You guys, it's fanmix-challenge time over in
themiddleearth and while talking with
narniacmr Disney-Songs came up. And I basically started out from Sam and Frodo duet-ing on A Whole New World and... yeah. I just couldn't stop, because it is the most awesome crack that ever cracked. Or that I ever cracked. Thinking this up certainly put a smile or two on my face, and I hope reading this will do the same for you. :)
Anyways, here are 21 Songs and 4 Bonus-tracks. Sadly no downloads, as I don't actually have (all of) them, so youtube-clips will have to do.
1. The Elves - Circle of Life (The Lion King)
youtubeIt's the circle of life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the circle
The circle of life
And we begin our tale with... Elves. Who else would sing this iconic song, but them. Plus I have way too few elf-songs later on.
2. Bilbo & Frodo - Belle's Song (The Beauty and the Beast)
youtubeLittle town
It's a quiet village
Ev'ry day
Like the one before
Little town
Full of little people
...
Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar
I wonder if she's feeling well
With a dreamy far-off look
And her nose stuck in a book
What a puzzle to the rest of us
And with this we're in Hobbiton, watching the Bagginses make their rounds and the rest of the hobbitses watching them, because they're the odd hobbits who like *adventures* and reading.
3. Merry & Pippin - Best Friends (The Fox & The Hound)
youtubeWhen you're the best of friends
Having so much fun together
You're not even aware, you're such a funny pair
You're the best of friends
This shows Mer and Pip before they followed Frodo out into the rest of Middle Earth, when they still kids, who couldn't care less and just had fun.
4. Bilbo - You're Never Too Old To Be Young(Snow White)
(I didn't find a vid of this, as it was never animated and apparently was only on some laserdisc.)
Though your teeth are out
And your whiskers sprout
And your arches give away
You're never too old to be young and gay
Bilbo leaves Hobbiton to go on his last great adventure.
5. Gandalf - The Gospel Truth II(Hercules)
youtubeIf there's one God you don't want to get steamed up
It's Hades, cause he had an evil plan
He ran the Underworld
But thought the dead were dull and uncouth
He was as mean as he was ruthless
And that's the gospel truth
He had a plan to shake things up
And that's the gospel truth
Gandalf tells Frodo about the Ring and its master.
6. Frodo & Sam - A Whole New World (Aladdin)
youtubeI can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
Frodo & Sam set out from Bagend and Frodo shows Sam a world he'd never been in outside of the Shire.
7. The Hobbits - That's What Friends Are For (The Jungle Book)
youtubeAnd when you're lost in dire need
Who's at your side at lightning speed?
We're friends of every creature
Comin' down the pike
In fact we never met an animal
We didn't like, didn't like
This is about how Merry, Pippin and Sam would follow Frodo anywhere, even Mt. Doom.
8. Aragorn & The Hobbits - The Bare Necessities (The Jungle Book)
youtubeLook for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life
Aragorn doesn't know about Elevensies and their rations are sparse.
9. Aragorn - Some day My Prince Will Come(Snow White)
youtubeSome day when spring is here
We'll find our love anew
And the birds will sing
And wedding bells will ring
Some day when my dreams come true
... or princess. Aragorn and Arwen can't be together (yet) and Viggo Mortensen likes to sing... I mean Aragorn... uhm.
10. Gollum & The Ring - Goodbye May Seem Forever (The Fox & The Hound)
youtubeWe met, it seems, such a short time ago
You looked at me - needing me so
Yet from your sadness
Our happiness grew
And I found out I needed you too
I remember how we used to play
The Ring and Gollum used to have fun but filthy hobbitses stole it.
11. Eowyn - Reflection (Mulan)
youtubeWho is that girl I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am
Though I've tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
Eowyn is looking for her place in the world, as it can't just be that of arm-decoration to her future husband.
12.Saruman - Be Prepared(The Lion King)
youtubeIt's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares
So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
Saruman is mustering his army.
13. Gollum/Smeagol - I've Got No Strings (Pinocchio)
youtubeI've got no strings
To hold me down
To make me fret, or make me frown
I had strings
But now I'm free
There are no strings on me
Smeagol resurfaces when he's around Frodo.
14. Sam - Music In Your Soup(Snow White)
youtubeWith a spoon and a bowl
With the music in your soul
You can cheer things up with the zub, zub, zub
Of the music in your doup
Soup and Sam - do I need to explain this?
15. The Gondorian Choir - The Phony King of England(Robin Hood)
youtubeWhile bonny good King Richard leads
The great crusade he's on
We'll all have to slave away
For that good-for-nothin' John
Denethor is not the king and is going crazier by the second and sends his army out on suicide-missions, while Aragorn is away unting with a dwarf and an elf.
16. Osgiliath's Minstrels - Not in NottinghamOsgiliath(Robin Hood)
youtubeEvery town
Has its ups and down
Sometime ups
Outnumber the downs
But not in NottinghamOsgiliath
I'm inclined to believe
If we were so down
We'd up and leave
We'd up and fly if we had wings for flyin'
Can't you see the tears we're cryin'?
Can't there be some happiness for me?
Not in NottinghamOsgiliath
Times are dire in Osgiliath.
17. Merry & Pippin - I wanna Be Like You (The Jungle Book)
youtubeI wanna be a man, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!
Merry and Pippin want to fit in in Rohan and Gondor respectively.
18. Sauron's Army Choir - Colonel Hathi's March(The Jungle Book)
youtubeOh, we march from here to there
And it doesn't matter where
You can hear us push
Through the deepest bush
With a military air!
With a military air!
The army is marching on Minas Tirith.
19. Gollum - Trust In Me(The Jungle Book)
youtubeTrust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me
You can sleep safe and sound
Knowing I am around
Slip into silent slumber
Sail on a silver mist
Slowly and surely your senses
Will cease to resist
Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me
Gollum is back and lures Frodo up Cirith Ungol.
20. Frodo - Give A Little Whistle(Pinocchio)
youtubeTake the straight and narrow path
And if you start to slide
Give a little whistle! Give a little whistle!
And always let your conscience be your guide
Frodo is starting to struggle and... oh what do I know...
21. Sam - Home Is Where Your Heart Is (Tale Spin)
youtubeHome is where the heart is
Whereever you may be
There'll always be a home for you
Here inside of me
I need a good Sam/Frodo song for the end of this, but I kinda found nothing and then I found this and though... oh, why not, let's go with the Slash.
22. Aragorn & Arwen - Love (Robin Hood)
youtubeOnce we watched a lazy world go by
Now the days seem to fly
Life is brief, but when it's gone
Love goes on and on
Love will live
Love will last
Love goes on and on and on
A nice cheesy song to end all of this.
And now for even more crack....
1. Legolas - Just Around the Riverbend(Pocahontas)
youtubeI feel it there beyond those trees
Or right behind these waterfalls
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming
For a handsome sturdy husband
Who builds handsome sturdy walls
And never dreams that something might be coming?
Just around the riverbend
Just around the riverbend
Our pretty princeling wants to find someone inappropriate.
2. Gimli & The Dwarves - Heigh-Ho(Snow White)
youtubeWe dig dig dig dig dig dig dig from early morn till night
We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig up everything in sight
We dig up diamonds by the score
A thousand rubies, sometimes more
But we don't know what we dig 'em for
We dig dig dig a-dig dig
Gimli is a dwarf... he really is.
3. Legolas - Colours of the Wind(Pocahontas)
youtubeHave you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Legolas shows Gimli the wonders of nature.
(I love this song. The Pocahontas OST was the first CD I ever got.)
4. Legolas & Gimli - If I Never Knew You (Pocahontas)
youtubeIf I never knew you
If I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of
How precious life can be
Legolas and Gimli do some inappropriate things and bring their nations closer together... uhm.
