I tend to put Eyes on the Prize II higher solely because of the dedication to a dramatic sad gay flashback. Seriously, Joey has like 25 seconds to change and get up on the catwalk just so Curt can be sad for 3 seconds.
sanityisrelative yeah you can see him practically run off stage at 5:00, i wonder if he needed time to run up stairs and grab his Owen jacket because he could just zip it up over the casino staff costume, right?
@@therealbanditking2852 I've always imagined him half-running, shedding the vest and handing it to a random person, and shrugging on the jacket as he runs up stairs to get to the platform.
I think we can all agree that all the songs are amazing but in my opinion Torture Tango is number one. Just... everything, from the emotions I get because I know the context to the layers toward the end.
Watching this after watching Black Friday just made me realise that innocent and confused Curt has amazing chemistry with evil chaotic Joey and oh my god wow
I don’t know if you think this to, but; Whenever I hear “Prisoner of the Past” I always think of Black Widow. Aka Natasha Edit: Thank you for the Heart and likes!
Alice Aloi I agree completely. I’ve always thought eyes on the prize I would sound better in a significantly lower key, which is why I don’t like it as much. I still love it though.
My top 3 would have been: 3:"Coldest Goodbye" (inc Joey's reprise) 2:"Prisoner of my past" 1:"Torture tango" I love all the songs so i cant rlly rank them, i just know the most lyrics to these XD
i was really drunk at my schoolies and i learned my lesson of not showing my friends my starkid obsession & absolutely BLASTED one more shot in phillip island and they were a whole new level of confused. i definitely should have played not so bad, 18 year old boys would lap that shit up
My favorite song is the reprise Owen sings during the climax. It's so fucking emotional and I just love everything about that scene. But, it's not really considered a song, so that's why The Coldest Goodbye might be my favorite song, just because it's pretty close to what Owen sang in that scene.
i just realized joey leaves halfway thru keep your eyes on the prize II so he can get on the catwalk and change into owen within like 30 seconds i love a good quick change
this is my third comment but there is something special about joey’s toe pointy finger pointy leg flicky thing because i CONSTANTLY find myself doing it and now im here at 2am well knowing i have uni at 8am tomorrow (t o d a y) and welling up with tears because it’s so great
I love Spy again and We love the Prince! I feel like they're always forgotten/not enough credit given. Awesome list and video! and HELL YEAH, be proud of those transitions!
i didn't get what you meant by lyrical blue balls but then you cut off the goodbyes and then I screamed and I've never been so hurt in my ENTIRE life how dare you do this to me I am crying this is unfair and should be illegal it's probably illegal w h y my heart has been ripped out and skinned to pieces and been through a stampede worse than mufasa's i-
Ok my top three, I’m weird this is ur official warning 3- the coldest goodbye 2- we love the prince 1- somebody’s gotta do it yeah I’m so sorry I hate me too
Oh gosh, I never ever noticed Curt's head movements during the best part (1,2,3,4 part harmony) of One More Shot, I was too focused on Tatiana. That's hilarious!
Was legit so upset that you didn't have One Step Ahead higher and then you started listing some bangers of songs and I was like - can't even be mad, these are some perfect songs
So basically MK’s character(forgive me for forgetting her name) is Natasha Romanoff. Like, she radiates serious Black Widow energy, they have similar backstories, and are coincidentally both redheads.
Why does everyone hate Curt's beard? I think it's hot. Then again the fashion standards were different in the 60's edit: just wanna say I'm a lesbian and I think that it looks nice probably because my dad had the same beard but reddish-brown
Just discovered this video 3 years later and it inspired me to think about my own ranking: 1 Torture Tango (always and forever, it is simply perfect) 2 One Step Ahead ("this is what you made me do! This is it, we're done, we're through!" + including the Coldest Goodbye Reprise by Joey!) 3 Spies Are Forever (iconic title number) 4 Somebody's Gotta Do It (Again: love the Tango, Sergio's character plus the ICONIC Walker-Richter duett combo we know and love from MAMD) 5 Doing This (this whole scene is the best parody of stupid Bond-movie clichés, it makes you cringe and laugh so much at the same time) 6 The Coldest Goodbye (the simple instrumentation and MK's voice make for such a haunting song) 7 Not So Bad (the worst catchy song ever, plus I love the harmonies on "But sir, now it's in your hands: the nazis have a second chance") 8 One More Shot (hyping us all up for the finale) 9 Prisoner Of My Past (kinda like Coldest Goodbye, the haunting piano+MK combo is amazing) 10 Spy Again (the lyrics and the different emotions that Curt goes through are so well written) 11 & 12 Eyes On The Prize I & II (Both versions are great though the "oooh" part where Owen appears is heartbreaking) 13 Pay Attention (the lyrics are just once again perfect for the song) 14 Spy Dance (what a bop to get us all on our feet and end the show with good vibes) 15 Spy Again (Reprise) (Curt's little emotional speech at the end and what the piano plays during it are so great together) 16 We Love The Prince (The chorus is really fun but somehow that song has never clicked with me like the others) 17 Not So Bad (Reprise) (still a good song, but cannot compete with the full lenght version) 18 Barb's Lament (I cannpt help but compare this to Mrs. Mega's little lament at the end of Doing This which I like much more) Hmm, maybe I'm a little biase because "We Love The Prince" is the only song that I haven't completely translated yet for my German version of the show that I started to write last year. It's so hard to translate!
Ok but like how did Owen live? I thought they rigged the building to explode so like shouldn't Owen be a million tiny pieces? I never understood that and it's been bothering me for a while.
I guess he must’ve gotten out just in time, because Curt ran out straight away and the coldest goodbye only takes about 1 minute, and the timer was set for three minutes. Maybe he got out?
@@bellac6311 I guess that makes sense, but right before he fell there was that rumbling noise where everyone stumbled and that's when Curt was like "oops I set it to 3 minutes not 4" and Owen was like "oh Curt you're going to be the death of me" and fell. I thought the rumbling and stumbling was the bomb about to go off and even if there was still a minute left on the bomb the coldest goodbye was a minute long, and Owen was still lying there bleeding for the whole song
Owen explains that if he and Curt relock the safety barriers then they can limit the blast then most likely proceeds to do so while Curt sets the timer on the bomb so that's probably how he survived. The wizard theory's great though
Honestly my top three would’ve been 1: Not So Bad 2: Torture Tango 3: Somebody’s Gotta Do It Before you get mad, sure Not So Bad is about how Nazi’s aren’t bad but it’s a good song and honestly a bop.
Okay I know it's a sad scene and all but Owen just lying on the ground next to the banana peel is a mood and a half
I tend to put Eyes on the Prize II higher solely because of the dedication to a dramatic sad gay flashback.
Seriously, Joey has like 25 seconds to change and get up on the catwalk just so Curt can be sad for 3 seconds.
sanityisrelative yeah you can see him practically run off stage at 5:00,

also, notice that joe has to hold up the bass harmony on his own after joey runs off to quick change into owen
Happy to see the prince song this high, but putting "Spies Are Forever/The Coldest Goodbye" so low on the list is a war crime
Agreed
OH HIIIII
Well it technically takes place during the Cold War so...
Real! That’s gotta be top 3 for me
i will always laugh at “nazis are not so bad” because it’s sung by a _soft jewish boy_ like brosenthal what are u doing
This is a great list but I think the fact that coldest goodbye and prisoner of my past are so low is mk erasure and that’s hurts my soul
Agreed, especially Prisoner of my Past because UGh that song wrecks me.
YES. Prisoner of My Past does not get enough love!
The coldest goodbye deserves better
I think we can all agree that all the songs are amazing but in my opinion Torture Tango is number one. Just... everything, from the emotions I get because I know the context to the layers toward the end.
Torture Tango is my second favorite my first favorite is one step ahead!
3 weeks later and my option has changed...
All of the songs are number 1
It’s tied first place with One Step Ahead for me
am I the only one who really loves somebodies gotta do it? Like its up there with tortre tango for me...
For me torture tango is tied for first place with not so bad. Sure it’s about how the Nazi’s aren’t bad but, cmon it’s honestly a bop.
Watching this after watching Black Friday just made me realise that innocent and confused Curt has amazing chemistry with evil chaotic Joey and oh my god wow
YES!!
I saw a picture of howard and wiley in black friday and the caption was "what kind of fucking curtwen AU is this" and I think that's very accurate
@@caspertheunfriendlyghostI wrote a reincarnation AU where Wilbur and Howard are Curt and Owen and it’s probably my favourite thing I’ve written
@@paigestubbs9718 i am begging you to drop the link
@@paigestubbs9718 Oh my god I think I read that! Was it the one with Emma as Tatiana?
I cant even explain my level of confusion on how low ranked Coldest Goodbyes and Prisoner of My Past is
I don’t know if you think this to, but; Whenever I hear “Prisoner of the Past” I always think of Black Widow. Aka Natasha
Edit: Thank you for the Heart and likes!
This.
Is.
Probably because the characters are based off the same thing.
*animatic animatic animatic animatic-*
I’ve been thinking the same thing!
Prisoner of the Past is literally the most bone chilling, gut curtling song I’ve ever listened to..
Her voice is so amazing..
Brosenthal is such a daddy @ 'we love the prince!' I can't
Natalia Arlovoskaya “brosenthal is such a daddy” is gonna be written on my tombstone
I don’t know why but Sergio is my favorite character in the musical.
Unpopular opinion:Eyes on the price II is way better than Eyes on the price I
Alice Aloi I agree completely. I’ve always thought eyes on the prize I would sound better in a significantly lower key, which is why I don’t like it as much. I still love it though.
Agreed
Absolutely 100% agreed
I'm pretty sure that's a popular opinion
@@Liliocelote It looks like it is
I just noticed that the prince was only wearing one shoe
He wanted to see if it bounced real good
My top 3 would have been:
3:"Coldest Goodbye" (inc Joey's reprise)
2:"Prisoner of my past"
1:"Torture tango"
I love all the songs so i cant rlly rank them, i just know the most lyrics to these XD
i was really drunk at my schoolies and i learned my lesson of not showing my friends my starkid obsession & absolutely BLASTED one more shot in phillip island and they were a whole new level of confused. i definitely should have played not so bad, 18 year old boys would lap that shit up
the scariest part of not so bad is how convincing brosenthal plays a nazi
Haha!!
My favorite song is the reprise Owen sings during the climax. It's so fucking emotional and I just love everything about that scene. But, it's not really considered a song, so that's why The Coldest Goodbye might be my favorite song, just because it's pretty close to what Owen sang in that scene.
This video reminded me how fully in love with Curt Mega I am
i just realized joey leaves halfway thru keep your eyes on the prize II so he can get on the catwalk and change into owen within like 30 seconds
i love a good quick change
i like to think that during ‘the coldest goodbye’ joey rolls off to side stage
You know what I realized in the middle of this that Owen as DMA was going to kill Curt and I just....um what the...What?????
Caz zer I knowwww. Listening to torture tango makes me so sad when I remember that Owen is the DMA in it
the marvelous passive-aggressiveness of “we love the prince!” is always looked over :( im so glad it’s so high on your list!!
Love to see we love the prince so high up!!
I'm glad someone appreciates We Love The Prince, haha
Yes! Finally a list where "We love the Prince!" is high and gets the respect it deserves!
this is my third comment but there is something special about joey’s toe pointy finger pointy leg flicky thing because i CONSTANTLY find myself doing it and now im here at 2am well knowing i have uni at 8am tomorrow (t o d a y) and welling up with tears because it’s so great
honestly I got defensive over almost all of these. just goes to show how AMAZING this show is. I love them all sooo much
My favourites include:
Torture Tango
Coldest Goodbye
One Step Agead
Spies Are Forever
One More Shot
YASSSSSSSS SPY AGAIIIN. I thought nobody else liked it!
joe walker’s singing is so GLORIOUS when he’s singing in his proper register, oh my god
That free dental comment though
I feel like this is the most basic ass opinion but spies are forever is my favourite it is just SO iconic and singlehandedly makes me gay
All of my moods are Joe Walkers different roles in this musical. I’m proud.
I love Spy again and We love the Prince! I feel like they're always forgotten/not enough credit given. Awesome list and video! and HELL YEAH, be proud of those transitions!
“youre cool with me?”
“till the end” i love them so much
i didn't get what you meant by lyrical blue balls but then you cut off the goodbyes and then I screamed and I've never been so hurt in my ENTIRE life how dare you do this to me I am crying this is unfair and should be illegal it's probably illegal w h y my heart has been ripped out and skinned to pieces and been through a stampede worse than mufasa's i-
I didn’t always agree with your choices but the commentary killed me lol
Did anyone else notice during the whole musical Al is wearing the brown (rocket) shoes?
Does anyone feel like nazis are not so bad(what if I left it there??????) And achmends song sound a little similar
quite a few people think that. i am one of those people.
Yeah, I put them both in the category of "minor villain kickline songs"
Maya Holland someone called it the “sinister kicks” song and I am in love with that so......
@@Prinxiety That actually has a really nice ring to it
Oh no I meant to put sinister kickline!
Bless you for including the entire prisoner of my past
Party tip: Play a drinking game. Every 30th time they say spy in this show, take a shot. Everyone at the party will be dead by act two
I love the transition between Torture Tango and We love the prince, so clean and on point
15:44 when people say they don’t like tin can bro’s or starkid
How dare. Mama Mega deserves top spot.
I would love to see a ranking video of every single character in spies are forever cause there's just so many 😂 And they're all amazing
HELL YEAH! somebody else who loves spy again! 100% the best song in my opinion
my top 3 match yours in that exact order! amazing
THANK YOU WE LOVE THE PRINCE IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED
YES finally someone gives We Love The Prince the ranking it deserves. That song is gold.
Ok my top three, I’m weird this is ur official warning
3- the coldest goodbye
2- we love the prince
1- somebody’s gotta do it
yeah I’m so sorry I hate me too
wow imagine having such a valid opinion
im sorry but "to honor" is an amazing piece of artwork and should be considered a songs, ranked 1, ofc
Oh gosh, I never ever noticed Curt's head movements during the best part (1,2,3,4 part harmony) of One More Shot, I was too focused on Tatiana. That's hilarious!
"you have to think about the implications" gets TGWDLM flashbacks
I got an ad at the end of Barb's lament, and the timing was *almost* perfect
Thw whiplash from spy dance to owen lying on the ground fucking dying. Bro.
It's so hard to rank these songs cause they all have such quality ✨ 👌
Why are the Eyes on the Prizes always so low on these lists? They're huge bops!
The scientist girl low key reminds me of a grownup illegally blonde
Was legit so upset that you didn't have One Step Ahead higher and then you started listing some bangers of songs and I was like - can't even be mad, these are some perfect songs
Oh my god someone else thought of Damian in Prisoner of my past, I love that lil’ shit
Somebody’s gotta do it is like. My fav. Don’t let anyone hurt Sergio ❤️
sorry but 'somebodys gotta do it' is the best song. other than that, I agree with the list
So basically MK’s character(forgive me for forgetting her name) is Natasha Romanoff. Like, she radiates serious Black Widow energy, they have similar backstories, and are coincidentally both redheads.
18:49 i just realized the prince is missing a shoe
Joe Walker as a villain and especially in Torture Tango because it's really good makes me infinitely times gayer
Why does everyone hate Curt's beard? I think it's hot. Then again the fashion standards were different in the 60's
edit: just wanna say I'm a lesbian and I think that it looks nice probably because my dad had the same beard but reddish-brown
To me it's just so obviously fake that it's weird to look at lol
I think it’s kind of a metaphor honestly lol
"I think it's hot"
"My dad had the same beard"
Eeh...
brosenthal could get it in any costume
Just discovered this video 3 years later and it inspired me to think about my own ranking:
1 Torture Tango (always and forever, it is simply perfect)
2 One Step Ahead ("this is what you made me do! This is it, we're done, we're through!" + including the Coldest Goodbye Reprise by Joey!)
3 Spies Are Forever (iconic title number)
4 Somebody's Gotta Do It (Again: love the Tango, Sergio's character plus the ICONIC Walker-Richter duett combo we know and love from MAMD)
5 Doing This (this whole scene is the best parody of stupid Bond-movie clichés, it makes you cringe and laugh so much at the same time)
6 The Coldest Goodbye (the simple instrumentation and MK's voice make for such a haunting song)
7 Not So Bad (the worst catchy song ever, plus I love the harmonies on "But sir, now it's in your hands: the nazis have a second chance")
8 One More Shot (hyping us all up for the finale)
9 Prisoner Of My Past (kinda like Coldest Goodbye, the haunting piano+MK combo is amazing)
10 Spy Again (the lyrics and the different emotions that Curt goes through are so well written)
11 & 12 Eyes On The Prize I & II (Both versions are great though the "oooh" part where Owen appears is heartbreaking)
13 Pay Attention (the lyrics are just once again perfect for the song)
14 Spy Dance (what a bop to get us all on our feet and end the show with good vibes)
15 Spy Again (Reprise) (Curt's little emotional speech at the end and what the piano plays during it are so great together)
16 We Love The Prince (The chorus is really fun but somehow that song has never clicked with me like the others)
17 Not So Bad (Reprise) (still a good song, but cannot compete with the full lenght version)
18 Barb's Lament (I cannpt help but compare this to Mrs. Mega's little lament at the end of Doing This which I like much more)
Hmm, maybe I'm a little biase because "We Love The Prince" is the only song that I haven't completely translated yet for my German version of the show that I started to write last year. It's so hard to translate!
I may be weird but my top 3 are...
1. We Love The Prince!
2. Not So Bad
3. Torture Tango
I know...I’m weird but, I gave you a warning.
I don’t think I’ve ever not seen Torture Tango below spot 3 before
I really love somebody’s gotta do it
I just need to accept that Doing This is my favorite song in the entire show and be done with it.
we love the prince appreciation!!
The Coldest Goodbye us better than Spies Are Forever, change my mind
*is
Omg Damien Wayne! You’re totally(awesome) right!
This is the correct ranking of Spy Again. Such a good song it deserves so much love
Nobody:
No one:
Not a single soul:
You: *i c o n i c*
Ok but like how did Owen live? I thought they rigged the building to explode so like shouldn't Owen be a million tiny pieces? I never understood that and it's been bothering me for a while.

@@nataliedraper926 Yeah, didng think of that. Ummm, i think then the only rational explanation is that Owen is a wizard
@@bellac6311 Of course! Why didn't I think of that? That's the only logical explanation 😂
Owen explains that if he and Curt relock the safety barriers then they can limit the blast then most likely proceeds to do so while Curt sets the timer on the bomb so that's probably how he survived. The wizard theory's great though
One step ahead is my personal favourite but all the songs are so good that I can’t disagree with this ranking
I personally really like coldest goodbye, to the point where it's in my top 3. (with Love the prince, and either Doing this or Torture tango.
I SAW THE LITTLE 'Waka waka' AT THE END OF NOT SO BAD AND SNORTED SO HARD MY HOT CHOCOLATE CAME OUT MY NOSE
Honestly my top three would’ve been
1: Not So Bad
2: Torture Tango
3: Somebody’s Gotta Do It
Before you get mad, sure Not So Bad is about how Nazi’s aren’t bad but it’s a good song and honestly a bop.
16:39 the noise he makes 😂
I never noticed 10:24 so thank you for pointing that out lol
I’ve just realized that Tessa is probably wear just a bald cap under that hat in Somebody’s gotta do it and that’s why she looks so weird lol
The Coldest Goodbye is my absolute favorite. Only beaten by Owen's reprise of it...
Somebody's gotta do it is criminally low
omg i really get the damian wayne reference!!!!
I stan “We love the Prince” at number 2 its finally getting recognition i want it to
"The gay is back"
Aka my friends whenever I enter a room.
Spy Again is such a good song, its number two on my list, but I just gotta put One Step ahead as number one-
I LIKE SUPERHEROES TOO!!!!!!! I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE THOUGHT OF DAMIAN AT THAT PART!!!!!!
TBH, I can see why you put Not So Bad high on the list. Because any song that makes the audience sing along a terrible song deserves recognition
i love that spy again is first ohmygod it got the rep it deserves 🥺
13:24
Sword fighting my ex in a Denny’s parking lot
8:42 quality editing

YES Spy again and we love the prince are the absolute best and theyre too often overlooked
