Disney songs, better when translated?

Having taken my nightly intake of unecessarily over-caffinated energy beverage, I find myself trolling youtube, and subsequently expierienceing a sort of epifany. Most DIsney movies have been translated into god knows how many languages.

Upon further examination, i've found that most are best when dubbed into German.

Justification is only a click away. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKOJ5bEKPLY)

Any favorites of yours, mates?

I have to disagree. Especially not that song.

I particularly like the Italian versions, myself. I spent hours googling Italian Disney songs during my language lab sessions. Hey, it was helping me learn...

way to end a thread man. Sure it's bad but you don't need to say it like that.
I find it's easy to like any music regardless of the language, just so long as it sounds good.

I do like the Evil version (http://youtube.com/watch?v=fcbazH6aE2g) of "Part of your World" from The Little Mermaid.

Sorry, but it had to be said.

Oh no. Disney songs aren´t better when translated. Try ¨Hakuna Matata¨ in Spanish. It´s awful!

Oh come now. The scar voice actor is far more deliciously evil compared to Jeremy Irons. The words flow with such a sense of malevolence, that only the german language could produce.
