My Gym Partner's a Monkey probably isn't best known for its music, as aside from its obligatory theme song, there aren't many musical numbers in the show. However, whenever the show does introduce a song, it's usually going to be a damn epic head-banger.
  • The theme song is the most memorable and quoted song of the series. In fact, when most people hear the name of the show, the chorus is, more often than not, the first thing that comes to mind.
  • "You Gotta Sell" from "Grub Drive". Most people don't know the lyrics, but Mrs. Warthog's chorus is what people quote and adore the most.
  • "What's the Point?" from "I Got a New Aptitude". The stern, somber, and harshly real melancholy of this song powerfully emulates Adam and Jake's depression and sense of hopelessness, when they realize they'll never get the future they desire. The very existence of the song is rather odd, as MIGPAM is definitely not the kind of show that goes for deep, emotional scenes like this. Yet for some reason, the writers wanted to make the conflict of this specific episode as painfully heart-wrenching as possible.
  • If a single song from "Animal School Musical" was left out of this page, it would be noticeably incomplete.
    • The intro to Middle School Musical is short and sweet, and a perfect example of the kind of earworms the following musical will be delivering. Following that is the parody version, which puts a creative and humorous spin on it.
    • "We'd Rather Do Anything Than Sing" includes every recurring character and fleshing out their personalities and musical talent all in one song. Not to mention, it features the one and only speaking line of Horace Ferret.
    • "I Got No Rhyme" is catchy, funny, and easily Jake's second-best moments in the musical, with the best, of course, being "I Love My Butt".
    • "Waiting in the Wings" is a damn good song that carries a story with it. All of the background characters and less popular recurring characters do a musical number about how they barely get to be in the show and how they wish they could take the places of any of the main cast members for A Day in the Limelight. A whole episode could be made from that concept.
    • "Sunshine and Tulips" is a breakout moment for Ingrid, as we get to see more of her personality than ever before. We see just how soft and kind of a girl she really is, as well as a surprising development in seeing her appreciation for Asian culture.
    • Also, can we just take the time to appreciate how this entire musical solely comprises original music? The showrunners made sure not to use any stock cues or already existing public domain songs for their score. Everything from the numbers on the forefront to the tunes in the background are 100% original.
  • Coach Gills' "Never Talk to Feral Cats" from "My Feral Lyon" may not have a good tune to it, being one of those beatnik raps, but it has some funny lyrics that people quote all the way home.
  • The hilariously repetitive "Danza is the Boss" from "Mandrill of the House".
