* [[https://soundcloud.com/bradbreeck/gravity-falls-e203-the-golf-war-medley-and-battle?in=bradbreeck/sets/gravity-falls-reel "Medley And Battle"]] from "The Golf War" is a surprisingly epic piece for a silly situation: fighting angry gold ball people.

* [[https://soundcloud.com/bradbreeck/gf-e102-little-dipper-gideons?in=bradbreeck/sets/gravity-falls-reel "Gideon's Theme"]] from "Little Dipper" is unsettling as his character. Unlike the folksy tone of "Widdle Ol' Me", it's in a minor key and strips away the pretense of Gideon being a CheerfulChild.

* [[https://youtu.be/hI2btzM13NM "Call Me Mabel"]], Mabel's cover of [[Music/CarlyRaeJepsen "Call Me Maybe"]] for Disney Channel's "Broken Karaoke". A hilarious love song all about Mabel trying too hard to get her summer love.

* The two unused theme songs for the show, by Creator/NeilCicierega, captures two aspects of the show well. [[https://youtu.be/TbUeDHfsvhM The first demo]] sounds like something from ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'' or ''{{VideoGame/OFF}}'', portraying the show's mystery elements, with [[https://youtu.be/TpYBdOMh4GM the second demo]] sounding much goofier, with lyrics as well.

* [[http://neilblr.com/post/142982667678 "It's Gonna Get Weird"]] by Creator/NeilCicierega, Bill's unused VillainSong which was meant to be included in Weirdmageddon Part 1, wonderfully captures Bill's personality through a catchy, musical theatre-esque, rhythm and lyrics.

* The show's mysterious and adventurous InstrumentalThemeTune is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=645xo1qyLW8 excellent]]. There's an [[ThemeTuneExtended extended]] orchestral [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rEtD9QTJQc remix]]. How you can NOT bang your head to this beautiful blend of strings, winds, and concert percussion?

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i7z9flNEm8 slowed down version]] in the credits of "Dreamscaperers". Beautiful, somber, and appropriately placed right after an agonizing cliffhanger.
** And the [[https://soundcloud.com/bradbreeck/gf-e121-finale-mix-mast-01 heroic rising version]] in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXdPeNeRCuQ final scene]] of "Gideon Rises", when we finally get to see what's behind the vending machine. This version may give you some serious chills.
** And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIrWvQTNzpk 8-bit version]] in the credits of "Fight Fighters".
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWvdqkl2UH4 Bill-ified version of the theme]] that plays at the beginning of Weirdmageddon Part 1 is also this, fitting Bill's deranged nature and the atmosphere of Weirdmageddon as a whole.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ0i1ee3--k rocked out version]] of the theme being played as they kick the asses of Bill's Henchmaniacs is completely JustForFun/MadeOfWin. How can you listen to this and NOT rock out?

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z69DgtPyOks The amazing country-styled music]] that plays as Dipper, Mabel and Soos are chased by the Gobblewonker. It also plays when [=McGucket=] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome makes a stand against the Society of the Blind Eye]]. Given that the Gobblewonker was actually [=McGucket=]'s machine, this tune could well be considered as the "[=McGucket=] Being Badass" theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JL5zsasy_U "Widdle Ol Me"]] is [[VillainSong Gideon Gleeful's delightful gospel and Broadway inspired song]]. It somehow manages to reveal [[ManipulativeBastard nearly]] [[VillainWithGoodPublicity his]] [[VainSorcerer entire]] [[MagnificentBastard character]] while staying upbeat and relatively low key.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl5wTX1KwRI The Training Mix]], used for Mabel to help Stan be less gross and for the Manotaurs to help Dipper be more manly. It's very catchy, and funny with lyrics like "Keep on shaving that hairy uncle!".
* "Disco Girl", an AffectionateParody of Music/{{ABBA}}'s "Dancing Queen", became a fan favorite after "Dipper vs. Manliness" both for its catchy beat and silliness. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGtxGacnqls A full version was released in 2021 to promote the soundtrack album release, much to the fans' joy.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrT-7FYNkqU All of the Sev'ral Times songs]] from "Boyz Crazy" are surprisingly catchy for a parody of boy bands and their music.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FER0dgaewzM Taking Over Midnight]] from the season 2 premiere is nothing short of awesome.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HEb6VwBeTw&t=1m32s The music]] that kicks in when Mabel turns the tables on Bill, to kick him out of Dipper's body. It has a frantic sound to it that perfectly matches the silly, yet somewhat intense scene it's set to. Bonus points for the crew getting permission for "Ave Maria"!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDwHor1h7L4 "Cash Money"]] from "Soos and the Real Girl" is a parody of rap/hip-hop songs that plays over a photo montage of Stan and Goldie visiting Las Vegas. As one can expect, it's hilariously catchy. The visuals of their antics really sell it.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfXeF8E7VnU Goat and a Pig]] from "The Love God" is a ridiculously catchy song that's so stupid, it works.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3RSyC5EVEo The music]] that plays during the final scene of the finale. It's such a sweet, slow and melancholy piece of music that will probably make you shed a tear or two. Especially when a quieter reprise of the main theme plays near the end.

* The music for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI2SxTEwE90 Gravity Falls-Look Ahead]], a sneak peek released during the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con. It actually incorporates elements of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8W5NNndSG4 Made Me Realize]]", another song by Brad Breeck composed for MTV's ''Awkward'' which has many similarities to the theme song, to the point it's often mistakenly called an extended version. [[AscendedFanon Seems it became part]] of ''Gravity Falls'' after all.
* The two unused theme songs for the show, by Music/LemonDemon, captures two aspects of the show well. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbUeDHfsvhM The first demo]] sounds like something from ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' or ''{{VideoGame/OFF}}'', portraying the show's mystery elements, with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpYBdOMh4GM the second demo]] sounding much goofier, with lyrics as well.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI2btzM13NM "Call Me Mabel"]], Mabel's cover of [[Music/CarlyRaeJepsen "Call Me Maybe"]] for Disney Channel's "Broken Karaoke". A hilarious love song all about Mabel trying too hard to get her summer love.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6KCvnRs2EA The music that plays as]] Stanley traps Bill in his mind and loses his memory. It starts off very ominous as it looks like Bill's nearing his ultimate victory... and then he opens the door and an almost mockingly triumphant tune begins to play as he finds out he was tricked and begins to panic. The music reaches a crescendo as Bill is finally finished off for good. Then, as Stan's memories are completely erased, the tune changes to something more bittersweet and somber, much like how Stan must've felt as he realizes that he's finally done something worthwhile with this life.

* [[https://soundcloud.com/bradbreeck/gf-e104-groceryhaunt?in=bradbreeck/sets/gravity-falls-reel "Grocery Haunt"]] from "The Inconveniencing" is simple but eerie, setting the episode’s classic ghost story tone.
* [[https://soundcloud.com/bradbreeck/gf-e104-inconveniencing-80s?in=bradbreeck/sets/gravity-falls-reel "80s Horror".]] brings the climax of Mabel being possessed by Ma and Pa Duskerton to a terrifying finish as Dipper struggles to save her and the teenagers from the ghosts’s wrath.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl5wTX1KwRI The Training Mix]], used for Mabel to help Stan be less gross and for the Manotaurs to help Dipper be more manly. It's very catchy, and funny when it says things like "Keep on shaving that hairy uncle!".

* [[https://soundcloud.com/bradbreeck/gf-e102-little-dipper-gideons?in=bradbreeck/sets/gravity-falls-reel "Gideon’s Theme"]] from "Little Dipper" is unsettling like his character. Unlike the folksy tone of "Widdle Ol’ Me", it’s in a minor key and strips away the pretense of Gideon being a CheerfulChild.

* [[https://soundcloud.com/bradbreeck/gravity-falls-e112-the-deep-end-mermando-moods?in=bradbreeck/sets/gravity-falls-reel "Mermando Moods"]] from "The Deep End" is a beautiful and melancholy guitar piece, a perfect accompaniment to both Mermando’s affection for Mabel and yearning to return home to his family.
* "Mabel's the Boss Now" from "Boss Mabel" is a catchy tune with a beat resembling "9 To 5". It also gets an instrumental DarkReprise later in the episode as things go FromBadToWorse for Mabel.
