You know you're a 90's kid when you start singing the songs from these iconic movies, and there are so many! Coming up with this list was so hard. How do you rate them and put some before the others? Too hard and just so difficult.
And, yes, I listened to these while writing.
1. "Human Again"--Beauty and the Beast
"Yes, human again. Think what that means!"
Yeah, there's a technicality here. The song was only included in the film since 2002 when the Special Edition came out. BUT the song was cut from the original film. I know! What were they thinking! The song totally fits because when you look at the moment in the during a break in the song, Bell had just read Romeo & Juliet to the Beast and she first finds out he has trouble reading. The struggles and expectations of being human are all what the song is about! As much as being furniture was difficult, being human again would be a breeze.
2. "Arabian Nights"--Aladdin
The instrumental parts of this song are amazing and very beautifully alluring to the viewer. It just gives me goosebumps when I hear very well-done music and this is one of them! It's a shame it last for about a minute in the film.
3. "I Won't Say I'm In Love"--Hercules
"Sha, la, la, la, haaaa!"
Talk about the humor in this song about being conflicted with your feelings about that special someone. We've all been there, Meg!
4. "Virginia Company"--Pocahontas
Disney loves to be the most awesome songs in the begin of the movie! And they are always so short! Much like this next one...
5. "Steady As The Beating Drum"--Pocahontas
You can't have one song without the other! With both songs present, you can see the similarities and differences between the Colonists and the Natives of Virginia. Both are accustomed to the way they live and are happy. However, the Colonists are leaving their families and the Pocahontas' family and friends in her tribe just came home.
6. "You Got A Friend In Me"--Toy Story
Beautiful, awesome song! More people these days need to have a heart-to-heart and make more of an effort to be friends with different people. Goal: Find a stranger, go have an adventure, and you'll be inseparable.
7. "One Jump Ahead"--Aladdin
You're ony in trouble if you get caught. Good thing Aladdin is one jump ahead with these guards.
8. "A Girl Worth Fighting For"--Mulan
"How 'bout a girl who's got a brain...who always speaks her mind?"
9. "Strangers Like Me"--Tarzan
Phil Collins. Nuff Said.
10. "Be Prepared"--The Lion King
"And where do we feature?" Right here. Here it is, Scar acting fabulous and also channeing some dictatorness. Totally taking the hyenias on a wild chase of their lives. And if you've got time, you should take a look at this video. Someone had loads of time on their hands and made a video of Scar singing "Disturbia".
11. "I'll Make A Man Out Of You"--Mulan
Here is Donny Osmond at his finest. And Shang at his. Mulan's got her hands full of struggles in this segment of the movie, but she refused defeat! Way to be a role model, Mulan, to women everywhere!
