65[[folder:Alan Menken]]
66* The score for Disney's ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast,'' which won both a Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Score:
67** "[[https://youtu.be/afzmwAKUppU Be Our Guest]]", Academy Award nominee. Funnily, Menken originally thought it was the dumbest piece of music he could ever possibly write, intending it as a "throw away" melody in order for Howard Ashman to write lyrics.
68** "[[https://youtu.be/qztb9CdIkkk Human Again]]". Originally cut from the film, but was present in the musical and eventually reinstated in the 2002 DVD release.
69%%** "[[https://youtu.be/emsoXMAdgjQ Prologue]]".
70%%** "[[https://youtu.be/VCy08FsFwJU West Wing]]".
71%%** "[[https://youtu.be/V_sdrwJ_erk Belle]]" and [[https://youtu.be/5Oni8_k5twU Reprise]], the former an Academy Award nominee.
72%%** "[[https://youtu.be/VuJTqmpBnI0 Gaston]]".
73%%** "[[https://youtu.be/nwZEcdBMLLU Something There]]".
74%%** "[[https://youtu.be/qAZmHrtloD8 The Mob Song]]".
75%%** "[[https://youtu.be/tH9RTuaUL8k Transformation]]".
76* ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'':
77** "[[https://youtu.be/kV3D1ASN7Xc Proud Of Your Boy]]". Ultimately cut from the film, but present in some stage productions. The original version is sung by Menken himself; a [[https://youtu.be/DdWB9zYLsAA 2004 Remake]] was sung by Clay Aiken.
78** Jafar's VillainSong went through numerous iterations, eventually ending up on the quick but snappy DarkReprise of "[[https://youtu.be/SSzzWzG1JRI Prince Ali]]." Of the songs (those that have been released to the public, anyway), though, "[[https://youtu.be/Z7YbpeIvQSw Why Me?]]" deserves credit as an epic case of WhatCouldHaveBeen. Jafar pulls out a full-on show-stopper, beginning as Jafar laments those who kept him down before escalating more and more as Jafar uses the Genie to make himself the most powerful sorcerer in the world as the music becomes booming and darkly triumphant.
79%%** "[[https://youtu.be/-kl4hJ4j48s A Whole New World]]", Academy Award winner.
80%%** The Oscar nominated "[[https://youtu.be/Z0eT1PnkKmc Friend Like Me]]".
81%%** "[[https://youtu.be/sMap9XGJvx4 Arabian Nights]]" and "[[https://youtu.be/Q1yK3ysiplU Legend of the Lamp]]".
82%%** "[[https://youtu.be/g5vB8jR2fdQ One Jump Ahead]]" and [[https://youtu.be/-PV7bl84rZA Reprise]].
83%%** "[[https://youtu.be/UcHby89WcwU Prince Ali]]" and [[https://youtu.be/Rgo1qMQ6czo Reprise]].
84%%** "[[https://youtu.be/1mY-m2nvXGQ The Cave Of Wonders]]".
85%%** "[[https://youtu.be/ioETl5vMvEs Happy End In Agrabah]]".
86* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}}'':
87** "[[https://youtu.be/14BoNmlIMxU Colors of the Wind]]", Academy Award winner.
88** "[[https://youtu.be/KiuBw_kj1-U If I Never Knew You]]". Cut because it slowed the pace of the movie, it was reinstated in the 2005 DVD release.
89%%** "[[https://youtu.be/fcLK-nPc7-w The Virginia Company]]" and [[https://youtu.be/aZzxfZPvhKE Reprise]].
90%%** "[[https://youtu.be/tkj9FSsnZU4 Steady As The Beating Drum]]" and [[https://youtu.be/4v8LS4keLTw Reprise]].
91%%** "[[https://youtu.be/_nWd4CnWOas Just Around The Riverbend]]".
92%%** "Listen With Your Heart" [[https://youtu.be/ahMoZe4Ye_s Part I]] and [[https://youtu.be/INLi7gH4oLE Part II.]]
93%%** "[[https://youtu.be/XV9vKnBxdlk Mine Mine Mine]]".
94%%** "Savages" [[https://youtu.be/M1SiHkQGxWo Part 1]] and [[https://youtu.be/58OGRM4HSWI Part 2.]]
95%%** "[[https://youtu.be/dxxLAJUYNt0 I'll Never See Him Again]]".
96%%** "[[https://youtu.be/ISaMOxZHEsk Execution]]".
97%%** "[[https://youtu.be/_EHCOJ8g_9Q Farewell]]".
98%%* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'':
99%%** "[[https://youtu.be/c4COfl8DMB8 The Bells of Notre Dame]]" and [[https://youtu.be/FfzstNCjgeY Reprise.]]
100%%** "[[https://youtu.be/SZdKGul8XlQ Out There]]".
101%%** "[[https://youtu.be/rvNMEuedsJk Topsy Turvy]]".
102%%** "[[https://youtu.be/mlo0cQKEHWM A Guy Like You]]".
103%%** "[[https://youtu.be/wlIPHjm13EU Heaven's Light/Hellfire]]".

106%%** "[[https://youtu.be/fMs5bxGTvAg Someday]]".
107%%** "[[https://youtu.be/FSvuouzBo8g Sanctuary]]".
108%%* ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'':
109%%** "[[https://youtu.be/9kwot-vBP2s The]] [[https://youtu.be/E_iPMLcrW0I Gospel]] [[https://youtu.be/YyRZwdgHN_A Truth]]".
110%%** "[[https://youtu.be/zgnHF2CwrPs Go The Distance]]" and [[https://youtu.be/s_Ltp3XS1t8 Reprise]], the former an Academy Award nominee.
111%%** "[[https://youtu.be/OtTmR_v6pz4 One Last Hope]]".
112%%** "[[https://youtu.be/Tl0DMTlwLw4 I Won't Say I'm In Love]]".
113%%** "[[https://youtu.be/qokXWHEViVc A Star Is Born]]".
114%%** "[[https://youtu.be/Pa0lMzaljTk Zero To Hero]]". ''"Yes indeed!"''
115%%** "[[https://youtu.be/5SnLfCmc7HE Oh Mighty Zeus]]".
116%%** "[[https://youtu.be/352k8wAVWag Cutting The Thread]]".
117%%* People don't tend to look upon ''WesternAnimation/HomeOnTheRange'' [[OddballInTheSeries very]] [[SoOkayItsAverage well]], but the songs deserve some sort of recognition.
118%%** "[[https://youtu.be/gnqBunt6Xlo Little Patch Of Heaven]]".
119%%** "[[https://youtu.be/xJw3YfB6CNY (You Ain't) Home On The Range]]" and [[https://youtu.be/RtonyItfpDg Reprise.]]
120%%** "[[https://youtu.be/oF2QEJBOfTM Yodel-Adle-Eedle-Idle-Oo]]".
121%%** "[[https://youtu.be/tthYzUhuvZE Will The Sun Ever Shine Again]]". Menken himself revealed at the 2013 D23 Expo in Anaheim that the song was initially written about his views on the aftermath of 9/11.
122%%** "[[https://youtu.be/mBPbYbpdI7c Wherever The Trail May Lead]]".
123%%** "[[https://youtu.be/iI62nvxGVU0 Anytime You Need A Friend]]"
124%%*** [[https://youtu.be/E9Z7dev6daw Alan Menken version.]]
125%%** "[[https://youtu.be/-A5kqsD2DNA Cows In Town/Saloon Song]]".
126%%** "[[https://youtu.be/Lf4NFyeCL9g Buck]]".
127%%** "[[https://youtu.be/Od4cOdKmP7s My Farm Is Saved/Little Patch of Heaven (Reprise)]]".
128%%** "[[https://youtu.be/M9zx3Tb4k8E Cows To The Rescue]]".
129%%* From the part animation, part live-action film ''Film/{{Enchanted}}'':
130%%** "[[https://youtu.be/z2n5ObJo2iM True Love's Kiss]]".
131%%** "[[https://youtu.be/597PS5iWCCQ Happy Working Song]]", Academy Award nominee.
132%%** "[[https://youtu.be/2idK0qoBuWo That's How You Know]]", Academy Award nominee.
133%%** "[[https://youtu.be/Ad7ejBn3KSQ So Close]]", Academy Award nominee.
134%%** "[[https://youtu.be/Fc96f2MxCrU Ever Ever After]]".
135%%** [[https://youtu.be/OO9lIRGD6DQ "Narissa Arrives"]], the theme that plays when [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Narissa arrives in the human world]].
136%%** "[[https://youtu.be/lacrnHnBtLY Enchanted Suite]]".
137* ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'': The songs may not be up to a ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' or ''[[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Little Mermaid]]'' caliber, but they're still great.
138** "[[https://youtu.be/3HW31f7nRl4 When Will My Life Begin]]". A nice, upbeat song that expresses Rapunzel's very slight frustration at not being able to leave.
139** Also [[https://youtu.be/i2_M9a2r7os "Waiting For The Lights"]], the gorgeous score piece that directly precedes it. This piece perfectly expresses the emotions felt in the scene.
140%%** "[[https://youtu.be/zS_Zg_bovfo When Will My Life Begin (Reprise)]]".
141%%** "[[https://youtu.be/eftKKjVo6Y8 Mother Knows Best]]".
142%%** "[[https://youtu.be/iBHpWH1Qptg Healing Incantation]]".
143%%** "[[https://youtu.be/_Klf8uWkvaw I've Got A Dream]]".
144%%** "[[https://youtu.be/yGmGLfBQ32c Mother Knows Best (Reprise)]]".
145%%** "[[https://youtu.be/ZMJFxFZgc_8 I See The Light]]", Academy Award nominee.
146%%** "[[https://youtu.be/XYfySVrQxto Kingdom Dance]]". Holy cow.
147* Although not from a movie, "[[https://youtu.be/GlfcDCCev24 Compass of Your Heart]]", his composition for [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Tokyo DisneySea]]'s ''Sinbad's Storybook Voyage'' ride, really sounds epic with a hint of ThePowerOfFriendship as the cherry on top.

150[[folder:Randy Newman]]
151* ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'': Let's see, which songs were in the movie again?
152** [[https://youtu.be/woP1GRsvfjg "Almost There"]], Academy Award nominee. Ladies and gentlemen, Disney is back!
153** The DarkReprise of "[[https://youtu.be/aTqHbiE0vl8 Friends on the Other Side]]" is a deliciously ironic bit of horror.
154** [[https://youtu.be/S6yw2SmG674 "Friends on the Other Side"]]. Hands down the best song in the movie; Creator/KeithDavid really does it justice, and the technicolor effects are ''fantastic''.
155%%** [[https://youtu.be/nYo8LZHLnTw "Down in New Orleans" (Prologue)]].
156%%** [[https://youtu.be/zBhO_T6mvco "Down in New Orleans"]], Academy Award nominee.
157%%** [[https://youtu.be/8ZjVKGPXaJU "When We're Human"]].
158%%** [[https://youtu.be/nD9tKWQYdcs "Gonna Take You There"]].
159%%** [[https://youtu.be/jFqLmIP6RA4 "Ma Belle Evangeline"]].
160%%** [[https://youtu.be/CtNNp6KOthQ "Dig A Little Deeper"]].
161%%** [[https://youtu.be/BIpjUhQH46I "Down in New Orleans (Finale)"]]. There's not one single song in this film that should ''not'' be included in this trope.
162%%* And here's the music that they used in the trailer! ''[[https://youtu.be/YyyHqtRgHl8 Enjoy.]]''
163%%* Speaking of which... the credits theme, "Never Knew I Needed". Not to mention Randy Newman's beautiful score.
164[[/folder]]
165
166[[folder:Phil Collins/Mark Mancina]]
167* Phil Collins did ''WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}'' right:
168** "[[https://youtu.be/5lG2HrqhTkU You'll Be In My Heart]]", Academy Award winner. [[https://youtu.be/CjA7BRbQeVg Film Version.]]
169** Not only does Mark Mancina's instrumental score for the movie qualify for this trope, but some of those pieces, including [[https://youtu.be/03dC0XBHKB8 "Moves Like an Ape, Looks Like a Man"]] perfectly fit the Crowning Music of Heartwarming trope.
170%%** "[[https://youtu.be/n4hVVn5OlnI Two Worlds]]".
171%%*** [[https://youtu.be/6Gyt6pS9vM0 Reprise.]]
172%%*** [[https://youtu.be/ZtADSGlE0yk Finale.]]
173%%** "[[https://youtu.be/YD-WjWoy47c Son of Man]]".
174%%** "[[https://youtu.be/C6PoB300Lw4 Strangers Like Me]]".
175%%** "[[https://youtu.be/yfb9qbSCttw Trashin' The Camp]]".
176%%* From ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear'':
177%%** "[[https://youtu.be/Jf7kymTAjqc Welcome]]".
178%%** "[[https://youtu.be/XyZ2F9IajcY Look Through My Eyes]]".
179%%** "[[https://youtu.be/M5Vw_qSqYdA On My Way]]".
180%%** "[[https://youtu.be/Eaemu1F-ExA No Way Out]]".
181%%** "[[https://youtu.be/pP0GlreI0yc Great Spirits]]".
182%%*** [[https://youtu.be/aNIcR2BnO5M Phil Collins version.]]
183%%** "[[https://youtu.be/7fkaUDujwEk Awakes As A Bear]]".
184%%** "[[https://youtu.be/85WNcQgrueE Transformation]]".
185%%*** [[https://youtu.be/lGA7McBYHvo English version.]]
186%%** "[[https://youtu.be/4PcfRx8HyTo Three Brothers]]".
187%%** "[[https://youtu.be/tpl7BIC1Wd8 Wilderness of Danger]]".

190[[folder:Sherman Brothers]]
191* From ''WesternAnimation/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'' we have the classic: Besides having the extremely catchy "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers," the DisneyAcidSequence [[https://youtu.be/CLnADKgurvc "Heffalumps and Woozles,"]] the main theme "Winnie-The-Pooh" itself is legendary.
192%%** "[[https://youtu.be/oLRBidDuvmg Winnie the Pooh]]".
193%%** "[[https://youtu.be/dJFyz73MRcg The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers]]".
194* ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'':
195** [[https://youtu.be/IXGgDIj5KvA "I Wan'na Be Like You"]] is possibly the best jazz song ever to grace the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon. Plus, it's ''damn catchy.'' "Well, oobee-do..."
196** Acclaimed director Mary Zimmerman produced an adaptation that embraced both the original Kipling stories and the Disney version, using songs from it (as well as "Jungle Rhythm" from ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook2''). [[https://youtu.be/0QxzPjLfcgY Here]] is their version of "I Wan'na Be Like You".
197** Academy Award-nominated "Look for the ''baaare ne-cess-ities, the simple bare necessities....''" (Not written by the Sherman Brothers though, but by Terry Gilkyson.) If you didn't like the simple "Bare Necessities"... then there's always ''[[https://youtu.be/aXwEBp3cKfM this version of the song]] by none other than Music/LouisArmstrong''. Amazing doesn't even begin to cover it.
198** On the instrumental side of things, "[[https://youtu.be/eOylNJnSbzM The Overture]]" and "[[https://youtu.be/BurstLd39VA Tiger Fight]]" are pretty much amazing. Tiger Fight from 0:48 to the end is epic and makes driving a very fun adventure.
199%%** "[[https://youtu.be/PrQQZuLru9s Colonel Hathi's March]]".
200%%** [[https://youtu.be/zEvoKVrrhf4 "That's What Friends Are For".]]
201%%*** Think that's chilling, try the song ''[[https://youtu.be/QHZrlrBLLm4 they had planned for Shere Khan that was cut,]]'' which showcases his character as a regally ruthless hunter with a cold, dark baritone: it was cut for being too dark, among other reasons as cut characters and characterization.
202* ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats'': "[[https://youtu.be/_I1_5mSXinQ Everybody Wants to be a Cat]]". Of course, there's a bit of ValuesDissonance there, with the incredibly racist Siamese cat playing Chopsticks, but it's still a catchy song.
203%%* "[[https://youtu.be/yPdDK88X9lU Wherever You Are]]" from ''Pooh's Grand Adventure''.
204* From ''Film/MaryPoppins'':
205** [[https://youtu.be/XHrRxQVUFN4 "Feed The Birds"]] and [[https://youtu.be/HrnoR9cBP3o "A Spoonful of Sugar"]] are awesome.
206*** "Feed the Birds" should get special recognition for being Walt Disney's personal favorite song written for one of his films.
207*** There's also [[https://youtu.be/utBBAqD3i1E this]] instrumental DarkReprise during Mr. Banks' "walk of shame" the bank.
208** "[[https://youtu.be/yOb3B6qamqY Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious]]/Even though the sound of it something quite atrocious/If you say it loud enough you'll always sound precocious/Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"
209** [[https://youtu.be/BA-g8YYPKVo Everybody now... Ohhhhhhhhhh... LET'S... GO... Fly a Kite!]]/Up... To the Highest Height!/Let's... Go... Fly a Kite/and send... it soaring/Up through the atmosphere/Up where the air is clear/Oh, let's gooooooooo... FLY A KITE!"
210** The melancholy reprise of [[IAmSong "The Life I Lead"]] sung by Mr. Banks and Bert after Mr. Banks gets fired and Bert encourages him to take a more active role in his children's life. "A man has dreams of walking with giants/ To carve his niche in the edifice of time..."
211%%** "[[https://youtu.be/xyzrKJAu9Rk Chim Chim Cher-ee]]", Academy Award winner.
212%%** "[[https://youtu.be/4I-b_GJ4ltk Step In Time]]" is a fun jaunty number loaded with high-energy music and Dyke's vocals leading the way to "Step in Time".
213%%** "[[https://youtu.be/8yC_voMY6kY Stay Awake]]".
214%%** "[[https://youtu.be/MCWjGMetU0E Penguin Dance]]".
215%%** "[[https://youtu.be/kw4gpy1BweM Jolly Holiday]]". For the Broadway version, the British composers George Stiles and Anthony Drewe [[https://youtu.be/OpWjHmiNysg expanded on the song nicely.]]
216%%** "[[https://youtu.be/BvAGNSJ7Wrc I Love To Laugh]]".
217* ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'':
218** [[https://youtu.be/eb6seu90dX8 The opening song]] is almost unbearably moving.
219** [[https://youtu.be/75BJ2ovo-S0 "Rubity, Scrubity, Sweepity"]] (the self cleaning kitchen). It's brief, but catchy.
220%%** "[[https://youtu.be/7bd5YUEOwlE Higitus Figitus]]".
221%%** "[[https://youtu.be/qhwXgvOfJc8 That's What Makes the World Go Round]]".
222%%** "[[https://youtu.be/oDWnuddCf0E A Most]] [[https://youtu.be/HzZ4RGdsL50 Befuddling Thing]]".
223%%** "[[https://youtu.be/zANV9XNwfE4 Mad Madame Mim]]".
224%%* From ''Film/BedknobsAndBroomsticks'':
225%%** "[[https://youtu.be/LbyFbJFjhxk The Age of Not Believing]]", Academy Award nominee.
226%%** "[[https://youtu.be/RcQ3vNOAk8k The Beautiful Briny Sea]]".
227%%** "[[https://youtu.be/cbZe8YK0OgA The Old Home Guard]]".
228%%* From ''Film/{{The Parent Trap|1961}}'':
229%%** "[[https://youtu.be/1sWi4_0jycA Let's Get Together]]".
230%%** "[[https://youtu.be/8_KJ-5RWgnQ For Now, For Always]]".
231%%** "[[https://youtu.be/0D9WbiUseLI The Parent Trap]]".
232%%* ''The Happiest Millionire'': "Fortuosity".

235%%[[folder:James Newton Howard]]
236%%While Music/JamesNewtonHoward's work with Disney is purely non-musical (save ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'': the songs were written mainly by Goo Goo Dolls' frontman John Rzeznik) he nonetheless deserves mention for his work on three films:

269* [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad You can't reason with a headless man]]...[[https://youtu.be/mAyZDH3HhT4 but you can dance to his song.]]
270* Most of the music from ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'' is pretty good, but [[https://youtu.be/-HcqCFva-Gc "I 2 I"]] takes the cake as the absolute best song of the movie.
271** Closely matched by "[[https://youtu.be/DD4VofgnOkU Stand Out]]".
272** Probably the most emotional song in the movie is [[https://youtu.be/2ckq9vk5rAI Nobody Else But You]].
273* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' sequels not only prove to be decent (except for ''Return of Jafar''[='=]s OffModel LimitedAnimation), but they have excellent {{Villain Song}}s. ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar'' has [[https://youtu.be/oAekJFZrIhk "You're Only Second Rate"]]. ''WesternAnimation/AladdinAndTheKingOfThieves'' has [[https://youtu.be/lm8NgB5XGIA "Welcome to the Forty Thieves"]] and its DarkReprise [[https://youtu.be/xY5q01fTceQ "Are You In or Out?"]], as well as the beautiful and romantic Liz Callaway ballad [[https://youtu.be/1TRs6CLugaU "Out of Thin Air"]].
274* ''WesternAnimation/{{Bolt}}'':
275** "[[https://youtu.be/vKOW185MwaQ Rescuing Penny]]" manages to be sad and awesome at the same time.
276** [[https://youtu.be/1U2XVGlS_gc Barking at the Moon]], in combination with the road-trip montage that it accompanies, is Crowning Music of Heartwarming.
277** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnsnsiqIu5s I Thought I Lost You]]" proved that after 30+ years, John Travolta still had great pipes.
278* ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster'' may be little known, but it has plenty of awesome music.
279** "Vacuum Rescues the Group", which is just plain epic, with all the fanfare and so on. Also, there was a totally ''Zelda''-style "Item Get" when Toaster gets the battery.
280** "[[https://youtu.be/e3U_PbbjMJk Worthless]]", which doubles as a TearJerker for the cars being dragged to their final fates in the crusher.
281** Also from the score, we have [[https://youtu.be/hc18jRyLR3M the Finale]] and [[https://youtu.be/W-AOvGDvQkM the End Title]].
282** Also, "[[https://youtu.be/MdT9_FGekBQ Toaster's Dream]]". Yes, it plays during one of the most terrifying scenes in the whole movie, but it is actually very epic and creepy at the same time.
283** "The Storm". Lampy, the comic relief, [[HeroicSacrifice nearly getting himself killed]] just to recharge their battery in a storm to save not only Blanky, but the rest of his friends as well? Coolest. Scene. ''Ever''. And the music just about proves it.
284** "[[https://youtu.be/QwEKqVAisKg It's a B Movie]]" is delightfully creepy.
285** "[[https://youtu.be/GLkT0lJEft4 Cutting Edge]]" is very catchy, even as it gets more ironic with each passing year.
286* The [[https://youtu.be/Tg9P2rTmgDM Transformation sequence]] in ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear'' has a beautiful Inuit song playing over the entire scene which makes this scene even more awesome. The best part, the song is also available in English on the soundtrack and when you know what it actually means it just fits this trope even better.
287* Academy Award nominee [[https://youtu.be/2oSdgIDyl6Q "Baby Mine"]] from the movie ''Dumbo''.
288* Kronk's improvised theme song when he's trying to get rid of Kuzco in ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove''.
289** Amusingly, Kronk's voice actor Patrick Warburton [[ThrowItIn genuinely improvised his humming during recording]], and was then ordered by Disney lawyers to officially sign over the rights to the "song".
290** Sting. Academy Award nominee [[https://youtu.be/OAUZtWQf9kQ My Funny Friend And Me]] is a combination Crowning Music of Awesome and Crowning Music of Heartwarming.
291** And for the best VillainSong to never make it into the final film, have [[https://youtu.be/374xW4zZbZA Snuff Out the Light]], courtesy of Eartha Kitt, Showmanship Goddess.
292* Say what you will about the ''Beauty and the Beast'' sequel ''The Enchanted Christmas'', but some of the songs in that are quite fantastic. First, there's [[https://youtu.be/uC7BsToKKdg Stories]], then the main theme if the film [[https://youtu.be/-kWJvfIOF-M As Long As There's Christmas]] and the VillainSong [[https://youtu.be/k32VKO-YZfk Don't Fall In Love]], the last one is sung by Creator/TimCurry no less.
293* "[[https://youtu.be/pbbj835hg54 Junkyard Society Rag]]" from ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTrampIIScampsAdventure'', just because it's period-appropriate and Disney doesn't usually deal in ragtime.
294* Whatever your opinion on the raging storms of terrifying imagery, Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia 2000}}'' contain some of the most utterly awesome music ever written. Music/IgorStravinsky's ''[[https://youtu.be/A-tBd-Xp5tA Rite]] [[https://youtu.be/w5EmPzi3Oh0 of]] [[https://youtu.be/ldP7D4odaL8 Spring]]'', Music/JohannSebastianBach's [[https://youtu.be/z4MQ7GzE6HY Toccata and Fugue in D Minor]], Modest Mussorgsky's ''[[https://youtu.be/30oxAdib5L4 Night on]] [[https://youtu.be/UEVwpgmlfu4 Bald Mountain]]'', Paul Dukas' ''[[https://youtu.be/mHTnJNGvQcA The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]'', Music/LudwigVanBeethoven's [[https://youtu.be/ihrye2RFGpA Fifth Symphony]], Music/DmitriShostakovich's [[https://youtu.be/_fKyb_J91sM Piano Concerto No. 2]], Music/GeorgeGershwin's ''[[https://youtu.be/8rR367GrFhk Rhapsody in Blue]]''... There's a ''reason'' these old pieces are still played.
295** As anyone who's had to play it knows, the finale of Stravinsky's ''1919 Firebird Suite'' is an absolute ''bitch'' to play because of the changes in meter. It is also epically gorgeous and heroic, as evidenced in its use in ''[[https://youtu.be/rSj6tASyIcw Fantasia 2000]]''.
296* ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective'' is one of the more fondly remembered films from Disney's 1980s dark age, and the songs are one reason for this.
297%%** [[https://youtu.be/e2IctxaCPqw "Let me be good to you!"]]
298%%** [[https://youtu.be/QTPOoEjMGzw "Oh Ratigan! Oh Ratigan! The wooorld's great-est criiiiminal miiiind!"]]
299%%** [[https://youtu.be/yOnG4BzRzPs "Goodbye So Soon!"]]
300* Regardless of whether the lyrics make any sense, [[https://youtu.be/C0AcLdaPIqU "He Mele No Lilo"]] from ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'' is wonderfully catchy, with exactly the right feel to it.
301** [[https://youtu.be/kflzzVzp_vY Wynonna Judd's cover of]] [[Music/ElvisPresley "Burning Love"]] is a fantastic piece of music set to a terrific ending montage.
302** [[https://youtu.be/YjWh2eD8Mgw "Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride"]] is another great one.
303%%** [[https://youtu.be/WraKfeFtOPs "Aloha `Oe"]].
304* ''WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons'' has [[https://youtu.be/jsT2URr1Igc "Little Wonders"]], written by Music/RobThomas from Music/MatchboxTwenty!
305** [[https://youtu.be/a1xaTkFG2oY "Another Believer".]] Rufus at his most whimsical.
306%%** [[https://youtu.be/elpqfRmKnV0 "The Future Has Arrived"]].
307* Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'', the song [[https://youtu.be/ZSS5dEeMX64 I'll Make a Man Out of You]]. It's one of the most ''[[SweetPollyOliver ironic]]'' musical numbers Disney ever made. Plus the lyrics are some of the most stirring and poetic ways to basically say [[Film/{{Rocky}} "I want you to eat lightning, and crap thunder!"]].
308** The English version is notable for the fact that it made Donny Osmond, who performs the song, far more awesome than he could ever hope to be on his own.
309** What makes "I'll Make a Man Out of You" more awesome? When it's sung by [[https://youtu.be/5SLJJc8siyU Jackie Chan in Cantonese!]] Or [[https://youtu.be/d6IYt2qMj1A in Mandarin.]]
310** Then we have [[https://youtu.be/GAG9vh3z2VA this Metal Cover]] from Music/JonathanYoung, making it even more awesome. Also gets away by name-dropping ComicBook/{{Batman}} in the lyrics.
311** "I'll Make a Man Out of You" manages to become even ''more'' awesome [[http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/gurren-lagann-be-a-man-amv/212120 in this video]]. Admittedly, Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann makes anything awesome, but ''damn''.
312** Also "[[https://youtu.be/MilR3Z1sASY Short Hair]]", which plays when Mulan [[ImportantHaircut cuts her hair]] and suits up for war.
313** A short instrumental piece of "Honor to Us All" that plays over the opening titles.
314** And the music that plays as Mulan slides down the lantern rope near the end of the film, and shortly thereafter the [[https://youtu.be/Dhm2ggrtBH8 music]] that plays while the entire population of the Forbidden City bows to her. None of these are on the official soundtrack.
315%%** "[[https://youtu.be/wyt6Emkv3iY True to Your Heart]]".
316** "[[https://youtu.be/qp_-sgX0M0I Reflections]]" packs in soothing and somewhat. melancholic Chinese music perfectly encapsulating Mulan's struggles as she slowly decides to help her ailing father.
317* ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'': "What's this? What's this?" One of the greatest Disney songs ever, that's what it is!
318** There is probably no more awesome way to sing yourself out of a HeroicBSOD than "Poor Jack".
319** "Jack's Lament", "Sally's Song", "Making Christmas", "Jack's Obsession", "Finale Reprise" (especially Jack and Sally's duet), "Jack And Sally Montage", "Christmas Eve Montage", To The Rescue, Overture....aw, screw it, the whole soundtrack is JustForFun/MadeOfWin! Screw ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', Music/DannyElfman is a genius!
320** "Oogie Boogie's Song" features Ken Page's slick vocals backed by swinging jazzy rhythms, perfectly nailing the Boogie Man's menacing mild-mannered demeanour.
321** "Kidnap the Sandy Claws" is a creepy number for three singers who hit every single note on what makes this film just as spooky as it is entertaining backed by harmonies dissonant or not.
322** "This is Halloween" sets the stage for the film and the setting on Halloween Town, while introducing some of its odd residents and why everyone in it likes this place and their leader, Pumpkin King Jack.
323* ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians''' [[https://youtu.be/KcdQk7JBPzQ "Cruella de Vil"]] perfectly describes how evil Ms. Cruella is in a jazzy song with a swinging catchy tune. If that doesn't thrill you, no groovy thing will.
324* ''[[WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverLand Peter Pan 2: Return to Neverland]]'' had the song [[https://youtu.be/PZQEIXn-pko "I'll Try"]]. If you don't cry hearing the pain and loss of childhood Jane's suffering having grown up in UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, you'll cry when the downtrodden tune gets reused and revamped at the end to be an uplifting song about finding something to believe in despite it all.
325* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}''[='=]s Academy Award-winning [[https://youtu.be/qyXnv3-7qSs When You Wish Upon A Star]], which became the signature tune for the Walt Disney Company as a whole. Two other classic examples from the same film would have to be [[https://youtu.be/0B7lSTLJ1b8 Give A Little Whistle]] and [[https://youtu.be/hbcnVkEw75o Hi Diddle Dee Dee (An Actor's Life for Me)]].
326** [[https://youtu.be/P4X1UEVGvwY I've Got No Strings]] is a particularly easily transmissible ear worm.
327* ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}''[='=]s own spiritual successor to When You Wish Upon a Star; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxZG1Rb4sdU A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes]]
328* The music from the ''WesternAnimation/{{Planes}}'' "Take Flight" [[https://youtu.be/Y7prGN78sME teaser]].
329** El Chupacabra's "Love Machine" song.
330** Mark Holman's [[https://youtu.be/-F3DF9qYTuU "Nothing Can Stop Me Now"]] that plays in the film's opening.
331** Franz originally had a cute, catchy polka song, [[https://youtu.be/ScnuGZpfE_c "Ein Crop Duster Can Race"]]. Looks like it was cut for time, which is a pity.
332** [[https://youtu.be/ks3OefuUWI4 The film's main theme]] is an uplifting masterpiece which starts off slow and soothing before transitioning into a grand motive accompanied by stirring drum beats, perfectly encapsulating the sense of flying. Its [[https://youtu.be/K9zizxfuLQ0 second version]] for ''WesternAnimation/PlanesFireAndRescue'' includes a new string section riff to accompany the horns, a crisper bass-line and more backing percussion.
333* [[https://youtu.be/lyHX71Z6M7s Someone's Waiting For You]], an Academy Award nominee from the film, ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers''. Bonus points for also doubling as a TearJerker.
334** Also, [[https://youtu.be/lvoDOHhgaGY Tomorrow is another day.]]
335** [[https://youtu.be/q-PATHhsQqI "The Journey,"]] which played over the opening credits, is hauntingly beautiful and sadly overlooked.
336* The music from ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder'' is pretty cool; for example, the music for [[https://youtu.be/kYeWDfItmsY when Cody is flying on Marahute's back]], and the [[https://youtu.be/Om1bNZnh6nM music in the opening]].
337* ''Film/SongOfTheSouth'' may have fallen victim to UnfortunateImplications but that doesn't mean its songs aren't still catchy. The Academy Award-winning [[https://youtu.be/LcxYwwIL5zQ Zip-a-dee-doo-dah song]] is well known even to people who have no idea where it's from.
338* [[https://youtu.be/z4NNiTrcizg "When Can I See You Again?"]] from ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph''. The [[https://youtu.be/jiSRvGRhrJs End Credits]] make this song even better!
339** [[https://youtu.be/lhsnYkcpl14 S-U-G-AR, jump into your race car, it's a SUGAR RUSH! SUGAR RUSH!]]
340* ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' had its fair share.
341** [[https://youtu.be/NmI9fVrHaf0 "Second Star to the Right",]] the opening song, introduces us to Peter's {{Leitmotif}}, as well as some truly beautiful lyrics and melodies that perfectly capture Neverland.
342** [[https://youtu.be/q_F5Xc8tLe0 "You Can Fly"]] is adventurous and joyful, much like the film itself. Tellingly, it's the only song to get a full reprise.
343** [[https://youtu.be/XNwhwwuRnB0 The Crocodile's]] {{Leitmotif}}, which had lyrics as a CutSong, "Never Smile At a Crocodile". Even without the ticking, it sounds like you'd expect a crocodile to sound.
344* ''WesternAnimation/MickeysTwiceUponAChristmas'' has the upbeat [[https://youtu.be/tK5zaorbZrE "Make Me Look Good"]] and the beautiful credits theme [[https://youtu.be/H8qMISasndg "Share This Day"]].
345* ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}''[='=]s "Try Everything" by Music/{{Shakira}} serves a strong message to set the tone for the movie in accompaniment to the SceneryPorn as Judy rides into town.
346* [[https://youtu.be/YW1rvhUr3XQ The overture]] for ''Film/PetesDragon1977'' is just irresistible to listen to.
347* The ''Film/{{Tron}}'' franchise, a TropeCodifier for CyberpunkIsTechno. Start off with Music/WendyCarlos, who put electronic music on the map in the first place. [[https://youtu.be/OIM8RxaK5rE Follow it up]] with [[Music/DaftPunk a pair of eccentric, Grammy-winning Frenchmen]] for the [[Film/TronLegacy sequel]], and an entire remix album ([[https://youtu.be/DN3Y5ylc48E TRON Legacy R3CONF1GUR3D]]) of top EDM artists with their own take on the soundtrack. Mix in Joseph Trapanese's [[https://youtu.be/LkK35ZcEZgc ominous]] [[https://youtu.be/g5A83fXUikc score]] for the [[WesternAnimation/TronUprising animated series]]. Add a [[https://youtu.be/Byp9gZlOc7E few]] [[https://youtu.be/NxztxglUxK4 shots]] [[https://youtu.be/LatorN4P9aA of]] Music/{{Journey|Band}} to wash it all down. And since this this franchise also has SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames, we get a [[https://youtu.be/_eSSgwK7ga4 wonderful score]] for ''VideoGame/TronEvolution'' and [[https://youtu.be/jXEEGNRRVl4 the love letter to Wendy Carlos]] with the soundtrack to ''VideoGame/TronTwoPointOh''.
348* [[https://youtu.be/B8shomTTwS8 This]] triumphant orchestral remix of "Heigh-Ho", used for the 1993 re-issue trailer for ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''.
349
350[[AC:Disney TV]]
351* The [[https://youtu.be/u9Lae8Ln0Xw Theme Song]] for ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers''. There's also another short piece of music used in a chase sequence that's really awesome. But speaking of that theme [[https://youtu.be/JQKeboyd09I The Swedish version is pretty awesome too]].
352** [[https://youtu.be/Y3Ek9VjGcgY Feel the fizz of Coo-Coo Cola!]]
353* ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck''[='=]s [[https://youtu.be/375ENQbru8s theme song]] does a first-rate job of conveying just how awesome the title character can be [[LetsGetDangerous when the situation requires it]]. And it's so catchy, [[EarWorm even villainous characters get it stuck in their head]]!
354** [[https://youtu.be/aT33uhX4P7I GO DARKWING GO DARKWING GO!]]
355%%** From the same show there's [[https://youtu.be/zuZrZ1tC_2k this song,]] which is definitely one of Darkwing's best moments.
356%%And without a title, there's absolutely no way to find a replacement if the video goes down. Do not uncomment this example without adding a title and giving enough context that a replacement can be found if the video is removed.
357* The intro theme to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcHRqryP-oA D-TV]] (which was a series of music videos using footage from Disney shorts and movies made for Creator/DisneyChannel back in the day). Does the song scream [[TheEighties 1980's]]? Yeah. Is it still awesome? '''Yeah.''' There's a full length version of the song (actually a stock track, "RPM" by Network Music) [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEi6baWBIoo here]].
358* [[https://youtu.be/6LMLYrXoBeE What do to? Just grab on to some]] ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|1987}}''! Woo-hoo!
359** The [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017 reboot's]] [[https://youtu.be/greRWnaQWc4 version]] by Felicia Barton takes the already great and catchy theme and takes it to a whole new level.
360** Special mention goes to Ron Jones' ''excellent'' score for the series. Several pieces he composed are suspenseful, melancholic, amusing, exciting, and triumphant; they even rival some theatrical scores. [[https://youtu.be/VtdIZU7FYtk Here's a sample]].
361** [[https://youtu.be/cJW5n8f0Z9o The reboot]] remixes the [[VideoGame/DuckTales NES game's]] moon theme into being Della Duck's theme song.
362* The opening music for ''WesternAnimation/{{Fillmore}}'' is a perfect fit for what can best be described as a kid-friendly homage to 70's cop shows.
363* The [[https://youtu.be/OjA443qGvh8 opening theme]] to ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''. Especially with the [[https://youtu.be/otCWl8uJenA Keith David voiceover]]. Too bad that was just about the only piece of music used (admittedly they managed to make several different really cool versions).
364* We're the [[https://youtu.be/iqE74c54Nfc Goof Troop]], and we always stick together!
365* The ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' generally has a musical number every few episodes, usually a new spin on a classic Disney tune, including the single greatest rendition of [[https://youtu.be/zCy258R2afA "Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf?"]] ever made.
366-->'''Big Bad Wolf Daddy:''' "I love to bring down the house!"
367** Also, their take on "[[https://youtu.be/Z-av7xd2Llk Grim Grinning Ghosts]]".
368** [[https://youtu.be/IZ1xw0Mfubg "It's Our House Now"]] is also pretty good. Interestingly, it's undergone a bit of MemeticMutation with Website/YouTube users adding other villains to the song.
369** Ludwig von Drake explains [[https://youtu.be/CA7JNaq0EEM where everyone sits]]. It's undergone a fad similar to "It's Our House Now" where Website/YouTube users add other characters to the song.
370* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''. Best [[https://youtu.be/GIgLqN_rAXU theme song]] ever. And it only got better when TheMovie [[https://youtu.be/vQH0N89JToc remixed it]].
371** Drakken's VillainSong [[https://youtu.be/gVewEox6GBg Lather, Rinse And Obey]]. BEST RAP EVER!
372** And from the [[https://youtu.be/G6scHgACSD0 same episode]], "[[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Naked Mole Rap]]"!
373** [[https://youtu.be/QeikzHiuFzQ "Could It Be"]], especially [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend in context]].
374** [[https://youtu.be/yxeaPbskcQw "Say The Word".]]
375* [[https://youtu.be/jsUm5WFDJtw Aloha, E Komo Mai]], the theme of ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries''.
376* [[https://youtu.be/ORCd8thA7N4 Oh What A Merry Christmas Day]] from ''WesternAnimation/MickeysChristmasCarol''. A truly heartwarming tune to both open and finish the special on a high note. It is so awesome that WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd remixed it into his theme tune for the ''Angry Nerd Christmas Carol'', which is also awesome.
377* The ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'' theme song, truly catchy. "PEPPER ANN, SHE'S LIKE ONE [[https://youtu.be/wE1aBK9GGhI IN A MILLION!]]
378* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'' [[https://youtu.be/zObiglKZKZc theme song]].
379%%* SRMTHG: The music played at the very end of the first season finale, and all variations on it. Also, the music played when Antauri first appears as the Silver Monkey, and all variations on that. Hands down.
380%%Don't use acronyms for series titles. Do not uncomment this entry without at least including the full series title.
381* As long as we're on WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon themes... [[https://youtu.be/AM94EFNizOY Spin it!]]
382** The extended has ''drum and flute solos,'' making the already awesome song even better.
383** The theme to WesternAnimation/TheDisneyAfternoon block ''[[https://youtu.be/2ku7PQadlR8 itself]]''. Or even the [[https://youtu.be/xzIHLu9Zckk extended]] and [[https://youtu.be/WqI2QQO1yYI closing]] versions.
384* The awesome, sports anthem-esque intro from the underloved ''WesternAnimation/MightyDucksTheAnimatedSeries'' cartoon. [[https://youtu.be/mYwlXRVWCCI Let's hear it for the Mighty Ducks!]]
385* [[https://youtu.be/xINuHsbRYZE The theme]] for ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh''. People can hate the original ''Winnie the Pooh'' theme from the movies and ''still'' find this song awesome.
386* The [[https://youtu.be/lFwrF-SRu7s theme song]] for ''WesternAnimation/TheWeekenders''. Bonus points for being sung by Creator/WayneBrady.
387* [[https://youtu.be/IwAhDyN899c Hakuna Matata! Timon]] [[WesternAnimation/TimonAndPumbaa And Pumbaa]]. The original version earned an Academy Award nomination.
388* [[https://youtu.be/atHUYWL1eIU Five hours of summer, once a week!]] Creator/OneSaturdayMorning!
389* [[https://youtu.be/gwN5HLiZ7_o Yip-a-dit-a-dit-doo,]] ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder!''
390* Both the [[https://youtu.be/kDoWhMt2_gs opening]] and [[https://youtu.be/6atapgXmMzU ending]] themes of ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil''.
391* All of the theme songs from Creator/DisneyChannel's sitcom lineup can count here, with particular mention to [[https://youtu.be/Sz74lgA4qAc The Best of Both Worlds]] for becoming so iconic amongst the kids that grew up watching ''Series/HannahMontana''.
392* [[https://youtu.be/pgIfUlT-W4Q The inexplicably rockin' theme song]] to ''WesternAnimation/JoJosCircus'', performed by the short-lived GarageRock group Becky. Creator/KeanuReeves [[https://ew.com/article/2003/10/17/new-band-becky-real-world-keanu/ was on bass]].
393
394[[AC:VideoGames]]
395* ''VideoGame/TheNightmareBeforeChristmasOogiesRevenge'' is chock full of these. Special mention goes to [[https://youtu.be/6x26rofHoMM CasinoCrash,]] a great remix of "[[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas The]] [[VillainSong Oogie Boogie Song]]". It's also a duet between Jack and Oogie.
396** [[https://youtu.be/KuX56IKqC-I This town has changed my boy, since you've been]] [[VillainSong away]].
397* ''VideoGame/DuckTales'' brings us to the Moon in [[https://youtu.be/KF32DRg9opA an awesome way]]. The Remastered remake also has a number of amazing songs, such as [[https://youtu.be/_C-EuHUNmnU the final battle]] and [[https://youtu.be/V5d_YDtHRrU escaping Mount Vesuvius]].
398* ''VideoGame/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' has us storming Fat Cat's Factory to a [[https://youtu.be/07lGszG7mL8 tune]] that ranks right up there with VideoGame/{{Mega Man|Classic}} storming a [[VideoGame/MegaMan2 few]] [[VideoGame/MegaMan3 Dr. Wily]] castles. The sequel's [[https://youtu.be/RMPSKuRKSec own version]] is just as good.
399* ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution: Disney Mix'' contains [[https://youtu.be/Vi-VV01QYPY a certain remix of "It's a Small World"]], turning what's largely considered one of the most annoying songs in theme park history into a catchy, techno-inspired song. ''Dance Dance Revolution: Disney Grooves'' [[https://youtu.be/1T9KG8ZHx-0 makes lightning strike twice]] with another "It's a Small World" remix. This time incorporating the iconic lyrics, covered by Alison Wade.
400
401[[AC:ThemeParks]]
402* [[Ride/CarouselOfProgress There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow,]] [[https://youtu.be/WqBkBxJy470 shining at the end of every day...]] One of the most [[TheFutureWillBeBetter positive and optimistic songs regarding the future]] ever written, the Sherman brothers apparently regarded this anthem as a personal ode to Walt. The power of this song is such that it frequently appears in unexpected places. [[https://youtu.be/9yjlQXQAvrg Here it is]] on the ''Film/{{Tomorrowland}}'' soundtrack and [[https://youtu.be/foVDae0BpqI here]] is a cover by Music/TheyMightBeGiants which can be found on the ''WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons'' soundtrack.
403* [[https://youtu.be/hWTdd8EKo3Y The Main Street Electrical Parade]] is this for many people. From the vocoder used on the voice at the beginning, to Baroque Hoedown playing throughout, which gets remixed to different songs as the parade progresses. Each park even has [[https://youtu.be/sIwQsCZQktA their own set of remixes that play]].

408* ''Mickey Mouse Splashdance'' is an album from 1983 that features 1980s-style pop songs with Mickey and his friends. As cheesy and outdated as the album is nowadays, there are some songs on it that are still pretty catchy:
409** "Happy, Happy Birthday to You" is an enjoyable birthday song with fun lyrics and a catchy chorus. Creator/TrevorNoah grew up with this song, and still prefers it over the traditional Birthday song.
410** "Minnie Mouse" is a song performed by LA-based rock band Sparks. It is rumored that some of the people who worked on the song would later join Music/{{Devo}}, and the song does have a slightly Devo-esque sound to it.
