Top 20 Phineas and Ferb Songs

In her latest futile attempt to bust Phineas and Ferb, Candace suffers from an allergic reaction brought on by wild parsnips. Suddenly, Candace sounds less like Ashley Tisdale and more like co-creator Dan Povenmire putting on an extra raspy voice. Getting nowhere with mom, as usual, Candace lets out her pent-up frustration in a blues number. Candace lists off all the things her brothers have done, from building a roller coaster to taking her back in time, all of which happened in previous episodes. Despite being largely episodic, “Phineas and Ferb” has surprisingly good continuity and this song demonstrates why. In-jokes aside, “E.V.I.L. B.O.Y.S.” still works as a standalone tune that’ll have you rocking and knitting to the beat.

#9: “There’s a Platypus Controlling Me” “Brain Drain”

Top 10 Most Underrated Phineas and Ferb Songs

Quite literally crashing a junkyard party that Vanessa is attending, Doofenshmirtz brings things to a screeching halt when his hands get glued to a couple of records. Thanks to Perry the Platypus and his own mind control helmet, DJ Doof gets the party back on track with some skillful scratching. Carrying a funky hip hop sound, Doof’s on the spot tune means exactly what it sounds like. The pretentious young rebels in the audience, however, try to find a deeper meaning in the lyrics, drawing parallels between the platypus and the man. In a way, “There’s a Platypus Controlling Me” does make clever commentary, poking fun at “social message” songs that aren’t as profound as people think. Or maybe we’re reading too much into it.

#8: “Queen of Mars” “Unfair Science Fair Redux (Another Story)”

Candace probably won’t join the Disney Princess lineup anytime soon, but she did technically become a queen a few years before Elsa did. A lonely afternoon brings Candace to Mars where the green inhabitants crown her their queen. The Martians have the makings of a Calypso musical group, complete with body parts that function as instruments. This paves the way for a catchy song led by Candace about her newfound confidence. “Queen of Mars” has an otherworldly rhythm to it, almost like something you’d hear in a “Star Wars” cantina. It also possesses a pop princess vibe, calling a certain Britney Spears music video to mind. The one downside is that the song only lasts so long, but that’s what we have extended versions for!

#7: “Come Home Perry” “Oh, There You Are, Perry”

For all the wacky shenanigans, this show knows how to tug at the heartstrings and this Daytime Emmy-nominated song is among the most touching examples. When Perry goes missing longer than usual, the gang devises a plan to get his attention. They perform a loving tune dedicated to the pet platypus atop a tall building, taking a page from the Beatles’ iconic rooftop concert. Like the best Beatles songs, “Come Home Perry” has a unifying sentiment that brings everyone together. Candace, feeling responsible for his disappearance, brings the song home and, in due course, brings Perry home. It’s a song that really hits where the heart lives and also asks the age-old question, “how many words can you rhyme with Perry?”

#6: “S.I.M.P. (Squirrels In My Pants)” "Comet Kermillian"

Sometimes the most infectious “Phineas and Ferb” songs are the ones with the most bizarre lyrics. You certainly wouldn’t expect a song about having squirrels in your pants to raise the roof. Yet, Candace turns her cries for help into a hip hop hit with help from 2 Guyz N the Parque. Once again, the writers come with some incredibly inventive rhymes, running through almost every conceivable word that sounds like pants. As goofy as the setup is, “Squirrels In My Pants” - or “S.I.M.P.” - legitimately makes you want to get up and dance, although we wouldn’t suggest mimicking Candace’s spasmodic moves. The next time your pants are infested with squirrels, you know what song to play while waiting for animal control.

#5: “Summer Belongs to You” “Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!”

A special episode deserves to end with a special song and “Summer Belongs to You” is among the show’s most ambitious production numbers. Returning home from their most epic day of summer yet, the gang performs a tune that perfectly encompasses the series’ central theme: summer vacation has no limitations, so don’t waste a single day. It’s also a character-driven tune, bringing Phineas closer to Isabella and Candace taking a step forward with Jeremy. “Summer Belongs to You” is as rousing as a Broadway musical finale and as crowd-pleasing as a Disneyland parade. It’s the kind of song you’d want to hear at a music festival in the midst of summer, celebrating the good times you’ve had and the new memories waiting on the horizon.

#4: “A-G-L-E-T” “Tip of the Day”

Chances are you didn’t know what the end of a shoelace is called before “Phineas and Ferb” came along. Thanks to this uplifting rock song, we’ll never forget these five letters. To raise aglet awareness, the gang holds a concert reminiscent of Live Aid, appropriately calling the event Aglet Aid. Aglets not only keep your shoelaces from unraveling, but keep the whole world tied together… well, not really, but the characters sing about aglets with such passion that it’s hard not to share their enthusiasm. “A-G-L-E-T” does something truly extraordinary, crafting a toe-tapping and even inspirational number around what seems like such an insignificant invention. After hearing it once, you’ll walk away with a newfound appreciation for this everyday item… even if you wear sandals.

Tracking a former drummer down to a library, the boys learn that Sherman/Swampy lost his rhythm in a metronome factory. Rock and roll still flows through his veins, however, even if he doesn’t realize it. Scoring a Primetime Emmy nomination, this percussion-heavy song brings out the beat in a stamp and some books. The melody keeps building as a bass sound and Ferb’s tambourine enter the mix. “Ain’t Got Rhythm” shows that music is all around, whether you look in a pencil cup, a file cabinet, or a book. It isn’t long until Swampy makes the leap from banging on bookshelves to playing an actual drum set. Even if things didn’t work out with Love Händel, he’d fit in well with the cast of “Stomp.”

As two of the best singers in the cast, it was only a matter of time until Ashley Tisdale and Olivia Olson shared a duet. As different as they are, Candace and Vanessa have more in common than one would anticipate. Just as Candace aspires to bust the boys, Vanessa is bent on proving to her mother that Doofenshmirtz is a diabolical evildoer. These two storylines converge in an R&B number that would feel right at home playing over the opening credits of a spy movie. The fact that Doof is essentially an idiotic James Bond villain only makes it more fitting. With an electronic beat and invigorating lyrics, “Busted” will make any listener want to bust a move. Before we unveil our top music video, here are a few honorable mentions. “Disco Miniature Golfing Queen” “Put That Putter Away” “Everything’s Better with Perry” “Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension” (2011) “What Might Have Been” “Act Your Age” “My Nemesis” “It’s About Time!” “Gimme a Grade” “The Baljeatles” Fake #1 #1: “My Name Is Doof” “Phineas and Ferb's Musical Cliptastic Countdown” His name is Doof, and we’ll do what he says. Whoop, whoop! Okay, let’s get real.

In an effort to become one-hit wonders, Phineas and Ferb devise a pop single that’s so simple, yet so sensational. The lyrics may be intentionally meaningless, but “Gitchee Gitchee Goo” will burrow its way into your head and your heart. This song is so beloved by fans that it was voted #1 on the show’s first musical countdown. In honor of its victory, an extended version was released with additional lyrics and vocals. As one of the first tunes written for the series, Disney supposedly asked the creators to compose a new song for each episode after hearing it. So, if it weren’t for “Gitchee Gitchee Goo,” some other songs on this list might not even exist. That’s all the more reason to love it.
