1	''Hey, it's Franklin!'' And he's got great songs to share with you!
2	-----
3	* Admit it, you're already singing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlqyE-lWqCE the theme song]] while reading this page.
4	* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYq4G4vn4Lw Waaaake up! Spriiing, where are you?]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NC5JRLWebo I guess I'll have to do it my own waaayy.]]" from ''Franklin and The Green Knight''. Wow, Franklin and his friends can really sing! Not only that, but the music itself is generally bright and bouncy, except where it's not supposed to be, and has a generally catchy sound. A lot of the film's instrumental cues are fairly nice to listen to as well. It's not for nothing that the making-of documentary on the DVD (unusual enough for a release of this type) includes a section specifically on the film's music, and not just the vocal songs. It helps that Creator/NoahReid is also a singer and had an extensive background in musical theatre, including playing Chip in the Toronto production of ''Theatre/BeautyAndTheBeast''.
5	* The play ''Franklin and the Adventures of the Noble Knights'' features surprisingly great songs:
6	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BoVvkHnaLc Hey It's Franklin]]" an awesome cover of the theme song.
7	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9FzCKgicy8 The Ballad Of The Noble Knights]]" is...well, a ballad, with a catchy folk sound.
8	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7SR3qAE9bo Play On]]" is a catchy tune where Franklin and his friends all sing together and individually.
9	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZfpFgFtfHQ Would You Like To Be A Real Hero?]]" is an ode to heroes sung by Franklin and friends.
10	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxNryVjD5Fc Just So Much Faster Than You]]". Two characters who don't get much focus, Fox and Rabbit, take the spotlight in an energetic duet.
11	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVGOeMF8-Ks It's Great To Be A Knight]]", if you haven't noticed by now, but Franklin and his friends really like to roleplay and frequently play knights, princesses, and castles.
12	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ag0XlMgZ8Y Too Small To Be A Hero?]]" is a sweet duet with Franklin and Snail.
13	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qfK3GhidhU A Hungry Little Bear]]" is a playful solo sung by, well, guess.
14	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR3NALlUibc Misunderstood]]" is an awesome piano ballad with a solo female singer that is reminiscent of "[[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Let it Go]]".
15	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pRbBDzy0og Festival Of The Noble Knights]]" features a great song to end the show.
16	** In conclusion, it's quite a shame that it's hard to find footage of the play, not to mention seeing the performance live.
17	%%Quotes from lyrics and video links are not context. What's awesome about these tracks?
18	* The original "Hey, It's Franklin!" album contains some great music from the original stage shows, from which footage is even more difficult to find, if not outright impossible. "Come See the World" in particular really stands out an invitation to a world of child-like wonder.
