The 11 Best Songs From The “Mean Girls” Musical Soundtrack

Instagram

Recently, I've been obsessing over the "Mean Girls" musical soundtrack. If you having haven't had a listen, please go do it now! The musical has some of the most amazing songs that includes some of the iconic catchphrases from the original "Mean Girls" Movie. At the 2018 Tony's "Mean Girls" was nominated for twelve tony's so it is definitely worth a listen. Anyways, this is my opinion on a ranking of the best songs, and I'm stand behind my remarks.

1. “Where Do You Belong?”

So, so, so, so, good! This song guides the cafeteria scene in which Cady (Erika Henningsen) is introduced to all of the different cliques at North Shore High. Damian (Grey Henson) leads the song and he is absolutely phenomenal. Watch the cast perform this live at the Tony's.

2. “Revenge Party”

Another amazing song! It follows the point in the movie when Janis (Barrett Wilbert Weed) and Cady scheme on how to get revenge on Regina (Taylor Louderman) after she stole Aaron (Kyle Selig) from Cady. Note: it's such a good bop to dance to.

3. “Meet The Plastics"

The queen plastics are introduced here, and the feeling and emotional symphony that is Regina George will have you quaking. Also, Karen (Kate Rockwell) and Gretchen (Ashley Park) have such cute solos, I thrive.

4. “I’d Rather Be Me"

This song is so underrated and is a classic feminist bop! It has such an amazing beat that it could honestly become a radio hit. This song is set after Regina unleashes the contents of the burn book to the whole school, and the girls are called to an assembly in the gym. Watch Janis smash it at the "Tonight Show's" performance.

5. “Stupid With Love”

I love how this song showcases Cady's life in Kenya versus her current situation. It's not only humorous but also relatable to all teens. It takes place when Cady meets Aaron for the first time and falls deeply in love. Additionally, in this song Cady showcases some of the awkward moments we all have when talking to our crushes.

6. “It Roars”

media.giphy.com

This song is our introduction to Cady and reveals a little more information about her character than we're given in the original movie. It's a powerful song that has some extremely relatable lyrics and will have you crying and laughing.

7. “Apex Predator”

When Cady tells Janis that she thinks Regina isn't that bad, this is Janis' response. Regina seems like a goddess, but she is extremely vicious. Its such a bop and Janis' voice is so effortlessly cool. Watch the cast's "Today Show" performance.

8. “What’s Wrong With Me?”

Gretchen Weiners' solo is everything you could ever want and more. Unlike the movie, Gretchen's character and her insecurities are deeply revealed in this song. It details Gretchen's doubts about her friendships with the manipulative Regina. Gretchen seems to always need approval from Regina and this song disclosures some of the problems with that.

9. “Stop”

media.giphy.com

This is one of the best advice type of songs I've ever heard. It brings "Mean Girls" up to the modernity of 2018 relationships, and it showcases more of Damian and Cady's relationship that we don't necessarily see in the movie.

10. “Sexy”

media.giphy.com

Karen's solo is almost as amazing as Gretchen's! I love how the score of the song is in alignment with Karen's stupidity, if that makes sense. But more of Karen's personality is revealed here along with some comedic flares that we also don't see in the movie. This song takes place right before the iconic Halloween party scene.

11. “Do This Thing”

media.giphy.com

The song takes place at the mathletes competition. Its so fun and so cute, and I love the personal realization Cady has during this song.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
