Miley Stewart lived a double life as a world-famous pop star -- which took a bit of a toll on her sanity. Sound familiar?

If only the less-fictitious Miley Cyrus -- who's experienced her own roller coaster of personal drama -- had listened to her Hannah Montana alter-ego all those years ago.

The original songs featured in every episode of Hannah Montana -- which premiered on the Disney Channel 10 years ago today -- were disposable bits of pop fluff. But years later, some of them are eerily applicable to Cyrus's real life. Here are our top five:

1. "Let's Get Crazy"

Let's get crazy!
Get up and dance
Take a swing, do your thing
It's worth taking a chance
Let's get crazy!
Yeah, just kick up your heels
On the south, time to shout
Always keeping it real

Let's get crazy! (crazy!) (crazy)

Our songs, our style, our hair, our smile
Our laughs, our hearts, our grace, our smarts
You see me on the cover of a magazine (remember)
Things are always different then the way that they seem, ha
It's an invitation, to every nation
Meet me on the dance floor and we'll make the scene

2. "Ordinary Girl"

Don't get me wrong,
I love who I am
I don't wanna be ungrateful
It probably sounds strange
I really love the role I play
The songs I sing
But with all the fame
The things that seem so simple,
suddenly, so far out of reach
Wish that they could see that underneath...
I'm just an ordinary girl!

3. "I'm Still Good"

I look around me
How did I get here?
Not part of my plan
I ended up in a situation
Wasn't in my hands

...

So I might slip again,
Let it in now and then
That won't mean anything
I'm still good
Trying to be my best
When I fall in some mess
Pick myself up again
I'm still good

4. "Gonna get this"

I can here you cranking up them speakers
I don't really wanna show up any later
Because soon were gonna party like it's New Year's

Yo I'm loving all the music that they're playin'
But I ain't hearin' anything you're sayin'
Today were gonna get this gonna live exquisite
Oh oh, Oh oh (put your hands up)

Somebody dance beside me,
'Cause I'm feelin' good at this party
Yeah, I'm fly just like Bob Marley
So here we go again, just lead up

5. "Ready, Set, Don't Go"

[Imagine this being sung by Miley and Liam Hemsworth:]

Miley: Looks like things are fallen into place
Billy: Feels like they're fallen apart
I painted this big ol' smile on my face
To hide my broken heart
If only she knew
Miley: This is where you don't say what you want so bad to say
Billy: This is where I want to but I won't get in the way
Of her and her dreams
And spreadin' her wings
