* Eric has a ton of these in the musical; his main song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t_s6aXCgOA "Her Voice"]] is a beautiful love ballad wherein he states his determination to find the girl with the beautiful voice [[RescueRomance who saved his life]]. And all he knows is that she has a beautiful voice.
-->'''Eric:''' And her voice\\
Is sweet as angels sighing\\
And her voice\\
As warm as summer skies\\
And that sound\\
It haunts my dreams and spins me 'round\\
Until it seems I'm flying...\\
Her voice...

!!!The Series
* "In Harmony" from "The Evil Manta" is one of the most heartwarming things ever.
** When the Manta is trying to brainwash Flounder into hating Ariel, Flounder ''knows what he's doing'' but pretends to go along with it. The Manta leaves, Ariel catches up to Flounder and is all worried that he's no longer her friend, only for Flounder to drop the act and reassure her that he didn't buy the Manta's words for a second. Then this leads to a flashback of how Ariel and Flounder first met and became friends.
