00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for those fictional tracks that
00:10were so catchy, emotional, or just plain awesome that we would totally believe they actually
00:15existed in the real world charts.
00:21Number 30, Ultraviolet, Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging.
00:26If you've ever found yourself humming along to Ultraviolet, you're not alone.
00:30She's a wave and she's breaking, she's a problem to solve.
00:39The stiff Dylans make the most of their big moment, bringing infectious pop rock energy
00:43to one of the film's most memorable scenes.
00:45With its punchy guitar riffs and irresistibly catchy chorus, the song captures the excitement
00:50and emotion of being young without feeling overly polished.
00:53It's the kind of track that sticks in your head long after you first hear it.
01:06Part of its appeal is how easily it works beyond the movie itself, standing on its own
01:11as a genuinely fun listen.
01:13Ultraviolet helped turn the stiff Dylans from a fictional band into a fan-favorite part of
01:18the soundtrack.
01:30Number 29, Through the Trees, Jennifer's Body.
01:33Before Jennifer's world turns upside down, Low Shoulder delivers a performance that's peak
01:382000's alt-rock.
01:50It's a pitch-perfect blend of moody guitar riffs and haunting vocals that capture the film's
01:55unique cocktail of horror and high school drama.
01:57There's a deliciously cynical edge to the lyrics, making it feel like a real artifact from
02:02an era when every burnt CD had at least one track that sounded like this.
02:14It's the kind of song you'd blast in your bedroom convinced it understood your soul.
02:19Through the Trees doesn't just set the tone for the movie, it is the anthem for every teen
02:23who ever felt a little bit haunted.
02:25I'm still here with you now, until I set free, go quiet through the tree.
02:34Number 28, Peaches, the Super Mario Brothers movie.
02:38Bowser at the piano, pouring his heart out, is the kind of visual that instantly cements
02:42itself in pop culture memory.
02:44Peach, you're so cool, and with my star, we're gonna rule.
02:53Peaches is equal parts power ballad and comedic gold, with Jack Black channeling every ounce
02:58of his rock god charisma into a love song that's as catchy as it is ridiculous.
03:02Peach, understand, I'm gonna love you till the very end.
03:11The lyrics are over the top, but the delivery is so sincere that you can't help but root
03:16for the big guy.
03:17It's a loving send-up of 80s arena rock, complete with soaring vocals and dramatic flair, but it
03:22never loses its sense of fun.
03:24The fact that this song went viral and became a global earworm says it all.
03:29I'm loyal, oh, bitches, bitches.
03:37Number 27, Cheetah Sisters, the Cheetah Girls.
03:40If you were a Disney Channel kid in the early 2000s, Cheetah Sisters was more than just
03:45a song.
03:45It was a friendship anthem you belted out with your besties at every sleepover.
03:58This track is the heartbeat of the Cheetah Girls, capturing the magic of sisterhood and
04:02the thrill of chasing your dreams together.
04:04The harmonies are infectious, the beat is pure pop perfection, and the message of sticking
04:08together through thick and thin still hits home.
04:18It has a real sense of joy and unity that makes it feel timeless.
04:22The song basically became a rite of passage for a generation that grew up believing in
04:27girl power.
04:28Maybe child is stronger than he ever gonna change.
04:32Believe and listen.
04:35Cheetah Girls, Cheetah Sisters.
04:38Number 26, On the Dark Side, Eddie and the Cruisers.
04:42This song is the band's mysterious, iconic masterpiece that allegedly vanished along with their lead
04:47singer, Eddie Wilson.
04:56It serves as the sonic anchor for the movie's tone, providing a driving beat and bluesy guitar
05:02work that feels deeply rooted in real rock history.
05:05The movie treats this track like a holy grail, and it's easy to see why.
05:15Each note captures the electric energy of a band on the verge of greatness, resulting in a
05:20song worthy of any rock legend's discography.
05:22It's a perfect example of how a fictional song can become a real-life obsession for fans,
05:27blurring the line between movie magic and rock mythology.
05:38Number 25, Big Bottom.
05:40This is Spinal Tap.
05:41This is the group at their most gloriously over-the-top.
05:50When the band swaps instruments and unleashes a wall of bass, it's both a loving send-up and
05:56a spot-on parody of hard rock's most self-indulgent moments.
05:59The lyrics are hilariously ridiculous, but the groove is so tight, you almost forget you're
06:04supposed to be laughing.
06:11That's the genius of Spinal Tap.
06:13They make a song that's intentionally bad sound like something you'd actually want to
06:17blast at full volume.
06:18It's a tongue-in-cheek tribute to rock excess, and it's impossible not to bang your head along
06:22with the joke.
06:23That's not to say it's not an absolute jam, because it totally is.
06:29Out of my mind, how could I leave this behind?
06:38Number 24, Determinate, Lemonade Mouth.
06:41Used during a high-stakes moment when the band finally finds their voice, Determinate features
06:46a driving beat and a rap breakdown that elevates it above typical teen movie soundtrack filler.
07:03The energy is infectious, blending pop sensibilities with an aggressive, punchy sound that feels
07:08like it belongs on a radio playlist rather than just a DVD menu.
07:12What helps it hold its own is the real, unfiltered enthusiasm of a band with something to prove,
07:17and you can feel every ounce of that hunger in the performance.
07:29Determinate is proof that even Disney-fied teen movie musicals can deliver songs that stick
07:34with you long after the credits roll.
07:44Number 23, We All Die Young, Rockstar.
07:48If you've ever dreamed of stepping onto a stage and unleashing your inner rock star,
07:52We All Die Young is your anthem.
08:02When Chris Izzy Cole finally gets his shot, he doesn't waste his shot, channeling every
08:08ounce of 80s arena rock bravado. The song nails that larger-than-life sound, complete with soaring
08:13vocals and epic guitar solos, but it's also slyly self-aware, winking at the melodrama even
08:19as it embraces it.
08:28It's both a loving tribute and a tongue-in-cheek parody, capturing the fantasy of rock stardom
08:33in one unforgettable performance. It may just make you want to grab a hairbrush and sing
08:37along at the top of your lungs.
08:38And we all die young.
08:49Number 22, A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow, A Mighty Wind.
08:53There's something quietly magical about A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow.
09:08When Mitch and Mickey take the stage, you can feel the weight of their shared history in every note.
09:13The harmonies are fragile and haunting, cutting through the film's comedy to reveal a core of
09:18real aching emotion.
09:20There's a kiss at the end of the rainbow.
09:26More touches than a pot of gold.
09:31This song doesn't need bells and whistles. Its power comes from its simplicity and the raw honesty
09:36of the performance. It's the kind of folk ballad that feels like it's always existed, timeless and true.
09:41Even though it's a fictional creation, it could easily stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the greatest love songs ever written.
09:47More precious than a pot of gold.
09:58Number 21, Ultimate, Freaky Friday.
10:01Ultimate is the kind of finale song that makes you want to jump on stage and live out your pop
10:05-punk dreams.
10:17As Anna and her mom finally see eye-to-eye, the music explodes with attitude and energy,
10:22channeling the spirit of every early 2000s garage band that ever dreamed of making it big.
10:37The song is packed with sass, utilizing a classic pop-punk formula.
10:42Crunch guitars, rebellious edge, and everything else that made artists like Avril Lavigne so popular during that era.
10:48Thanks to its perfect mix of teen angst and emotional release,
10:51it has become a staple of early 2000s film soundtracks.
10:54And it is the ultimate dose of nostalgia.
11:06Number 20, Nobody Like You, Turning Red.
11:16It seems like the pair can do anything,
11:19including writing a catchy song for a fake boy band in a Pixar movie.
11:23I'm never gonna let you cry, oh cry, don't cry.
11:27I'll never not be alright, or die, alright!
11:32One of the major set pieces of Turning Red is a concert for the boy band Four Town.
11:36While the credit for their big hit song, Nobody Like You, goes to them in the movie,
11:40it can be credited to Eilish and O'Connell IRL.
11:43Boy band music, although made specifically to have commercial appeal,
11:46also has a relatively distinct sound.
11:48This song from Four Town has the beat, the lyrics, and the vibe
11:52that could easily pass for something we'd hear on the radio today.
11:56I never met nobody
11:59Like you
12:00Had friends and I've had buddies
12:04It's true
12:04Number 19,
12:06Breathe, Her Smell
12:07Faking punk rock seems like an impossible task,
12:10but the movie Her Smell does a pretty good job of it.
12:22The plot centers on a punk band called Something She,
12:25headed up by lead singer Becky, who is played by Elizabeth Moss.
12:29One of the band's hit tracks is called Breathe,
12:31and it was written by Alicia Boniano,
12:33who co-wrote the movie's music with Keegan DeWitt.
12:35If I don't breathe and I can feel the girl
12:41Take over me, she's the love and I want to sing it
12:46Boniano brings authenticity to the song's vibe,
12:49giving it a healthy dose of pop punk mixed with grunge.
12:52Even outside of the context of her smell,
12:55Breathe is a straight-up banger.
12:57Nothing's forever
12:59This much I know, this much I know
13:06Number 18, Mad About Me,
13:08The Cantina Song,
13:09Star Wars Episode IV, A New Hope.
13:18When you're working with the likes of John Williams,
13:21it's best to remember that the king doesn't miss.
13:24The first Star Wars film is remembered for a lot of things,
13:27not the least of which is its signature Williams score.
13:37The Cantina Song might not be the first melody you think about,
13:41but maybe it should be.
13:42When Luke Skywalker first walks into the alien cantina,
13:45he's greeted by a bar band playing a delightfully jaunty tune.
13:48The music feels old-timey but slightly off-putting.
13:51Alien, even, one might say.
14:01That eccentricity aside,
14:03it's delightful to see these extraterrestrial beings
14:05going ham on instruments like this.
14:08Number 17, Grow Old With You,
14:10The Wedding Singer.
14:12Sometimes you just need a little help from your famous friends.
14:15My high guy is Glenn.
14:16They're on this plane.
14:17No way!
14:19You guys gotta help me.
14:21Right!
14:22Yeah!
14:23Robbie and Julia first meet while separately preparing for their own weddings,
14:27but soon realize that they're with the wrong people.
14:30In the film's final act,
14:31Julia boards a plane to get married,
14:33unaware that Robbie shares her feelings.
14:36Instead of the traditional race-to-the-airport confession,
14:39the wedding singer opts for a more musical display of romance,
14:41with the help of fellow first-class passenger Billy Idol.
14:45I'll get your medicine
14:47When your tummy aches
14:50Build you a fire
14:55Robbie's impromptu song has a down-to-earth charm
14:58that perfectly matches his relationship with Julia,
15:00and even makes the plane's other passengers swoon.
15:03By the time he's finished,
15:05Glenn doesn't have a chance.
15:06I could be the man
15:08who grows old with you
15:13No. 16, Supernova Girl
15:15Xenon, Girl of the 21st Century
15:18Zoom, zoom, zoom
15:19Make my heart go boom, boom, boom
15:27If you started singing along,
15:29then you are definitely a 90s Disney Channel kid.
15:32Xenon, Girl of the 21st Century
15:34is a favorite of the Disney Channel original movie canon,
15:37and features a song that is as catchy as it is fun.
15:40Breathing in, you give me air
15:42I'm living off your soul of glass
15:44Could you be my supernova girl?
15:49In the movie,
15:50Supernova Girl is performed by pop star Protozoa
15:53and his band Microbe.
15:54The song feels appropriately galactic,
15:56but with a pop beat that even humans can get down to.
15:59Zoom, zoom, zoom
16:01Make my heart go boom, boom
16:02My supernova girl
16:05Make my heart go boom, boom
16:06My supernova girl
16:08It was written by Christian Rex,
16:10who also composed music
16:12for the beloved television show, Smart Guy.
16:15Number 15, Husavik
16:16Eurovision Song Contest
16:18The Story of Fire Saga
16:19Even for a movie as silly as this one,
16:22the moment around this song
16:23is surprisingly heartfelt.
16:25We'll be disqualified.
16:27Just sing.
16:35This 2020 film stars Will Ferrell as Lars,
16:38a man who desperately wishes to win
16:40the Eurovision Song Contest.
16:42His love interest Sigrid is played by Rachel McAdams,
16:44and the culminating moment comes at the end
16:47when Lars switches out the song
16:48they were supposed to perform.
16:49Sigrid sings Husavik,
16:51a song she wrote for Lars about their hometown.
16:53Where the mountains sing
16:55Through the screams of seagulls
16:57Where the whales can't live
16:59Cause they're gentle people
17:00In my hometown
17:04There's a lot that happens in this movie,
17:06including an incident with a hamster wheel,
17:08but this moment rings beautifully true emotionally.
17:11More than that,
17:12it sounds like a real Eurovision song.
17:21She's singing in Icelandic.
17:28Number 14.
17:30Pop Goes My Heart
17:31Music and Lyrics
17:39A romantic comedy about two songwriters?
17:41You better hope you have some actually good songs.
17:44Music and Lyrics does that pretty well,
17:46but there's one song that stands above the rest.
17:49There's something in the way you move
17:51I can't deny
17:52Every word from your lips is a lullaby
17:56Pop Goes My Heart is one of the songs
17:58that Hugh Grant's character Alex Fletcher
18:00performed as a pop idol in the 1980s.
18:02And oh boy, does it fit the mold.
18:05Pop Goes My Heart sounds like
18:06the quintessential 80s pop hit.
18:08I said I wasn't gonna lose my head
18:11But then pop goes my heart
18:14Goes my heart
18:16Like the very best parodies,
18:17there's an enormous amount of love
18:19for the genre folded into the joke.
18:21But that only makes it even more enjoyable.
18:24Number 13.
18:25Falling Slowly
18:26Once
18:26When you write a song that sticks with people
18:29the way that Falling Slowly has,
18:30that really counts for something.
18:32I don't know you
18:35But I want you
18:40All the more for them
18:44Once is a 2007 musical indie film
18:47that became a huge hit
18:48and the music plays a large part in that.
18:51Glenn Hansard and Marketa Irglova
18:53star as Guy and Girl
18:54two musicians who meet
18:55and fall in love in Dublin.
18:57Yeah, we're going to London
18:58and no one will ever find us again.
19:01No one?
19:02No one.
19:02We'll have a brilliant band
19:03we'll sell out those places
19:05and it'll be great.
19:06Hansard and Irglova
19:07also helped write the songs for the film
19:08including Falling Slowly.
19:10This beautiful piano ballad
19:12and won an Oscar for Best Original Song
19:14and continues to break hearts today.
19:18Falling slowly
19:20Eyes that know me
19:23And I can't go back
19:28Number 12.
19:30Christmas is all around
19:31Love Actually
19:32When it comes to washed up rock stars
19:34there's not one we love more
19:36than Billy Mac.
19:37Fighting for the Christmas number one.
19:39How's it looking so far?
19:41Very bad indeed.
19:43Blue are outselling me
19:44five to one
19:45but I'm hoping for a late surge.
19:48As played by the incomparable
19:50Bill Nighy
19:50in the 2003 Christmas classic
19:52Love Actually
19:53Billy Mac is one of the best parts
19:55of the film.
19:56In particular
19:56his new festive hit
19:58Christmas is all around
19:59is absolutely perfect.
20:00Christmas is all around me
20:03All around me
20:04And so the feeling grows
20:07The song is a holiday-themed version
20:09of a song by Trogs
20:10called Love is All Around.
20:11No offense to Trogs
20:13but we have to say
20:14we love the Billy Mac version better.
20:16So if you really love Christmas
20:18Love Christmas
20:19Come on
20:20Let it snow
20:21The song is supposed to be
20:23kind of bad on purpose
20:24but honestly
20:25that's what makes it work.
20:27Get that tune to the top of the charts.
20:29Number 11.
20:30School of Rock
20:31School of Rock
20:32Now let's get out there
20:33and melt some faces!
20:35Yeah!
20:36Go get ready.
20:37Richard Linklater
20:38has made some of our favorite movies
20:40over the past few decades
20:41but one of his most entertaining
20:43has got to be School of Rock.
20:45Jack Black absolutely shines
20:46as a wannabe musician
20:47who takes a job as a substitute
20:49and ends up teaching
20:50his classroom of kids
20:51how to jam out.
20:52The best part of the film
20:53comes at the very end
20:54when the class plays the song
20:56School of Rock
20:57at the Battle of the Bands.
21:05The film is filled
21:06with great classic rock tunes
21:08but in all honesty
21:09this track is one of the most fun
21:10in the entire movie.
21:12Black sings it wonderfully
21:13and the kids are all so talented
21:15it's almost tough
21:16to suspend our disbelief.
21:27Number 10.
21:28That Thing You Do
21:29That Thing You Do
21:30When it comes to fictional
21:32one-hit wonders
21:33you can't get much better
21:34than this.
21:44That Thing You Do
21:45is a 1996 movie
21:46directed by and starring
21:48Tom Hanks
21:48and follows the rise and fall
21:50of a pop band
21:51and their biggest song.
21:52The song
21:53which shares a name
21:54with the movie
21:55was written by Adam Schlesinger
21:56the bassist from the band
21:58Fountains of Wayne.
21:59Well I try and try
22:01to forget you girl
22:02but it's just so hard to do
22:05You can really tell
22:06the guy who had a hand
22:07in writing
22:08Stacey's mom was involved
22:09because That Thing You Do
22:10is one of the best
22:11fake movie tunes
22:12of all time.
22:13Seriously
22:13if the wonders ever decide
22:14they want to get back together
22:15we will be first in line
22:17to buy tickets.
22:18Because we
22:20do happy care to see
22:23and we don't need
22:25that we can
22:26Try it down
22:27I'm trying to hear it
22:27Number 9.
22:28Scotty Doesn't Know
22:29Eurotrip
22:30This vulgar hit
22:32from Eurotrip
22:32has the distinction
22:33of being one of the few
22:35fictional songs
22:36to have surpassed
22:36the popularity
22:37of its source.
22:38Scotty doesn't know
22:40that Fiona and me
22:41do it in my van
22:42every Sunday
22:43While the 2004 comedy
22:45struggled to match
22:46its budget
22:46at the box office
22:47Scotty Doesn't Know
22:48earned its band Lustra
22:49a spot on the
22:50Billboard Hot 100.
22:52Eurotrip seemed to
22:53predict the song's
22:54mass appeal IRL
22:55as it's shown to be
22:56popular in the world
22:56of the film as well.
22:58Don't tell Scotty
23:01Scotty Doesn't Know
23:03Hey
23:03The song sounds familiar
23:05In it
23:06the song becomes
23:07a global sensation
23:08even being remixed
23:09and sold as a ringtone.
23:11Naturally
23:12there's one person
23:13who doesn't appreciate
23:14the tune's popularity
23:15and that's
23:16Scotty.
23:17Scotty Doesn't Know
23:18Scotty Doesn't Know
23:19Don't tell Scotty
23:20Scotty Doesn't Know
23:22Number 8.
23:24Stand Out
23:24A Goofy Movie
23:25We can assume
23:26from his popularity
23:27that Powerline
23:28has many hit songs
23:29in the world
23:30of a Goofy Movie.
23:31But this is the one
23:32that Max,
23:33Goofy's son,
23:34chooses to perform
23:35for his school
23:35and we think
23:36he picked right.
23:37Some people
23:38settle for the
23:39typical thing
23:40Living all their lives
23:42waiting in the wind
23:43Stand Out
23:44as its name implies
23:45is about standing out
23:46from the crowd
23:47and making a name
23:48for yourself.
23:49Max definitely
23:50does just that
23:51when he and his friend
23:51PJ hijack their
23:53school's assembly
23:53for an impromptu performance.
23:55If I could make you stop
23:57and take a look
23:57at me
23:58instead of just
23:59walking hard
24:01He even catches
24:02the eye of his crush
24:03Roxanne.
24:04At the end of the movie,
24:06Max and Goofy
24:07get to jam out
24:07to Eye to Eye
24:08on stage
24:09with Powerline himself.
24:10But we'll always
24:11have a soft spot
24:12for this energizing anthem
24:13about making it big.
24:15Just stand out
24:17Wow!
24:18Look at that guy!
24:27Anyone who's ever
24:28been in a band
24:29will tell you
24:29how difficult it is
24:30to make a name
24:31for yourself
24:31especially in high school.
24:34In that respect,
24:35the teens in Sing Street
24:36are living the dream.
24:47In this 80s set film,
24:49the titular band
24:50writes and performs
24:51a number of catchy tunes
24:52inspired by the music
24:53of the era,
24:54slowly rising in popularity.
24:56Our favorite of these songs
24:57is Drive It Like You Stole It,
24:59an empowering rock-pop number
25:00the boys sing
25:01at their school's senior prom.
25:02This is your life
25:03You can't go anywhere
25:07You gotta grab the wheel
25:08and own it
25:09Drive it like you stole it
25:12The song's lyrics
25:13perfectly encapsulate
25:14the protagonist's
25:15character arc
25:16while the performance
25:17allows him and his bandmates
25:18to show off their
25:19renewed self-confidence
25:20in front of their peers.
25:22It's truly a joy to watch.
25:24This is your life
25:25You can't go anywhere
25:28You gotta grab the wheel
25:30and own it
25:31Drive it like you stole it
25:33Number 6
25:34Fever Dog
25:35Almost Famous
25:36We're here because
25:37of the music
25:38We are band-aids
25:39At the end of the day
25:40Almost Famous
25:41is more about
25:42William Miller
25:43and the colorful array
25:44of groupies he meets
25:45than it is about a band.
25:47Nonetheless,
25:48the band at the center
25:49of it all
25:49is an undeniably
25:51important aspect
25:51of the film
25:52and it's equally important
25:54that their songs
25:54are good enough
25:55to warrant
25:56their dedicated fan base.
25:57Fever Dog
26:02Spreading at my back door
26:04I hear you cry
26:08Fever Dog proves
26:09that they have
26:10what it takes
26:10to go toe-to-toe
26:11with other
26:1270s rock musicians.
26:13The song takes
26:14inspiration from
26:15the real rock bands
26:16featured alongside it
26:17on the film's
26:17Grammy Award-winning
26:18soundtrack
26:19and boasts
26:20some shockingly
26:20impressive vocals
26:21from actor
26:22Jason Lee.
26:29Number 5
26:30We are Sex Bob-omb
26:32Scott Pilgrim
26:33vs. The World
26:34We know what
26:35you're thinking
26:35and we agree
26:36Black Sheep is great.
26:45Unfortunately
26:46that show-stopping
26:47The Clash
26:48at Demon Head
26:49performance
26:49is technically
26:50a cover
26:51and honestly
26:52it's about time
26:53Sex Bob-omb
26:53got some appreciation
26:54too.
26:55Although its members
26:56fear their music
26:57sucks
26:57their introductory
26:58song
26:59We Are Sex Bob-omb
27:00proves the opposite.
27:08It's just the right
27:09energy to introduce
27:10the film's
27:10insane ensemble
27:11cast.
27:12They follow it up
27:13with a performance
27:14of Garbage Truck
27:15in the first round
27:16of Battle of the Bands
27:17which is lyrically
27:18abrasive
27:19but a ton of fun.
27:31Both songs
27:32strike the perfect
27:33balance between
27:34Good and Garage Band.
27:35It's just a shame
27:36that Garbage Truck
27:37has to be interrupted
27:38by Ramona's
27:39first evil ex.
27:40Number 4
27:41Equal Rights
27:42Not Gay
27:43Pop Star
27:44Never Stop
27:45Never Stopping
27:45When Macklemore
27:47and Ryan Lewis
27:47released Same Love
27:48it was met
27:49with a mixed response.
27:51While many
27:51applauded the song
27:52for its message
27:53some poked fun
27:54at its cornier lyrics.
27:56Stripping away the beer
27:57underneath it's
27:57all the same love
27:58about time
27:59that we raised up
28:00Sex
28:02The Lonely Islands
28:03mockumentary film
28:04Pop Star
28:05Never Stop
28:06Never Stopping
28:07takes this
28:07a step further.
28:09In it
28:09Connor For Real
28:10sings a song
28:11entitled
28:11Equal Rights
28:12in which he advocates
28:13for gay rights
28:14while continuously
28:15insisting that
28:16he is straight.
28:24He even
28:24randomly shouts out
28:25stereotypical
28:26straight male
28:27interests like
28:27sports,
28:28four-wheel drive
28:29and golf clubs
28:30to hammer home
28:30the point.
28:31It's a hilarious
28:32play on the
28:32overzealous
28:33straight savior
28:34type that has
28:35emerged in
28:35modern pop culture
28:36and with a chorus
28:37sung by Pink
28:38it's an unironic
28:39jam.
28:50When Lizzie
28:51graduated from
28:52junior high
28:53she never expected
28:54to have a run-in
28:55with a pop star
28:55whose former partner
28:56looked exactly like her
28:58and yet that's
28:59exactly what happened.
29:00Throughout her
29:01school-sponsored
29:01trip to Rome
29:02Lizzie secretly
29:03meets with Paolo
29:04who teaches her
29:05how to be a star.
29:15He turns out
29:16to be a lip-syncing
29:16liar
29:17but his former
29:18partner Isabella
29:19arrives at just
29:20the right time
29:20to save the day.
29:22She and Lizzie
29:22sing what dreams
29:23are made of
29:23on an international
29:24stage
29:25impressing Lizzie's
29:26parents and
29:27classmates
29:27and absolutely
29:28blowing our
29:29eight-year-old
29:30selves' minds.
29:38Ironically
29:38as Isabella
29:39Hilary Duff
29:40is actually lip-syncing
29:41the voice of her
29:42sister Haley.
29:43The different voice
29:44gives credence
29:45to the idea
29:45that these are
29:46two separate people
29:47not just
29:48a brunette Lizzie.
29:55Number 2
29:56Pretend to be nice
29:57Josie and the Pussycats
29:59Josie and the Pussycats
30:00is the best
30:01fake band ever
30:02and we promise
30:03we weren't
30:04brainwashed
30:05into saying that.
30:10While their
30:10meteoric rise to fame
30:12could be
30:12attributed to
30:13their shady
30:14record label
30:14we'd like to think
30:15that pretend to be nice
30:16would have risen
30:17through the pop charts
30:17regardless of any
30:18outside intervention.
30:19The tune is
30:20super fun
30:21and a total
30:22earworm
30:22with lyrics
30:23relatable to
30:24anyone who's
30:25ever had a
30:25careless
30:26inattentive partner.
30:39in addition to this
30:41chart topper
30:42Josie and the Pussycats
30:43also perform
30:44the equally
30:44enjoyable spin
30:45around at a
30:46global concert
30:47that acts as
30:47the film's finale
30:48but not before
30:50getting some
30:50much needed
30:51assistance from
30:52their predecessor
30:52DuJour
30:53whose song
30:54Backdoor Lover
30:54was all the rage
30:56before their
30:56mysterious plane crash.
30:58Hiding on your bed
30:59staring up at the moon
31:02You got me crazy
31:04gotta love you soon
31:06I'm your best
31:08Number 1
31:09Shallow
31:10A Star Is Born
31:11Shallow may be
31:13a fake song
31:14but there's no
31:15denying Lady Gaga's
31:16very real talent.
31:22A Star Is Born
31:28is the fourth remake
31:29of a 1937 film
31:30of the same name
31:31but more than
31:32sets itself apart
31:33with its moving
31:33performances
31:34and modern take
31:35on the music industry.
31:36On an in-world episode
31:37of Saturday Night Live
31:38Gaga's character
31:40Ali performs
31:40the catchy
31:41Why Did You Do That?
31:50It's not bad
31:51but it's a far cry
31:52from Ali's authentic self
31:53which is best showcased
31:55in her performance
31:56of Shallow
31:56with Jack.
31:57The song
31:58is a powerful reflection
31:59on the dangers
32:00of stardom
32:01just as relevant
32:02to our real world
32:03as it is the fictional
32:04world of Ali and Jack.
32:13What in-universe song
32:15do you think
32:15could stand on its own
32:16if its respective movie
32:17didn't exist?
32:18Let us know
32:18in the comments.
32:21We'll be talking in the next noite um
32:22because we can all
