As some of bạn might be able to tell, I have been in a very musical mood lately. Along those themes, I wanted to make 2 âm nhạc countdowns: 1 for Songs and 1 for Scores. I tình yêu Disney's music, especially from the team of Alan Menken & Howard Ashman. I almost never like covers of DP songs bởi Disney Pop stars so unless otherwise mentioned, all versions here are the original ones from the film. Here are my rankings for yêu thích songs:

Honorary Mentions:
With A Smile & A Song - Snow White & The 7 Dwarfs (So positive and uplifting plus an excellent message.) "There's no use in grumbling When the raindrops come tumbling Remember, you're the one Who can fill the world with sunshine When bạn smile and bạn sing."
Dig A Little Deeper - The Princess & The Frog (So genuine and upbeat plus an excellent message.) "Don't matter what bạn look like. Don't matter what bạn wear. How many rings bạn got on your finger, We don't care. Don't matter where bạn come from. Don't even matter what bạn are"

20. I'll Make A Man Out Of bạn - Mulan
I tình yêu how this is such a great little masculine song thrown into a DP film! I think it was an excellent diverse song from the lovely thêm feminine songs. I think the lyrics are great and they often will get stuck in my head.


19. Poor Unfortunate Souls- The Little Mermaid
This has always been such a great villain song to me. I tình yêu the way Ursula delivers it as well as the specific words she chooses. (She reminds me a lot of my ex-Stepmom, especially when she sings this song.) This song really shows off how villainous and manipulative Ursula is.


18. Whistle While bạn Work- Snow White & The 7 Dwarfs
I tình yêu how this song shows Snow White's positive and genuine nature. I have heard her described as "manipulative" but I don't see that at all, I think she's a very good and decent person who does not try to exploit others to get what she wants. (Her plea for help to the Dwarfs was simply that, a plea from a 14-ish? năm old maiden who knew that was the safest place for her and she offered to do her part to stay.) Whenever I am cleaning myself, I always tend to hear this song. Work has to be done and it's best done with a positive attitude.


17. Almost There- The Princess & The Frog
I tình yêu Tiana's confidence in this song, towards her goal to open up her own restaurant. I love, respect and admire the fact that she doesn't just expect things to fall into her lap, she is willing to do the work to reach her goal. She doesn't let "trials and tribulations" bring her down because she is stronger than that and chooses not to be a victim. I also tình yêu the fact that she stands out in her town. She describes the people in New Orleans as being thêm laid back and easy going, as mentioned in the line "This old town can slow bạn down, people taking the easy way But I know exactly where I'm going, I'm getting closer and closer every day." This determination and ambitious spirit is displayed beautifully in this song and I tình yêu the nod to her father in it as well.


16. Something There- Beauty & The Beast
I tình yêu how this song shows Belle & the beast starting to fall in love. It's so sweet and sincere. I think it also very accurately shows how true tình yêu plays out from a budding friendship. At some point bạn just realize that there's "something there" that's thêm than friendship, the chemistry becomes undeniable. The initial judgments/perceptions are gone and a tình yêu has started to develop in it's place.


15. For The First Time In Forever Reprise - Frozen
It's been noted many times on this site but it's worth mentioning again, this song does such a beautiful job at hiển thị the contrast and dynamic between Elsa & Anna. Their voices blend beautifully together. This song gets stuck in my head often!


14. Belle - Beauty & The Beast
I tình yêu this entire song! I tình yêu all of the lyrics and I tình yêu how well it explains so much about Belle's character. The fact that she went through hardship, that she is misunderstood, that she finds solace in reading, that she has big dreams for herself, and that she is a classic beauty in her town yet doesn't use it to her advantage hoặc rely on it to exploit others. I even tình yêu all of the lyrics sung bởi various townspeople in it!


13. A Girl Worth Fighting For - Mulan
I tình yêu how flattering this song is! These men are marching off into war to face some cruel and merciless enemies and protect everyone in their country and the only thing they hope for in return is to find a girl, a love, who makes it all worth it. Some say this song is not romantic at all but I completely disagree. Although I am a woman, I think this song coming from men and their point of view is incredibly romantic. They are willing to face almost certain death with the hopes that a woman will tình yêu them, appreciate them and respect them for all of their hard work and effort to keep them going. Plus, what they ask for is no where near unreasonable (specific beauty traits, appreciation of battle scars, cooks well, praise and adoration and laughs at his jokes). They also don't just want a girl bởi force hoặc circumstance, they want to impress and woo her. I love, appreciate and respect this song. I also appreciate and respect the horrible things that lots of males willingly choose to face as well as their uncanny protection and accommodation for females and children (usually strangers) so that they don't have to deal with the "ugly work". I also tình yêu that the song ends abruptly with the reality of exactly why it is these men need these kinds of hopes, for the horrible things they do face and deal with. Catchy too.


12. Part Of Your World/Reprise - The Little Mermaid
I tình yêu how beautiful and emotional Ariel's voice is in this. It's kind of heartbreaking for me. She sounds so sincere, so passionate with such longing. I think this song is just gorgeous, musically and vocally. This scene/song usually makes me cry because of Ariel's conviction and how gorgeous the song is musically.


11. I Wonder - Sleeping Beauty
I tình yêu how gorgeous Aurora's voice sounds. I also tình yêu how this song represents Aurora's docile and innocent nature as well as her romantic and idealistic personality. She is so pure and graceful and I think it really comes through in this song. The only way she knows of finding tình yêu is the same way as the birds: Through song.


10. Let It Go - Frozen
Yes, I tình yêu this song. I think the âm nhạc is very beautiful and I tình yêu the actress' voice in it. I've never really liked the song "Reflection" from Mulan but I'm pretty sure I tình yêu this song for the same reason others tình yêu that song. I think it's beautifully passionate and earnest, albeit not smartly written. As a song on it's own, I completely understand why it was such a big hit as it immediately stuck with me the first time I saw Frozen. As far as the film goes though, there are definite inconsistencies with the lyrics here and the film's story.


9. Listen With Your tim, trái tim - Pocahontas
I tend to try to find a balance between head and tim, trái tim but that aside, I tình yêu this song. I find it to be so incredibly soothing. The few lyrics that are here are beautiful as well.


8. If I Never Knew bạn - Pocahontas
I don't know why, and maybe someone could clear this up for me, but I remember this song being in the movie and playing when Pocahontas goes to see John Smith while he is being held captive. That was when I watched in on VHS as a child though. Now when I see the movie on Blu-Ray, it's not played until the credits. I do tình yêu the version at the end with the credits though bởi Jon Secada and Shanice, I think it's done beautifully. Anyways, I always thought this was one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life, especially lyrically. This song really shows the power and beauty of love; how fragile and precious it is. Definitely this song makes me cry every single time I hear it nowadays because it's so beautiful. Perhaps because I feel the same way about my husband. There's a saying that "It's better to have loved and Mất tích then to have not known tình yêu at all" and I think this song embodies that perfectly. link


7. Belle Reprise - Beauty & The Beast
It's very short but I absolutely tình yêu and adore it. I can't get enough, it is stuck in my head all of the time. I tình yêu how it's distilled to the core of what Belle wants: Adventure away from here thêm than anything else. It reminds me of the song "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" bởi The Animals. I tình yêu the concept behind this song.


6. So This Is Love
This stuck always stuck out the most to me from Cinderella, even as a child. It was so beautiful and romantic as well as so pure and innocent. I tình yêu the way it accurately resembles love. It accurately represents tình yêu to be transcending and heavenly. Definitely will always be a beautiful and heartwarming classic for me.


5. Mother Knows Best - Tangled
This song has been growing on me ever since the first time I heard it! I tình yêu it so much as I can really relate to it. I think this song perfectly captures the manipulation and deceit of Mother Gothel. I tình yêu how Mother Gothel plays the "Merchant of Doubt" bởi saying things like "One way hoặc another Something will go wrong, I swear" she uses the line "Me, I'm just your mother what do I know? I only bathed and changed and nursed you" hiển thị how ridiculously manipulative she is. None of that stuff means anything because that's her job yet she's trying to make Rapunzel feel indebted to her for being alive. Personally, this song reminds me of my actual mother and it really captures her villainous spirit (and she is similar to Mother Gothel) so I find this song to be brilliantly realistic and accurate.


4. A Whole New World - Aladdin
My all-time yêu thích Disney duet! I have always loved this song since I first heard it as a little girl and still find it to be such a romantic and magical feeling song. I tình yêu the way it describes young tình yêu to be so exciting and full of adventure and mystery. I think it's so beautiful. This is also one of my yêu thích hoa nhài scenes where she finally stops being a shrew for a một phút (until the song is over) and just lets herself be happy.


3. Honor To Us All - Mulan
I rank this so highly because I catch myself hát it all the time! I think it is so cute and catchy! I also tình yêu the dynamic it shows between Mulan and her mother. I also tình yêu the "recipe for instant bride" and find it to be fairly accurate. I also tình yêu that it does mostly match up with what the men say they want from women. I just feel like women don't really understand men as well as they used to and I don't think enough mothers give their daughters honest and straight-forward Lời khuyên despite what feelings it may trigger like they used to. I tình yêu that Mulan's mother does this for her in this song though. I have the highest respect and appreciation for good mothers and wives so I personally really respect and appreciate this song and the way it holds that role in such high esteem. I see children as the future so I think good parenting is absolutely prime and necessary; One of the most important jobs in society. I still value families as they are still the best environment for children growing up and I tình yêu how this song speaks to that.


2. Once Upon A Dream - Sleeping Beauty I tình yêu classical âm nhạc and I absolutely tình yêu Tchaikovsky! Ever since I was a little girl I always liked classical âm nhạc and I loved this song. It always feels like a dream, sweeping me off my feet and making me want to do Piqué turns etc. all over the room. It certainly sweeps me off my feet and I can definitely see why it swept Aurora off of hers as well. It embodies grace and beauty to me.


1. Part Of That World - The Little Mermaid Nostalgia, nostalgia. Not just for the film but for when I felt just like Ariel and I was "ready to know what the people know, ask them my các câu hỏi and get some answers". I always wanted to explore and learn new things and have been very curious about other cultures. I think the concept behind this song is so beautiful and inspiring. I also think Ariel's voice is so powerful and feminine at the same time, sometimes it gives me ngỗng bumps. I adore Ariel's voice completely, it's so gorgeous. I think the âm nhạc behind the song is equally gorgeous. A timeless classic that I sing/listen to often.
