History AwesomeMusic / RegularShow

* "Mississippi Queen" by Mountain plays after the Mordecai, Rigby, and Benson imbibe a concoction of the same name during the climax of "Weekend at Benson's". The DisneyAcidSequence that ensues is excellently crafted and fits the song quite nicely.

* "Death Punchies" gives us a whiff of 80's epic as early as the ''fourth'' episode, in the form of a short montage set to "[[Film/TheKarateKid You're the Best Around]]".
* Mordecai and Rigby doing a TrainingMontage on an arcade game while [[Music/NewKidsOnTheBlock "Hangin' Tough"]] plays over the sequence. Seriously, the writers seem to love dated 80s music. It's pretty awesome that the producers are willing to pay for all this music, since the licensing fees must be ''huge''.
* The score piece that plays during the audit in "Don". It almost sounds like it belongs in a theatrical production.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mx-TJJ-0Mo The ending theme]] that doesn't air on Cartoon Network proper, but does play when shown online and on DVD and Blu-Ray.
* Music/KennyLoggins' "I'm Alright" proves to be a perfect fit for the opening of "First Day", in which we see Mordecai and Rigby getting their jobs at the park and moving into their room.
* Pops' ''awesome'' rendition of "Film/{{Footloose}}" in the climax of the karaoke episode.
* "Hey Man, Nice Shot" by Filter playing during the climax of "Slam Dunk" (even though that song isn't about basketball playing; it's about the suicide of a corrupt politician that was broadcast on live television).
* "Mississippi Queen" by Mountain plays after the Mordecai, Rigby, and Benson imbibe a concoction of the same name during the climax of "Weekend at Benson's". The DisneyAcidSequence that ensues is excellently crafted and fits the song quite nicely.
* Mordecai has a training montage to "Holdin' Out For A Hero" so he can eat a 12-egg omelette in under an hour in "Eggsellent".
* ''Dies Irae'' plays when [[spoiler:Skips beats Rigby in arm wrestling and kills him.]]
* The 100th episode "A Bunch of Full Grown Geese" gave us the ultimate in 80's awesome with [[WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie Stan Bush's "The Touch"]].
* The BGM that plays when Skips drives Mordecai and Rigby to the Game Inferno Tournament. It's like something from Japanese anime.
* The background music in the "Put the Hurt On Him!" game, apart of "Just a Regular Game" on the Creator/CartoonNetwork website.
* The song that plays during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0zrSLDnb7w Nightmare-athon]] game is BADASS.
* The BGM to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSCHZEHVfWQ The Night Owl.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-J2chHl3Q8 This track]] from the episode "Yes Dude, Yes!"
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za31xsl-xmU Sad Theme]] from "Skips Strikes".
* The background music during "Think Positive" when Benson builds up too much rage and [[spoiler: starts to turn red all over and float in the sky, turning into a mass of power that threatens to destroy the entire park]]. The music sounds like the Bruce Faulconer soundtrack for ''Dragon Ball Z'', and is not only fitting, but intense and epic. Full scene [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcDFFIuVUS0 here]].
* "The Christmas Special" has Music/TransSiberianOrchestra's "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24", a rock-remix of "Carol of the Bells". And it is awesome.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07bKoRinA28 Mordecai and Rigby's song]] in the Thanksgiving special is a cross between awesome and heartwarming. The episode's opening and ending theme are also worth putting on this page.
* The Metallica-esque thrash metal song that underscores the scene where Benson, Mordecai and Rigby are driving down the world's deadliest highway in "Busted Cart".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otSCb5UTSoA Party Tonight]]. Who cares if they were lip-syncing, it was still an exceedingly awesome song! CN made an awesome 80s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk1cNT3UBmE music video]] for it. It's live action, and it has lasers.
* "Rap It Up" has some sick beats provided by Music/ChildishGambino, Music/TylerTheCreator and MC Lyte.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tte64l7mhI Mordecai and Rigby's rap about the world's countries]] from the short "USA! USA!".
* The short "Fun Run" has Pops jogging all over the city while listening to "[[Music/AFlockOfSeagulls I Ran (So Far Away)]]".
%%* The BigDamnMovie features a brief montage set to "The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" by Timbuk3.
%%* Gary and Larry musical duel.
* "No Train, No Gain" is an episode length parody of the TrainingMontage. To mix up Pops's training for his battle with Anti-Pops, Mordecai and Rigby switch in Music/DragonForce's "Through the Fire and the Flames", which results in Pops's powers growing immensely and the gang having to try stopping the music before things get out of control. Almost the entire song is played, which means it consists of nearly half the episode.
-->'''Earl''': How long is this song??\\

* Kenny Loggins' "I'm Alright" proves to be a perfect fit for the opening of "First Day", in which we see Mordecai and Rigby getting their jobs at the park and moving into their room.

* With the show finally ending, how do they decide to go out with a bang? Among other things, they close out the GrandFinale with one last licensed song: [[Music/{{Heroes}} "Heroes"]] by Music/DavidBowie. It proves to be a great fit for a WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, and a beautiful tribute by J.G. to Bowie.

* "Hey Man, Nice Shot" by Filter playing during the climax of "Slam Dunk" (even though that song isn't about basketball playing; it's about the suicide of a corrupt politician that was broadcast on live television). This is most likely a reference to a scene from the movie The Cable Guy, where the titular character plays a game of basketball with the same song playing in the background.
