Top 10 Zombies Franchise Songs
#10: “Nothing But Love”
“Zombies 3” (2022)
Top 10 Underrated Love Songs in Movie Musicals
As the closing number of the third installment, this song essentially wraps up the live-action film series – for now, at least. It brings together zombies, werewolves, aliens, and cheerleaders to celebrate diversity in Seabrook. The lyrics of the first verse speak to the lessons learned throughout the three movies. The chorus repeats the title, sending “nothing but love” and embracing individuality. With a fun melody, exciting sets, and the inclusion of all the monsters, this scene sums up the series perfectly. We love when a Disney Channel original movie ends with a group song and dance, and this one pulls out all the stops.
#9: “I'm Winning”
“Zombies 2” (2020)
Top 10 Best Tangled Franchise Songs
The songs from the franchise take inspiration from a variety of popular music genres. The best example of rap comes from the second movie, during the class presidential debate. While no one is surprised when Bucky announces his candidacy, Zed’s decision to also run causes a division in the school. They make their cases in the form of a rap battle, both convinced they have what it takes to win over the crowd. The lyrics have some fun monster-themed zingers, and the bleachers inspire unique choreography. From a narrative perspective, this number drives the plot forward with Zed ultimately winning public opinion. Sadly, it also sets him up to fall even harder when his Z-Band shorts out in front of the crowd.
#8: “I'm Finally Me”
“Zombies 3” (2022)
Top 10 Best Frozen Franchise Songs
Meg Donnelly in the lead role is a star, and this power ballad is her best solo number. Throughout the series, her character struggles to find a place where she feels like she belongs. When the cheerleader discovers her extraterrestrial spark, she gains a new sense of self-confidence. The song begins a little slow, but really picks up once Addison starts leading her team towards the competition stage. It ends as an anthem with rhythms inspired by cheer to suit the situation. With catchy vocal runs and self-assured lyrics, this song has us singing along every time it comes on.
#7: “Exceptional Zed”
“Zombies 3” (2022)
Following up one confidence boost with another, this number is all about hyping up the series’s leading man. Zed is potentially the first zombie to ever go to college and is feeling the pressure. He expresses doubt preparing for his interview but the town rallies around him, cheering him on. The kind-hearted monster learns to look at himself the way his friends and family do. As the gang make their way through Seabrook, a slew of characters make appearances. The catchy chorus lifts not only Zed’s spirit, but ours as well. Milo Manheim is a charismatic singer and dancer, and we love to see him lead a group number.
#6: “Fired Up”
“Zombies” (2018)
Top 10 Times Actors Got FIRED From Movies
The Disney Channel franchise has a ton of killer group numbers, no pun intended. But this beat from the original movie is so good, it’s used more than once. First performed during Addison’s tryout, the energetic tune is the perfect pairing for some cheer inspired choreography. Trevor Tordjman steals the show with his performance as the narcissistic but talented cheer captain Bucky. With a few instances of physical humor sprinkled throughout, this scene has singing, dancing, and comedy. The song becomes the cheerleading theme for the series with multiple iterations performed throughout the three films. From the Regional Cheer Championship to the werewolves’ tryout, this one’s a staple.
#5: “Like the Zombies Do”
“Zombies 2” (2020)
Top 10 Memorable Zombies in Movies
Hoping to win their votes in the election for class president, Zed gives the werewolves tips on how to succeed at Seabrook High. The green-haired monster suggests that Willa and her pack try to fit in among the rest of the students. But the werewolves remain unconvinced and unimpressed. This scene is a favorite because the lyrics are fun, the melody is catchy, and the dancing is contagious. Milo Manheim kills it as the charismatic football player, but we also love the wolf pack’s rebellious dynamic. This song is a fun collision of monsters, and we can’t get enough of it.
#4: “We Own the Night”
“Zombies 2” (2020)
Top 10 Best Beauty and the Best Songs
The werewolves of the Forbidden Forest first appear in the sequel, and this is their perfect introductory number. Fun and empowering, it’s an anthem for the free-spirited. The song features pack alpha Willa, her brother Wyatt, and the overly enthusiastic Wynter played by Baby Ariel. Under the cover of darkness, the wolves make their way through the woods and towards the high school. They dance as they go, with choreography full of attitude and athleticism. Wild, stylish, and undeniably cool, the new monsters provide a different flavor to the franchise.
#3: “Ain't No Doubt About It”
“Zombies 3” (2022)
Top 10 Best Songs from the Aladdin Franchise
This duet is so cute, it’s actually our favorite song from the third movie. In their final year at Seabrook High, Addison and Zed discuss their future while on the way to school. They remain optimistic with each other but confide their doubts to the camera. The couple dances in and out of dangerous situations, coming close to a bad ending more than once. The juxtaposition suits the lyrics so the scene feels cohesive. With a top tier melody, fun choreography, and situational humor, this number has so much to offer. Even without the dancing and sets, this song is great.
#2: “Someday”
“Zombies” (2018)
When it comes to the duets in this franchise, there’s only one that can top our previous pick. This number from the original film features Addison and Zed before they officially become a couple. Together, the zombie and cheerleader imagine a future where they can be together. The tune is reprised multiple times throughout the three movies. From the ballad in the first to the group rendition in the third, we love all versions. We especially like the lyrical changes made in the sequel that reflect growth in Addison and Zed’s relationship. Milo Manheim and Meg Donnelly’s chemistry is a highlight of the series. This song perfectly exemplifies why.
#1: “Flesh & Bone”
“Zombies 2” (2020)
Ideal for belting, dancing, and inspiring a call to action, this track is a power anthem. The group number comes at a pivotal moment in the second film. When the werewolves’ source of power is in danger, the other students of Seabrook High come to the rescue. Overcoming their differences, the teenaged monsters and cheerleaders join together in the fight for what’s right. The music is epic with a chorus that speaks to a new generation. The choreography changes to suit the different groups of students, ranging from aggressive for the wolves to cheer-inspired for, you guessed it, the cheerleaders. Optimistic and empowering, this is sure to be a classic for years to come.
