Rick and Morty – Original Soundtrack Catalog refers to the officially released music tied to the Adult Swim animated series Rick and Morty (2013 – 2025) created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon. The show’s music encompasses a wide range of original compositions, songs released as singles, and themed music videos, many of which are available digitally through official artist releases and streaming services.
Unlike a traditional score-only soundtrack for a film, the Rick and Morty music catalog includes:
- Official soundtrack compilations and albums released by Adult Swim and associated labels.
- Standalone singles released over multiple seasons, often composed or co-written by Ryan Elder (series composer) and collaborators.
- Music videos and thematic collaborations produced in partnership with Adult Swim and other artists.
Official Album (Spotify & Digital)
An official Rick and Morty soundtrack album is available on digital platforms (e.g., Spotify) containing music tied to the series’ episodes and themes. This release includes original tracks created for the show alongside memorable themes and character pieces, all presented as a unified album from an official representative source on Spotify.
Season Singles and Episode Songs
Across its run from 2013 to 2025, Rick and Morty has officially released numerous singles tied to specific episodes and seasons, composed or co-composed by Ryan Elder and collaborators. These tracks include original compositions and vocal pieces featured within episodes. All singles are officially available on major streaming platforms. For a complete list of season-specific singles, see the detailed tracklist below.
These singles are officially tagged in streaming charts under the Rick and Morty artist profile, reflecting their popularity and direct connection to specific episodes.
Music Video Collaborations and Special Releases
In addition to episode music, Rick and Morty has been featured in collaborative music videos. A notable example is “Rick and Morty x Run the Jewels: Oh Mama”, an Adult Swim-themed video released on 16 March 2018 in partnership with hip-hop duo Run The Jewels, featuring animated Rick and Morty. These videos blend the show’s visual style with music, expanding its cultural impact beyond traditional soundtrack releases.
Beyond external collaborations, the series has also produced original in-universe songs that became instantly recognizable among fans. “Get Schwifty”, performed by Rick and Morty in the Season 2 episode of the same name, was written as a parody pop anthem for the Cromulons storyline. Despite its comedic intent, the track gained real-world popularity and charted on Billboard’s Comedy Digital Track Sales chart.
Another fan favorite is “Goodbye Moonmen”, featured in “Auto Erotic Assimilation” (Season 2) and performed by Jemaine Clement as Fart. With its psychedelic pop style and melodic sincerity, the song stands out for blending humor with unexpected emotional depth, becoming one of the show’s most memorable original musical moments.
Original Composer Contributions
While Rick and Morty features many licensed songs and singles, Ryan Elder has been a central creative figure for the series’ original compositions. His work often blends orchestration, humorous song elements, and narrative-driven cues that appear within episodes and occasionally release as official singles or as part of soundtrack albums.
Licensed Music Note: Many songs featured in individual episodes (especially popular licensed tracks from third-party artists) may appear in curated playlists and fan compilations but are not always part of official Rick and Morty album releases.
