zoey's extraordinary playlist: my ten favorite songs of each season

i spent the last week watching this show and i'm so glad i did, it's so sweet and emotional. david and emily's arc together was amazing. everything to do with mitch made me cry. it's a really fun take on musicals in terms of doing something new with the format in universe. from this video about my favorite songs one can probably tell that my favorite character is leif. one might possibly also gather that my bisexuality includes 1) all men and 2) joan. and that i'm team max or whatever, although more accurately i think people should once again be more open to ot3s. the possibilities for max/zoey/simon are insane. all three of them singing together. max and zoey explaining the heart song powers to simon. simon and zoey having max around to cool their emotional dependency on each other. max and simon became friends in between the seasons you could get double the friends to lovers why are there only 5 fics with this ship on ao3?? sorry for my polyamorous rant but it's pride month so i can do whatever i want. the true colors scene should be illegal it makes me cry every time. the need you tonight scene should also be illegal because it gets need you tonight stuck in my head every time. and it's my newest personal tragedy that tainted love gets cut off during that scene. leif singing tainted love scene my beloved, you have changed my world permanently. hashtag save zoey's playlist. what do you mean i'm a few years late.

- And if I grow old, well, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you But I would walk 500 miles And I would walk 500 more Just to be the man who walked A thousand miles to fall down at your door - I got the music in me, I got the music in me I got the music in me (I got the music in me) I got the music in me, I got the music in me I got the music in me (I got the music in me) - Say my name, say my name If no one is around you, say 'baby, I love you' If you ain't runnin'
game Say my name, say my name You actin' kinda shady, ain't callin' me baby Better say my name Any other day, I would call, you would say 'Baby, how's your day' But today, it ain't the same - I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pick-up truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died I started singing, 'Bye, bye, Miss American Pie' Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry - You're the medicine and the pain, the tattoo inside my brain And baby, you
know it's obvious - What's obvious? - I'm a sucker for you - Oh, God, really? - You say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly I'm a sucker for you Any road you take, you know that you'll find me - Before the cool done run out, I'll be givin' it my best-est And nothing's gonna stop me But divine intervention I reckon it's again my turn To win some or learn some But I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait - Just a little bit's enough Just a second, we're not broken, just bent And we can
learn to love again I've never stopped, you're still written in the scars on my heart We're not broken, just bent And we can learn to love again - You can lose sight of it all And the darkness inside you can make you feel so small But I see your true colors shining through I see your true colors, and that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show - Yes, and the music's in my head! Not my ears. And I can't just block it out. - Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with
somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me - Unbelievable! - No expression, no expression Hide my head, I wanna drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow - And that man comes on the radio He's telling me more and more About some useless information Supposed to fire my imagination I can't get no-! - One day it's fine, the next it's black So if you want me off your back Well, come on, and let me know Should I stay or should I go? - I just knew too much Does that make me c
razy? Does that make me crazy? Does that make me crazy? Possibly - But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood You know, sometimes Baby, I'm so carefree - Everywhere I go, your face I see Every step I take, you take with me, yeah Nowhere to run to, baby [muffled] Nowhere to hide I know you're no good for me But free of you I'll never be, no - I was found, and now I don't roam these streets I am not the ghost you want of me - If you're lost and alon
e Or you're sinking like a stone Carry on May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground Carry on - You ever love someone so much you thought your little heart was gonna break in two? I didn't think so You ever tried with all your heart and soul to get your lover back to you? I wanna hope so You ever pray with all your heart and soul just to watch her walk away? Baby did a bad, bad thing - I get overwhelmed so easily My anxiety creeps inside of me, makes it hard to breathe What's come o
ver me? Feels like I'm somebody else I get overwhelmed so easily My anxiety keeps me silent when I try to speak What's come over me? Feels like I'm somebody else - The future's open wide [humming] I'll stop the world and melt with you You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time - Kiss me beneath the milky twilight Lead me out on the moonlit floor Lift your open hand, strike up the band And make the fireflies dance Silver moon sparkling So kiss me - So slide over here And give
me a moment Your moves are so raw I've got to let you know I've got to let you know You're one of my kind - I can do that. - I need you tonight - And all the people say You can't wake up, this is not a dream You're part of a machine, you are not a human being Your face all made up, living on a screen Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline Whoa, I think there's a flaw in my code - Well, I can see you home with me But you were with another man, yeah - I know we ain't got much to say Before I
let you get away, yeah - Anyone Please send me anyone Lord, is there anyone I need someone - Oh, anyone Please send me anyone Lord, is there anyone I need someone - It ain't my fault that I'm out here gettin' loose Gotta blame it on the goose Gotta blame it on my juice, baby It ain't my fault that I'm out here makin' news I'm the pudding in the proof Gotta blame it on my juice - Once I ran to you Now I'll run from you This tainted love you've given I give you all a boy could give you Take my tea
rs and that's not nearly all Tainted love, tainted love

This deserved a better story though. Season 3, and more marketing.

@athenamanussos4765

Glee is a good show but we all know it has it's problems, one being that the singing was how most people would describe musicals: "why are they singing instead of talking?" and every time they sang it was from their perspective. Zoey was different, if anyone sang it was their truest and deepest feelings being amplified by Zoey's ability to hear what they were feeling through song and it was from Zoey's perspective. It saddens me that people just see singing and instantly think "not for me", when this show is so good if they just gave it a chance. This show should've really lasted much longer than it did and I really think that good shows along with Zoey that are constantly getting cancelled are a looking glass into the problem within networks.

@missmayette

A lot of the song interpretations were so moving. I loved this show. I wonder why a show like Glee (which I watched for many years) was so popular but Zoey couldn't find traction. Also really enjoyed Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and was glad they were able to complete the story.

@TBrough

Peter Coyote's rendering of True Colors made me cry.

@randilynrichins5971

We really needed a season three

@geovanib2247

My wife and I found this show by chance as the pilot episode was shown in a youtube ad and we instantly fell in love with the show. Even named our son Miles because of it. Definitely wish they continued with it!

@AA-wb5ed

Im so sad musical shows have been failing so much recently, both this and crazy ex girlfriend had very low viewership, both the shows easily became favorites of mine

@1ZeeshanK

I love Skylar Astin's rendition of Anyone! I wish he had a full cover of it

@Sweaterlatethannever

And such a cliff hanger that he can now hear others thoughts in song too

@soulgal7109

I loved this series. All the songs were spectacular, but the first song that I felt had so much emotion in it was Mad World...that was truly sad.

@Zoeysplaylist824

I miss this show so much 😭 when season one finished in quarantine I watched it like 10 times 💀

@denisecaringer4726

I rarely watch fiction TV, but this show grabbed me and would not let go. I still miss it and wish we'd had season 3.

@zagorskaewelina

My gosh, "Just give me a reason" gives me chills. Me and my husband have been through quite a lot of challenges, grew stronger and love each other more and more every year.

@archiesto4444

They really need more seasons of this - I miss this show!

@tortison

I was hooked on this show and still watch it

@cosmicrose3652

I really loved This is Me in sign language

@elisamish

wow! "tainted love" was amazing!

@trudipatterson7788

alice’s anyone instantly just makes me sob

@pattihanson7921

I know it’s crazy but I was waiting for What Does the Fox to make an appearance. He just did such a great job with it.

@benji3224

Great list. I’d add “let’s get loud”. …and there’s a surprising lack of Newell songs here. I believe Alex had pretty great numbers too.
