A List Song is a song whose lyrics lists a bunch of things that all tie together in some way. Not quite the same thing as a Patter Song (though they can overlap). A patter song is a song which spits out a lot of words in very little time. Lots of sixteenth notes, a moderate-to-fast tempo, and more often than not, a very limited melody. The test of patter-songitute lies in the music. An example of a patter song that isn't a list song would be "The Worst Pies in London" from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, or "Trouble" from The Music Man, or "I've Just Seen a Face" by The Beatles. A list song is made so by the lyrics. List songs that aren't patter songs include "I'm Still Here" from Follies, and "It Might as Well Be Spring," from State Fair. Admittedly, most list songs are going to be patter songs, but they aren't interchangeable terms. Usually a List Song is used for one of three reasons: a series of jokes, giving a sense of something by its details ("the children out of school / the heat is getting boiling / The baseball season is really going / It must be the end of June..."), or Edutainment ("United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama..."), although both of the latter two frequently overlap with "comedy" anyway. The difficulty of memorizing the lyrics of List Songs is evident when actors in live performances sometimes forget what they're supposed to be singing. It's also very easy for fans to add whole verses of unofficial lyrics to list songs; in many cases, far more lines were written by the original lyricists than could ever have been used. Some particularly common examples are covered by subtropes: "Days of the Week" Song Listing Cities Major General Song Song of Song Titles Theme Tune Roll Call The Twelve Spoofs of Christmas We Didn't Start the Billy Joel Parodies |

"These Are the Things That Make a Man" in Wintersmith is a song that lists the chemicals that make up a man ("Iron enough to make a nail, water enough to drown a dog...") concluding with three intangibles (strength, time and love). This went on to become "The Making of a Man", Terry Pratchett's favourite track on Steeleye Span's album based on the book. Also in the Series/Discworld series is The Hedgehog Song. The actual lyrics are never given, but it's implied to be a rather dirty one of these. |

Animaniacs had one for the nations of the world, one for the states of the US and their capitals and one for all the US presidents up to that point (Clinton). They also parodied themselves by purporting to have Yakko singing every word in the dictionary. Yakko also sang a song listing all the planets in the Solar System, except Uranus. There's a song about all the senses, including horse sense, common sense, and fashion sense. One starts out as a quasi-list song of movies, but punning on them the whole way (The Princess Bride got married to the handsome Prince of Tides / which makes her dad, The Fisher King, the Father of the Bride). It then goes into a straighter version where the Warners rattle off the names of as many movie stars as they can think of. The revival has a song about the First Ladies up to Melania Trump. |

Total Drama has a couple of examples in the music-oriented World Tour season: In "Before we Die", the contestants are falling to their seemingly likely deaths after being blown out of the plane, and sing in rapid succession of what they wanted to do before they die. At the end of the song, they switch to asking for things that could save their lives. "Her Real Name Isn't Blaineley" has Geoff listing Blaineley's mostly petty flaws, including things like dyeing her hair, buying two pairs of the same pants in different sizes so people will ask if she's lost weight when she wears the larger pair, and, of course, that her real name isn't Blaineley. (It's Mildred.) |

Pokémon gives us the Pokérap and the similar Japanese song "Pokémon Ierukana?"note Meaning "Can You Name All the Pokémon?". There have been Kanto and Johto versions for each, but the US got a Hoenn one and Japan got a Unova one. In a more roundabout way, "What Kind of Pokémon are You?", which listed all of the Pokémon types from that era. "2.B.A. Master" tried to list all the original 15 types, but it included Fire type twice (once normally and once by it's Japanese name "Flame") and skipped Poison. There's also "Can't Stop Catching 'em All" from when Pokémon Black and White were released in North America, which is sort of an incomplete English Pokérap for Unova, though as stated prior Japan provided a complete one. |

One starts out as a quasi-list song of movies, but punning on them the whole way (The Princess Bride got married to the handsome Prince of Tides / which makes her dad, The Fisher King, the Father of the Bride). It then goes into a straighter version where the Warners rattle off the names of as many movie stars as they can think of. | |
