64 “GET ON THE BUS”<br />

of pomp, which is sung by members of the court when Mia <strong>The</strong>rmopolis<br />

(Anne Hathaway) is crowned.<br />

“Get on the Bus” is the cheery lite-rock song sung by the three<br />

Doodlebops—Rooney (Chad McNamara), Deedee (Lisa Lennox), and<br />

Moe (Jonathan Wexler)—in the television series <strong>The</strong> Doodlebops (2005).<br />

Carl Lenox wrote the sunny number, and the three colorfully costumed<br />

pop singers perform it on their magical bus, which opens up into a stage.<br />

<strong>The</strong> bus driver Bob (John Catucci) joins the threesome in inviting the<br />

viewers to board the bus that can go anywhere.<br />

“Get’cha Head in the Game” is a cross between a patter song and rap<br />

number from the television production High School Musical (2006), in<br />

which the tempo of the song is set by the bouncing of basketballs and the<br />

screeching of sneakers in the school gym. Albuquerque teenager Troy<br />

Bolton (Zac Efron) and his fellow basketball players sing and dance the<br />

and Chico Bennett for <strong>The</strong> Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003), the feature film<br />

sequel to the popular television series. When Jo Maguire (Hallie Todd,<br />

singing voice of Haylie Duff) is not feeling good about herself, she imagines<br />

she is a singer in a rock band and performs this song showing the world<br />

what she’s got to offer.<br />

“Girl Power” is the lite-rock testament to female empowerment sung<br />

by four teenage singers in the television movie <strong>The</strong> Cheetah Girls (2003).<br />

Although they are of different races, Galleria (Raven-Symoné), Chanel<br />

(Adrienne Bailon), Aqua (Kiely Williams), and Dorinda (Sabrina Bryan) are<br />

bound together like a family. <strong>The</strong>y sing this number at an audition, holding<br />

their heads high because they have each other. <strong>The</strong> song, written by Ray<br />

Cham and Rawanna M. Barnes, was turned into a popular music video featuring<br />

the four Cheetah Girls.<br />

“A Girl Worth Fighting For” is the delightfully ironic comic number<br />

written by Matthew Wilder (music) and David Zippel (lyric) for the ani-
