* Something very similar to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjS_g3Syhu8 "The Lonely Man"]] (aka the "David Banner hitch-hiking" theme) from the [=70s=] ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk'' TV show appears in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E19PuttingYourHoofDown Putting Your Hoof Down]] when Fluttershy realizes she's lost control, and slowly walks back to her cottage, to isolate herself from other ponies while she tries to fight the monster within. Said episode also contains a SuspiciouslySimilarSong to "Eye of the Tiger" during Iron Will's presentation.

* "The Times, they are A Changeling" gives us Spike's first solo song, [[https://youtu.be/Bd1Y7xCUPHA A Changeling Can Change]], a beautiful ballad about how it's possible for a changeling to accept friendship.

* WE FINALLY HAVE ANOTHER VILLAIN SONG! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzsxfO7dBlA "This Day Aria,"]] which is (sort of) a Cadence duet with herself is nothing short of epic and brings to mind another [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLS86g3_NYI song]] from another [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid movie...]]

* "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E7Bats Bats!]]" has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_WO0yxD3Hk the episode's title song]], and it's simply ''divine''! Taking inspiration from ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'', and the song "Savages" from ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}}'', it displays Applejack and Fluttershy's reasoning towards how the vampire fruit bats are vermin and how the vampire fruit bats are just like every other pony respectively. Not only do its visuals show off how contrary both sides are to the story, but its grand finale amplifies how grand it really is to listen to.

* [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E11ThreesACrowd "Three's a Crowd"]] gives the utterly hysterical and visually amazing showstopper of a PatterSong "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwXylReeDwI Glass of Water]]". Not only does it [[TheCastShowoff showcase]] Discord's, and thus Creator/JohnDeLancie's singing skills for the first time on the show ([[Film/BroniesTheExtremelyUnexpectedAdultFansOfMyLittlePony "Let's Go and Meet the Bronies"]] doesn't count), and not only is it the adorable love child of [[{{Disney/Aladdin}} "Friend Like Me"]] and [[Theater/TheProducers "The King of Broadway"]], but so much happens in so little time, you'll be hard-pressed to make any sense of it at all. (But then, "what fun is there in making ''sense?''")

* Throughout Episode 10 [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E10SecretOfMyExcess "Secret Of My Excess"]], we can hear the unmistakable strains of ''[[Disney/{{Fantasia}} The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]''.

* The special starts with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq61n9T1TjY One More Day]], a high-energy piece (with the traditional Christmas song sound and instrumentation) where the Mane-6 and the whole town gets involved.

** That original version mentioned above? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw68kBIDVKM It was finally released]] through a ContentLeak (along with a plethora of other things). And at last we finally hear just how awesome Maddy sounded singing it.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLbdibRyt0k#t=11s Sweetie Belle's gospel rendition of the lullaby]] in "Stare Master".

* Fittingly "The Last Problem" has one last FriendshipSong celebrating all the good times throughout the years with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb-GsRpiezk The Magic of Friendship Grows.]] Fair warning, you might shed a tear for those that watched the series throughout the years.

* In "Sounds of Silence" Autumn Blaze sings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAhqxvgQYn0 A Kirin Tale]] and takes one's breath away, not only with her surprisingly uplifting melody, but also with the powerful message to never let fear of bad things stop you from enjoying the good. The [[TriumphantReprise Triumphant]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZQGdH0tGMc Reprise]], in which Autumn expresses her joy, is just as awesome if not more so.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe3KrT1rw-0 Winter Wrap-Up song]], although it's also a notorious EarWorm... and a bit of a FunnyAneurysmMoment, too, given how harsh the winter of 2010-2011 was.

* Episode 15 [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E15TheSuperSpeedyCiderSqueezy6000 "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000"]] brings us "[[http://youtu.be/_f7OWX-jRVk The World Famous Flim Flam Brothers]]", which is a ShoutOut to "Ya Got Trouble" from ''Theatre/TheMusicMan''. Sure, they're trying to run out the Apple Family, but the Vaudeville-esque song is just [[EarWorm too damn catchy]] that you can't help but sing with them. Just ask Rainbow Dash and the rest of Ponyville.

** [[EarWorm So take this opportunity, in this very community....]]

* From [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E4OneBadApple "One Bad Apple"]], we have a [[TheVillainSucksSong villain sucks song]] about the bully [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMjNmShuijg Babs Seed]]. It's probably the most upbeat song of its category with a seriously [[EarWorm ear worm-y]] chorus and visual [[ShoutOut shout outs]] to ''WesternAnimation/JosieAndThePussycats'' and "Let's All Go to the Lobby" to top it off.

* In "Sounds of Silence" Autumn Blaze sings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAhqxvgQYn0 A Kirin Tale]] and takes one's breath away, not only with her surprisingly uplifting melody, but also with the powerful message to never let fear of bad things stop you from enjoying the good. The song is so awesome that it has more than earned its status of EarWorm. The [[TriumphantReprise Triumphant]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZQGdH0tGMc Reprise]], in which Autumn expresses her joy, is just as awesome if not more so.

* Counting the TriumphantReprise, "Magical Mystery Cure" had a grand total of ''seven'' songs. Special points go to the EarWorm "What My Cutie Mark is Telling Me", the [[TearJerker soft]] [[BSODSong and depressing]] "I've Got to Find A Way", and [[spoiler:the AwesomeMomentOfCrowning with the coronation anthem "Behold Princess Twilight Sparkle."]]

* Some of Creator/TheHub's Season 3 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vONPbjUjc-A commercials]] have an ''[[EarWorm extremely catchy]]'' snippet from the Network Music Ensemble song [[http://www.myspace.com/networkmusicensemble/music/songs/giddy-up-84585455 "Giddy Up"]] in the background.

* In 2015, Hasbro released an MLP Christmas album, featuring a couple of vaguely Christmas-ish songs (including an extended version of the Hearthwarming Eve song), but each of the main characters also gets to sing their own version of a real, classic song or carol with their own lyrics and personal style. For example we get a bouncy version of "Twelve Days of Christmas" by Pinkie, listing all the ridiculous gifts her friends got her, a rock version of "Jingle Bells" about Rainbow giving her friends a sleigh ride (much to their absolute terror), a jazz rendition of "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas"by Spike, and a hauntingly beautiful rendition of "Auld Lang Syne" by Applejack (and backup from Applebloom) about [[MyParentsAreDead honouring family who aren't with them anymore.]] You can listen to most of them [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbNT91JQED4 at Hasbro's YouTube channel]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swjM3rNu5p4 The Place Where We Belong]] from "Uprooted" is the first time the Young Six get a song to themselves and it's a gem of a song that expresses their emotions and new found unity in their quest to memorialize the Tree of Harmony.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL6-GBiYr0M Your Heart Is in Two Places]] is a great duet for Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

* The show's theme song is cute and infectious; it opens every episode and lays down the premise for the series ("I used to wonder what friendship could be, til you all shared it's magic with me!"). The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcBNxuKZyN4 full, uncut version]] of it however is twice as sweet and heartwarming, delving into Twilight Sparkle's affection for each of her five friends, and expanding on how they've all brightened up her life since she moved to Ponyville.

* From [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E9AppleFamilyReunion "Apple Family Reunion"]] comes the beautiful song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT0cYJp2D44 Raise This Barn]]". Not only is it better than most country songs today and ''especially'' the first time we've heard Applejack really sing since "The Best Night Ever",[[note]] Unless you count Hub promos[[/note]] but it's also captures the true spirit of the Apple Family down to the capital A. Not a bad song to raise barns and/or set everything right to.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVgMmT7pX1Y The Pony I Want to Be]], which did the seemingly impossible and actually got people to feel bad for [[TheScrappy Diamond Tiara]]. The [[TriumphantReprise reprise]] contributes with heartwarming and begins wrapping up the end of a long journey of self-discovery.

* While only background music, the melodies in "The Mysterious Mare Do Well" can be quickly identified as {{Suspiciously Similar Song}}s to Danny Elfman's ''Film/{{Batman}}'' theme and Jerry Goldsmith's ''Film/TheShadow'' theme.

* In "Sounds of Silence" Autumn Blaze sings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAhqxvgQYn0 A Kirin Tale]] and takes one's breath away, not only with her surprisingly uplifting melody, but also with the profound message to never let fear of bad things stop you from enjoying the good. The song is so awesome that it has more than earned its status of EarWorm. The [[TriumphantReprise Triumphant]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZQGdH0tGMc Reprise]], in which Autumn expresses her joy, is just as awesome if not more so.

* "Twilight's Kingdom" gives us two: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=258IelnsyEg You'll Play Your Part]]", sung [[MostWonderfulSound by Celestia, Luna, and Cadence]] to lift [[PepTalkSong Twilight's spirits,]] and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25s5dbkvTVU Let the Rainbow Remind You]]", an anthem on how together anything is possible. The former song is Luna's first time singing, courtesy of Kazumi Evans, the same singer as Rarity, and Cadance (Britt [=McKillip=])'s first singing role since the second season finale.

* "The Perfect Pear" features [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w0RJNM6dnk You're In My Head Like a Catchy Song]], an ''extremely'' sweet love song courtesy of Pear Butter.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL6-GBiYr0M Your Heart Is in Two Places]] is a great duet of Sweetie Belle and Scotaloo.

* In "Sounds of Silence" Autumn Blaze sings A Kirin Tale and takes one's breath away, not only with her surprisingly uplifting melody, but also with the profound message to never let fear of bad things stop you from enjoying the good. The song is so awesome that it has more than earned its status of EarWorm. The TriumphantReprise, in which Autumn expresses her joy, is just as awesome if not more so.
