In The Jungle

Here’s a much discussed question I thought I’d share with the world: How many Disney Songs can you sing with minimal fudging of words? This is an especially good question to pose if you then ask the person to prove that they know what they’re talking about. Putting my money where my mouth is, here is my list of songs I claim to know.

  • Aladdin, A Whole New World: This is one of those songs where you sing the tiny bit of the verse that you know and then jump to chorus where you just get stuck and it goes round and round and round. I’m not sure I even know any of the verse here, but so what: “A whole new world, a new fantastic point of view, and there’s a shooting star, climbing far, waiting for, something something something… A WHOLE NEW WORLD… (and repeat until tired / beaten up)”
  • The Lion King, pretty much the entire score: I don’t feel that I need to prove to anyone that I know the entire score to The Lion King. My renditions of “The Circle of Life” and “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King” are particularly good.
  • Beauty and The Beast, Tale As Old As Time: I don’t know why I’m pretending that I know this because I blatantly only know two lines. I’m not even sure that the title is right. “Tale as time, song as old as rhyme, beauty and the beast”. That’s fairly pathetic I know, but whatever.
  • The Jungle Book, The Bare Necessities: “It’s the bare necessities, that’s why a bear can rest at ease, forget about your troubles and just dance, because it’s the dah-du-dah-duh-da etc…”

Alright, you do better.

Consider this an official challenge, gauntlets and all.

I propose a Disney Duel. I know I will win, I know all the words to most things ever.

Next time I see you, be prepared to bring it.

Looked at this on Explorer today on a computer running Windows 98 and couldn't see any of the side links.... Just thought you'd like to know.

Probably IE 5.x and therefore only deserving of my disdain.

Supermum: They are down the bottom under the comments box.

Mark: I bet you you can't sing Aladdin, A Whole New World all the way through. I bet you £100. Not exactly right. Not on your own.

I bet I can sing all the words to all the songs in Snow White. Sparticus' grandfather used to have a book with words and music that was easy to play on the piano.

Where You Take Part

You have two options in expressing yourself publicly on this site. If you have a new fangled blog type website (like this one) you can write what you want to say on your own site and link to this entry. I'll register that you've written something about it and provide a link to it below (this is called a trackback). If you don't have a website or just don't want to waste its time with me then you can add a good old fashioned comment. Fill in the blanks and press go to make your opinion heard among handfuls!

Caveats and the such

A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.
