Given I did a couple music related posts recently, between the Where Are You and What's New theme song rankings and the Scooby-Doo songs in my music library post, I was thinking it'd be fun to do a ranking of some of the most iconic songs in the Scooby-Doo franchise: the Hex Girls' discography! It was a lot of fun compiling this list, and it was pretty tough to choose between some of these, because there are so many classics here! 13. Scooby Snacks From: Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost Soundtrack This is the only song I don't really like. It's a bit too cheesy and childish in my opinion, and doesn't really feel like it fits in with the style of the rest of the Hex Girls songs. Particularly the lyric "we've got stacks and stacks of lots of snacks" stands out as being a bit cringey to me. 12. Zoinks! From: Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost Soundtrack This one isn't cringey like "Scooby Snacks," but I'm not a huge fan of it. It's cute enough for what it is, but I find their other songs much stronger, and this one has the issue of not really fitting the Hex Girls style IMO. When choosing songs for the Hex Girls' album in my fanfic Hexed, I actually made the decision not to include this one or "Scooby Snacks" due to the tone not really fitting the style of the rest of their discography. 11. What's New, Scooby-Doo? Theme Song From: What's New, Scooby-Doo? - "The Vampire Strikes Back" I really like the Hex Girls' cover of this! Like I mentioned in the post with my What's New theme song rankings, I would argue it's nearly as good as the Simple Plan version. However, I would argue my top 10 are all more memorable than this one. 10. Those Meddlin' Kids From: Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost Soundtrack This one is really catchy! I love the production in this one, and I think their voices sound great here. I had never listened to this before researching for my fanfic Hexed, but I really like this. 9. It's a Mystery From: Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost Soundtrack Of the songs not in the Witch's Ghost movie, this is the best of them. I really like the mysterious sound of this, and I feel the lyrics fit really well with the tone of a goth band unlike some of the other songs on the soundtrack that weren't in the film. This is another one I hadn't heard until a little over a year ago, but I'm so glad I decided to check it out! 8. Good Bad Girls From: Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated - "Dance of the Undead" I like this one, but I can't help but feel it would be a bit higher if it weren't a medley. It doesn't feel we get to hear much of this song beyond just a few lines, but it's a decent song. To be entirely honest though, I like Rude Boy's song a little better haha. I enjoyed how groovy and jazzy it was. 7. Love's Curse From: Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? - "I Put a Hex on You!" This is another great one! "I Put a Hex on You!" is my favorite episode from Guess Who, and I love that they made a new song just for the episode. It sounds quite reminiscent of "Hex Girl" to me. Also, apologies, I couldn't find any YouTube video with the correct title of the song, so I had to link one that has the title wrong. 6. Trap of Love From: Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated - "In Fear of the Phantom" I really like this one for how dark it is. I'd argue it's the darkest song in their discography, and despite it being a bit more intense than their other songs, I thought it was done really well and it was a natural progression of the girls' style. I really liked Daphne's vocals here and the gritty production. 5. Who Do Voodoo? From: Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Vampire I feel my top 5 is getting into the elite material, because all of the remaining songs are amazing in their own way. It's going to be tough to rank these going forward, but "Who Do Voodoo?" is my choice for #5. I really like the song and consider it a classic, but the only reason it's below the other four is because we only kinda get to hear the song in the background with all the noises that the vampires are making. It's strange to me that they'd come up with a whole song only to have it fade out without playing all of it. There are versions on the Internet that silence all the vampire noises and make the song sound crisper, and the version I've heard of the full (or at least, as full as we're going to get) song sound really good. 4. The Witch's Ghost From: Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost This is perhaps an unpopular opinion (although I guess I don't really know for sure haha), but this song played during the credits of Witch's Ghost is a really underrated song. Oddly it's not sung by the Hex Girls' voice actresses...according to the credits, they were played by Gigi Worth, Angie Jaree, and Terry Wood. Regardless, I think they sound just as good as Jennifer Hale, Kimberly Brooks and Jane Wiedlin. The ominous tone of the song sounds amazing, and I like the suspenseful feel of the song, especially towards the end. The production here is the best of any Hex Girls songs IMO. 3. Earth, Wind, Fire and Air From: Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost It's painful to put any of these three so low, but I feel the other two slightly edge this one out. Nonetheless, it's amazing and I love the electric guitar production. Given the girls are eco-goths, I feel the theme of this song most quintessentially fits the band's style out of their entire discography, even if I like the other two just slightly better. 2. Petrified Bride From: What's New, Scooby-Doo? - "The Vampire Strikes Back" I'm sure I've put this song higher than most people would, but this song has always really stood out to me. The fast pop-punk sound of this song really fits with my musical interests, and I feel it is really reminiscent of how pop-punk was really popular in the 2000s with artists like Simple Plan, Avril Lavigne, Paramore, etc. Thorn's voice sounds absolutely amazing here. 1. Hex Girl
From: Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost This song is such a classic that you might say it literally has the band's name written all over it haha. This is an iconic song and has always been my favorite song in their discography, no question. I hope you enjoyed reading my rankings of the Hex Girls' discography! I always love seeing how my opinion compares to others, so if you want to share your rankings, I'd love to chat about it with you in the comments! A storyboard for "Chefs of Steel" shows that Get a Clue may have originally had the series title a bit switched around at one point in production, as Scooby-Doo and Shaggy Get a Clue. Thanks ScoobyDooUK for suggesting this fun fact idea!
