For the second year in a row now I had to go with a song from the great Peacock musical comedy series Girls5Eva. This year that winning song is B.P.E. which rightfully stands for Big Pussy Energy. The song had such a presence during the series that there were multiple version of it and honestly based on the greatness of the song I'd take a season only consisting of this great song. The women did a great job singing it and a team of songwriters led by Jeff Richmond did a great job creating the song. Seriously television music would not be the same without Richmond's inclusion.
