If you’re as much of a Disney fanatic as I am, you might find yourself listening to Disney Pandora stations on a regular basis and you might be caught singing your favorite Disney tunes in the shower. Often times I’ll even walk around campus jamming out to “Zero to Hero” or “Mine Mine Mine”. But it’s not enough to just jam out to your favorite Disney hits; relating them to real-life situations gives you an actual purpose to jam out, right? I’ve narrowed down my list of favorite Disney songs to 15 that can totally be relatable to daily life.
1. "Circle of Life" – The Lion King
What better way to wake up in the morning than to “Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba” and the imaginary African sunrise?

2. "I'll Make A Man Out of You" – Mulan
When you know you need to work out but you just don’t feel like it, this is the song to listen to for motivation.

3. "Belle" – Beauty and the Beast
“There must be more than this provincial life!” I hear you, Belle. I know your struggle.

4. "Colors of The Wind" – Pocahontas
This song teaches you the life lesson that we’re not all the same and that you might learn a few things by looking at something from someone else’s perspective.

5. "Under the Sea" - The Little Mermaid
“The human world-it’s a mess!” You’re telling me, Sebastian. I mean just look at the Kardashians.

6. "A Guy Like You" – The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Just like Quasimoto, sometimes your friends need a good pep talk. Go talk to that girl, man, you got this.

7. "You’ve Got a Friend in Me" – Toy Story
The song version of “I got you, fam.”

9. "You'll Be In My Heart" – Tarzan
Leaving someone you love is hard, but they’ll always be in your heart.

9. "Hakuna Matata" – The Lion King
If you’re feeling stressed, this song comes in handy. Four essays? Hakuna Matata. 16-hour workday? Hakuna Matata. Your mom keeps nagging you about your messy room? Hakuna Matata. It’s as easy as that.

10. "For the First Time in Forever" – Frozen
I too have found myself questioning if I was “elated or gassy”; thankfully most of the time I was just really excited.

12. "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" – Mary Poppins
I feel like this whenever I’ve had a few energy drinks. Also if you say this word loud enough you’ll always sound precocious and who doesn’t want that?

Basically this is the same thing as seeing some beautiful, random stranger on the street, deeming them your significant other and then continuing to plan your imaginary wedding on Pinterest.
