8	* The [[https://youtu.be/hHyC100Wm88 opening/end credits]] music.
9	* While the songs in the sequel may not be near as memorable as the songs in the original, the song "For a Moment", a SoloDuet between Melody and Ariel, proves to be quite a feel-good standout, especially since Creator/TaraStrong really demonstrates her amazing singing talent.
10	* [[VillainSong Ursula's song]] "[[https://youtu.be/Gi58pN8W3hY Poor Unfortunate Souls]]" was the most breathtaking, show-stealing moment of ''The Little Mermaid''. Not to mention the sheer awesomeness that is her EvilLaugh. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzNLJOEBU_E French version]] is incredible too, thanks to Creator/MichelineDax's performance. [[https://youtu.be/UfREnHzbwX8 Howard Ashman's demo]] is more epic because of Howard singing Creator/TimCurry [[EvilIsHammy Style]] and some great vocal inflections.
11	* "[[https://youtu.be/GC_mV1IpjWA Under The Sea]]", the musical number that firmly announced that Disney animation, after years of cultural near-irrelevance, was ''back''. Not only that, but "Under the Sea" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
12	* "[[https://youtu.be/SXKlJuO07eM Part of Your World]]" and its [[https://youtu.be/5Keal_UfT6o reprise]] mean ''so'' many things to ''so'' many people.
13	* [[https://youtu.be/EcyhVHrmlMU Les Poissons]] is [[VillainSong sinister]], catchy as hell, and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilarious]] all at the same time.
14	* [[https://youtu.be/TrRbB-qUJfY "Kiss the Girl"]] is not only fantastically memorable, it's also one of the most unique love songs in the entire Disney canon thanks to Sebastian's Caribbean-esque arrangement, making it a totally different style of romantic from most of the more traditionally orchestral love songs heard in their other movies.
15	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVO0aC_syaY Destruction of the Grotto.]] It begins with a hard MoodWhiplash from happy innocence to dumbstruck fear, and the music, symbolizing Triton's TranquilFury, only grows in intensity before exploding into a piece of heart-stopping terror. In the Broadway musical, its replacement ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWT6YubGbC0 "The World Above Reprise"]]) is an epic and emotional yet brief song for Triton--probably one of the only times he sang.

22	* The singing that Ariel does when Ursula takes her voice - and then uses to seduce Eric. It sounds like a real-life version of Siren song. And it becomes even ''more'' awesome when the shell breaks and Ariel gets her voice back.
23	* From the ScreenToStageAdaptation:
24	** Ariel gets a wondrous Act I opener in the form of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQuRFspeF7I "The World Above"]], which leads into an extended version of "Fathoms Below".
25	** The revised production gives Ursula a new introductory VillainSong, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6QH6OiaWcw "Daddy's Little Angel"]], which tells her StartOfDarkness backstory and her revenge plot against Triton and his daughters.
26	** Ariel's sisters sing the Motown-style number [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJI-r3SEyQg "She's in Love"]] following her rescue of Eric.
27	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I8fpGo0xIM "Her Voice"]] is Eric's answer to "Part of Your World".
28	** Scuttle and the gulls have the catchy tapdance number "Positoovity" as Ariel learns to walk as a human.
29	** Ariel's InnerMonologue song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trY707QMOtM "Beyond My Wildest Dreams"]] describes her astonishment with the human world.
30	** In Eric's "One Step Closer", the mute Ariel learns dancing as a language.
31	** TheElevenOClockNumber "If Only" is a Distant Quartet where Ariel, Eric, Triton, and Sebastian lament their inability to communicate their desires to one another.
32	** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APdDLNpeztw Finale Ultimo]], following a TriumphantReprise of "If Only", gives us a glorious ''extended'' triumphant reprise of "Part of Your World".
33
34	!!''Sebastian's Caribbean Jamboree'' and ''Sebastian's Party Gras''
35	* Both of these movies have some excellent covers of famous songs such as "Three Little Birds" and "Hot Hot Hot". You can tell Samuel E. Wright [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct legitimately had a good time singing in them]]. No wonder Sebastian just wanted to write songs in the first movie.
