Pascu and Rodri base all their songs on fitting genres, mixups and popular hits to make memorable tunes.

    The Greek Pantheon 
The Greek gods' themes give us a fine introduction of what Pascu and Rodri can do when they are taking cues from several pop genres.
  • Zeus gets an epic song inspired by '80s pop music (mainly Rick Astley) relating the stories of how Zeus trained himself to defeat his father Cronos alongside various of his epic sexual misadventures. It quickly became the most popular story by far and the highest viewed video of the channel.
  • Hades. Inspired by Imagine Dragons' music, it tells about how cool he is and how he kidnapped and married his wife Persephone, who quickly changed her mind once she warmed up to living as the queen of the underworld.
  • Poseidon. Heavily inspired by "Barbie Girl", the story revolves about Poseidon's power, some of his sexual shenanigans and how it affected the victims and the world.
  • Demeter's song, with a melancholic inspiration of "Just Like Fire", shows us how much of a Woobie Demeter is, especially how her daughter's kidnapping emotionally affected her.
  • Hestia's song is a loving tribute to women's 80s pop hits (mainly Cyndi Lauper) and excels in portraying Hestia as a hyper, fun-loving goddess.
  • Hera, inspired by ABBA's "Gimme Gimme Gimme", showcases Hera's pride and vengeful side.
  • Hermes, a fusion between Eurobeat and anime, fitting for a swift deity like him. It also shows the cunning side of this Trickster God that is the patron of travelers, shepherds, merchants and thieves.
  • Hercules. Cleverly taking cues from the soundtrack of his Disney counterpart, the song describes Hercules's more myth-accurate deeds, from his birth, to his Twelve Labors and, lastly, to his demise. Oh, and a list of his lovers (the non females ones).

    The Norse Pantheon 
Relying on The Power of Rock (except by Baldur, so far), the themes of the Norse gods are fun and, more than everything, just plain awesome.
  • Loki, inspired by blink-182's "First Date", displays Loki's fun, trickster nature.
  • Thor, taking cues from Mägo de Oz, tells us the tale of this God of Thunder, his main traits, his fated fight to the death against Jörmundgander and some of his adventures. Not all of them since, as stated, they couldn't fit in a single song.
  • Odin narrates some of the greatest deeds of the Allfather: his slaying of Ymir, the gouging of his eye in exchange of knowledge, his fated death in Ragnarok, etc. All in a bombastic Power Metal tune, reminiscent of Rhapsody of Fire (or DragonForce for the inexperienced). Altough, Herman Li himself made a reaction to it and added some epic riffs to the song, making it even more awesome than one could possibly think.
  • Freyja is a rock tune heavily inspired by Bon Jovi's output. It describes Freyja's aspect as a Goddess of fertility, love and magic, and how annoying it was for her to be such a magnet of Frost Giants and her probable survival from Ragnarok.
  • Baldur is the odd one from them all. Instead of a rock tune, everything shifts to a melancholic, solemn tune with a heavy resemblance to Coldplay's "Paradise". Appropiate for the tragic tale of the God of Light, Beauty and Purity. A beloved deity that died because of Loki's machinations, with his death being one of the first events that kickstarts Ragnarok.

    The Egyptian Pantheon 
Pascu and Rodri barely began making tunes for a brand new pantheon. Even so, in less than a year, they're hitting it real good with their first gods.
  • Ra opens the gateway to a new pantheon with a style that clearly makes a reference, both in music and visuals, to Katy Perry's "Dark Horse". The song narrates the story of the creator God of the Sun, his reign as pharaoh among mortals, his creation of Sekhmet and the yielding of his true name to Isis.
  • Isis, through a rhythm very reminiscent of Earth, Wind & Fire, tells us the tale of a cunning goddess who went miles to help Osiris when he was torn apart and scattered away by Seth. It also shows how she managed to make Ra yield his power through her machinations in order to make sure that Horus, her child, took Ra's place on the throne instead of Seth.

     Miscellaneous 
  • Sun Wukong's theme takes elements from various anime openings. Fitting since Sun Wukong's story inspired probably the most influential anime of all time.
  • Among the Marvel inspired vids, Spiderman, based on old school jazz and Frank Sinatra, is a good summary of the Wall Crawler's life.
