-The Little Mermaid live action film will update 2 key songs in TLM: Kiss the Girl and Poor Unfortunate Souls
-Kiss the Girl will change lyrics that some may see as Prince Eric forcing himself upon Ariel. The lyrics most likely refrain to: "Yes, you want her. Look at her, you know you do. Possible she want you too, there is one way to ask her. It don't take a word, not a single word. Go on a kiss the girl"
-Poor Unfortunate Souls will change lyrics that may some may see as Ursula telling young girls not to speak out of turn. The lyrics most likely are: The men up there don't like a lot of blabber. They think a girl who gossips is a bore! Yet on land it's much prefered for ladies not to say a word. But they dote and swoon and fawn. On a lady who's withdrawn. It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man
