10 Underrated And Underappreciated Disney Songs

Hits like "Let It Go" and "Part of Your World" are etched in the memory of any Disney fan, but what about those less popular songs of the same or lesser known movies that are equally as good? Don't they deserve the same recognition and love? Here are 10 Disney songs that you'll instantly remember you forgot and wish you appreciated more.

1. "That's How You Know" - "Enchanted"

"Enchanted" is a unique Disney film with wonderful, whimsical music. "That's How You Know" is one of the best from the film that is made even better with Patrick Dempsey's character's amazement that everyone in Central Park knows the lyrics to Giselle's spontaneous number.

2. "I See The Light" - "Tangled"

Tangled isn't the most underrated Disney movie, but its music is definitely under appreciated. This sweet song is beautiful aesthetically in the movie and lyrically because it's the moment when Rapunzel and Flynn finally realize and admit their love for each other, they see the light of their love.

3. "God Help the Outcasts" - "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"

Everything about "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is underrated and under appreciated. Almost every song from the soundtrack should be on this list, but "God Help the Outcasts" is definitely one of the highlights. The song is basically a prayer for mercy on all of those less fortunate and the outsiders of society beautifully sung and very touching.

4. "When We're Human" - "The Princess and the Frog"

Another underrated Disney movie is "The Princess and the Frog" and "When We're Human" is a jazzy tune with killer trumpet skills by an alligator about all the things these animals would do if and when they become human.

5. "(I Won't Say) I'm In Love" - "Hercules"

Meg is arguably one of the best characters in the Disney classic "Hercules" and her song is the most underrated of the movie. It perfectly describes Meg as a character and her struggle to admit she's in love. It's not a cliche love song, but it is catchy and a little sassy.

6. "Honor to Us All" - "Mulan"

In the shadow of the ever popular "Reflection," this song is full of hope that Mulan will bring honor to her family. Although she doesn't do this in the way her family expects her to, "Honor to Us All" does foreshadow that she does, but by saving China.

7. "We Are One" - "The Lion King II: Simba's Pride"

Sequels aren't usually the best of movies, but "The Lion King" series challenges that trend through its soundtrack and plot. This song is a super cute father daughter moment between Simba and Kiara with a beautiful meaning and vocals.

8. "Once Upon A Dream" - "Sleeping Beauty"

"Once Upon A Dream" is a dreamy number of a mostly forgotten or at least overshadowed Disney classic film. Aurora's story and the music that accompanied it is vastly underrated, maybe because she was asleep for most of it, either way this song should grace your ears in more than just your dreams.

9. "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" - "Aristocats"

In slight contrast to "When We're Human," "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" is about how being a cat is pretty great, obviously. Both songs have a jazzy feel and both are underrated songs of underrated movies.

10. "The Gospel Truth" - "Hercules"

The Muses have crazy vocals and their opening narrative of "Hercules" is crazy under appreciated, along with every other time they sing in the movie.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
