3	''Stay Awake'' (officially known as ''Stay Awake: Various Interpretations of Music from Vintage Disney Films'') is a 1988 multi-artist CoverAlbum featuring popular songsters of the day performing classic songs from the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon. Produced by Hal Willner, the album is perhaps best known for Music/TomWaits' [[NightmareFuel creepy as hell]] cover of [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs "Heigh Ho"]], which was later reissued on his rarities collection ''Music/OrphansBrawlersBawlersAndBastards''. Expect TheCoverChangesTheMeaning to be in play here.

Also see the ''We Love Disney'' albums, which involve 2010s singing stars (from France, Indonesia, Australia and the USA) performing Disney hits, often (in the case of the French and Indonesian versions) {{translated cover version}}s.

37	!!Tropes in this album included in the disc:
38	* AvantGardeMusic: Some musical interpretations border to the experimental, like Music/TomWaits and Music/SunRa's covers.
39	* CoverAlbum: All tracks are Disney covers.
40	* TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: Most notably, the Music/TomWaits cover of ''Heigh Ho'' turns it from a chipper work song into something decidedly more depressing, if not nightmarish. As for the backing track, a reviewer compared it to "noises from Gacy's basement."
41	** There's also Music/SineadOConnor's ''very'' cynical-sounding "Someday My Prince Will Come."
42	* CultSoundtrack: All the songs are lifted from Disney's animated feature films and/or live-action films.
43	* DarkerAndEdgier: Many of the cuts compared to their original versions.
44	* DisneyAcidSequence: The TropeMaker song is covered by Music/SunRa.
45	* {{Homage}}: All the music is a homage to the Disney films in which they appeared for the first time.
46	* {{Jazz}}: Some songs are performed in a crooning version or a jazz instrumental.
47	* VillainLoveSong: Buster Poindexter covers one, "Castles In Spain", for this album.
