Awesome Music / Steam Powered Giraffe

• Album One:
  • "Clockwork Vaudeville", a wonderful homage to the Vaudeville Era of music.
  • "Brass Goggles", the song many consider to be SPG's "theme song," is a bouncy, rocking tune. Perfect to end the show (as it often does).
  • "One from The Jon; Sound of Tomorrow" is quite delightful and cheery, despite much of it consisting of Word Salad Lyrics.
  • "On Top of the Universe" is a sweet love ballad. About a toaster. It still works.
  • "Out in the Rain", a calming song with soft melody and backed by The Jon's soothing, smooth vocals.
  • "Electricity is in My Soul" starts with a robotic introductory verse, then switches to the beautiful harmonies of Rabbit and The Spine. The piano and that techno lead after the chorus make this song.
  • "I Am Not Alone", Upgrade's solo song from the original Album One. Erin has described it as being about her fear of singing and having her friends there to support her.
• The 2¢ Show:
  • The live version of "Ju Ju Magic", a song penned and sang mainly by The Jon is arguably the best version of the song. It has far more energy and a funky beat.
  • The live version of "Prelude to a Dream" and especially "Make Believe" shows off Michael Philip Reed's exceptional falsetto vocals, as well as give a chance to show Matt Smith's amazing pipes. This song will get in your head and it ''will' not leave. Also the Kazookaphone.
  • "Honeybee", the song that introduced many people to the band. Rabbit's high notes and the gentle guitar, leading into the drums at the end are the highlights of this wonderfully sad song.
  • "Me and My Baby (Saturday Nights)". If you listen closely, you can hear the exact moment people fell in love with The Spine.
  • "The Suspender Man", a song perfect for Halloween.
  • "Airheart", an energetic tale based on Amelia Earhart.
• MK III:
  • "Hatch Fever", Hatchworth's introduction song, is another jazzy tune that has a lot of energy. Just listen to Hatchworth hit that high note!
  • "Steam Powered Giraffe", a funky introduction song to the three robots. The end high notes are just the icing on the cake.
• Vice Quadrant:
  • "The Vice Does Tight", the introduction to the album, sets the creepy atmosphere and space setting perfectly with the excellent harmonies between the three robots throughout.
  • "Progress and Technology", where David Michael Bennett gets to showcase his wonderful falsetto voice in a great homage to Glam Rock.
  • The single version of "Fire Fire", where David's lone voice really hammers in the isolation and terror of burning in space.
  • "The Speed of Light" sounds like it could be from an actual, Broadway space opera, and David Michael Bennett's fantastic vocal range is put to exceptional use here.
  • "The Pulls" gives Hatchworth a chance to show his lower vocal range in a waltz number.
  • "Soliton" is a wonderful love ballad by David as the Astronaut, who confesses his loyalty and love to Cosmica.
  • "Hold Me" is a truly heartbreaking song sung beautifully by Bunny Bennett as Holly, Commander Cosmo's fiance who he left behind when he went into space. At live shows, this song is always accompanied by the Walter Girls' ballet dancing (as both are professionally-trained ballerinas).
  • Professor Elemental joins the robots in "Sky Sharks", as the band tries to fight Birdemic-looking flying sharks with laser eyes. Yes, really.
  • Bunny brings out her old male baritone voice for "Necrostar", a Disney Villain Song if there ever was one.
  • "Whale Song" is an absolutely adorable and heartwarming song mainly by Rabbit as she, and soon after Hatchworth and The Spine, serenade a pod of space whales.
• Quintessential:
  • "Malfunction", a fun rock song with an empowering message.
  • "I Don't Have A Name For It", a sugary-sweet, catchy Silly Love Song. The most impressive part by far is The Spine's final high note, which he sustains for a whole 15 seconds.
  • "Overdrive" stands out among the band's usual output by being an EDM track. This doesn't make it any less awesome.
  • "The Ballad Of Delilah Morreo" gives off an amazingly spooky gothic vibe.
• 1896:
  • "Lyin' Awake" is beautifully funky as Zer0 shows off his fantastic voice.
  • "Transform" has Rabbit take you on a musical adventure as she details her experience with gender dysphoria. The latter half of the song, where it goes through a constant Genre Roulette, really stands out.
