Awesome Music / Grojband

Go To

As a show about a band that has to create new songs for every gig, Fresh TV's Grojband naturally features tons of awesome music, as any fan of the show can tell you. Every episode has at least one great piece in it, with the series engaging in a diverse array of styles, genres, and experimentation. In fact, you could probably put the entire show's soundtrack on this page!


  • While the theme song used in the final product is rather underwhelming, the extended version originally planned for the series (before Executive Meddling forced the creators to shorten the series’ episodes from 22 minutes to 10 minutes) is quite something, with a much better flow, stronger lyrics, and a longer run that better explains the show's premise.
  • In "Cloudy with a Chance of Malt Balls", "Cherry Cherry" is an excellent first song for the show's world premiere on Cartoon Network in the United States with its catchy beat and lyrics. Perhaps it's because the song title has a girl's name in it, but it sounds like something the Beatles might have recorded early in their career.
  • "Chickenpox Rocks" in "Pox 'n Roll". Rap in children's media is usually stereotyped as terrible, but Grojband breaks the mould to instead produce a head-banging song with a fantastic beat that actually sounds like it could be legit.
  • "Indie Road Rager" has "Thrash, Bash, Burn, and Crash" features a mean guitar solo from Corey.
  • "Math Song" from "Math of Kon". If the catchy tune and lyrics don't get you, the song is still worth listening to solely for Kon's fantastic drum solo, complete with some great bongo-style drumbeats when he ends up breaking his drumsticks ("Kon go bongo!").
  • "My Secret is Out" in "Space Jammin'" features some great beats and lyrics, with Kin's keyboard/synth music being utilized quite well to fit the episode's sci-fi theme. The fact that it utterly thrashed The Orb Experience's tacky song makes it all the better.
  • "I Wish Away My Wishes" from "Wish Upon a Jug" really demonstrates how Grojband (both the band and the show) is not afraid of stepping outside its usual pop rock format to tackle very different styles (in this case, jug music) and still capture the spirit of the show's musical style. And the chorus line is really catchy too.
    'Cause everything that's happened
    Made a big ol' mess of me
    So I wish away my wishes

  • "All You Need is Cake" gives us "Please Come Back", a genuinely heartwarming love duet that also features some beautiful singing from Laney (for the first time not singing backup to Corey). Man, do Corey and Laney make an amazing (singing) pair!
  • "Perfect" from "Helmet" uses traditional Alpine music to create a beat that's just too fun not to bob to. And the yodeling performed by Grojband at the end of the song somehow manages to be both incredibly silly and utterly awesome at the same time.
  • From the episode of the same name comes the very majestic-sounding "Queen Bee", which also features some elegant violin music from Laney.
  • "We're Not Heroes" in "Super Zeroes" has a triumphant-sounding beat with a heroic tone that feels like it could have been in an actual superhero cartoon.
  • In "Knight to Remember", there's "Go Away". As simplistic as the song's title is, the splendid medieval-sounding music used in the piece makes Grojband's battle against Lord Smashius all the more epic.
  • "Line of Credit" gives us "Knock It Off", a nu metal-based song with some aggressive-sounding beats and tough-sounding lyrics that really match the band's juvenile delinquent getups for the episode.
  • "Dog Gone" from "Hair Today, Kon Tomorrow", a heavy metal-inspired song featuring a sick drum solo from Kon.
  • "My Heart is in the Sea" from "On the Air and Out to Sea" has a great sea shanty feel and one of the few instances of woodwind music being used prominently in the show. You really feel like you could be singing this song on board a pirate ship or while sailing the ocean!
  • "You're Going Down" from "Ahead of Our Own Tone" has a really nice techno beat that makes effective use of the beeping sounds from old computers and phones and combines it with light electronic music to capture the episode's futuristic theme.
  • "Six Strings of Evil" gives "No, I Won't Play", a hard-rocking song that adds to the drama of Corey's struggle against the Blue Star of Rocklympus' control over him. The accompanying visuals also contain some Awesome Art, with amazingly accurate animation of Corey's fingers running down the guitar's neck strings.
  • "We are Victorious" from "Rock the House" combines a badass tune with equally badass boasting from Grojband in lyrical form that matches thematically with the song's title. And any resemblance to a certain Queen song is totally not coincidental and only makes the song all the more awesome.
  • "War and Peaceville" gives us "Peaceville Anthem", which is worth hearing just for Nick Mallory getting to sing entirely solo. It's worth noting that Nick's voice actor Graeme Cornies is in fact a singer himself, being one of the show's composers and the singing voice heard in the Total Drama theme song, so credit must be given to the production crew for finally giving him a chance to show off his vocals in the show.
  • In "Myme Disease", there's "Quiet Noise". Somehow with Corey's initiation, he and the rest of the band are able to produce a head-banging Call-and-Response Song. Some YouTube users have commented that without lyrics and vocals, it sounds like it should be from a video game.
  • "1 + 1" from "Kon-Fusion" is a great piece of fusion music that does a solid job of jumping between the dissonant styles and vocals of The Newmans and Grojband in a natural manner. Also, Lyon Smith is able to sing just as well in Carrie's high-pitched, friendly tone as he does in Corey's hostile masculine one for the song.
  • The song in "In Err Face", "You've Turned All My Protons into Kon-tons" includes a wicked keyboard/synth solo from Kin.
  • "This Bubble Don't Pop" from "Pop Goes The Bubble". Created in imitation of classic bubblegum pop music, it seriously feels like it could be in a real Coca-Cola or Pepsi commercial.
  • "Girl Fest" sees the debut of Laney's angry solo, "You're So Untrue", not only dissing Candy Jams but doing so in song. Laney's channeled rage is easily heard in the song's furious vocals (and honestly, not giving props to Bryn McAuley for her performance here would be shameful) and the aggressive beat, creating a piece that is just too good for words.
  • "The Bandidate" gives us "Bring Her Down", which combines awesome vocals from Corey about standing up to Trina's tyrannical rule of Peaceville with an equally pumping tune.
  • In "The Pirate Lounge for Me", we have "You've Got Nothing". Not only is it a relaxing old-fashioned tune that sounds like it came straight out of a Jazz lounge, but it's also very satisfying to hear Mayor Mellow (or his voice actor Kedar Brown depending on how you see it) being given the opportunity to sing alongside Corey.
  • "I'm Back" in "Hologroj" has a hardcore rock beat and some excellent vocals... Even if it is just being performed by mere holograms of Grojband.
  • "Kitty Rocks", the song from "The Snuffles with Snarffles", is a really fun and lighthearted tune that gives a good sense to its subject of gushing over a Cute Kitten.
  • "B.O. Away" from "Bee Bop A Loofah". For a song about taking showers, it's got ridiculously infectious beats and lyrics.
  • From "Soulin' Down the Road", there's "These Old Rusty Eyes". With its jazzy tune and vocals, this take on soul music legitimately sounds like something straight out of the rock 'n roll radio stations of the 1950s.
  • The eponymous song of "That's My Jam" combines a catchy beat with equally catchy lyrics to make a song that you genuinely can't help but pump to the beat with. And you just want to sing to the chorus.
    That's my jam! That's my jam!
    I know you like it sir, and I know you like it, ma'am
    But that's my jam! That's my jam!
    Can't take it away 'cause jammin's what I am
  • "I Must Be Losing My Mind" from "For Hat and Country". Say what you want about country music, but that song has to easily be one of the most infectious in the entire series, especially the chorus.
    Like a cow without a cowboy
    And a chin that's lost its cleft
    I must be losin' my mind 'cause that's 'bout all I got left
    He must be losin' his mind 'cause that's 'bout all he's got left
  • "Love, It's in My Heart" from "It's in the Card". Series co-creator Todd Kauffman calls it one of his favorite songs from the series, and it's not hard to see why. With its touching lyrics and leisurely beat, you could seriously put that song in actual Valentine's card!
  • "Saxsquatch" has "One More Memory of You", a jazzy song about love that also features some sick saxophone tunes coming from the episode's guest musician, Gary the Sasquatch (even despite the fact the episode ridicules saxophone music at several points).
  • "Our Number Ones Always Came First" from "Group Hug" is a heartwarming tribute to Grojband's fans (both in-universe and out) with a warm tune and touching lyrics thanking the Groupies for their loyalty to the band.
  • "Curse of the Metrognome" has "When We Make Today Our Day", a rock cover of "Auld Lang Syne" celebrating the New Year and the band's adventures (complete with a few Squee-inducing moments between Corey and Laney).
  • In "Dueling Buttons", there's "Sick Tricky Lick and a Pick Flick". With heavier guitar playing and better lyrics and vocals, Grojband was able to take a trite melody that Trina came up with and make it sound cooler.
  • The Grand Finale "Hear Us Rock!" ensures the show goes out with a bang, and that applies to its final two songs:
    • "If the World is Ending", a very fast-paced song about making the most of the last days on Earth and celebrating everything the good run. And respect to the voice actors for somehow managing to keep pace with the speedy lyrics!
    • "I'm Giving It All" is combines a serious tune with some great vocals that give a genuine sense of epicness to what Grojband believes may end up being their final concert as they save the world from being destroyed by an asteroid. Grojband honestly couldn't have created a better piece as its final song.
