A thumping, sneaker squeak/basketball bounce-infused R&B tune about the distraction of a new crush.

This full cast performance amusingly warns about straying from established cliques. "Stick to the Status Quo" actually sounds like something you might hear if you went to a Broadway show for kids!
7. "Scream" from 'High School Musical 3 Soundtrack'

"Scream" begins as a quiet ballad, then transforms into a fuzz guitar-fueled rocker. It's one of the more interesting and appealing songs on High School Musical 3, just because it doesn't sound like everything else.
6. "Breaking Free" from 'High School Musical Soundtrack'

"We're All In This Together" is an exuberant, full cast, Drumline-like tune about school spirit and individual uniqueness.

From an otherwise blah soundtrack, "You Are the Music in Me" is the song you've most likely heard, a genuine tween pop hit about young friendship/love.
