1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: They have a lot. Some standout examples are ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmacJ5cQ4AU Open Your Heart]]'', ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BryGOBW7f1U Live and Learn]]'', ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0ETLeNOOFI What I'm Made Of]]'', and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDuBtoFn-kk His World]]''.
2** Sonic Youth, which was a callback to multiple Sonic the Hedgehog songs.
3* CoveredUp: Their cover of "Fire Woman" is generally assumed to be about Blaze the Cat. However, they are very quick to point out it's a cover and say that Blaze had nothing to do with the cover. Jun simply wanted a cover song on their 2009 album, and Johnny chose "Fire Woman"
4* MisattributedSong: They get this pretty bad. If its a vocal song in a ''Sonic'' game, they WILL get credited for it by someone. The most prevalent songs to be hit by this are songs associated with Sonic himself, like both versions of ''It Doesn't Matter'' and ''Escape From the City''; it doesn’t help that they were bonus tracks on a Crush 40 album and share a guitarist. Some of the more confusing examples are ''Lazy Days ~ Livin In Paradise'' and ''My Sweet Passion'', the latter of which is sung by a girl. It gets really ridiculous when the [[ThemeTuneRap rap songs from Knuckles' levels]] get attributed to them
5* NarmCharm: Being that most of their lyrics are made to be applicable to video games, this is kinda inevitable. Arguably hits its hardest in the song ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''. If it wasn't for the rockin' music (and Johnny Gioeli's incredible singing), they'd be straight-up {{Narm}}.
6* SignatureSong:
7** ''Live and Learn'', easily their most recognized and respected song from the series to the general audience.
8** ''Open Your Heart'', their first song. Pretty much anything that includes ''Live and Learn'' will have this song as well.
9** ''I Am (All of Me)'' for the more contemporary audience thanks to ''Videogame/ShadowTheHedgehog''.
10* TearJerker:
11** [[SurprisinglyGentleSong "Live Life"]] from ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight'', especially since it's the last game as of yet to feature a new Crush 40 song before ''VideoGame/TeamSonicRacing''.
12** "Watch Me Fly..." from ''NASCAR Arcade'', in the more SugarWiki/{{heartwarming|Moments}} sense. And man, can Johnny really pack a punch with his vocal delivery on this one.
13--->Well I've been wondering about who I am
14--->And just how far I drive to see the end
15--->Where I started from, where I believe I've won
16--->And as the sweat rolls down my face
17--->I put my heart into this place of mine
18--->Go back in time to see what I'm living in
19* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Johnny Gioeli's confident and sincere vocals can make the cheesiest lyrics sound incredible. His cover of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNh-jNmKWfY Sonic Boom]] is probably the best example of this.
