I'm sure many of you had a favorite Disney movie or character when you were younger. Maybe you wish you had a tail like Ariel, were in love with Cinderella's ball gown, or wish you were a strong fighter like Mulan. Of course, many Disney movies wouldn't be possible without the songs that are still stuck in our heads decades later. But, maybe we all are Disney princesses at heart ... or just in college.
I mean, who wouldn't want to have a prince or princess save them from the distress of final exams, all-nighters, or the common issues college students endure? Maybe all it takes is getting whisked away to a fraternity formal or just your typical night out. If Disney characters can sing about their problems or about their daily lives, why can't we?
*Disclaimer: To get the full benefits of these songs, you must sing them ... out loud.
1. "Make an 'A' Out of You" -Mulan
Let's get down to business,
To turn these grades, around.
Why did you make me write this, when I could, have fun.
You're the meanest prof I've ever met
But you can bet before we're through,
Somehow I'll make an 'A' out of you.
2. "I Won't Say I am Drunk" -Hercules
If there’s a prize for rotten judgement,
I guess I’ve already won that.
No night is worth this aggravation,
Those days are ancient history, been there, done that.
Who'd you think you’re kidding,
Between the death and heaven to me.
Try to keep it hidden,
Honey we can see right through you (Oh no).
Girl, you can’t conceal it,
We know how you’re feeling.
Who you keeping it from?
No chance, no, I won’t say it, no, no.
You swoon, you sigh, why deny it, oh, oh.
It’s too cliche, I won’t say I am drunk.
I thought my body had learned its lesson,
It feels so good when you start out.
3. "Under the C" -The Little Mermaid
Homework takes much longer
When you wait 'till Sunday night.
You stay up working all night
But that's just a big mistake.
Just look at your friends around you
Right here on your res [residence] hall floor.
What a stressful sight around you,
College is more than you bargained for.
Under the C,
Under the C.
It just ain't easy,
Exams making me queasy,
Take it from me.
Up in our dorms we sleep all day,
Then on the weekends we wanna play.
Grades are just sinking,
Wish I was drinking,
Under the C.
4. "Can You Feel The Stress Tonight" - The Lion King
I can see what's happening (What?)
And they don't have a clue (Who?).
They'll fall apart and here's the bottom line,
They won't know what to do.
The sweet caress of coffee,
There's deadlines everywhere.
And with all this pressure thats settin' in,
Disaster's in the air.
Can you feel the stress tonight?
The fear the daylight brings.
Their world again, is slowly crumbling,
With all these other things.
5. "School Is Making Me Poor" -Frozen
[me] Mysummer ended with lots of slaps in the face. And then I saw my bank account.
[roommate] ‘Cause I was working hard all day to make some fat stacks. And maybe it's the clothing or the rent that I paid.
[me] But the food…
[roommate] But the food…
[me] It's never cheap.
[roommate] It's never cheap.
[both] This is something, I've never had before.
School is making me poor!
School is making me poor!
School is making me poor!
[me] For food,
[roommate] For school,
[me] For rent,
[roommate] For food,
[both]
School is making me poor!
