hey everyone i'm rebecca and welcome to
watch mojo
today we're counting down our picks for
the top 10 best songs from big mouth
[Music]
we're looking at the catchiest and most
outrageous songs from this netflix
animated series
what's your favorite musical number from
big mouth be sure to let us know in the
comments
all right let's get into it number 10
code switching are you serious you don't
have one of these
what you don't have a code switch no how
does a code switch work
well it's a little tricky but let me
break it down for you big mouth has made
it very clear that there's
no aspect of puberty that it's afraid to
touch throughout the seasons however
it's shown that it's equally adept at
tackling a wide range of issues and
themes
cause when you're young and black you
develop a knack for putting the world
at ease in season four a visit to
missy's extended family has her
questioning what her racial identity
means to her
devon has some insight to share with her
about his experience as one of the few
black kids at school
but his lesson in code switching
underscores a very real and
problematic pressure felt by many people
of color
[Music]
the song is catchy as hell and it's easy
to get caught up in the fun of it all
but what devon is describing is also an
exhausting way to live
who needs a boy valentine's day it's
wonderful it's
it's it's a day of hugs and snuggles
a time to spread your loving seeds in
this extra-long valentine's day special
songwriter mark rivers treats fans to an
extra large serving of musical fun
valentine's day cuts right to the core
of the pressure and disappointment
so often associated with the holiday
and changes an alternate version of the
show's theme song
is one of the most beautiful
performances in big mouth to date
thanks to maya rudolph's incredible
voice
[Music]
when the credits roll on the episode
though it's matthew and jesse's duet
that really stays with you
with some banter from connie and maurice
the pair sings an old-timey ode to
friendship that's sure to ring true with
anyone who finds themselves
single on valentine's day who needs a
boy
number eight life is an effed up mess
love doesn't last forever it will die
and break your heart
and you can't have a sexual awakening
without tearing lives apart
inspired by the group dance number the
electric slide this song is a whole lot
of fun
what makes it such a standout however is
the jarring contrast between the overall
energy and the lyrical content
[Music]
as jessie learns on the day of her
disastrous bat mitzvah
sometimes there's nothing you can do but
laugh in the face of the bad stuff
there's comfort in the chaos when you
learn to let go
it's an important lesson but more
importantly it's one hell of a good time
when your parents fight in front of
everyone and you wind up with coach
steve as your dj
what else can you do but sing and dance
your way through it thanks for the pep
talk gang and it doesn't get any better
when you're dead
number seven everybody bleeds
big mouth often uses musical numbers to
really hammer home the central theme of
an episode
rarely has this been more true than with
everybody bleeds
which is both the song and episode title
there are few people who can honestly
say that getting their first period was
a forgettable experience
it's a life event that unlike so many
others simply
cannot be scheduled in hindsight it
might make for a good story
but in the moment well you really hope
it doesn't happen on a field trip to the
statue of liberty
after punching jay in the throat jesse
rides the bus home to the tune of a slow
jam sung by none other than
a tampon
[Music]
it's graphic but it's also extremely
relatable
number six cafeteria girls theme song
i'm not gonna pass out if you promise
not to sing promises are made to be
broken
another title song cafeteria girls takes
its name from nick and andrew's seventh
grader romantic interests
she's my best friend and i'm a little
shorter than her and together
we're making sustained eye contact with
you guys
[Music]
but here's the thing boys they're not
just romantic interests
these girls have names feelings and
desires
well i'm izzy and this is misha as it
turns out they even have their very own
show
cafeteria girls big mouth is a very meta
series
so it was only a matter of time until
they gave us a show within a show
you guys are literally on our show what
uh cafeteria girls
[Music]
but who could have predicted that a fake
show would have such a catchy and
memorable little theme song
cafeteria girls is so short we were
hesitant to add it to our list
but the theme music becomes a recurring
gag throughout the episode
which arguably gives it a leg up on
longer songs
number five guy town i present to you
guy towel jay this place is a total
bummer are you
kidding me the bachelor lifestyle is
often romanticized
and that's exactly what the divorcees
and single dudes of guy bilzerian's guy
town do in this song
[Music]
hang your balls in the breeze free of
societies
in reality guy town is rundown sleazy
and
altogether gross but the musical number
it inspires is an
undeniable hit
it's got the zany feel-good energy of an
80s or 90s sitcom
but instead of a family frolicking in a
park or getting into wacky hijinks in
the kitchen the men of guy town are
buying personal care products and
trimming a suggestive topiary garden
guy town is just about the last place
you'd want to actually live
but based on this song yeah this is a
spin-off that we would genuinely watch
disclosure the musical this is the
audition for disclosure the musical it
is based on the 1994 movie disclosure
which was not a musical starring michael
douglas and demi moore
it's easy to forget that disclosure the
movie the musical
was not in fact the season three finale
it was just so good
[Music]
as far as musical episodes go however
this was the last of the season
and boy did the big mouth songwriter
mark rivers ever go out on a high note
between disclosure and missy's two
separate musical numbers
this episode gives glee a run for its
money cause an aggressive
woman likes to be on top
the episode opens with caleb providing
an introduction to bridgeton middle
school's new theater production
a musical adaptation of the 1994 erotic
thriller disclosure
it is a wildly inappropriate choice but
it's hard to argue against the resulting
songs
and stinging commentary it's
ridiculously exposition heavy and a
great parody of high school musicals in
general
number three sex on a lady but what if
i'm not
good at it exactly what am i gonna do
hit songs come and go but sex on a lady
has
burned itself into our collective minds
i wanna do
sex on a lady but i'm not really sure
i can coach steve is a gift to comedy
he's a walking quote machine each word
that comes out of his mouth is somehow
funnier than the last
but when he starts singing that is when
the magic
really happens
[Music]
then i'll go
in this unforgettable season two episode
coach steve
finally loses his virginity to jay's mom
no less
in the lead-up to the big moment stephen
is hormone monster rix sing about
well we'll just let them do their thing
i'm gonna do sex on a lady
and that lady's gonna do sex on me
there are a lot of creative ways to
describe intercourse but
sex on a lady sets a new bar for
hilarity may we
never hear the words make thick ever
again
oh i'm not gonna stop to let through
doing sex on a lady
number two i love my body hot diggity
damn
whoa look at this cornucopia
when one of their classmates begins
developing earlier and more obviously
than the other girls
jessie and missy find themselves
suddenly self-conscious about their own
bodies
one of the biggest ways in which
bigmouth has pushed the envelope is with
cartoon nudity
even so we were not prepared for this
musical number and the sheer amount of
animated flesh that would accompany it
god made us in her
image
netflix might be able to get away with
it but sadly we
cannot you'll just have to watch it for
yourself just because these women are
okay with their gross bodies doesn't
mean you get to be
skin parade aside i love my body as just
a really
really solid and well-written song
empowering and reminiscent of i will
survive
this song is a bop with serious disco
vibes
i love the disco vibes of that song and
its message
that's the great thing about this show
isn't it anyway we've got a slew of
raunchy
and catchy songs to get through in the
honorable mentions and then we will
crown our top song from big mouth
i used to be her favorite not many jokes
here just a heartfelt song from a son
who feels abandoned
her favorite
i used to be her favorite
[Music]
the [ __ ] walk a great song about sexism
and the male gaze
[Music]
the spectrum of sexuality a magician
ghosts and a boner hat
what's not to like whatever horny peel
election makes a wider prompts erection
it's all there on the spectrum of
sexuality
poop madness take a journey down the
rabbit hole into andrew's
gastrointestinal nightmare
boy you have fuzzy bloomsy sweetsy
[Music]
browns god i do
i really do shame a rocking lesson in
self-consciousness from the shame wizard
making life just a little bit alive

number one totally gay being gay can be
bloody brilliant how so freddie mercury
i was hoping you would ask what's it
like
[Music]
the show might be called big mouth but
the biggest thing here
are the personalities and in the history
of music
there have been few figures with a
bigger personality than
queen singer freddie mercury funny man
and director jordan peele is credited
with mercury's voice work
but when it comes time to sing he handed
off the mic to vocalist brendan mccreary
for a spot on
impression when you're gay every day
is a non-stop cabaret you've got style
and flair you're loved everywhere except
for north carolina
the instrumentation to the vocals if not
the lyrics
the resulting number feels perfectly at
home in the queen catalog
it even earned an emmy nomination
[Music]
catchy and empowering this song
encompasses everything we've come to
love about the music of big mouth
even if mercury himself didn't actually
identify as gay
most people thought i was gay but i'm
actually bisexual if only
every sexual identity crisis could be as
fun as this one
can we just give one more shout out to
the insane
freddie mercury impression in that song
if i didn't know better i would have
sworn it with him
so how did we do what other songs do you
think
are catchy also a great parody but also
have a great message
be sure to let us know in the comments
or come tell me on twitter or instagram
rebecca brayton or on my youtube channel
see
boy ya used to be i'm here i'm queer get
used to me
i'm gay
