Awesome Music / LittleBigPlanet

Go To

Every single song in the entirety of all of the games, to an extent. Some of them can even be manipulated to change which track components get played. And they just keep adding more via DLC. In LBP2 and later games, you can create your own songs with the Music Sequencer, which has resulted in level creators composing utterly AWESOME tunes. Players who really know what they're doing can even compose their own music in LBP1 with Music Note Objects and a few (hundred) Magnetic Keys.


LittleBigPlanet 1

  • Despite it being licensed music not specifically composed for the game, "Atlas" by Battles ended up becoming synonymous with the series as its Signature Song, due to how its unconventional Math Rock composition perfectly encapsulates the essence of LittleBigPlanet's chaotic sense of fun.
  • "Get It Together" by The Go! Team is used prominently in the first game and is practically synonymous with the game series.
  • "Volver a Comenzar" by CafĂ© Tacvba, used in the Dia de los Muertos themed levels in The Wedding, is as catchy as it is melancholy and helps set the tone for Frida the Bride's story levels.
  • Boom Town is definitely That One Level, but at least it comes with a great song. Whether you take the time to Ace it or not, Cornman will undoubtedly get stuck in your head.
  • "Song 2" by Instrumental Hip Hop artist DJ Krush is a remarkably solemn lo-fi track that makes Sensei's Lost Castle all the more atmospheric. Don't be ashamed if you feel a bit weepy on repeat listens.
  • The Gardens Theme, the song so nice they remixed it twice.
  • What plays for the final battle with The Collector? A piece of Sergei Prokofiev's score for Alexander Nevsky!

LittleBigPlanet 3

  • The "Garden Theme" makes another appearance in 3, as an a cappella version sung by none other than Internet favorite and bearded cat enthusiast Smooth McGroove.

LittleBigPlanet PSP

  • "Neopolitan Dreams by Lisa Mitchell is a relaxing track with calming vocals and lyrics.
  • "Glockenpop" by Spiderbait essentially became to this game what "Get it Together" was to the first one: a hyper infectious Signature Song that sticks with you long after it ends, with lyrical commentary on the complacency of pop music to boot.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure

  • The reveal trailer features another hit, "Mayday", from the fan-favorite band The Go! Team of LBP1 fame with clever use of Morse code, pounding drums, boisterous brass section, and catchy-as-all-hell vocals.
  • The surf rock remix of the song Take On Me by A-ha makes the otherwise frustrating co-op level "Squid Goals" feel like a fun jaunt on a California boardwalk pier.
  • Imagine you're playing through "Bubble Jeopardy" for the first time. You're enjoying the catchy whimsical ballet music playing in the background, but wow, that melody sounds familiar. Then, halfway through the level, it immediately dawns on you that you're listening to a remix of "Material Girl" by Madonna.
