Line #6 AwesomeMusic/WandaVision


1	As it released more episodes every Friday, ''[=WandaVision=]'' proved that it was capable of delivering both original and some well-known music that will have you singing and dancing along after you hear it.

6	* All of [[https://youtu.be/STa1YUSoFvo the theme songs]], despite being vastly different in style, are well-crafted to reflect the period and tone of the episode while still being clever and catchy. It helps that they were all written and composed by husband-and-wife songwriting team [[Music/RobertLopez Robert and Kristen Anderson-Lopez]], the ones behind ''Franchise/{{Frozen}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}''.
7	* "[[https://youtu.be/X7OWNKZJve4 A Newlywed Couple]]" the theme for the series' '50s-centric first episode incorporates wedding chimes and a classic big band orchestra to give an overall wholesomeness to the start of the ''[=WandaVision=]'' show.
8	* "[[https://youtu.be/pdqUli1OIXU WandaVision!]]" marks the style of the '60s, and somehow manages to make a BrokenRecord of the show’s title into a groovy ear worm that stays stuck in your head.
9	* "[[https://youtu.be/Ie02_d91Tyw We Got Something Cooking]]" is a nice homage to the ''Series/ThePartridgeFamily'' and ''Series/TheBradyBunch'', while also providing romantic lyrics about Wanda and Vision preparing for the birth of their children.
10	* "[[https://youtu.be/pktFnMv_pr0 Making It Up as We Go Along]]" is much more laidback than the bouncy showtimes of before, but still manages to capture the spirit of the 80s in the form of a love ballad between Wanda and Vision.
11	* "[[https://youtu.be/m2L7srq8X2A Let's Keep It Going]]" is set in the fast-paced rock style of ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'', but with much more foreboding lyrics as the singers tell Wanda to keep up the illusion of Westview.
12	* "[[https://youtu.be/rAUWHOajCNs W-V 2000]]" is a bouncy techno instrumental in the style of ''Series/TheOfficeUS'' which really helps enforce the [[TurnOftheMillennium late 2000's]]/[[TheNewTens early 2010s]] style Episode 7 was going for.
13	* Emmy-winning "[[https://youtu.be/P8u8md-NiHM Agatha All Along]]" from the end of "Breaking the Fourth Wall"[[note]]which credited the song as "It Was _____ All Along"[[/note]] is a ridiculously catchy VillainSong for Agatha Harkness inspired by the theme tune from ''Series/TheMunsters''. Mere hours after the episode aired many fans claimed they couldn't get it out of their heads, and it was so popular that it led to the soundtrack for the episode being released three days early. Even [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]] gave it [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_All_Along a full-fledged article]] because of its notable popularity! It even made #1 on the iTunes Soundtrack chart and reached #5 on iTunes' Top 100 singles chart the week it came out, as well as placing 36th on Billboard's Digital Songs Sales chart and reaching 1.6 million streams on the week ending February 25th 2021, which is ''seriously'' impressive for an original song written for a TV show.

17	* [[https://youtu.be/vEkIqUHEzNk Wanda's]] {{Leitmotif}}, used as the end credits theme, is a beautifully eerie contrast to the bouncy sitcom score of the rest of the episode. It's practically screaming "something is ''wrong'' here". It makes an appearance in Episode 8 in a flashback to when Wanda got her powers from the Mind Stone, as well as a ''triumphant'' appearance in Episode 9 when Wanda creates her new Scarlet Witch outfit and showcases how powerful she really is.
18	* [[https://youtu.be/kR3xmwTgdyE "What Is Grief"]] serves as the background music for Wanda and Vision's now-iconic conversation on love and loss in her bedroom at the Avengers compound.
19	* [[https://youtu.be/pMufQiESR_I "Genesis"]] plays over Wanda finally unleashing her grief and creating the Hex all around Westview.
20	* [[https://youtu.be/iq_3hCpHs9c "Ascendant"]] is basically Wanda's {{Leitmotif}} made more triumphant. Fitting, considering this is played when she finally transforms into the Scarlet Witch.
21	* From the last episode, [[https://youtu.be/18tdyS7-jLY "What Am I?"]] is played over the scene of Wanda and Vision tucking in Billy and Tommy for the final time, as well as when they say goodbye to each other. The orchestral swell at the end does nothing short of showcasing just how desperate Wanda is to make these last few minutes with her family stretch, as well as give the listener something like a sense of hopefulness that Wanda and Vision will indeed [[ReunionVow say hello]] once more in the future.

25	* The first official trailer makes excellent use of The Platters' "[[https://youtu.be/UGwa2tw7Vws Twilight Time]]", fading the song out for creepy effect.
26	* The first episode has "[[https://youtu.be/aJfgHSUlr-s Yakety Yak]]" by The Coasters playing in Vision's office as he works. While he seems nonplussed by the song's lyrics, they prove catchy enough for Vision to use them as a karaoke break while trying to entertain the Hart family in his home.
27	* The second episode uses "[[https://youtu.be/QPnBrK6D26g Help Me, Rhonda]]" by Music/TheBeachBoys during the scene where reality begins to intrude on Westview in the form of Jimmy Woo's radio broadcast.
28	* The second episode also has a snippet of "[[https://youtu.be/KtWZxlnxPbI Just Another Girl]]" by Al Hazan and Annete Tucker playing on the radio, which, while set in the '60s in-universe, is actually a song made exclusively for the show (having been released in 2020).
29	* The third episode plays a remix of "[[https://youtu.be/egyitN2cCkQ Daydream Believer]]" by Music/TheMonkees as we get our first look at the real world, shortly after Monica Rambeau is thrown out of Westview.[[labelnote:Also...]]This example has an interesting double meaning, considering one theme of ''Series/TheMonkees'' was the actors' real identities intertwining with their characters' TV world.[[/labelnote]] This was also used in the second trailer of the series, which blends in with the sitcoms across the decades throwback the series is going for, while highlighting that the show feels unreal and plays to Wanda's deepest fantasies.
30	* The fourth episode swaps out the typical end credits theme in exchange for Music/JimiHendrix's "[[https://youtu.be/IZBlqcbpmxY Voodoo Child]]". Not only is it not a typical sitcom theme, reflecting that this isn't a sitcom episode, it's also a perfect description for Wanda and Vision's new twin children, being products of Wanda's reality changing powers.
