Love, love, love, la la love, la la love makes the world go round!
  • James L. Venable's incessantly catchy and epic drum n' bass score, which also makes excellent use of the Amen break.
  • The score from The Movie. Say what you will about the rest of it, but it's worth watching just to hear the show's score style played by a Hollywood orchestra. The track that plays over the opening titles sounds just enough like the series' opening theme (particularly the part that accompanies the shot of their rogues' gallery), but without the triumphant overlays associated with the titular heroes. It works as a reminder that we're seeing a Townsville that's missing something, but that's all about to change in a matter of seconds...
  • "See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey" has a few memorable songs, due to being a Musical Episode.
  • On "Stray Bullet", when the hawk captures Bullet, the music as the hawk flies sounds intense and Native indian-like, especially with those drums drumming. The wing beats even add to the intensity.
  • Before there were AI covers, there's Mojo Jojo covering Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" in "The Powerpuff Girls Rule!". Yes, that is Roger L. Jackson singing it in his Mojo voice. Almost makes you feel sorry for the maniacal monkey...
  • Major Man's theme song. Bad hero, good music. The Swedish version isn't half bad either.
  • "Signal in the Sky (Let's Go!)" by The Apples in Stereo from the show's Heroes and Villains tie-in album, which later got an equally awesome music video and was featured in the episode "Super Friends," where the band cameos on a TV. It's also maddeningly catchy.
  • Also from "Heroes and Villains" is "Go Monkey Go". It didn't get featured in an episode like "Signal in the Sky", but it did get an amazing music video. If Mojo's trying to conquer the music industry, it's working.
  • The ending theme. It's very catchy, plus it sings about the Girls themselves.
  • Buttercup (I'm A Supergirl), by Shonen Knife, featuring an amazing guitar solo and lyrics that describe what the Powerpuff Girls are all about. It even got featured on a few of the show's earlier VHS compilations.
  • If you like Ms. Keane, then you'll probably like the song her class sings in "Substitute Creature" of how much they appreciate her, with its sweet lyrics. And apparently, Timmy's Dad got a job on the radio.
  • From the Eastern side of things, the first opening theme, Kibou no Kakera by Nana Kitade, is a rocking tune that fits the tone of the Alternate Continuity well, and was considered so synonymous with Z that it got a special chiptune arrangement for the DS game!
  • Who's Got The Power?, the opening theme song from the 2016 reboot. Even PPG fans who hate the reboot consider this song one of the few good things to come from it.
