A definitive ranking of the 25 best Bob's Burgers songs

25. "Oil Spill" (Episode: "Food Truckin'")

Tori Amos-analog Tabitha Johansson sings a song called "Oil Spill" about her vagina. As Gene says, "It's not subtle."

(A note: The ranking only includes songs that the characters themselves actually sing.)

24. "Buckle It Up" (Episode: "My Fuzzy Valentine")

"Buckle it up/Buckle it up/Buckle it up or you'll die!" Simple, sure. It doesn't rhyme, but you have to admit it's effective.

23. "Gravy Boat" (Episode: "Turkey in a Can")

Sweet, but less catchy and undeniably less memorable than another Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving song.

22. "Sex Sex Sex Sex Sex" (Episode: "Nude Beach")

Out of all of corrupt health inspector Tommy Jaronda's terrible songs, this is the one with the best title. He and Jimmy Pesto are a perfect fit.

21. "The Diarrhea Song" (Episode: "Tinarannosaurus Wrecks")

"Running down the gutter/With a piece of bread and butter..." It's the least appetizing Bob's Burgers song to get stuck in your head.

20. "The Bleaken Song (Reprise)" (Episode: "The Bleakening (2)")

Protect us, Lord Santa! In the epic and especially creepy two-part Christmas special, the Burger kids sing a hauntingly harmonious warning for the Bleaken, an evil creature that steals kids' presents. —Morgan Sanguedolce

19. "This Wedding Is My Warzone" (Episode: "Something Old, Something New, Something Bob Caters for You")

Bob's marriage-themed ode to his cooking process is delightful, especially when he gets up in the falsetto, but it's less iconic than several of the show's other classics.

18. "The Harry Truman Song" (Episode: "Mother Daughter Laser Razor")

"Here goes the hair/There goes the hair/Where is Harry Truman/He's dead in the ground/He's dead in the ground/He's dead, dead, dead, dead, dead."

What wonderful nonsense. Has there ever been a better example of who Linda Belcher is?

17. "Happy Crappy Place" (Episode: "Late Afternoon in the Garden of Bob and Louise")

I'm always a fan of when the show pulls out some counterpoint (i.e., he sings/she sings), and this is a good, classic example of merging the A and B plots, although weaker than, say, another entry on this list, "This Is Working."

16. (TIE) "Coal Mine"/"I Wanna Hear Your Secrets" (Episode: "Boyz 4 Now")

Our first two Boyz 4 Now songs are tied for 16, although only "Secrets" includes the lyric, "You just went to the bathroom/Number one or number two?"

15. "The Fart Song" (Episode: "The Frond Files")

Infantile, sure, and a bit one-note, but how can you beat the lyric, "Open up your butt cheeks/This is how our butts speak."

14. "Girls Being Girls" (Episode: "The Kids Run the Restaurant")

Have a mere three words ever been catchier? I'm telling you, Girl No. 3 was a star.

13. "Derek Dematopolis" (Episode: "Purple Rain-Union")

Megan Mullally is a VIP of Bob's Burgers and only she makes me want to sing along to lyrics as filthy as "Make my yogurt Greek."

12. "I Love U So Much (It's Scary)" (Episode: "The Hauntening")

A contender with 30 Rock's "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" for "Best Halloween-themed song from a comedy show universe."

11. "I Want Some Burgers and Fries" (Episode: "Itty Bitty Ditty Committee")

It's the straw pumping that makes this one. I ain't telling no lies!

10. "No Pants in Space" (Episode: "Just One of the Boyz 4 Now for Now")

Performed in one of Tina's boy-centered fantasies, this romantic love triangle rap battle/ballad duet is out of this world. —M.S.

9. "This Is Working" (Episode: "Lindapendent Woman")

A perfect Bob and Linda duet, and the bar against which all Bob and Linda duets should be held.

8. "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl" (Episode: "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl")

You can't exactly sing along to the mega-song that came together when the kids combined their musical adaptations of Working Girl and Die Hard, but what emerged was genius.

7. "The Snake Song" (Episode: "It Snakes a Village")

Where ARE their arms and legs? It's NOT okay! A great Gene ditty that ascends to perfect by the choice to make the list of things he's not afraid of include ghosts and also cancer.

6. "Nice Things Are Nice"/"Bad Things Are Bad" (Episodes: "Wharf Horse (or How Bob Saves/Destroys the Town – Part I)"/"World Wharf II: The Wharfening (or How Bob Saves/Destroys the Town – Part II)")

An epic musical moment befitting a two-part season finale. We get a reprise! And it involves the entire ensemble cast.

5. "Tina's Sad Dystopian Song (What If They're Right?)" (Episode: "Some Like It Bot Part 1: Eighth Grade Runner")

"Is it so bad to steer off course? And wear a shirt with a really cool horse?" Tina & Co. ponder these questions and more in this heartwarming episode about being your unique self. —M.S.

4. "Bad Stuff Happens in the Bathroom" (Episode: "Glued, Where's My Bob?")

"I'll be out of here in no time!" The ballad of poor Bob stuck in the bathroom when he should be prepping for a big magazine interview is a showcase of H. Jon Benjamin's distinctive vocal talents, and the song also gets instantly stuck in your head.

3. "Electric Love" (Episode: "Topsy")

"They say, Thomas Edison is the man to get us into this century/And that man is me." That rhyme scheme alone is enough to get this love song between a man and his soon-to-be-electrocuted elephant into the top 5. But everything about this song — including the fact that Gene and Tina are lip-syncing to Mr. Fischoeder and Gayle — makes it one of the most memorable Bob's Burgers musical moments. A choir comes in! It's magical.

2. "Kill the Turkey" (Episode: "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal")

"Pass!/The cranberry sauce/We're havin' mashed potatoes/Ooh, the turkey looks great/Thank you for loving me/Thank you for being there." Idiosyncratic, strange, not-rhyming, but somehow inevitable, Linda's Thanksgiving song represents the best of Bob's Burgers.

1. "My Butt Has a Fever" (The Bob's Burgers Movie)

Bring in the band kids and move your butts! This fun jazzy performance by the Burger kids will have you wiggling all day long. It's got classic Louise shenanigans, butt humor, and an instrumental break! —M.S.
