Here are
the next five songs from Bring It On. Notable for two great friendship numbers, “It
Ain’t No Thing” and “We’re Not Done.”
Despite very different melodies, styles, and ultimate theses, both songs
are perfect for a show about kids surviving high school together.
“It Ain’t No Thing” – This is an enjoyable
little number, a nice, affirming piece for Nautica and La Cienega to help
Bridget trust that Twig could be interested in her. Self-love and confidence wrapped in a song
with a nice groove.
Best
lyric: “Love who you are / And the world
will adore you -- / And the couple that don’t, / At least they can’t ignore
you!”
“Enjoy the Trip” – Not my favorite,
though I appreciate the sentiment. Like
“It Ain’t No Thing,” it’s something of a message song, with Randall encouraging
Campbell not to let herself be overwhelmed by the more difficult parts of life. Just a bit sappy for my tastes.
Best
lyric: “So don’t sit on your ass waiting
for life to begin. / If you do what you love with your time, then you win!”
“Killer Instinct” – Humorous “villain”
number for Eva. While her evilness is
pretty over-the-top and kind of more show than tell, I enjoy this song about
how ruthless she is. It’s so sweet and
perky-sounding, and combined with the outrageous callousness of the lyrics, it
makes for a fun song.
Best
lyric: “I’m raisin’ hell n’ / I’m a
felon / In a four foot frame!”
“We’re Not Done” – Love it. Here, Campbell and Danielle talk (er, sing)
through their conflict, coming to the conclusion that, as much as they want to
win, what they’re making together and the time they’ve spent doing it is more
important than any trophy. I especially
love the fantastic blending of voices as they revisit themes/lines from “It’s
All Happening” and “We Ain’t No Cheerleaders.”
Best
lyric: “When they finally play our song
-- / And we move in perfect time -- / We’re in the pocket and no one can stop
it, / We’re not gonna drop --” - “And when we rock it, nobody can top it, /
We’re not gonna stop ‘til we fly!”
“Legendary” – Not much to say here. This song provides the backdrop for Truman
High’s Nationals routine. Catchy and
vain, much like them.
Best
lyric: “Now is our time, / This is our
moment, / We got here by not knowing / What the word ‘no’ meant.”
