What is the best song from Family Guy?

    Some of the best Family Guy moments have been musical numbers and now it's time to see which one really is the funniest.
    My favourites include:
    'You Have AIDS' - Peter and a barbershop group sing to a terminally ill patient.
    'Shipoopi' - Peter celebrates scoring a touchdown for the New England Patriots.
    'I Need A Jew' - Peter wishes for a Jew to fix his financial problems.
    'Road to Rhode Island' - Brian and Stewie break into song during a train journey home.
    'Vasectomy' - The aforementioned barbershop group sing to Peter about getting a vasectomy.
    'Can't Touch Me' - Peter enjoys diplomatic immunity.

    Thoughts?

    wow i knew there was a reason they had music in family guy simpsons american dad ect.
    I always thought it was just americana's who loved it.

    please dont take offensive, what age are you if you dont mind, i just like having information about what demographic's like what in what shows ect because for me the worst thing about any cartoon is the singing and every single person who watches them with me all hate the songs as well.

    Anyway what about the rest of you do you all like the songs is it just me and my mates who HATE the songs in all the cartoon shows

    I think it's something the Simpson's can do really well..

    "See My Vest" and "Who Needs a Quickie Mart" for example...

    But the stuff in Family Guy is rarely funny and often painful to watch. "Shipoopi" being a particularly terrible moment... I did like the theme tune to Peter's sitcom though "My Black Son"


    ...and also he's a ninja!

    Ah yeah, Shippopi was terrible. Also wasn't a big fan of the FCC song - it was alright though.

    'Give Up The Toad' was good.
    'you have AIDS' was fuckin hilarious!
    'I Need a Jew' was ok.

    I loved Stewie and his sperm brother singing Love Lift Us!

    Rock Lobster is also pretty cool.

    Oh, and remember Peter's Playhouse song?! haha brilliant...

    I thought "You've got a lot too see" from the Season 3 ep "Stuck together, torn apart" was excellent. Surprised u didn't mention it yet.

    Seconded. Seth MacFarlane has a great singing voice, imho. That episode is really sad actually!

    Its something I've always disliked about Family Guy...I just can't stand the songs they do. I'm a huge fan of the show, but they really put a downer on it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,803 ✭✭✭Mark Hamill


    I don't really like most of the Family Guy songs- They're not funny enough- but I do like that one from when Peter out farted Michael Moore


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 994 ✭✭✭mental07


    Ha ha, had forgotten about Peter's Christmas songs. "Holy crap, here comes Jesus, and he doesn't look too happy" :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,108 ✭✭✭youcancallmeal


    Best song ever in Family Guy was Peter's cover version of the B52's Rock Lobster. He sings it to Cleveland to make him feel better after his wife left him.

    Here it is :)

    anyone know what episode the song "my black son" is from? never seen that before


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,413 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Hasn't been mentioned yet but don't think i'll ever forget Peter singing Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin' in karaoke.. not an original song but brillantly done!

    Done waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before 'The Sopranos' finale got the song loads of interest and radio airplay!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,863 ✭✭✭kevpants


    What about Peter working at Burger King.

    "Ding fries are done,
    Ding fries are done,
    Would you like an apple pie with thaaaaat,
    Would you like an apple pie with thaaaaat"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,413 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Funny but was nothing more than a homage to this:

    This is pretty good. Not from the show itself, I know, but it's funny all the same.



    Love the little dig they make at 'The Sopranos'! Didn't see that coming! :D


    Surprised no-one's mentioned the Stewie pisstake of the infamous William Shatner 'Rocket Man' video. That one cracked me up as well. I know it wasn't an original song and was a homage/pisstake of something else, like the 'Ding, Fries Are Done' song, but I still thought it was brilliantly done.
