40 Old School Disney Channel Songs You NEED On Your Throwback Playlist
Red Carpet Report TV

We’ve gotten to the time when reboots/remakes are at large because nobody else has any more new ideas, and the same could be said for music. With some exceptions, everything worthwhile has already been written about in a song, so it’s good to look back and remember the music we listened to when we were younger, and hey if we still secretly jam out to Disney Channel songs in our twenties--well no one needs to know, do they? Here are songs to add to the throwback playlist you tell yourself that you don't have!

10 Car Sing-alongs

These include upbeat songs that you can’t help but bop your head to or the ones that, even when you haven’t heard them in years, you know all the lyrics to it when it comes on. These bops are definitely a sure fire way to jam with your friends, whether you're looking for quick one jam session or enough for an impromptu road trip.

10 Totally Relatable Tunes

My favorite group of the bunch, these songs packed a punch, hitting us in the feels before fandoms took over. These songs were either provide insight too real topics (for teens, anyway) or was a full on empowerment bop, either way, we all loved songs that could relate to our lives and feelings.

5 Lovely Dove-y Jams

While love may be a foreign concept to us back then, we all thought that these bops were relationship goals before we created the term. These songs either played during a iconic romantic movie moment or they were a duo from our childhood otps, either way, we always have a special scene in mind when they come on.

5 Breakup Bops

Even though most of us were too young to experience a real breakup, we all could jam out to these songs to make us feel like a rock-star. Whether a crush would never see us or we let go of a “relationship” that might have been, we all rocked out to these songs-- giving out imaginary fuck yous before we knew what those were.

5 Catchy Songs From Imaginary “Bands"

Back before the time when every Disney Channel star was also a singer in the making, sometimes music from our favorite artists wasn’t enough. But where there was tv shows, there was a universe that included a fictional band ready with a basic but popular beat that most of us couldn’t get out of head if we tried, not that we really wanted to anyway.
  • Supernova by Proto Zoa and Microbe (Zenon: Girl of the 21st Cent)

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
