7* Using Music/{{Nightwish|Band}}'s "Ghost Love Score" for the Nerd/Critic retrospective. The HoYay-romantic lyrics certainly help.
8* "Poor Critic", which gets him his confidence back at the end of the first commercials special.
9* All of the [[http://ncmoulinrouge.bandcamp.com/ songs]] in the ''Moulin Rouge!'' musical {{review}}!
10* Likewise, all the songs in the ''Les Misérables'' review, with "One Big Song" and "Do You Hear The Critics Sing?" taking the cake.
11** [[https://channelawesome.com/nostalgia-critic-top-11-most-awesome-movie-themes/ The Top 11 Most Awesome Music Themes]].
12* The [[http://tgwtg.bandcamp.com/track/the-review-must-go-on-nostalgia-critic-theme instrumental version]] of ''The Review Must Go On'' which now plays during the opening and credits of each episode.
13* The operatic-singing at the end of ''Film/TheGarbagePailKidsMovie''. The fact that there's a singing turd on the screen didn't matter, people still wanted to bang his voice.
14* [[https://youtu.be/oYPBGEhhSyM I'm a Distraction]] from from ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'' with Doug singing while doing his excellent [[Film/SupermanII Zod]] impression. A great example of RefugeInAudacity.
15* '''''[[Film/JurassicPark I'M THE MOTHERFUCKIN' T-REX]]!!!''''' [[http://tgwtg.bandcamp.com/track/the-t-rex-song And it's available too]].
16* "Perfect" by the Smashing Pumpkins underscoring Critic's conversation with his younger self in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo''. Also doubles as a TearJerker:
17-->We can't help but feel, that something has been lost.
18* [[http://tgwtg.bandcamp.com/album/nostalgia-ranger-whiny-moanin-nostalgia-critic Whiny Moanin' Nostalgia Critic]]. It's a [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong slightly dissimilar]] but obvious homage to the ''Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers'' theme.
19* [[https://youtu.be/jm7K__Wte7w He does it again]] at the start of his [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014 TMNT (2014)]] review and there's just as much SelfDeprecation as before.
20* The [[https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=678625002203964&id=127127037353766&stream_ref=1 actually recced]] [[https://youtu.be/JHpmpJzJIm4 cello cover]] of "The Review Must Go On" by Rob Scallon. As sad as the metal version but also ethereal and pretty.
21* Playing "Ain't We Got Fun" at the end of WhamEpisode ''Film/TheShining'', a song about not having much money and everything is getting worse, but distracting yourself with 'fun' any way that you can.
22* Some of the music choices for the editorials, particularly those recycled from ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'', can be important for character reasons. For example, "Danse Macabre" being used in "Why We Love Zombies So Much"; an instrumental piece about the dead being forced to dance playing over a previously dead person talking about how his kindness was beaten out of him.
23* [[https://youtu.be/L-SJG4KXtk8 "Superman is Batman"]] by Rob Scallon, the song that plays at the beginning of the ''Film/ManOfSteel'' review.
24* [[WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee Fatal Fight]] played over Critic admitting fake sins in ''WesternAnimation/FoodFight'', and while its purpose was confusing, you must admit it was great to hear again.
25* At the end of his ''WesternAnimation/GrandmaGotRunOverByAReindeer'' review, there's "I [[ClusterFBomb Fucking]] Love Christmas", a song where he dresses up like the demented lovechild of a [[ChristmasElves Christmas Elf]] and a DeathMetal vocalist and sings how much he [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Fucking Loves Christmas]].
26* [[https://youtu.be/D7nP3mUxOjI Santa Christ, Santa Christ, we all love Santa Christ!]]
27* "I Put A Nostalgic Spell On You", from ''Film/HocusPocus'', for multiple reasons. It's catchy, props to Doug for singing in a convincing female voice, and as ''Kranks'' and multiple people have pointed out, it gets across criticism of the movie in a more fun way than complaining about it in front of a wall.
28* "Wishing This Shit Never Happened" from ''Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera2004''. Tamara and Beth have beautiful voices, Hyper is both sad and disturbing (sounding broken but also wanting to force Critic again), Beth calls it her favorite to sing and Doug loves it because it's not meant to be funny.
29* Doug is clearly brilliant at getting points across through song. The best two examples of this were summing up why ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' was a bad idea in "Superman is Batman" and his summary on the deterioration of Creator/AdamSandler's career in [[https://youtu.be/-vRaKaTZVz8 "The Adam Sandler Song".]]
30* [[https://youtu.be/cIgtg0P4nF0 "The Real Chipmunks Movie"]], the parody of "The Girls of Rock 'n' Roll" from ''WesternAnimation/TheChipmunkAdventure'' at the end of the review of ''Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks''. Especially as Doug and Tamara get to show off their amazing voices the most.
31* Tamara, Aiyanna and Heather's [[https://youtu.be/uW-RzGv5yvU cover]] of "Can't Go Back Now" by the Weepies.
32* [[https://youtu.be/wYsMjEeEg4g "Flagpole Sitta"]] by Music/HarveyDanger, which the Critic uses as the theme for extreme {{mind|Screw}}fucks in media he reviews.
33* In The Top 5 Disney Animated Movie Songs, Aiyanna, Heather and Tamara singing parodies of ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}''.
34* Doug has used the title song for ''Disneycember 2019'', [[https://youtu.be/8viyUa6gdc0 "Movie Score"]] by Jeffery Peterson, at the beginning of his ''Film/{{Bloodrayne}}'' review as well as the end of his ''Film/JurassicWorld'' review to an amazing effect each time.
