Top 10 Hollywood Undead Songs

Starting off our list with a depressing tone, “Black Dahlia” is considered one of the darker tracks to come out of the Swan Songs era. Dealing with suggestive themes regarding relationships, the track was a surprise hit with fans and critics, as many fans can relate to the song's lyrics. The rap metal tune was also popular enough to garner releasing the song alongside three remix versions.

The youth have spoken. The first single from the band's third album, “We Are” showcases the band’s nu metal and rap rock influences. The song’s music video, which was directed by Slipknot’s Shawn "Clown" Crahan, is the premiere of the band’s newest masks. Much like other entries on our list, the band acknowledges that the track is an anthem for the troubled American youth. Stand up and be proud of who you are.

Another track from the smash hit Swan Songs, “City” gives listeners a different sound to rock out to. Less party-orientated than the rest of the album, “City” is a much softer song, while still featuring aggressive rapping and heavy vocals. A standout track as it doesn't follow the band’s traditional themes, the common theory is that we need to learn that the glamorous life isn't all what it is hyped up to be. Nonetheless, fans will keep listening and sing along. Let's watch the city burn.

True to its name sake, “No. 5” can be found as the fifth track on the band's debut album Swan Songs. One of the catchier tunes on the album, the track doesn't have a superior deeper meaning other than it’s one hell of a party tune. From the obscene lyrics to the impressive rap beat, what else is there to expect from Hollywood Undead? When this song comes on, it’s time to drop it down and shake it like nothing else.

Don't mistake this song for a cheery tune. The eleventh track from Hollywood Undead's second albumAmerican Tragedy, “Bullet” has quickly become the stand out track from the entire album. Known for its dark tones regarding topics like domestic violence and suicide, the track is praised by fans and critics for conquering such dark themes with such an upbeat tone. Featuring a chorus sung by lead guitarist “Charlie Scene”, the song concludes with vocals from a little girl singing innocent lyrics about flying. We wish we could fly too little girl.

Now here is Hollywood Undead's signature party anthem. The fourth official single and third track off of the band's debut album Swan Songs, the song contributed to the band's original “frat party boy” image. Over a dance beat, the song contains overly exaggerated party euphemisms along with sexual themes. Although critics met the track with a lukewarm reception, fans fell in love with it. The music video uses common tropes of the rap genre, featuring lots of girls and lots of partying.

The band's second single from American Tragedy, the track was written during the 2010 United States recession. This event motivated the themes on “Been to Hell”, inspired directly by the idea of striving for fame and fortune but only coming up with failure. Ironically, the track did not become a failure, as it charted at #13 on the US Heatseeker charts and even won an award from AOL Radio. The Undeadpreach about how to achieve success in this cruel, cruel world, and succeed greatly.

Now time to get into the deep end of Hollywood Undead. The first single off of their second studio album American Tragedies, “Hear Me Now” takes a very somber tone right off the bat. While the track is light and upbeat, the lyrics tells the different story of how depression can take over your entire life. This theme worked out for the band, as the track fared well commercially and critically, even being remixed by Korn's Jonathan Davis for the remix album.

Hollywood Undead sure knows how to mix rap and rock. The third single from the certified goldSwan Songs, “Young” is known as one of the band's most rock-orientated song. While still featuring rapping, this track has more emphasis on the rock in rap rock, showcasing some seriously badass guitar in the chorus. The band reached super stardom after the release of this tune, being praised specifically for the song's strong, catchy chorus. We! Are! Young!
