Starkid | Hatchetfield Songs Ranked (Nightmare Time Included)

I own none of the clips in this video. They all belong to Starkid Productions.

[@walrus9904]

me for every song: HOW IS THIS RANKED SO LOW *sees the next song* "oh"

[@TiaMat99]

we all need to bow down to Jeff. All these brilliant songs, so diverse in themes and genres, all of them absolute gold... came from 1 brain. HOW

[@josiedahlinghaus9406]

I like how we’ve all collectively decided that janes a car is just officially called got my foot on the gas

[@djwilson1993]

But then they didn’t even use “GOT MY FOOT ON THE GAS” for when it came up. Tbf I love the “feet on the dashboard” part of the song, but _everyone_ loves that first iconic lyric…

[@sashelliott1911]

I think I’m the only one who actually thinks Deck the Halls (of Northville High) is an absolute banger? The harmonies are so good, it’s one of the best songs in Black Friday imo

[@youcandoanythingwithakazoo555]

same, it's one of my favourites from BF

[@LasagnaTheArtist]

Agreed, it’s easily in my top 5 and maybe even my top 3 from that show

[@elizabethmorton3616]

Yes one of my favourites

[@veronicaelders4823]

Nope. 99% of lists I've seen rank Deck the Halls in top 5. It's hugely appreciated.

[@marthatitus5341]

I really like it too! I like the soundtrack version better tho cus the bass really comes through

[@ers6764]

It’s really a testament to Jeff’s amazingness that for every single song I was thinking wow this should be higher

[@LaChroniqueEdgy1816]

Even let him come

[@CeruleanTrafficlight]

Honestly whenever a list of SK songs starts with 'Let Him Come' it pretty much tells me the baseline is 'this is good but how many more shades higher of good can we go?'

[@IncorrectHB]

I always assumed it so low because its so short

[@whateveryouhearditwasntme4109]

Me to every song in the forties and thirties: nooooo that’s too lowwww

[@neera3167]

When Let Him Come is the last on the list, you can imagine what bops the others will be

[@abha7715]

If either Inevitable or Let It Out isn't first, I swear I will- Respect your opinion Edit: Like I said I would have respected your opinion if it wasn't either but since it was Let it Out I am not disappointed.

[@under_duck_622]

Wow, I have been thinking so much about Duck is Lord (and some of my usernames are the same) I thought I had written that for a moment and was confusion💫

[@HayLeesHomeMade]

Eh, i still respect the opinion, but Let It Out isn't my favorite. It's probably Show Stoppin Number for me, although close second is Poison Cup of Coffee, and like half a point lower than that is Roasted Cup of Coffee

[@abha7715]

@@HayLeesHomeMade aayo, whatever floats your boat, man. I very much enjoy all of the songs you mentioned and I am pretty sure Show Stopping Number was my number one for a long time as well.

[@TheBigSlap02]

You’re the only person brave enough to put “Show stopping number” that low. I fully agree that it is a fantastic song, but I definitely like some songs more than it. Although that does go to show how good the hatchetfield songs are

[@What-lt3lj]

Honestly the working boys bit ruins it. Show Stopping Number is one of the best songs Starkid has written. Working Boys is not. Especially not in the middle of that.

[@thegamingknight2096]

@@What-lt3lj but like, that's the joke. It's out of nowhere because the professor sticks it in there.

[@What-lt3lj]

@@thegamingknight2096 I get that that's the joke. It works great in the show. But as a song, in isolation, not so much.

[@lilliann9470]

I feel like everyone's favorite at first is "Show Stopping Number" but once you listen to the musicals more another song becomes your favorite. My favorite was "Show Stopping Number" but now my favorite (at least from tgwdlm) is "Let It Out/Inevitable", it depends on my mood though for either of them

[@nataliedraper926]

Wow I did NOT think Monsters and Men would be that low dang

[@nataliedraper926]

Ok all of these songs are gold I have no idea how you can rank them lol But fr can we take a moment to appreciate Jeff’s writing? Like he wrote ALL these songs! I mean he really did that

[@leahscarth2595]

If Feast or Famine isn’t first ima riot

[@kiki8792]

I have a feeling It will be like Inevitable or Let it out or one of those absolute masterpieces Edit: spelling

[@leahscarth2595]

This is also acceptable

[@starshiprangerbug42]

I keep on going "that one should be higher!" and I that shows how good all of the songs are. Good ranking :)

[@leahscarth2595]

Monsters and Men deserves so much better than this

[@februaryschneck]

It gets so much disrespect in the community, and it’s actually one of my top 3 Black Friday songs

[@greenishfrogs]

yeah lots of people seem to dislike it :(

[@roomy3759]

Yeah, I would join the army for it

[@What-lt3lj]

I hate it at first but it's now one of my favorites

[@professorrock4698]

It's my favorite

[@Rosey_Posey_]

this made me realize just how many songs from the hatchetfield series are straight bops

[@QuIqUe190m]

This list says a lot of how good all the songs in this series are, like multiple times I kept thinking this song could be higher but also oh, there's still this other song left I know this was such a difficult ranking to make

[@MadHymek323]

I keep thinking "Why is this song so low???" then seeing the next few on the list and going "damn these are all really good" Why are Monsters and Men, Show Me Your Hands and A Witch in the Web so low tho they need more appreciation

[@ice_wolfie]

WIGGLY JINGLE, DECK THE HALLS AND WHAT DO YOU WANT PAUL APPRECIATION WHEN

[@polypus1864]

Do you want to play is too low! Snoozletown is too low! Monsters and Men is too low! Monsters and Me Reprise is too low! What Tim Wants is too low! A Thousand Eyes is too low! Hatchetfield Ape Man is too low! If I Fail You is too low! Oh wait all the songs are amazing... ... Do you want to play is still ranked too low tho.

[@sarahnash1167]

All of these videos, if I fail you deserves so much better in my opinion. Not only is it beautifully composed/written, and Dylan’s vocals SLAP, it has so much depth and emotion to it that makes it such a stand out

[@shannonweiss7424]

monsters and men deserves more than this

[@RashaundaSpears]

Nightmare Time should be number 1, but that's just me.

[@randompotato6474]

Let him come slander right away smh

[@avitallichtenfeld813]

I’m just gonna add on to the Jeff appreciation here because damn he’s amazing

[@kellyrocheleau4660]

This is your daily reminder that the combined vocals of Dylan Saunders and Kim Whalen is one of the greatest sounds the planet Earth has ever produced. P.S. Thank you for giving Wiggle the proper recognition it deserves.

[@cadenerfvlogs2406]

JUSTICE FOR TIED UP MY HEART

[@gigirauchut1882]

I feel like I’m the only person who adores What Tim Wants

[@booklover8081]

That and if I fail you are both tied as my favorite Black Friday songs if I’m being honest.

[@bethanywilson5148]

All the songs that Dylan songs in Black Friday make me tear up! It definitely would have been way higher for me!!

[@nitebreak]

it’s one of my favorites

[@izzicooper4949]

"Got my foot on the gas" I'm cackling 😂😂

[@lunagebehart8663]

Ohhhhhh Tied up my heart hurt me! It's one of my favorite songs. Same for monsters and men! It just hurts

[@elliejeffery604]

sometimes i just think about the way that not only is curt now officially a starkid, but we also got blessed with kim at the same time.

[@gracehall9186]

Ok I respect your opinion about Monsters and men, but the clip you showed if it was angelic

[@_veronica_r]

My top 10 are: 10. Time Bastard 9. Made in America 8. Adore Me 7. America is Great Again 6. Hatchetfield Ape-Man 5. Show Me Your Hands 4. Let it Out 3. Forever and Always 2. Inevitible 1. Show Stopping Number

[@lemonace6695]

I was the only one who was completly in love with The Wich in the Web? It's such a chill and scary song at the same time.

[@mollypocrass4562]

I don’t get how everyone prefers the reprise of monsters and men to the original. Anyway, I respect your opinion and enjoy all your videos! Edit: Glad to see Inevitable in the top 5, it’s my favorite TGWDLM song!

[@mynameismaddymwah3178]

I want a full Northville musical😭😭

[@Ballin4Vengeance]

The movie with Santa as a teenager who wants to “reconnect with the youth” sounds too real and stupid to be made up

[@epicbee27]

I'm only a minute or so in and this is already saying a lot about how amazing all of these songs are, even the songs that are last are incredible 😁

[@definitelyhuman9234]

Jeff’s hair gives me life, especially the ponytail

[@katieoneill7808]

Okay I loved this video! Love the Inevitable and Let it Out appreciation here. The only thing I disagree with you on is your placement of Wiggly. Thank you for taking the time to make these rankings, I'm sure they are not quick to edit!

[@starkidpotteryt]

Thank you so much and yup lol they normally take 3-5 hours depending on the video or more so it does take a lot of time out of the day. But obviously I wouldn’t do these videos if I didn’t love it. 😊💕

[@iprobablydontlikeyou7416]

tied up my heart is an underrated boppppp

[@muppetenthusiast]

Let it out is such a bop

[@cantinothaveausername3739]

Amazing list! also respect and love for the man himself Jeff Blim writing all these beautiful songs

[@marthatitus5341]

I have had too much caffeine and I am doing the choreography to all of these XD

[@randompotato6474]

Why does no one seem to like A Thousand Eyes? It’s like my 2nd or 3rd fav nightmare time song :(

[@TiaMat99]

gotta admit, I wasn't a fan when I first heard it but it's really growing on me!

[@themoviecritic1092]

I loved it when I first heard it, such a good ending credit song

[@kellyrocheleau4660]

I feel you, super underrated.

[@oreganocity8960]

I will NOT stand for the constant you tied up my heart slander 😤😤😤

[@nintendplays3454]

it does make me kinda uncomfy in parts, but it slaps honestly

[@Ballin4Vengeance]

@@nintendplays3454 fullfills it’s purpose perfectly it seems

[@Ballin4Vengeance]

“Love and Mercy” part sounds like one melody from “Can you feel the Love tonight” and I don’t know if I hate or love that

[@maepletea]

Let it Out is definitely my favorite Hatchetfield song still, even after seeing Black Friday There's just something about it

[@Commander_ShepardN7]

So glad nightmare time theme is so high, straight up banger

[@WalkthroughHorde]

If I Fail You is so underrated :(

[@maddiefulford7156]

Some Take Me Back appreciation!!! Also whyy does monsters and men reprise slap so hard

[@leahpeterson201]

But I think we can all agree that every one of the songs is amazing!!

[@shelbybrasfield996]

I never noticed we had an HD spit take from Dylan Saunders

[@lattehottay3120]

thank you jeff for these 42 incredible songs!!! and thank you starkid potter for this video!

[@Angelz113]

what tim wants and if i fail you are always always underrated

[@starfox5165]

it seems the thing that most unites the starkid fandom is that it’s impossible to find a bad hatchetfield/NT song. jeff is a treasure that we don’t deserve

[@masterizzy3]

man respect for this list it’s so good! I love lah dee da da day so happy it made into top 20

[@johnmall9318]

I think there was a glitch or something... Feast or famine had a 3 next to it....?

[@khourievans5554]

I’m so thankful that you put Let It Out at the #1 spot because I’ve been internally debating which one I love more (because Let It Out is my favorite, but Nightmare Time has been stuck in my head for the past few weeks) and your ranking has helped me solidify Let It Out as my favorite song.

[@sawyerniehaus9130]

If I Fail You!!!! it deserves so much better omg

[@breemeinke7853]

What Tim Wants and If I Fail You deserved better!

[@kiki8792]

Omg sorry I'm late! I was playing a game online and couldn't quit!

[@evieanne06]

For 19 and up all I could think was, “this is better than Show Stoppin’ Number?” As much as I liked all these songs, SSN will always be my favorite.

[@daliah8883]

Me, pretty much anytime something is lower than Show Stopping Number: this is lower than Show Stopping Number? (PS. This is a joke, I absolutely love Show Stopping Number, just not my favorite, definitely in the top 25 for me)

[@lauren7564]

i love show stopping number, but there’s so much dialogue that i don’t listen to it often.

[@ruby._.romanoffx7778]

great video really got my mood up ready for another week of online school

[@comealongpondd]

What Tim Wants is so underrated! One of my favorite Black Friday songs. But I respect your opinions.

[@WeWofficial]

The top three is truly everyone's top three!! Let it out is so good!!!

[@daliah8883]

Let It Out is literally my second favorite StarKid song, it slaps so hard. However, my top three would be: What If Tomorrow Comes Let It Out Idk, Take Me Back probably

[@adami6187]

What Tim Wants being so low is a crime I know that's just because I would commit genocide for dylan Saunders, but it's by far one of my favourites of Black Friday EDIT: I'M SORRY BUT IF I FAIL IS A BANGER????

[@MadHymek323]

why do so many people hate Monsters and Men I don't understand this

[@themoviecritic1092]

Same, it's a great song

[@LasagnaTheArtist]

Personally I think Jeff’s falsetto in it really ruins the epicness of it; that high, screechiness only really works in comedy for me. I love the rest of the song, but that ending kills me. Y’all are free to love the song though! The rest of it slaps and I get why you like it :)

[@lauren7564]

it’s my least favorite hatchetfield song idk why lmao

[@MarleneRodriguez711]

13:55 The way I just instantly went "GOTMYFOOTONTHEGAS!" and he didn't even say it :,(

[@shawndougherty6056]

I fully agree with #1

[@Theo-gu2tk]

I sometimes I think I'm the only person who genuinely adores Monsters and Men. It'd probably be in my top 10. Nonetheless, great work!

[@fae91]

I'm living for the let it out appreciation, thank you!

[@alicealoi4951]

I love some let it out appreciation 👏🏻

[@kellyrocheleau4660]

Sort of echoing the other comments, these songs must be so hard to rank because most of them are great.

[@CammonMammon]

i think this justg proves there isnt a bad song in this series

[@dontworryaboutit9151]

I’m glad to see wiggle finally ranked high like it deserves. It’s the best starkid song and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.

[@What-lt3lj]

Excuse you let him come is a bop

[@Charlotte-gd4dr]

I actually agree with almost this whole list! That’s a first.

[@corneliastreet2491]

NPMD hit it way out of the park

[@ThatOneArchivist]

LET IT OUT APPRECIATION. YES.

[@LasagnaTheArtist]

Man, I really want to love Monsters And Men but Jeff’s ‘falsettos’ really kill it for me. He can sing incredibly, but it just sounds grating when he strains his voice like that at higher pitches. Also I respect your opinion but hOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT NORTHVILLE HIGH LIKE THIS. That song is a heckin’ banger, man! Edit: I’m so glad Inevitable, Feast Or Famine, and Let It Out are so high up

[@Kristiekins2]

Every Starkid ranking is always wildly different which for me means they're so good at appealing to everyone tbh.

[@thecoldestgoodbye]

YES! FINALLY! SOMEONE PUTTING LET IT OUT WHERE IT DESERVES TO BE!!!!!

[@Vekcrazah]

i sincerely and respectfully disagree with the placement of the coffee song(s) Musically wise, it really is very ear-wormy, and thematically, it masterfully sets up how terrifying the show will actually be, considering the songs prior this is played mostly for worldbuilding (la di da day) or for comedy (what do you want paul). Plus, it kinda showcases the genius of Jeff Blim, (assuming he wrote that too?) as he managed to capture the essence of old time-y jingles during the wars.

[@lewismcintosh2382]

My personal Top 20 songs in the Hatchetfield Franchise (Including Nerdy Prudes Must Die): All of the songs I absolutely love listening to over and over again.

(Edit: These songs I forgot to add but STILL enjoy them SSSSOOO MMUUCCHH: Tickle Me Wiggly, Deck the Hall of Northville High, If I Fail You (favourite Dylan song/solo), Go-Go Nighthawks; Witch In The Web, The Summoning (hilarious & spooky to watch at the same time), Next Time (Emotional Song - 😢), Yellow Jacket (favourite Angela song/solo) and Perky Buds) 20 - Adore Me 19 - Got My Foot On The Gas 18 - Bully/Bury The Bully 17 - The Hatchetfield Ape-Man 16 - La Di Da Da Day 15 - Cup of Roasted/Poison Coffee 14 - Peanuts The Hatchetfield Pocket Squirrel 13 - Inevitable 12 - The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals 11 - Just For Once 10 - Show Me Your Hands 9 - Nerdy Prudes Must Die! 8 - Black Friday (Lex's Solo 😢) 7 - Do You Want To Play With Me? (Guilty Pleasure) 6 - Snoozle Time (😢) 5 - High School Is Killing Me 4 - Show Stoppin' Number 3 - Let It Out and Nightmare Time Themes (Hard to choose between the two) 2 - Take Me Back 1 - If I Loved You (I'm a sucker for Power Love Duets)

[@Arkatox]

I love how even the lowest songs are absolutely superb. There’s not a bad song in Hatchetfield. I can tell this is going to be a great list!

[@mariah6942]

Not your seed deserves exactly where it is

[@fae91]

how did you even manage to rank these?? I'm honestly so impressed by this

[@phoenixlover049]

Who else really wants Nick in the next one???

[@katieoneill7808]

I support you in your monster and men opinion. I need you to know that before you get too much flack

[@amaeliss7827]

I don't support it one bit but I respect it

[@starkid6016]

1. Show stopping number 2. Deck the halls of northville high 3. inevitable

[@nitebreak]

i can’t believe what tim wants is so low 😭

[@corinneeaglebridge]

Ouch what is this Monsters and Men slander for?

[@fae91]

this ranking proves that all of these songs are masterpieces, since for each of them I thought it was too low, but then I also thought the songs towards the top deserved to be there

[@LuckyStarGurrl640]

If I Fail You deserves better

[@atlaskanik]

I’ve never liked Monsters and Men and I’m so glad I’m not the only one

[@roharper7168]
