The 11 Best Songs From The “Mean Girls” Musical Soundtrack

Recently, I've been obsessing over the "Mean Girls" musical soundtrack. If you having haven't had a listen, please go do it now! The musical has some of the most amazing songs that includes some of the iconic catchphrases from the original "Mean Girls" Movie. At the 2018 Tony's "Mean Girls" was nominated for twelve tony's so it is definitely worth a listen. Anyways, this is my opinion on a ranking of the best songs, and I'm stand behind my remarks.

1. “Where Do You Belong?”

So, so, so, so, good! This song guides the cafeteria scene in which Cady (Erika Henningsen) is introduced to all of the different cliques at North Shore High. Damian (Grey Henson) leads the song and he is absolutely phenomenal. Watch the cast perform this live at the Tony's.

2. “Revenge Party”

Another amazing song! It follows the point in the movie when Janis (Barrett Wilbert Weed) and Cady scheme on how to get revenge on Regina (Taylor Louderman) after she stole Aaron (Kyle Selig) from Cady. Note: it's such a good bop to dance to.

3. “Meet The Plastics"

The queen plastics are introduced here, and the feeling and emotional symphony that is Regina George will have you quaking. Also, Karen (Kate Rockwell) and Gretchen (Ashley Park) have such cute solos, I thrive.

4. “I’d Rather Be Me"

This song is so underrated and is a classic feminist bop! It has such an amazing beat that it could honestly become a radio hit. This song is set after Regina unleashes the contents of the burn book to the whole school, and the girls are called to an assembly in the gym. Watch Janis smash it at the "Tonight Show's" performance.

5. “Stupid With Love”

I love how this song showcases Cady's life in Kenya versus her current situation. It's not only humorous but also relatable to all teens. It takes place when Cady meets Aaron for the first time and falls deeply in love. Additionally, in this song Cady showcases some of the awkward moments we all have when talking to our crushes.

6. “It Roars”

This song is our introduction to Cady and reveals a little more information about her character than we're given in the original movie. It's a powerful song that has some extremely relatable lyrics and will have you crying and laughing.

7. “Apex Predator”

When Cady tells Janis that she thinks Regina isn't that bad, this is Janis' response. Regina seems like a goddess, but she is extremely vicious. Its such a bop and Janis' voice is so effortlessly cool. Watch the cast's "Today Show" performance.

8. “What’s Wrong With Me?”

Gretchen Weiners' solo is everything you could ever want and more. Unlike the movie, Gretchen's character and her insecurities are deeply revealed in this song. It details Gretchen's doubts about her friendships with the manipulative Regina. Gretchen seems to always need approval from Regina and this song disclosures some of the problems with that.

9. “Stop”

media.giphy.com

This is one of the best advice type of songs I've ever heard. It brings "Mean Girls" up to the modernity of 2018 relationships, and it showcases more of Damian and Cady's relationship that we don't necessarily see in the movie.

10. “Sexy”

media.giphy.com

Karen's solo is almost as amazing as Gretchen's! I love how the score of the song is in alignment with Karen's stupidity, if that makes sense. But more of Karen's personality is revealed here along with some comedic flares that we also don't see in the movie. This song takes place right before the iconic Halloween party scene.

11. “Do This Thing”

media.giphy.com

The song takes place at the mathletes competition. Its so fun and so cute, and I love the personal realization Cady has during this song.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
