Top 10 My Chemical Romance Songs


not okay they’re really very good
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
My Chemical Romance songs
this list we’ve chosen our entries based
on a combination of the artists fan
favorites and their most commercially
successful songs
number 10 mama
to kick off our list we head straight to
the front line
mama is a brutal portrayal of the life
of a soldier the horror of the
battlefield and the cruelty of combat
the title is likely a reference to a
character in the rock opera The Black
Parade known as mother war
with its mini marching beat and blood
Laden lyrics Gerard Way is rallying his
troops against her dark and coins
and let’s not forget that Liza Minnelli
makes a guest vocal appearance as well
call me sweetheart
maybe number 9 the ghost of you
Oh
our pick for number nine could have been
written with war in mind the Saving
Private Ryan esque video certainly seems
to suggest so
the ghost of you actually tackles the
theme of loss in a more general sense
which can also be applied to much of
their entire second album
three cheers for Sweet Revenge
three and a half minute tune is
slow-paced but full on and has an
unforgettable refrain
it hits hard and concepts
number eight I don’t love you
compared to some of my Chemical
Romance’s other songs
the story behind this single is a little
easier to figure out
boy meets girl they fall in love they
fall out of love and then this happens
the third single from the Black Parade I
don’t love you is a reminder that
there’s more to MCR than pomp lyrics and
a mosh pit sound
it’s part break in audio form and it’s
something we all experience but at least
the song can guide us go
do
number seven nah
as the first single from their fourth
album nanana signals the start of
something new for the boys from New
Jersey
with the departure of drummer Bob Bryar
and increasingly stagnant recording
sessions they were quickly losing dry
and direction
this tune put a stop to that by taking
the music industry by its vitals and
pulling real hard
is also able to raise the bar with its
simple but unbelievably catchy chorus
number six famous last words
the last track on the Black Parade this
song’s also the last chapter in the
story of the patient who is the album’s
main character
he’s made it this far and this looks to
be the end so here’s his last hurrah
so does he live or does he die does it
really matter
famous last words is one hell of a jam
that can turn hard times into happy one
number-5 Singh you’ve got the Nana na
may have set the example
but Singh is the call to arms
it’s an anthem and a critique it’s MCR
showing that in music conformity is a
disease it’s made by the modern standard
the band goes genre free and hits us
with this funky dancing new-age
concoction
their eventual death in the futuristic
video is perhaps a reminder that they’re
gonna need help so don’t make them
martyrs to the cause
number four I’m not okay I promise
on a fee that song
when it comes to being emo this song has
got you covered
paying homage to the high-school region
I’m not okay is mostly recollections of
Gerard ways younger days
upon its release My Chemical Romance can
fund themselves as the emo Punk pioneers
lighting the way for the innumerable
imitators that followed
more than just a trendsetter though the
single is all-out energy and lyrically
it’s spot-on hey just me
they are not reminded shall we
fred’s I’m nothing
number three teenagers
having more or less created emo with the
song that’s our fourth entry MCR
continues to tame the style and also to
try to break away from it with this trap
boys and girls in the clique the awful
names at the stick
you’re never gonna fit it much shit
angry at modern society’s murder machine
rather than encouraging disillusionment
about gun violence the band makes a see
that there is another way
a belter from the Black Parade it’s a
reality check for listeners everywhere
and a wake-up call to the powers that be
more music less gun
number two Elena
written in response to the passing of
Gerard and my keyways grandmother Polina
also outlines the concept for the band
second album
Gerard’s singing about the story of a
girl and guy and the depth of breaks
from apart we find love and loss as its
keepeez
drawing upon the brevity of life it’s
the signature closing track at an MC our
show and a haunting tune that will
surely stick with you
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
busy
good plans at their number one welcome
to The Black Parade because one day
lead you
one of the most ambitious projects the
band has ever undertaken
welcome to The Black Parade became their
first and only top-ten hit on the
Billboard Hot 100
concerned once again with the crossover
between living and dying the song
details the passing of the patient and
his acceptance into the parade of death
it’s an image reaping an instrumental
masterclass and a standalone achievement
in music
none of us is immortal this track very
well could be
