all join hands at the end and start to skip to where the curtains will close... is anyone else getting teary-eyed?!? Seriously, this song is like a goodbye song to all of the memories we had growing up with these movies! Like Sharpay sings in this song... ↓
But someday, we'll be lookin' back, memories we've have
All the songs that we lived through
The best of times
So why leave them behind? (Behind)
The songs that we lived through... does it get any better than those lyrics?!? Okay, I need to stop now because I don't have any tissues near me! 💓🎓↓
Are you ready for my number one pick?!?
Are you sure you're ready?
Okay, since you're ready, here it goes...
Drum roll please... 🥁🥁
#1 - We're All In This Together (High School Musical)
Is anyone surprised this is my number one choice? Yeah, me neither! I wasn't surprised at all when creating this list that this was my number one finale song! I mean, it's a childhood classic! 💓 I even remember when I was six and kids at my elementary school did a "flash mob" to this song at the end of the talent show... awwww memories!! I LOVE this song and it's definitely a favorite of mine from the HSM franchise! The whole thing is so well choreographed and everyone's school spirited red and white outfits are amazing! Again, this song spreads the cheer of celebrating... this time with Troy singing, "Here and now, it's time for celebration!" Yes, Troy. Yes, it is. It is time for celebration! So, what are we waiting for?!? Let's play this incredible song!! 💓🏀↓
❤🎤❤🎤❤🎤❤
