[@pinkinthenight]

tell me i'm okay patrick is underrated

[@muibehn]

It could be, I'm only 43% sure.

[@ligiabonfanti3493]

Totally

[@wiltonater]

Seth Green is an under appreciated actor/comedian

[@jonesy_5498]

@@muibehn Haha true reference

[@AshtonishingJelly]

​@@muibehn😂👍

[@katiekawaii]

How are there not five million comments calling out "It Was a S*** Show"?! That's one of the best songs from any musical ever.

[@helenarosno]

Omg you’re right, I teared up during that😭

[@ruaoneill9050]

How can a song like that make me cry and feel so hard and also it's absolutely ridiculous but it's also true and fucken heartbreaking?!?!?!?

[@julie-kk5kf]

@@ruaoneill9050 right ?? THE END when Greg doesn't finish his sentence, it feels so emotional and it was the best choice to make him just stop talking

[@nocturnalya7562]

Its a great song you are right!

[@Sarah-lj1fy]

True

[@TheMajsinka]

I don't know why but I can't get over 'I could if I wanted to'... probably it's my lifelong earworm

[@christinelovesseals8297]

Maja Kolar SAME

[@Atuchy]

YES

[@pacificostudios]

"I Could, If I Wanted To" is one of many CXG songs that could have been a radio hit. I'm not sure why The CW didn't do more to get CXG songs on the radio.

[@sassypants7536]

Honestly, The Sexy Getting Ready Song is forever one of my favourites. It's what got me into the series and just always makes me laugh so hard.

[@josephcorridon9314]

The post episode gag with him apologising to women hes put in his videos is what convinced me to keep watching. "We can discuss the second sex by Simone de Bouvoir"

[@abimbolaolayinka7803]

It is an oldie but a goodie indeed! I agree that it always makes me laugh!

[@kamilebeluzyte1647]

I just cannot choose a favourite song, but I know that Santa Ana Winds is the catchiest and is still irreversibly stuck in my head.

[@katykatarsis]

YES

[@vandelupinehof9577]

This is so true. And thank you now it has started again!! 🤣

[@ALunarLight]

My 3 1. You ruined everything . (My name is rebecca) 2. sexy getting ready song that ending 3. Strip away my conscience? hp reference lol

[@JessyJ318]

ALunarLight omg yes!!! 🙌🏻

[@itmedana]

god the applause when she said settle for me made me so happy

[@koukaorilove]

GETTING BI. I always link it to people when they misrepresent bis

[@kimbierkens3256]

THATS MY ANTHEMM

[@TigerPrawn_]

SEEING A CLIP OF THIS SOG MADE ME WATCH THE WHOLE SERIES

[@frecklemaggie]

I always have "I Give Good Parent" in my head. SO GOOD

[@HenwenBC]

No One Else Is Singing My Song will forever hold a dear place in my heart because I just think it's so emotional and coupled with What's Your Story they make up my favourite episode. However, the ones that I still sing far too often are Dream Ghost and We Tapped That Ass

[@lucymichel9409]

omfg what's your story is THE BEST and THE WORST

[@brunosaporito8774]

Anti-Depressants is one of my favorites, specially in the concert where Scott participates on the tapping routine. But I also love Math of love triangles and Settle for me

[@naznimation]

bruno saporito yes same

[@morbidsearch]

It's both an honour and a crime that Anti-Depressants was the only cxg song to win an Emmy

[@Mooncakeslut]

I have a massive love/hate relationship with I gave you a UTI - it's so stupid but so catchy

[@Thedaisyjaynes]

Me too, I think because it’s factually incorrect it bugs me because all the other songs are so sophisticated!

[@Gal2100]

My boyfriend always sings it to me, if I have a uti

[@lealalu7390]

How is it factually incorrect?

[@gemstonerose4648]

That is probably my favourite song. It's just a 3am dancing in my room kinda song, it always puts me in a good mood.

[@pippylunalove]

And Santino sings it so beautiful but it such an odd topic, but its sooo good.

[@BTZombie88]

Stuck in the Bathroom is a favorite that I don’t often see mentioned. I LOVED that it was such a random Trapped in the Closet spoof and I love Vella Lovell’s voice.

[@lucymichel9409]

This song is so pointless and yet somehow SO POIGNANT AND POWERFUL. Vella's voice is perfection for this type of weird spoken voice 80's drama.

[@sunsetsbymidnights]

Please upload the whole panel SOON PLEASE DEAR GOD

[@pineappleprism1852]

Did they ever?

[@samesame8]

Don’t be a lawyer also lit.🤣

[@ALu-nq8rf]

After Everything You Made Me Do made me go "NOW THAT'S HOW YOU DO A REPRISE!"

[@glorialoreto]

My favorites: 1. Whitout love you can save the world 2. Let's generalize about men 3. I have friends 4. West Covina 5. A shit show 6. I hate everything but you

[@gaetanocalagna382]

The DUST paid to "We'll Never Have Problems Again"

[@ALu-nq8rf]

Aww! Scott's answer was so cute! He's like, I have so much fun when we're all together. 💕

[@HatsuneMaddie]

My favourite is 'a diagnosis'. It's so uplifting and I will always wanna vibe to it.

[@zagorskaewelina]

yep, I love it, too. Also, it feels so relatable, since I was diagnosed with autism a year ago and I love the feeling of "having my people with the same issues".

[@allisonlala2092]

@@zagorskaewelina I just found out last year that I’m autistic. This song has gotten me through most of that haha. I think a diagnosis will forever be my favorite song

[@zagorskaewelina]

@@allisonlala2092 Congrats on your diagnosis! Hope you are feeling at ease about it now! Luckily, there is more and more autism awareness nowadays and it is not that difficult to find at least an online community 😊

[@katekay]

My favourite is the ‘after everything I’ve done for you that you didn’t ask for’ ones

[@ciram9082]

My top 3 would be... 1. Rebecca's Reprise from the finale of S2. It's a heartbreaking, real moment made up of a lot of other important moments Rebecca had imagined where she's being honest with herself for once. 2. Oh my God I think I like you - the humor and the honesty... And I relate to the lyrics, lmao 3. It was a shitshow - again, heartbreaking, and I love how helpless the characters were right there - they loved each other but they couldn't do anything about it so they had to break up. ... But still, there are SO many other songs I adore from this show...

[@b12233]

Oh my god YES 100% the reprise. It breaks my heart every time I hear it and it's so so clever

[@kurlykpopfan8111]

“A Boy Band Made Up Of Four Joshes” will always be my favorite from the show! 😂😂😂 I also really love “Settle For Me”, “Good At Yoga”, “You Stupid Bitch”, “Put Yourself First”, “Stuck In The Bathroom”, and “Ping Pong Girl”, "Duh!". They’re all great songs tbh! I'm not finished with the show yet, so I'm excited to hear what else they have in store!

[@aliexiety]

YES Let’s Generalize About Men and Math of Love Triangles

[@joegunn8573]

for me the duet between becs and paula "you go first" hit me totally in the gut. fighting with somebody you love and wanting it to be over, except for this little stupid thing called pride. too real

[@ticktockbother6]

Feeling Kinda Naughty will always be my favorite

[@ksesob9705]

I love Darryl's songs the most, My sperm is healthy was absolutely genious and Having a few people over, as short as it is, made me laugh so much:D

[@pippylunalove]

I use to sing "maybe this dream" and "end of the movie" at work a lot and people would say "you're singing such a lovely song, you're always so happy" and I would laugh cause they clearly hadn't listened to the lyrics but just the melodies.

[@Nobody-qk4xu]

The first song, West Covina, i love it it got me instantly hooked with the show, indiscribable moment is so beautiful, remember that we suffered is so catchy, don't be a lawyer is a bop, feeling kinda naughty is funny, anti depressant are such not a big deal is really catchy too, getting bi is my bop.

[@Risingson2]

The most emotional one for me is "No one is singing my song" because it blends the love for music and the feeling of loneliness you sometimes have when you obsess over music, and I sang "Settle for me" and "I go to the zoo" too many times in the shower. But probably my favourite is "Anti depressants", a shiny sunny escapist moment that the series deserved, a kind of variation of "West Covina" but without the dark moment, just people being happy to be able to share their treatment with others.

[@fateandnickel]

My top three 1. Settle for me 2. Hey West Covina (What'll It Be?) 3. I Go To The Zoo

[@gxxvxnnx]

it's so much easier to say which are my less favorite ("duh!", "thought bubbles reprise", "makey makeover") bc i love every single song ???? the whole show is perfect, let's accept

[@NatiPeltz]

fit hot guys ftw!!!! but there are so many. i also think you go first doesn't get enough love

[@nicolasbloch4442]

Where's the bathroom was the moment I thaught "this is absolutely incredible" and really got me into the show (I liked the first episode but that was THE song, for me). Now, it is truly one of my favorite shows ever 😊

[@juliansmith4987]

I love how the actress that plays Paula loves the dress she wore from His Status Is Preferred that she's worn it multiple times.

[@zagorskaewelina]

OMG, when she sang this song was such an amazing example of how sexy a plus-sized woman can be! It blew my mind!

[@msfriendsfan4ever788]

For me it's Settle for me

[@mainie_videoediting]

I love how every commenter has a different favourite songs, goes to show how diverse and brilliant they all are.

[@tommakesthings6249]

I have an inexplicable soft spot for What'll it be, it's just the pinnacle of really good music and Santino's singing.

[@homestuck_official]

I'm aware that there's songs that have better writing but "my movement" has cemented itself as my favorite, never fails to make me laugh. Gabrielle's physical comedy does help

[@kurbaga4780]

I can't believe it's ending, I love everyone so much. Also mine is probably oh my god i think i like you

[@likimdvnbkr]

Settle for me and every single reprise it had was brilliant such a unique take on a heartfelt song

[@RecklessViolet]

I find myself tearing up in all of these last interviews...

[@themripley]

All of these choices were spot on. Literally all of my favourites.

[@arithefierysecretary6411]

"Settle for Me" is just perfection for me.

[@achilles7116]

My fave: -Every song Paula sings on her own -and the rest

[@margarida5571]

1000% agree with Pete, any and every song is my jam if its playing

[@flowerbit4137]

Villain In My Own Story, Never Have Problems Again, Settle For Me, The Moment is Me, The Math of Love Triangles, Lets Generalize About Men, and that group number from the second to last episode. I loveeeed that.

[@danleeworth]

''We should definitely not have sex right now'' was the best song. The instrumentation esp the heavy sax would make Sade proud.

[@Steezeeyy]

Ooh but what about Where's the bathroom?, You're my best friend (and I know I'm not yours), The buzzing from the bathroom and Whatcha missed while you were popular?

[@nawaal164]

They’re talking more about the songs they connected with like with good lyrics these songs while hilarious and good like all of them can’t really be taken seriously cuz you’d only like them for the catchy beat not the meaning

[@dutchyisa]

The math of love triangles No one else is singing my song Trapped in a car We never have problems again Without love The darkness The end of the movie I cant choose D:

[@wawawa0234]

I'm just so happy that Rachel mentioned "I'm the villain in my own story" because I remember liking it sooo much when I heard it for the first time but then I was surprised when I found out it wasn't the fan-favorite banger I thought it was among the rest of the audience. Like I sincerely believed I was the only person on Earth who had liked and remembered that song at all.

[@willowmurray2889]

I think my favorite would be greg's drinking song

[@cheekynandosss581]

AND THE BUSHHHHHHHHH

[@SarahsGotBigHair]

I puked on my cat my cat my cat

[@doodlebob9147]

I peed my pants my pants I peed my pants I get up from the bar to find pee down my pants

[@beckyanderton9937]

COULD IF I WANTED TOO 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 so relatable!!

[@teghansimon9985]

What’ll it be is my favorite

[@talytasbarcelos]

I love this show so much

[@heatherdee9667]

These are the ones that shuffle through my head atm: Season 1 theme song, West Covina, Settle for Me, I Gave You a UTI, My Sperm is Healthy, Dr. Akopian's antidepressant song, and Sports Analogies

[@oz2986]

WE NEED THE REST OF IT !!!! 😩

[@marleee.2174]

I do have to say one of my favorites is “I have friends” I don’t know why but it’s just super catchy and I kind of wish it was longer

[@jessieb7290]

“Don’t be a lawyer” “Settle for me” “No one else is singing my song” “The buzzing from the bathroom” “Real life fighting is awkward” “Santa Ana winds” The one with Gosh Groben 😂 “Get out of my house” “A boyband made up of 4Joshes” “I go to the zoo” “Let’s have intercourse” “The miracle of birth” “OMG I think I like you” “Greg’s drinking song” “I hate everything but you” So amazing in each songs creativity and it isn’t an easy thing to do. ❤❤❤❤

[@nihonarekun]

Don't be a lawyer is my new favorite!

[@chz4409]

My Top 5 1. Anti-depressants 2. Lets generalize about men 3. Santa ana winds 4. JAP Battle 5. Feelin kinda naughty who's with me?

[@aannnaavvv]

What'll it be No one else is singing my song We'll never have problems again Settle for me The math of love triangles I could if I wanted to Let's generalize about men Strip away my conscience Trapped in a car Gettin' bi ... I could go on and on seriously! By the way, there is another song on the way that was cut for length from season 4 episode 5! It's gonna have a video too

[@tommakesthings6249]

Oh my god someone else who loves what'll it be it's so underrated.

[@lyvpodda]

I begun to watch the show after I saw let's generalize about man on youtube so I choose this one. But I love lots of songs, for example Don't be a lawyer, I gave you a UTI and Let's have intercouse always make me laugh so hard.

[@AnnyHughes]

I Go To The Zoo just can’t be beaten

[@oliviablume5007]

[@katieglenn3047]

WHERES THE BATHROOM?!

[@acornsoundsquirrel]

I would watch 3 full hours of this

[@samanthasmith4471]

"Tapped that ass" is a banger 🤣

[@ehidnicus]

No One Else Is Singing My Song doesn't get nearly enough recognition in my opinion. It's definitely number one for me💜

[@zagorskaewelina]

Yes, I love it, too. Also, I am very happy that I know the everchanging rhytm enough to sing along :D

[@pacificostudios]

Donna, I noticed, focused on the period songs. Yeah, a perfect Take-That to "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" and Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers is going to live on, even when musical styles change.

[@hannahedoss9345]

I GO TO THE ZOO i’m obsessed

[@lucymichel9409]

Where's the bathroom Love Kernels (OMFG IT'S SO FUCKING GOOOD) After everything I've done for you I could if I wanted to

[@laurasgro9919]

Donna has excellent taste

[@idhungw]

I like the stuck in the car one. Just so funny

[@__________________________169]

Feeling kinda naughty has a special place in my heart

[@DA-vw1hu]

1. Let’s Have Intercourse. Love the dancing and Rachel’s facial expressions 2. I Hate Everything But You...because Skylar Astin 3. Tap That Ass was just sooo so good

[@liviafranco5367]

For me 1: Without love you can save the world 2: Let’s Have Intercourse 3: Let’s Generalize about men

[@theEmpress13]

My favorite is Ohmygod I Think I Like You 💯😍

[@Smugglenuglle]

I actually liked 'I hate everything but you' because it feels a bit nice to hear that someone likes you even if they hate everything and you're half of that everything.

[@lorcannagle]

Wow, the moire pattern from Gabrielle Ruiz' outfit is messing with my head.
