I don't know if it quite counts for the discussion, but this particular remix of Green Light Ride is pretty bad. It sounds fine at first, until it suddenly starts attacking you 50 seconds in.

Follow Me is interesting due to the lyrics being so untied to Sonic. There are thematic parallels, but absolutely nothing strong.
Well it's an Amy song, and the lyrics fit perfectly for that.

A shame Worth a Chance is forgotten as much as it is, as it is kinda one of my favorite ending themes, though it is very disconnected and not as distinct compared to other themes.

Count me as someone who really likes the Crush 40 version of Seven Rings in Hand.

Me too, it's pretty stand out compared to the original version.

An underrated remix for me would be the 2007 rock remix of Un-gravitify from Riders Zero Gravity.

[up]Actually, Green Light is a forgettable song for myself.

We Can, the theme of Team Sonic in Heroes, sounds like a song 4kids would play at the end of Pokémon.

well if we're playing this game now, hot take: I don't particularly like the original version of Dreams of an Absolution.

This would be my answer to the "any vocal songs you don't like" question. I also agree that that remix is much improved.

I also think "Fist Bump" sounds like a poorly-done English cover or dub version of a Japanese anime theme. Not a fan.

I disagree with the SA2 version of Believe in Myself being inferior to SA 1's but that might just be because I played two first.

My Sweet Passion is a fucking bop, despite the nonsensical lyrics, and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise! [lol]

As for regular game soundtracks I think are bad? I think Sonic Advance 1 is mostly very weak. Except for Cosmic Angel Zone, that track's pretty hype. Also, even before I had ever heard the Japanese soundtrack of Sonic CD, I still didn't find the US soundtrack very good. But I know that one's pretty divisive.

Why, oh WHY does Amy's song in "Sonic Adventure" include a lyric that talks about shaving?

Most people shave regardless of gender. I imagine anthropomorphic hedgehogs especially. Still a weird lyric to include.

But shaving a sphinx? (At least, that's what the line sounds like). That's a bit more ambiguous.

"I do understand the feelings of a Persian Cat
(But the Sphinx looked so cute I had to shave it)"

Well you see, it's like a metaphor. It's symbolic of uhhhhhhhhhh

Sphinxes give riddles. Therefore, shaving a sphinx could be a metaphor for shaving the riddle, AKA, solving the riddle. What is the riddle? The meaning of Amy's life. Through the medium of song, she uncovers the meaning of her life, and finally grows as a person. This is definitely the intention, and not just Fan Wank.

Connect that to the Persian cat...

...

Edit: Nevermind, symbolically Cats seem to be related to "independence". So that would track with Amy's story.

Not sure about the Persian part though.

Is there a single bad song or even a song you even remotely dislike in this franchise?

If we're talking songs from soundtracks that aren't generally known to be terrible (like Chronicles), I have a terrible confession to make:

I do not care for City Escape. <runs and ducks for cover>

How dare you! You have betrayed the franchise, you have betrayed the fans, and worst of all, you've betrayed Sonic himself. You should feel ashamed!

Nah, fair enough, it's not everyone's cup of tea. As for tracks I disliked, I can't think of many, but that might just be because I forget the weaker tracks.

In the topic of vocal Sonic series songs I do not like... I have a hot take.

It Doesn't Matter (ver. 2) is a gigantic downgrade when compared to It Doesn't Matter (ver. 1).

Alright I suppose a harder question would be are there any vocal/lyrical songs that you dislike?

We Can, Sonic Heroes, Crush 40 Seven Rings in Hand, and Crush 40 His World don't sound well to me.

I would argue that one's not bad, just caters to a very specific flavor that Sonic songs usually don't do.
