Ranking All The Songs from The Hangover Soundtrack
With The Hangover, Todd Phillips created one of the most successful comedies of the modern era. The story of a group of friends who have to piece together the events of a wild night in Las Vegas was funny, relatable, and featured a great cast. But one of the things that helped make The Hangover so special was its soundtrack. The Hangover soundtrack featured an eclectic mix of songs that helped set the tone for the movie. From classic rock to hip-hop, the soundtrack had something for everyone. And now, we’re going to rank all the songs from The Hangover soundtrack. Let’s get started:

“It’s Now or Never” by El Vez covers Elvis Presley’s classic song. The song is about seizing the moment and not waiting for opportunities to pass you by. And while it’s a great song, it doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of the songs on the Hangover soundtrack.
25. Thirteen by Danzig (1999)
This song is playing during the final montage sequence of the movie, as the guys are packing up their things and getting ready to leave Las Vegas. It’s a great way to end the movie with a song that’s both dark and catchy.

“Take It Off” was was one of the Donnas biggest hits, and it’s easy to see why; it’s an irresistibly catchy song. The lyrics are about a girl who wants her boyfriend to take her home and have fun. It’s a pretty straightforward song, but it’s a lot of fun.

Rhythm and Booze is a great song to party to. It’s upbeat and fun, with a message that everyone can enjoy. The lyrics are silly, and the video is goofy, but that makes it all the more fun.

2. Spring: I. Allegro by Antonio Vivaldi (2009)
When you think of the Hangover, you may not initially think of classical music, but Antonio Vivaldi’s Spring: I. Allegro adds a touch of class to the mix. Bradley Cooper’s character seems to feel the same way, as he can be seen listening to it on his iPod in one scene. This song is the perfect choice for a morning-after montage, as it’s both soothing and uplifting.
1. Bridal Chorus by Richard Wagner (2009)
This song is used when Stu (Ed Helms) is getting married. It’s a very traditional choice, and it works well in the movie. It’s a nice, upbeat tune that gets the audience into the wedding mood.
