The 30 best Disney songs
By Sandy C.
#12 “Hakuna Matata,” The Lion King
Sung By: Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella, Jason Weaver and Joseph Williams
I Can See What’s Happening: After taking in Simba, Timon and Pumba key their new pal in on their carefree lifestyle.
Favorite Line: “It means no worries, For the rest of your days, It’s our problem-free philosophy, Hakuna Matata!”
Why It’s Part of Our World: What’s not to love about The Lion King’s iconic duet which helped to ingrain the duo’s carefree life motto into pop culture history?!
#11 “Something There,” Beauty and the Beast
Sung By: Paige O’Hara, Robby Benson, Angela Lansbury, Jerry Orbach and David Ogden Stiers
I Can See What’s Happening: As Belle and Beast enjoy a stroll around the palace’s outer grounds to feed the birds and take in the snowy weather, they soon begin to see one another in a new light.
Favorite Line: “New, and a bit alarming, Who’d have ever thought that this could be? True, that he’s no Prince Charming, But there’s something in him that I simply didn’t see”
Why It’s Part of Our World: While perhaps not the most easily recognizable tune from the award-winning Beauty and the Beast, “Something There” marked the true turning point in the duo’s relationship while also reminding listeners that sometimes people are not as they seem. In other words, don’t judge a book by its cover.
