Melbourne Cup Day is one of the rowdiest Aussie traditions we’ve got. Australian culture really is something.

Now for everyone who is on board with MCD, it’s time to get PUMPED for the festivities. You have such an eventful day just around the corner that will inevitably play out just about the same way as it always does…

You start the day more put together then you’re usually ever looking (hello weird ass headpieces it is your time to shine), and you finish the day more fallen apart than is probably good for you (2 lit 2 quit).

To get around some Melbourne Cup Day HYPE, we’ve put together this playlist of tunes that chronicle every stage of your action-packed day to really enhance your experience. It’s a wild ride so hold on to your dranks #keen. Scroll to the bottom to stream the full playlist via Spotify.

We will kick off with everyone’s favourite Melbourne Cup banger/favourite banger for any and everyday..

The Horses – Daryl Braithwaite

Tbh this song is for playing throughout the whole bloody day. Whenever, wherever.

Fancy – Iggy Azalea ft. Charli XCX

 For when you’re feeling fly af in your Melbourne cup get up.

Yea boi.

Pony – Genuwine

For the pre-race HYPE.

Bet On It – Zac Efron (High School Musical 2)

For when you temporarily embrace a gambling addiction for the day.

"Bet On It" shows Zac at his finest. Unlike his counterpart, Vanessa, Zac retains the ability to transcend the fourth wall and mesmerize his audience though he is the only character on screen. He also looks super cute in all black. It's just a simply iconic performance that will be studied and lauded for centuries.
