(2023) Best Homework Songs to Listen While Study

• Post author By admin
• September 21, 2022

Doing homework is a very boring thing.

It is tough to make your mind ready for homework, but staying focused on your homework is the more challenging.

Do you also feel bored while doing your homework?

I do not know about you, but when I was a student, I always started feeling bored and uninterested just by hearing the name of homework.

But then I started using a magical thing that changed my boring homework session to a fun session.

That magical thing is homework songs.

If you do not know about homework songs, then these are the songs that you can hear while doing your homework.

There is no particular category of these types of songs; these are entirely based on your taste in music.

But some music makers create such songs that fulfil the requirements of being a homework song.

In today’s blog, I will suggest many homework songs that you can use as your homework song.

There will be some songs that were produced as homework songs. 

And others will be the songs that are regular songs, but you still can use them as homework songs.

This will be a detailed blog about homework songs, so read it till the end.

Table of Contents

How to Choose a Homework Song?

Before going to the suggestions, let me tell you how to choose a homework song.

In my suggestion list, you will get all types of homework songs. 

Some songs will follow the steps that I will tell you in this topic.

And some will not.

I will do this to increase the number of options for you.

But I designed a checklist that you should check before choosing a homework song.

The first thing you should check is that there should not be lyrics in your homework songs.

Lyrics can distract you from your homework, so always choose the song with no vocals.

If you have a favourite song that has lyrics, you can find its music on the internet. 

You can do this, but I will not suggest this even.

Because if you have a favourite song, then there is very much possibility that you will already know the lyrics.

And when you play the music of that song, then there is a very high possibility that music will change your homework session in a music party.

Because if you know the lyrics and your favourite song music plays, then no one can stop you from singing it.

Relaxing Music

You can select any music genre as your homework song.

But most people suggest that the song you are going to select for homework should be relaxing.

So, your first priority should be a relaxing song. 

A relaxing song will help you relax your mind while doing your homework.

Not just with homework, if you want to do any other work as well and feel stressed; you can use these songs there also.

Below, I shared a complete list of relaxing songs that you can use as homework songs.

It would be best to try to use long mixes of songs for your homework.

There are a lot of 1 to 2 hours (Even longer than this) long mixes that are present on YouTube. 

You can choose them according to yourself.

Sometimes, your homework session can be very long, like 3 to 4 hours. 

In those times, these long mixes will help you a lot.

If you are using these extended mixes, then you do not have to replay or change your song. 

By this, you can focus on your homework more appropriately.

You also can use the loop feature, but these mixes are very well edited, so you get a lot better experience in these mixes.

So, This was a small checklist of 3 points about choosing homework songs.

You should consider these points while choosing a song for your homework.

But, it is not mandatory that you have to follow all these points and only then you can choose a good song.

If you have another song that you think will help you focus on your homework, you can choose that.

I also shared those types of songs in this blog that do not follow these three rules.

Below, you will find a list of songs that follow these rules and the songs that are entirely opposite.

Best Homework Songs For Your Boring Sessions

I hope you understand the above rules that I have shared; I should start my suggestion list now.

These are some of the best songs for homework that everyone suggests; this list is not based on a single category.

You will find different kinds of songs on this list. 

If you want songs category-wise, then you can scroll a little in this blog.

For now, here are some best homework songs.

Most of the songs that I have shared are the instrumental version of the original songs, so all the credits goes to the respected owners of the songs.

Homework Songs With My Checklist

Relaxing songs are the best when you have to do study or homework.

These songs help you relax your mind and increase your concentration and focus.

Moreover, it also helps you to avoid distractions around you.

That’s why I thought to make a different list of just relaxing songs, try to choose a song from this list.

It will help you a lot with your homework. 

If you consider relaxing music boring, then you don’t have to worry.

After this list, you will find some fun and sad homework songs as well.

But for now, here is the list of some best relaxing songs that you can use for homework songs.

Best Relaxing Songs For Homework

Relaxing songs are the best, when you have to do study or homework.

These songs help you to relax your mind and to increase your concentration and focus.

Best Fun Songs For Homework

This was one of the most challenging lists to select.

Fun songs that are also for homework; It was a pretty challenging task.

But after some research, I have selected some songs that are fun and you can use them for homework.

Some of these songs have Lyrics. 

That’s why before choosing a song from this list, think for some time.

I will suggest you test every song from this list and then decide which song works better for you.

1. Life ain’t fair music

There are two versions of this song, one with lyrics and one without lyrics.

Its version without lyrics is just on another level; it gives me chills every time I hear it.

Its beats drops are just crazy and fire.

If you watch TikTok or Instagram reels, then I am sure you have heard it.

You can use this song as your homework song. It is a good song, no matter how much time you listen to it, you never get bored.

One problem about this song is that its without lyrics version is not available on Spotify.

But you can hear it from YouTube, just type “life ain’t fair,” and this song will be in front of you.

You can put this song on loop and can do your homework.

2. Fairytale (Alexander Rybak)

If you like the violin, then this song is for you, and if you do not like it, then this song will make you love the violin.

This song has lyrics, but its music is so great that you will find thousands of without lyrics versions of this song.

The music of this song will give you another level of excitement.

You can use this song while doing your homework, but keep one thing in mind, don’t start vibing with this song.

Because it will make you vibe, and then you will get distracted.

3. NF – The Search (Bass Boosted)

“The beat drop of this song slaps harder than my dad’s belt” I had read this line from this song comment section.

And it is entirely correct; this song just fills another level of energy.

I first heard that song on social media, and I liked it so much that I searched for it on YouTube.

It took some time to find this song as I did not know the song’s name, but then I finally found it.

The name of the official song is NF – The Search, and it is available on the NFrealmusic YouTube channel. 

It is a good song, but its bass boosted version makes it much better.

You can choose this song for your homework, but one problem with this song is that it has Lyrics.

18 of the most hilarious songs in the history of rock music

Throughout the decades, rock musicians have never been afraid to infuse a little humor into the songs that they write. From tongue-in-cheek innuendo to out-and-out goofs, the annals of rock music history are full of good jokes.

Flip through the slideshow below for 18 of rock's funniest tunes, 

"Mercedes Benz," Janis Joplin

Written by the legendary late singer Janis Joplin in 1970, "Mercedes Benz" is a prayer for sorts, with Joplin asking God to bless her with everything from a night on the town to the titular vehicle. And despite its tongue-in-cheek lyrics, it has the morbid distinction of being the last song that Joplin recorded before her death. 

"Gimme Three Steps," Lynyrd Skynyrd

This swampy 1973 southern rock hit is relatable to anyone who's found themselves in a barroom disagreement that they don't quite understand. It's based on a real-life experience involving frontman Ronnie Van Zant, in which he found himself staring down the barrel of a gun after unknowingly dancing with another man's lady. 

"The Cover of 'Rolling Stone,'" Dr. Hook

This Shel Silverstein-penned tune is a tongue-in-cheek send-up of "Rolling Stone" magazine, with the band lamenting that even though they're selling tons of records, they've never been on the cover. And maybe it's only because "The Cover of 'Rolling Stone'" song was a hit, but Dr. Hook did end up on the cover eventually. 

"Tribute," Tenacious D

This ridiculous song from Jack Black-helmed duo Tenacious D tells the story of a band that has to play the "greatest song in the world" for a demon, lest their souls be eaten. And we know that they survived because of "Tribute," which is merely — as its title suggests — a tribute to the rock glory that Tenacious D (allegedly) served up on that fateful night. 

"Abracadabra," Steve Miller Band

Okay, so it may not have the explicit humor of other songs on this list, but there's definitely something funny about singing "Abra, abracadabra" over and over in a song that is absolutely about more X-rated behavior than the typical magic show. 

"Don't Eat The Yellow Snow," Frank Zappa

The lyrics of this weird 1974 Frank Zappa song are a little culturally insensitive all these years later, but "Don't eat yellow snow" remains solid advice for anyone. 

"Love Shack," B-52s

Whether it's frontman Fred Schneider's exaggerated vocals, the kitschy vibe of the music video, or those endlessly catchy lyrics, everyone loves "Love Shack," even if singing along does feel a little cheesy. 

"The Pina Colada Song," Rupert Holmes

Rupert Holmes mines the personal ads for the lyrics to "The Pina Colada Song," in which a woman who loves pina coladas but isn't a huge fan of yoga seeks to find the love of her life. And even though it involves the protagonist dumping his girlfriend for his new flame, this song does actually have a happy ending. 

"Short People," Randy Newman

If the lyrics to this 1977 song sound a little harsh toward the vertically challenged among us, that's because "Short People" is intended to be a statement about how ridiculous any type of prejudice or bigotry really is. But it's still funny to think about short people menacing the world with their "grubby little fingers" and "dirty little minds." 

"Stacy's Mom," Fountains of Wayne

This early '00s single was a major success thanks to the inherent awkwardness of its subject matter. There's nothing more cringe than being a teen who's crushing on your friend's mom, and the music video for "Stacy's Mom" really drives home the comedic effect. 

"Fat Bottomed Girls," Queen

Whether it's Freddie Mercury's characteristic strut or the idea of belting out lyrics like "Left alone with big fat Fanny, s he was such a naughty nanny," Fat Bottomed Girls is great for simultaneously rocking out while laughing. 

"Margaritaville," Jimmy Buffett

Even though he's in a tropical paradise, Jimmy Buffett is really going through it in "Margaritaville." He's lost his shaker of salt, blown out his flip-flop, and stepped on a pop-top, and the only cure is a potent batch of margaritas. Who among us hasn't felt exactly the same way? 

"Whip It," Devo

The lyrics for this 1980 new-wave fave are total nonsense, the band is wearing ridiculous hats in its music video, and sonically, "Whip It" just sounds like one big joke. It is, apparently, a satirical take on relentless optimism, but it mostly just sounds like a silly '80s hit all these years later. 

"Tequila," The Champs

With its jazzy mambo beat and very sparse lyrics, "Tequila" has been played for laughs in everything from "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" to "The Simpsons." It always feels especially funny after a few shots of its namesake beverage, too. 

"In-A-Gadda-A-Vida," Iron Butterfly

Really, the funniest thing about this song is its title. "In-A-Gadda-A-Vida" was supposed to be "In the Garden of Eden," but frontman Doug Ingle was so drunk when he relayed its title, it was transcribed in a way that somehow actually fits an absurd 17-minute rock song.  

"Werewolves of London," Warren Zevon

Even if the "a-woo!" refrain doesn't give you a laugh, the absurdity of the idea that there's a werewolf prowling around London and drinking pina coladas at Trader Vic's after attacking old ladies is funny enough on its own. 

"Pretty Fly For A White Guy," The Offspring

It's easy to laugh at the protagonist of this 1998 alt-rock hit, because he's a complete loser, and a total poser. And underneath its goofball vibe, "Pretty Fly For A White Guy" is a scathing send-up of anyone who seeks to appropriate hip-hop culture without actually understanding it. 

"1985," Bowling For Soup

Originally recorded by the indie band SR-71, Texas pop-punkers Bowling For Soup scored a massive hit with "1985," which centers around a woman stuck in the '80s and trying to relive her glory days while stuck in the boring suburbs.
