Today I was watching the Jungle book and I heard this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9cWkUhZ8n4

"oooooh ooby doo I wanna be just like you!" :D

now I've been bouncing along all day humming my arse off, so I think its time for a thread on NSG about your favorite movie songs post your favorites and such

yes I know this thread is just going to be full of the Jungle book but lets give the others a chance :p

None I hate them all.

In fact, I dare say some Eurovision songs are actually better then the stuff you have in disney movies.

None I hate them all.

you must of had an interesting childhood...

I don't like Disney stuff.

The brave little toaster!

That's not a bad song. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's cover is better though.

no those poor cars!

You dissing Louis Prima? You know they call him The Lip?

Anyone in Big Bad Voodoo Daddy called The Lip? Huh?

For whatever reason I didn't see Disney movies when I was a kid, except for The Love Bug. That 'Kiss the Girl' song is kinda cool, I guess.

Uh...
Guh?
A thread about the songs in Disney movies?
WTF?



That's all I have to say. Good day.

As much as I hate The Jungle Book (and its DtV sequel — there are no hippos or orangutans in India, dammit!!!), I have to admit that "I Wanna Be Like You" definitely rocks. Even though Dixieland jazz in the middle of Madhya Pradesh is about as incongruous as the orangutan they have singing it.

However, "Let's Go Fly a Kite" and "Step In Time" from Mary Poppins rock even more. In fact, straight up, Mary Poppins was Disney's finest hour. Every last song on that whole soundtrack was classic.

Enchanted Tiki Room (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney%27s_Enchanted_Tiki_Room)

I really like When She Loved Me (http://youtube.com/watch?v=8bEwhrFRQZY) from Toy Story 2.

Also, En helt ny värld (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wl-jD-HpipM) (Swedish version of "A Whole New World") from Aladdin, and L'air du vent (http://youtube.com/watch?v=ebkmSkihtc0) (French version of "Colours of the Wind" from Pocahontas). Les couleurs du vent (http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxlwM-RqY9U), the French Canadian version, isn't bad either, it's just that the lyrics of the European French version are less childish, but the French Canadian uses more interrogative inversions, which I adore so.

Pink Elephants on Parade

As much as I enjoyed the entire Peter Pan soundtrack in my youth, I have to give the prize to Phil Harris's "Jungle Fever", with a nod to Aladdin's Parade and an honorable mention to Cinderella's "Bibbity Bobbity Boo". Of course, my current children's show fave is "The Nightmare Before Christmas", but I guess this thread is limited to Disney.

Under the Sea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyMyxV4uzSA) and the whole Aladdin soundtrack.

Of course, my current children's show fave is "The Nightmare Before Christmas", but I guess this thread is limited to Disney.
The Nightmare Before Christmas is Disney.

Ah man how have we left out the entirety of The Emperor's New Groove? It's got the word 'groove' in the title for a reason guys! That film rocks hard... well, grooves hard anyway.

But speaking of The Jungle Book, has anyone heard The Jungle Book Groove? Not sure who it's by, but it's an amalgamation of several of the more awesome songs from the film, with amazing trumpet ties ins.

I stopped liking Disney songs when I was about twelve I think. I gradually shifted to liking real music.

Mulan: "I'll make a man out of you" (German version)
This is one of my favorite songs and it's good in many many languages; Chinese (Jackie Chan sings it), German, Danish (guy sounds like a viking), Spanish....and so on.

(Danish: Viking) Det' kun mænd - rigtige mænd, jeg kan bruge!

(Latino-Spanish: This is more the kind of Spanish I speak, but I have to admit that the Spain-Spanish version is MUCH better so I find myself listening to it instead even if it has those sounds that make me giggle like a 12 year old girl.

From Lion King
Be Prepared (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0AiN8vrn9Y)

And while it wasn't written for the movie, I have to credit "Holding out for a Hero" from Shrek 2. I've been unsuccessful in finding a video of the actual movie sequence, but the soundtrack has been used for AMVs of other movies or TV shows. Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBQniRRYI-c) is a video to Heroes that uses the soundtrack from Shrek 2.

Shrek 2 was not a disney movie.

Actually, it was. I think.

It was Dreamworks not Disney.
