Awesome Music / Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

This is a dark comedy musical. It's filled with awesome musical numbers. So let's list them off:

---

Season 1

• "Josh Just Happens to Live Here!"
  • The first song of the show is "West Covina," a rollicking musical number all about how Rebecca is so in love, on my gosh...with West Covina. It features a big band orchestra and it ends with a giant Busby Berkeley Number where Rebecca is lifted into the air on a giant pretzel.
  • The second song is "The Sexy Getting Ready Song," a Contemporary R&B song all about Rebecca getting ready for her date with Greg. It features also features a real rapper (Nipsey Hussle).
  • The last song of the pilot is "West Covina (Reprise)," a low-key reprise of the first song, but this time it's a duet with Paula (Donna Lynn Champlin), who has an amazing voice.
• "Feelin' Kinda Naughty is a bewildering number about Rebecca's jealousy of Valencia that switches between twisted obsession to jealous desperation on a dime.
• Paula's torch song, "His Status Is Preferred", is a great show-stopper, with a sexy jazz tune and Donna Lynn Champlin rocking it in a beautiful red dress.
• "Where's The Bathroom?" is the ultimate Jewish Mother song and one hell of a showcase for Tovah Feldshuh's talents as a performer.
• "You Stupid Bitch" is a high point of awesome for the show in general (and one that best expresses Rebecca's psyche), being both a spot-on parody of a Whitney Houston-style ballad as well as a boiling, acidic whirlpool of rage and self-loathing.
  Audience: ♫ You ruined everything, you stupid bitch... ♫
  Rebecca: Sing with me!
  Audience: ♫ You ruined everything, you stupid, stupid bitch ♫
  Rebecca: Yes, I deserve this!
• "Flooded With Justice", a spot-on Pastiche of Les Misérables's "Do You Hear The People Sing", is hilarious and awesome at the same time for mimicking the majestic tune of the original piece to talk about water issues. Its reprise, while short, maintains its awesomeness and adds a bit of a heartwarming tone as even losing the case, the people thank Rebecca for fighting for them.
• "Don't Settle For Me" lets Vella Lovell show off her great singing voice.
• "What'll It Be?" is one of the season's (if not the show's) richest musical moments and has moving, heartfelt lyrics that perfectly convey how Greg feels that living in West Covina is holding him back from chasing after what he really wants. (Bonus points because that really is Santino Fontana playing the piano).
  Greg: ♫ Hey, West Covina,
  Why won't you let me break free?
  Am I doomed to stay here
  Pouring my high school friends beers
  For the rest of eternity? ♫
• "Group Hang" is a catchy parody of "Whenever, Wherever" with absolutely hilarious lyrics about Rebecca failing to have a romantic moment with Josh and cultural insensitivity towards Mexicans.
• Darryl's bisexuality song "Gettin' Bi" is not only catchy and funny, but breaks down common misconceptions about bisexual people.
  Darryl: ♫ Now, some may say
  "Aw, you're just gay.
  Why don't you just go gay all the way?"
  Well, that's not it
  'Cause bi's legit!
  Whether you're a he or a she, we might be a perfect fit. ♫
• "I'm the Villain in my Own Story", an Affectionate Parody of Disney's villain songs, in which Rebecca realizes just how much harm she's causing the people around her (by fantasizing about transforming into an "evil witch queen" straight out of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs).
  Rebecca: [upon seeing herself as an evil old hag] ♫ I'm the villain in my own story
  I'm the witch in my own tale
  Though I insist I'm the protagonist
  It's clear that my soul is up for sale ♫
• Greg's Grunge "I Could if I Wanted To" is an awesome tune that explores his Stopped Caring attitude and reveals more about his Fatal Flaw.
• "After Everything I've Done For You (That You Didn't Ask For)", a pitch-perfect pastiche of "Rose's Turn" that not only allows Donna Lynn Champlin the opportunity to truly show off both her vocal skills and dramatic chops, but is also a frankly brilliant deconstruction of co-dependent relationships.
• "One Indescribable Instant," as sung by Josh's aunt, Myrna (played by Lea Salonga), isn't funny like most of the show's songs are, but it adds a nice romantic mood to the season finale, as well as being a perfect pastiche of Disney Animated Canon ballads.

Season 2

• The season 2 opening theme is "I'm Just a Girl in Love", a catchy Busby Berkeley Number detailing how Rebecca definitely can't be held responsible for her actions, and definitely does not have any underlying issues to address.
• "Love Kernels" is a great number to start off the season, a parody of Beyoncé's "Lemonade (2016)" about how Rebecca is desperate to see everything Josh says and does as a subtle "I love you."
• "Maybe This Dream", Paula's "I Want" Song, is a hilarious parody of "Once Upon a Dream" that lets Donna Lynne Champlin show off her amazing vocal range.
• "Greg's Drinking Song" is not only a well-written Irish drinking song, but discusses the realities of alcoholism and how it affects the people around the alcoholic.
• "It Was a Shit Show" is a hilarious and tragic song about Greg reviewing his relationship with Rebecca as a complete catastrophe and explaining why they shouldn't be together.
• "We Tapped That Ass" has Vincent Rodriguez III and Santino Fontana doing an amazing tap dance number.
• While it is a parody of Power Ballads, "You Go First" is a great power ballad in its own right, complete with Paula and Rebecca's '80s Hair getting bigger and bigger as the song progresses.
• "Remember That We Suffered" is a lively klezmer song where Rebecca hears her family talk about the issues and the pains of the Jews over the years, bringing up the Holocaust and Hitler in the middle of an impossibly upbeat tune.
• "Santa Ana Winds" is a fun and catchy little tune sung by an Anthropomorphic Personification of the Santa Ana Winds, who states his intention to narrate the episode and "make things weird" for the main characters.

Season 3

• "Where's Rebecca Bunch?", an Affectionate Parody of Beauty and the Beast's opening number "Belle", and possibly the biggest production of the show so far, with basically every character singing a part of it as Rebecca swears to become a Woman Scorned and her friends worry about her.
• "Let's Generalize About Men" is a fun, '80s style number in which the girls do just that.
• "Head in the Clouds." Vincent Rodriguez III really does have a gorgeous voice, but it's not nearly as showcased as others on the show. Luckily, this song remedies that, and he gets to show off his dancing skill, too!
• "Strip Away My Conscience" is a Chicago inspired song, where Rebecca asks Nathaniel to teach her to be bad. The lyrics mix fun innuendos with a sexy tune. And of course, Rachel Bloom performing a striptease is a very welcome sight.
• "Scary Scary Sexy Lady", a parody of thriller movie openings, is funny as hell for its lyrics skewering the Femme Fatale trope and credits spoofing credits in general ("written by: Josh Chan because that's all his fault" and "Costumes by: Whoever does Rihanna, because OMG").
• "The End of the Movie". Any song performed by Josh Groban is going to be awesome, but the song is really something special, perfectly mixing comedic moments with the sad, hopeless tone of the episode.
• "The First Penis I Saw" is a funny and catchy Pastiche of "Mamma Mia" by ABBA about Paula remembering her past romance.
• "Get Your Ass Out of My House" is a hilarious karaoke piece of Josh's mom telling her son to go and calling him out for being a Manchild, especially awesome if you dislike Josh.
• "This Session is Going to Be Different" is a cabaret-style song sung by Dr. Akopian, with Michael Hyatt going all out on the vocals.

Season 4

• "Anti-Depressants Are So Not A Big Deal" is one of the best numbers in the show's history. Not only is it a great send up of musicals (its melody specifically parodies La La Land), but Rachel Bloom won an Emmy for Best Original Song & Lyrics for co-writing it!
