  • The theme song is not only insanely catchy, but it's a beautifully intricate piece that adds on layers of instrumentation as each character gets their chance to dance, starting with Chilli having a melodica solo and acoustic guitar backup, Bandit getting a rocking electric guitar solo (possibly a nod to David McCormack's rock roots), Bingo getting a jazzy breakdown, and Bluey having a drumbeat and a faux-full orchestra for her section.
  • The show's frequent use of arranged versions of classical music is unmatched by other contemporary children's entertainment, including:
    • Rondo alla Turca by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in "Magic Xylophone", hilariously played by Bandit on Bluey's belly, which turns into the musical accompaniment for the episode.
    • "Jupiter" from The Planets by Gustav Holst acts as a counterpoint for the many deep themes explored in 'Sleepytime'.
    • "A Message From the Fairies", an arrangement of "John Ryan's Polka" in "Fairies", a rollicking Irish jig that perfectly compliments the wacky hijinks of the episode, all culminating in Bandit's hilarious fairy dance to "unfreeze" Bingo.
    • "Bike" features a brilliant arrangement of the "Ode to Joy" portion of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, which starts out as calm and soothing but soon builds up to a triumphant climax.
    • "The Claw" is an upbeat chiptune arrangement of Pachebel's famous Canon in D, featured in the episode of the same name and in "The Sleepover" as Muffin makes her escape with the "chippies" from Bandit's chip stand.
    • "Baby Race" makes use of Bach's Prelude in C Major, complementing Chilli's experiences as a new mother and reaching an emotional culmination as baby Bluey finally takes her first steps.
  • Joff Bush's original musical compositions deserve special mention as well as his classical music arrangements. Several of the instrumental tracks were featured on the albums Bluey: The Album and Bluey: Dance Mode!
    • "Fruitbat" from the eponymous episode is a groovy track that plays during Bluey's dream sequence, serving as a catchy underscore to her antics as a fruit bat.
    • "Who Likes to Dance?", featured in the episodes "Markets" and "Grannies", a cheerful tune featuring some excellent guitar and harmonica work.
    • The entire soundtrack from "The Creek", especially "I Know a Place", which features the vocals of Helena Czajka and Jazz D'Arcy.
    • "The Gnome Song" highlights the soft, soothing vocals of Megan Washington, the voice of Calypso and is prominently featured in her debut episode.
    • "Dance Mode" is another insanely catchy track, encouraging listeners to just get up and dance their worries away.
