Top 10 Best Musical Moments on Bob's Burgers
#10: Linda’s Dinner Theater “Hamburger Dinner Theater”
Hilarious isn’t normally a word you’d use to describe a robbery. But“Bob’s Burgers” served up laughs during one stickup. When Linda decides to host a murder mystery dinner at the restaurant, she suddenly finds herself in the middle of a robbery. To everyone’s surprise, the clever thief plays along and gives the patrons a dazzling show. The audience members absolutely love the unexpected twist as much as we do. And as awful as the thief is, we can’t deny that he has an amazing voice. The number is so good you can see why the customers all think it’s staged. Bob’s exasperation with the whole situation is the perfect cherry on top of the musical fiasco.
#9: Louise's Fever Dream “Flu-ouise”
If you know anything about the youngest Belcher child, you’ll know that she is obsessed with Kuchi Kopi. When Louise catches the flu, she is ecstatic that she gets to stay home from school. But things take a wrong turn when her beloved nightlight is accidentally melted. An angry Louise then has a bizarre fever dream about personified versions of her toys. While all the songs are great, the last number that takes place in a fortress stands out. Not only is it funny, but it’s also a heartwarming song that encourages Louise to forgive her family. The only thing better than a song-filled journey is one that ends in a wholesome family moment.
#8: Gene's Snake Song “It Snakes a Village”
Like Indiana Jones, Gene isn’t the biggest fan of snakes. This becomes a huge problem when the family visits Linda’s parents in a retirement village that happens to be home to a giant python. While Louise and Tina are eager to catch the beast on camera for a cash reward, their brother is not so enthusiastic. Gene’s fear eventually explodes out of him in a song about all the things he isn’t scared of. Although the silly lyrics don’t rhyme or have a consistent theme, the song still manages to be catchy. No matter how you feel about snakes, you’ll find yourself humming this little ditty for days.
#7: Bob & Linda's Wedding Catering Song “Something Old, Something New, Something Bob Caters for You”
Since Bob’s not always a fan of singing, we appreciate anytime he stops to make music with Linda. One of their best duets comes while they’re working at a wedding. The event sparks different feelings within them. While Bob is worried that his food has to be perfect to save a turbulent wedding, Linda just wants to assure her husband that he shouldn’t stress so much over it. Their resulting feelings collide in a fantastic duet that really captures the essence of both their characters. It’ll make you love them more than you already do. As a bonus, hearing Bob’s low voice hit those high notes will never get old.
#6: The "I Love U So Much, It's Scary" Music Video “The Hauntening”
Boyz4Now’s Halloween-themed song will make you understand why Tina is so obsessed with them. This affectionate boy band parody decides to make a romantic ballad out of the scary holiday. Although the lyrics are ridiculous, the song is still frighteningly catchy. The great tune is accompanied by tons of fun costume changes and some expert dance moves. And the combination of their moves and a scary yet upbeat tune gives us serious “Thriller” vibes. If you need to get in a spooky mood, this song will do the trick no matter what time of year it is. By the time the whole family ends up grooving and singing along to the video, you might be too.
#5: "Nice Things are Nice" & "Bad Things are Bad" “Wharf Horse”
When the creators divided the fourth season finale into two parts, we got double the awesome music. The first time we hear "Nice Things are Nice", Bob is excited because the potential sale of the nearby Wonder Wharf would give him the opportunity to open a new restaurant. His optimistic tune eventually pulls in more of the cast to join in. In a great twist, the tune returns as the dark and gloomy "Bad Things are Bad" after Bob and his landlord get into trouble. The small and subtle changes between the tunes are fantastic. And once again, additional cast members join in for the fun. This connected pair of songs perfectly capture how nice and bad the world of “Bob’s Burgers” can be.
#4: "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl" “Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl”
Gene is initially upset when Courtney’s “Working Girl” musical adaptation is chosen over his “Die Hard”-based creation. When he’s caught trying to put up his show on the same night as his rival, he comes up with the genius solution to simply combine the musicals. The resulting show is hilarious and entertaining…even if it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. It’s packed with great references to both movie’s plots. Thanks to the blend, we get action, romance and even a hip-hop number. Even if this mashup doesn’t ever earn a Tony award, it’s guaranteed to win your heart.
#3: "This is Working" “Lindapendant Woman”
Top 10 Musical Moments on Bluey
After Linda gets a job at a grocery store, Bob is left to man the restaurant by himself. Both Belchers try to go about their day as independent people. Linda is thrilled by everything she’s accomplishing solo. By contrast, Bob is still in deep denial that he isn’t working with the love of his life. Their opposing feelings once again come together beautifully in this upbeat and downbeat duet. It’s heartwarming to listen to Bob’s sadness about being away from Linda for just a short while every day. While we hate to see them apart, we love when their separate goals bring them together for a shared song.
#2: Bob & Louise’s Toilet Duet “Glued, Where’s My Bob?”
Top 10 Funniest Bob's Burgers Moments
This father-daughter moment is just plain precious. Well, except for the part where Bob is literally glued to the john. After he gets caught in a Louise prank meant for Gene, he gets worried that he won’t get free before an important journalist arrives. The number the situation inspires is unforgettable. Not only are the harmonies sensational, but the song gives us a chance to get a glimpse at Louise’s softer side. She truly sounds torn up about the situation she got her dad stuck in. Despite the situation being silly and outlandish, the tune still manages to be heartfelt and carry a lot of emotional weight. Who knew a song about the bathroom could be so extraordinary? Before we belt out our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions. Linda’s Thanksgiving Song, “An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal” You Can’t Celebrate Turkey Day Without This Ditty The Quicky Kiss-It Song, “Seaplane!” It Was the Perfect Soundtrack for Tina’s Boy Crazy Fantasies Tabitha Johansson's "Oil Spill", “Food Truckin’” While the Innuendos Are Not Subtle, They Are Hilarious. The Kids' Nice-Capades Song, “Nice-Capades” Singing This Christmas Themed Song Is Guaranteed to Keep You Off the Naughty List "Derek Dematopolis" by The Ta Tas, “Purple Rain-Union” Aunt Gayle Shines With This Ode to Her High School Crush
#1: Louise’s Thomas Edison Project “Topsy”
This is a number that is truly electrifying. Why have a boring science fair entry when you could put on a dazzling show? When Louise wants to highlight the time Thomas Edison harmed an elephant with electricity, she recruits her family and friends to help. While Gene and Tina star as Edison and the elephant Tops onstage, Aunt Gayle and Mr. Fischoeder provide their vocals backstage. This musical moment tops all the others because it goes above and beyond. It executes, pun intended, a brilliant premise perfectly. The performers even bring in a band and a choir to accompany them. While we won’t spoil the ending for anyone who hasn’t seen it, we guarantee it’s shocking in the best way.
