Last year at this time I called attention to a very obvious problem we have with Thanksgiving: that we don't have nearly enough music about it. If you'd like to check out those songs to get you in the holiday spirit, here is the link.
Well this year the Thanksgiving music is back and better than ever, but this time with a Disney twist. That's right, I combined this beloved holiday with some of your all-time favorite Disney songs. So it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that I welcome you to be my guest to share in these Disney Thanksgiving songs...
When you're counting down the days until Thanksgiving is finally here: "Almost There", The Princess and the Frog
It's almost here. It's almost here. People probably think I'm crazy, that's how much I care. and Projects and examinations, I've had my share. There ain't nothin' gonna stop me now 'cause it's almost here.
When your grandma makes the best stuffing around and you're can't wait to enjoy some: "I Just Can't Wait to Be King", The Lion King
Oh, I just can't wait for stuffing. Oh, I just can't wait for stuffing. Oh, I just can't waaaaaait...for stuffing
When everyone's setting up all the food and you just want to eat: "When Will My Life Begin?", Tangled
And I'll keep wondering and wondering and wondering and wondering. When will this line begin?
When the timer goes off on the oven and the food's now ready: "That's How You Know", Enchanted
That's how you know. That's how you know. That's how you know. That's how you know the turkey's done.
When your relatives bring along a new significant other you haven't met yet: "Strangers Like Me", Tarzan
I want to know, can you show me? I want to know about these strangers I see.
When the food is so good, as per usual, and you want to make sure you thank the cooks: "I Wanna Be Like You", The Jungle Book
Ooh-bi-doo, I wanna cook like you. I wanna trim like you, baste like you, too.
When you're picking out all of the food you're going to eat: "You'll Be In My Heart", Tarzan
You'll be on my plate. No matter what they say. You'll be here on my plate, anyways.
This one works equally well: "Mine, Mine, Mine", Pocahontas
It's mine, mine, mine for the taking.
When you're a college kid who hasn't seen this much good food in a while: "For The First Time In Forever", Frozen
For the first time in forever, there'll be turkey, there'll be buns. For the first time in forever, nothing is microwave-done.
When you didn't wait to let your food cool and you burn your mouth (but it was worth it): "Hellfire", The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Like fire, Hellfire. This fire in my skin. It burns like no other, yet I will bite again.
When you're fighting over the last dinner roll: "Let It Go", Frozen
Let it go, let it go. Won't hold it back anymore.
When you're full but you still need to check out the dessert table: "Something There", Beauty and the Beast
There might be something there that wasn't there before.
When you regret not listening to your mom earlier when she said not to eat too much: "Mother Knows Best", Tangled
Mother knows best. Listen to your mother. There's just too much food out there. Mother knows best. One way or another, you'll regret eating it all, I swear.
When you're watching the football game and your team starts scoring big: "Zero to Hero", Hercules
Zero to zero, right off the bat. Zero to hero, after that pass.
When you think about all of the hard-working people forced to work that day or Black Friday: "Poor Unfortunate Souls", The Little Mermaid
Those poor unfortunate souls, so sad, so cruel. Customers come flocking to the store crying "Sale prices, please!" And they help them, yes they do!
When you're just so grateful for all of your family present: "A Girl Worth Fighting For", Mulan
What do we have? A family worth fighting for.
And there you have it. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
