i kept feeling offended at the lower rankings, but then i realized wait a sec all the songs are just really good lol

I agree with most of this, I would just swap When My Worlds at Stake and Caulk your Wagon.

i think you missed the hatchetfield ape man from ep 1 lol

Noooo not snoozle townnnnnn (finally some appreciation for the Blinky song tho)

Controversial is right, this is ass lmfao

FINALLY SOME BLINKY SONG APPRECIATION

Wow this was pretty controversial. I don't think I've ever seen someone like the Blinky song so much.

1:40 (ignore me, I just like the "Darkness will spare my soul" part)

Im glad to see im not a complete outlier in my dislike of Just for Once, it's dead last for me too. However i CANNOT believe you put the summoning that low its my favourite 😂

Show stopping number seriously is WAAAAY too long, but its fun so idk. Id give it higher than F but def not the A-S people claim it to be

CaliforM.I.A being #6 is the only placing on this list that seems right to me. Everything else is just so off imo

The talking is def a fair point of the summoning but I think one of the things I love about the song (beyond cool harmonies at the start) is it uses the hatchetfield motif so well. The summoning and then Nerdy Prudes/Dirty Dudes must die feel by far the strongest when it comes to instrumentals and carrying the shows theme.

If I'm honest, NPMD has by far the weakest music out of the hatchetfield musicals. The music and lyrics overall were just not as fine tuned and mostly forgettable. It felt like most of the singers were not used to their full advantage or even put at a disadvantage from how the music was written (Namely Angela and then also moments like when Curt and Corey sing together in Go Go Nighthawks). Several of the songs feel like early drafts that could have been reworked or honestly scrapped and while I really like parts of some, none of them had remotely the same emotional intensity as songs like Let It Out, Black Friday, Or What If Tomorrow Comes. I'm all for funny and unserious moments but NPMD lacks the contrasting moments and the heartfelt grounding that really let the other two shine. Even the characters felt weaker as a whole.

I absolutely love Dirty Dudes Must Die for the last 30 seconds or so but the main chunk of it feels clunky and also was not suited to Angela's voice. I know Angela can sing well but this entire show felt like it did her a disservice

The summoning at 12 is criminal

ngl best of you sounds like a 2010 disney movie ending song (still like it)

9:13 I KNEW IT!! I knew 'Kick It Up A Notch!' was going to be #1. It's mine too.

Yeah Dirty Dudes must die is definitely overratted

So glad I’m not the only one that can’t get into just for once. Definitely for a lot of the reasons other people are saying, but my two big things are that it feels really out of place vibe wise, which I get that it’s supposed to be Ruth singing a song from a different musical, but to have it also be her I wasn’t song at the same time kind just alienates her story somehow. I also think (and this is a REALLY unpopular opinion XD) that it wasn’t the right song for Lauren. The big culmination moment where she’s singing “Just for once.. just for oooooonce” just doesn’t hit right cause where it sits in her register is what I would assume is the break between her mix/chest voice and her head voice so it comes out super fluffy and it just doesn’t really match the moment.

this list is so insane to me

i agree with your ranking of Just for Once but not because i think its bad, because i think its way too long and unneeded to the plot line. it felt like they just wanted to give lauren a song tbh. in another musical it would be great and i guess its SUPPOSED to be in another musical but they couldve made it a lot shorter cuz it got a bit boring and repetitive. literally a minute in i was like "okay bring max in now idc" despite the fact that lauren slays. it also makes me wish that richie got his own soliloquy too :(((

Not the best ranking but I don’t like any of Peter and Steph’s songs. I think they’re boring 🥱 but you’re top two songs and dirty girl was your saving grace.

I agree with Just for once a lot. I just can't get into the theming or story because the singing is intentionally bad. It sucks because so many people really like it and I just can't enjoy it

I love just for once, I personally think it's super pretty

Me: Okay, just going to keep an open-mind and see what the rankings are like.... (See 'Black Friday' rated last) Me: I'M OUT!!!!! Edit #1: (3-5 attempts to watch the video): Take Me Back is rated as B-Tier song?! Okay nevermind (between 6:05-6:46),... But seriously nice ranking video. Keep it up 😉👉 Edit #2: Also Monsters and Men Reprise, Califor.M.I.A., Decks The Halls and FEAST OR FAMINE IN YOUR A-LIST TIER!! YEP, ALL'S GOOD!! Once again great.

Our Doors are Open and Feast or Famine being as high as they are was definitely deserved, but Black Friday's ranking definitely hurt my soul a little bit.

3:10 They say "jock", not "job" :^

Just For Once LAST!!?!??! :(

This is the best ranking out there so far

i was very horrified at putting Literal Monster so low, but then i saw the Reprise at #1 yes ur so right

first off, I actually agree with this so much omg secondly, idk why but the cut at 5:37 killed me lmaooo

the only good opinion in this ranking is inevitable being first

Just started but you’re already putting some of my faves at the bottom, Black Friday in last is kinda insane ngl Feat or famine is my favorite so at least that made it high 🤩

Very controversial indeed but also it's such a real tier list AND JOIN US (AND DIE) APPRECIATION LET'S GOOO🗣🔥🔥

Lol not my favorite song from this musical being last place

The Next Day- This person was never seen again after posting a controversial video about the rankings of “The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals.” Police speculate that this person is either dead or in hiding.

LOOOVE ths starship rep, kinda mad at Get Back Up Again at 7 but i cant complain, love the ranking ❤❤❤

THE DISRESPECT OF PUTTING WHEN THE WORLDS AT SACK SO LOW I COULD NEVER-

I love that everyone in the comments disagres with this ranking but ive never felt so seen by a tgwdlm list before. Love the ranking, keep it up!!!!!!!!

i can only agree with you gotta go

life in last was definitely a choice but i’m glad to see hideous creatures in 5th 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Life in last IS controversial. Love the video tho ❤

L ranking IMO, even after the first one. However youre allowed to have your opinions :D

The simple fact that I agree with you on several songs is funny.

you gotta go is a pretty song for about 3 lines and then the dysentery comes in and i just. can't with it after that point

I try to respect peoples opinions but you're makin it really hard on me when the last place is "you gotta go". I just don't get how

Come on my man, Black Friday was great, it doesn't deserve last place

I gotta say i wholeheartedly disagree with all of these placements

It's in almost the exact opposite order of what i wouldve put it in. Theres a couple i agree with though. What do you want paul and the guy who didn't like musicals aren't great.

Immediately controversial. Putting working boys last is INSANE.
