(Bubba Sparxxx plus The Little Mermaid is as glorious as it sounds.) She would be the only Disney princess with a shitty ex-boyfriend, except she’s not an official Disney princess—and perhaps that’s for the best, because she’s also the female Disney character who seems like she’d care the least about the distinction. But before all the trauma starts, he gets to sing “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” one of the most purely playful Disney songs. Brian Wilson loved it. The first two chords are D major, with the second being an inversion of it starting on F sharp. I firmly believe that one could boil down the plots of roughly 75 percent of movies to “kissing.” But how many of those films boast a musical number dedicated to that central, smooch-related choice? Alison Herman: This song is our introduction to Aladdin, Charming Rapscallion, which is crucial for maintaining our loyalty once he magically transforms into Aladdin, Filthy Rich Prince. Once Upon A Dream (from Sleeping Beauty) I … Mostly, its value is in signifying that Phil Collins is about to get weird and (successfully) score an entire movie; but it also provides a saccharine mood for a low-key traumatic prologue in which a baby gorilla gets EATEN BY A TIGER! Sample lyric: “And as you sweep the room / Imagine that the broom / Is someone that you love and soon / You’ll find you’re dancing to the tune.” Aside from being the breakout hit on the very first commercially issued film soundtrack ever, “Whistle While You Work” is a relic from a much simpler era, when society could fathom no childhood fantasy more titillating than a handful of woodland creatures who are happy to help out around the house. Or that there were 8 diminished triads (out of only 12!) Friends on the Other Side" is no different. This is usually taught by some violin instructors to improve simple key changes and at the same time encourage a new learner to start with non-demanding, popular songs … “When You Wish Upon a Star” is inescapable: It’s been covered countless times, preserved by the Library of Congress, and credited by Brian Wilson for inspiring one of the best Beach Boys songs, “Surfer Girl.” I couldn’t avoid it even if I went on a Disney media deprivation diet; I live within earshot of a dock for Disney cruise liners, so the first seven notes of the song’s chorus, blasted by a ship’s horn, routinely intrude on my privacy. Composed by Frank Churchill with lyrics by Larry Morey—and sung by Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, Dopey, and Doc (name a more iconic septet)—it’s the father of them all, as ubiquitous Disney anthems go, a plucky ode to pride and determination and branding and cultural ubiquity. This juxtaposition is made all the more powerful by what happens seconds after the song ends, and Mulan finds a doll in the still-burning wreckage. No idea!) !I hope you enjoyed the video. The Simpsons loved it. I really do. Surrey: An ode to bro fragility, “Gaston” is the ego boost our antagonist requires from his legion of sycophants after getting rejected by Belle early in the film. I really do. Request a song on Radio Disney. Los Lobos loved it. The chords are the I, IV, V and vi chords in any key. Her tone is damning, but as she hits that chorus, the melody swoops and soars like the eagle she sings about. The Ballad of Flemmingrad. I’d write more, but I’m crying so much I can’t see my screen. And for what it’s worth, this one is exceedingly hornier. It is the song that’s playing as we see Anna and Elsa’s parents die in a shipwreck, so, you know, good vibes all around. Instead of calling him ugly, they refer to him as “one-of-a-kind.” The song, in true Disney fashion, moves through three different key changes and several different beats, all the while making you feel like the gargoyles are your personal cheer squad. I guess the biggest indication of how good “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” is would be how long its popularity has endured, despite its being the second-most heteronormative/repressive song in Mulan behind “Honor to Us All.”. Baumann: On the Tarzan soundtrack, Phil Collins eyed up Elton John’s galactically popular efforts on Lion King and tried to ratchet the earnestness up to 11, all while not quite hitting the musical theater bull’s-eye the way Sir Elton did. Some of the famous Disney movies are Lion King, Mulan, Pocahontas, Frozen etc. All keys used! Sometimes, it really is just about whether or not you kiss the girl. Pages in category "Disney songs" The following 140 pages are in this category, out of 140 total.

Megan Schuster: This isn’t my favorite song from Pocahontas (that would be no. Their spins aren’t exactly convincing, but they get an A for effort. Lindbergh: It’s strange to experience a strong emotional response to a song that’s become a corporate anthem, but that’s what will happen when most of one’s cherished childhood movies are preceded by the same melody. “It don’t take a word, not a single word / Go on and kiss the girl”? Here's our top 41, from Snow White … The ensorcelled sultan serves as a suitable audience stand-in, amazed as he is by the foreign prince’s presentation. So great was its power back in the mid-’90s that it became much more than a song from a kids movie: It was a bona fide movement. As he saunters around in the shadows—while green fog shoots from the ground, highlighting his cheekbones, which he’s all too proud of—Scar vamps it up and explains his plot to assassinate his brother. I saw two lion pals reminiscing and playing together at dusk; innocent stuff! Peters: It’s a pop song with a giant orchestra and a meaty backing chorus section, the one most likely to send an entire car full of adults into hysterics when it comes on shuffle three hours into a road trip. Click the heart to request your favorite song! Written by Disney god Alan Menken with lyrics by Tim Rice—and sung by Aladdin stars Brad Kane and Lea Salonga in the film—“A Whole New World” won both an Oscar for Best Original Song and, in a first (and only!) In fact, many guitar players and musicians have made millions with songs using different combinations of just 4 easy guitar chords (see the list of 229 easy guitar songs at bottom of this post). Like most pop songs, it’s got a repetitive harmonic structure. So firstily, we can see, quite predictably, that Disney songs favor major tonalities, by a lot. Before you ask, no, Pixar films were not included. Schuster: Idina Menzel, blast my body into atoms using the sonic boom of your vocal cords! So … 17, “Colors of the Wind”) but it’s equally full of adventure and a message to better appreciate nature—which is a very relevant theme in 2019! Life Goes On ["BTS"] Radio ["Gaby Nevaeh"] My Guitar ["New Rules"] Tomorrow (f. OSTON) ["JORDY"] Monster ["Shawn Mendes & Justin Bieber"] Whose Arms (f. Sofia Reyes) ["Stephen Puth"] We Lost The Summer That’s in keeping with Hunchback’s weird, dark, and sinister tone, which never really sat right when I saw this movie as a fourth-grader. (Disney knows what it’s doing.) Boy this took me a while to make, but I loved making this list. Harvilla: At a particularly low point in 1967’s The Jungle Book, when our hero Mowgli is at his mopiest, here come the vultures, a quartet of explicitly Beatlesque moptops (voiced by J. Pat O’Malley, Digby Wolfe, Lord Tim Hudson, and Chad Stuart) who regale our hero with a sweet and only slightly menacing barbershop-quartet showstopper: “We’re friends with every creature comin’ down the pike / In fact we’ve never met an animal we didn’t like.” Disney, in fact, tried to get the actual Beatles for the gig, but ran into scheduling conflicts, or maybe John Lennon just pitched a fit. It ends in a heavy-handed metaphor about choosing the path (or in this case, river offshoot) less traveled, but Disney is rarely subtle about what it’s trying to get across. It has tempo, it has trumpeting fanfare, it has various Robin Williams voices; it starts with some sense of order and—by the time Aladdin bursts through the palace doors—grows almost manic by the end, with colors and lines of verse and acts of genie magic flashing almost too quickly to capture all in one viewing. Although this is a duet, Belle and the Beast aren’t singing to or with each other. It’s a love song from someone who doesn’t want to be in love, who knows enough to assume things aren’t going to work out. Lindbergh: “Circle of Life” is the soundtrack to the most iconic opening sequence from a Disney film, a scene so effective at drawing in viewers that it ran unabridged in The Lion King’s sensational 1993 teaser trailer, heralding the box office apex of the Disney Renaissance. The number’s momentum keeps building as it ramps up to a truly superb finale, during which Lumiere gets to ham it up like the superstar he most definitely is. It was number 5 on the Billboard Top 100, for Elsa's sake! Gotta eat to live; gotta steal to eat. Maybe it’s time for a re-examination of this forgotten oddity of Disney’s Golden Age, because “Out There,” at least, is as stirring as any Disney musical set piece. With the photorealistic remake of ‘The Lion King’ coming to theaters this week, we went back and made the case for the best songs that have ever been in a Mouse House animated film. Recorded for Pinocchio in 1939, “When You Wish Upon a Star” won the 1941 Academy Award for Best Original Song, making it the first Disney song to snag an Oscar. You’re damn right. Instrumental Solo in D Major. Sign me up. A deliciously cruel song for what might be the definitive Disney villain, Cruella de Vil was the only real hit from 101 Dalmatians. Kate Knibbs: Female characters tend to be fully good or fully bad in Disney movies—a Maleficent or a Sleeping Beauty, if you will—but Meg is a little harder to neatly categorize, as she’s a good person with an attitude problem who makes some bad choices. Bluddle-Uddle-Um-Dum (The Dwarfs' Washing Song). Zoladz: First of all, this is an underrated karaoke song. Technically, they aren’t singing at all; the whole number proceeds via inner monologue, reflecting the unlikely lovebirds’ reluctance to reveal what they’re feeling. Which one is your favourite? “Poor Unfortunate Souls” is great—first because it slaps, second because it’s a song in a children’s movie about how avarice is diseased, as demonstrated by a big, shaky baritone and pink wisps of smoke that occasionally take the shape of men who want to be taller and buffer, and women who want to be slimmer, more stylish, and more beautiful.
