No one saying do this, no one saying be there, no one saying stop that, no one saying see here...

This is video heavy. Feel free to pick and choose. Except the first one immediately below this, that's mandatory. Cause it's awesome.

Okay, so you can blame this post on this video here:

After Ever After - Paint


Watch it first. It's fantastic.

I bought it on iTunes and have been singing Disney stuff nonstop ever since. This includes at work.

As most of you know I'm a bit of a Disney freak. I was raised watching them all over and over and frequently quote them or sing their songs. You can find more on that here:

Sketch and Edit Watch a Movie

Otherwise known as my "Sketch and Edit Disney Rant" based off a friend's speech in college. 

Anyway, so I bought that on iTunes and have been singing Disney stuff nonstop ever since.

Which led to a conversation with a coworker about Poor Unfortunate Souls. And she had no idea what I was talking about.

Please tell me that you all have seen The Little Mermaid.

Because out of all the coworkers I asked today only one of them has.

And it makes me sad. Like, that's a classic!

Right?

Was it just my family that grew up watching Disney movies? Like all of the Disney movies? Even after we were kids?

Or am I just that young compared to my coworkers.

So, after listening to my Disney Pandora station (basically nonstop) I have decided to post my favorites.

For those of you cultured enough to have seen them already I hope you enjoy listening to them again.

For those of you who haven't seen them for some unknown reason WATCH THEM. They are classics.

Because there are thousands of Disney stuff out there I'm only including my favorites, meaning musicals.

Okay so they're not all musicals, but most of them are.

Since it's impossible to sort these in order of favoritism - there's too many good ones - I'm going by release date instead. I'll attempt to limit myself to one song per movie, but we both know that's not going to last.

Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs - Heigh Ho - 1937


which we got to sing at Trivia Night. well, it was more of a "Heigh Ho!" and then all lifted our adult beverages...Whistle While You Work was a close second, where are all those magical animals when I need someone to clean my apartment?


Cinderella - Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo - 1950


A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes is a close second, but I like this one better.


Peter Pan - You Can Fly - 1953


What Makes a Red Man Red came in second but it's not exactly PC. and I still don't know the answer to that question.


Lady and the Tramp - Bella Notte - 1955


i love the Glee cover of this song, it's fantastic. Siamese Cat Song came in second, but they creep me out.


Sleeping Beauty - Once Upon a Dream - 1959


okay, honestly this one and poor unfortunate souls are probably the songs i sing the most out of all these i will post. mostly when i'm doing laundry. i'm sure my neighbors love me.


101 Dalmatians - Cruella De Vil - 1961


another one frequently sang, this one mostly while driving.


Sword in the Stone - Higitus Figitus - 1963


i wish i could pack like that. i'm aware you probably don't know that one, but i love it. That's What Makes the World Go 'Round comes in a close second. (ps - if you're wondering which of these movies are my favorites, i know you're not actually, but it's a tie between this one and Robin Hood)


Mary Poppins - Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - 1964


a old schoolmate of mine was asked once how to spell that on the radio (i mean he was asked, while on the radio) and his response was "it starts with an S and the rest is fluff." they gave him ice cream.

Spoonful of Sugar came in close second, especially after singing it over and over at camp thanks to the 3rd grade girls skit found here.


Jungle Book - I Wanna Be Like You - 1967


Bare Necessities comes in a very close second here, especially cause my sisters used it sing it all the time, but i have bad memories attached to that movie so i haven't watched it in a very long time. again, read the Sketch and Edit mentioned above.


Aristocats - Everybody Wants to be a Cat - 1970


Thomas O'Malley I love as well. how many characters did he voice, geez?


Robin Hood - The Phony King of England - 1973


a pox on the phony king of england. a tie for my favorite disney movie, but i think it just slightly edges out the Sword in the Stone. by like just a little.

Oo De Lally comes in a close second. yes that is roger miller.


Little Mermaid - Poor Unfortunate Souls - 1989


yes indeed. how can you not love this song? or know it for that matter? it makes me sad.

okay i'm breaking my one song post rule for this one - my excuse is because it's the movie that led to this post in the first place - that and it has the most of my favorite songs.

Kiss the Girl


my honorable mentions are Under the Sea and Part of Your World


Beauty and the Beast - Belle - 1991


strange. no. question. SNL did an awesome parody of this for Anna Kendrick's intro.

okay i'm breaking my rule again, but this time i don't have an excuse. they're just all so good.

Gaston


cause it's amusing. is that what guys actually aspire to be?

then of course there are the obvious Tale as Old as Time and Be Our Guest.


Aladdin - Friend Like Me - 1992


timely. still catchy.

and of course Prince Ali yes, breaking the rule again.


Honorable mentions are Arabian Nights, One Jump Ahead, and A Whole New World which my high school roommate would sing nonstop.


Lion King - I Just Can't Wait to be King - 1994


clear front-runner for me personally, but there are other good ones too. such as:

Hakuna Matata


Followed closely by Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Circle of Life WHICH APPARENTLY QUEEN OF THE KNOWN UNIVERSE KNOWS BY HEART so i may make her sing it on date night Friday...and Be Prepared which used to scare the crap out of me, even though I used to laugh at the hyenas.

OMG it was Jeremy Irons! That's been driving me nuts all day.

Pocahontas - Just Around the Riverbend - 1995


Second comes Colors of the Wind.

Hunchback of Notre Dame - Topsy Turvy - 1996


Second comes Out There which is also catchy but not as fun.

Hercules - I Won't Say I'm in Love - 1997


another movie that you probably haven't seen, but i absolutely love that song. probably listened to it a thousand times. the muses are my favorites. I Can Go the Distance comes in second and Zero to Hero in third.


Mulan - I'll Make a Man Out of You - 1998


sketch's favorite, followed closely by Reflection.


Tarzan - Trashin' the Camp - 1999


yes that is rosie o'donnell. love it. Followed closely by the obvious Strangers Like Me and You'll Be in My Heart.

I also like Emperor's New Groove, Lilo and Stitch, and Finding Nemo, but they don't really have music.

And that's enough from me.

Mostly cause I haven't seen Tangled and wasn't really a huge fan of the Princess and the Frog or Frozen.

I know, I'm a heathen.

Build me a snowman.

What do you want me to do, dress in drag and do the hula?



had to save it for last.

and i'm officially out. hope you had fun.

this one longing to be thinner that one wants to get the girl and do i help them? yes indeed.

Yes, I took the weekend off.

No, I'm not lying somewhere in a ditch.

That's actually one of my favorite home branch memories - as horrible as it sounds, it's funnier now.

Basically my phone went nuts and my alarm didn't go off so I woke up late and missed part of work and since my phone was messed up I couldn't make or receive any calls to call in to let them know what was going on. By the time I finally got there I was like freaking out cause I thought I was gonna get fired and they started clapping cause I wasn't dead somewhere in a ditch.

Thanks for that guys.


Anyway, it was nice to have the weekend off but I'm back with a vengeance.


FRIDAY:

Slept in, it was glorious.

Then went shopping with Oldest Sister for shirts for work.

But we couldn't leave the store with just shirts.

Apparently, every female with a pulse is required to own boots.

It's some sort of contract that we sign when we're born.

And apparently cowboy boots aren't enough so I got another pair that my boyfriend calls "camo" but I call "steampunk". They're awesome.

The best part was that Oldest Sister hated them! And wanted me to get this other pair so I tried them both on and then she was like, ugh. I like your choice better.

Victory!

They have pockets.

I don't know what to put in the pockets but they're there.

And they're awesome so I wore them to work today.

And it turned out much better than that time I wore the cowboy boots to work.

Which is on here somewhere I believe. It just happened to be the busiest day that week so I was constantly running up and down the stairs with the boots, my feet were dead by the end of the day.

But today was much better and these are more comfortable. The boyfriend was stunned. Take that world.

Anyway, back to Friday, so slept in, went shopping, then headed out to see the boyfriend. He changed my oil cause he's sweet like that.

Then we watched Heat cause apparently it's the action movie to kill all action movies and neither of us had seen it.



Literally.

Scale of Awesome says about 6/10. It was alright but it wasn't all that. I did enjoy the cast though, they were good.

My problem was that I fell asleep about halfway through - we didn't start it until 9 since he didn't have to go in to work so it wasn't over 'til 12 and then I didn't get back 'til 1.

Which made Saturday even more interesting as I had to work.


SATURDAY:

So I was in zombie mode for most of the day, plus I felt like crap so it wasn't a fun day. But that's okay, worked 9-6, got to clean the bathroom after someone threw toilet paper all over the place, then came home and watched some Charlie's Angels.

Cause it's about that time again. Every few months I gotta bring it back. Starting with season one again.

I know, I know, but if I start at season one then by the time I get through season three I'll be distracted and then won't have time to watch seasons four or five where Sabrina leaves and we're stuck with crap.

Which I can only assume without verification as even though I own both seasons I've avoided them like the plague.

Also did some homework and lots of reading.



SUNDAY:

aka today.

Wore the boots, they're awesome. Will consider wearing them again tomorrow.

Spent the majority of my day working on booklists as Sundays are slow. Found some more crazy millionaires worthy of my Million Dollar Crazies booklist. Sent a copy to the Queen of Awesome, we'll see what she thinks of my list. I keep coming up with more! Tom Cruise, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Howard Hughes, Howie Mandel, Justin Bieber, Leona Helmsley, Robert Klark Graham, Gatsby, Tony Stark, etc. etc. Yes, I'm including fiction too.

Talked to some teens about joining TAB and they seemed pretty interested. Been seeing them around lately and the girl seems like she would really like it so I gave them both applications. Hope to see them in September.

What else?

Oh, had the song Poor Unfortunate Souls stuck in my head all day cause I have copies of Barbarous Souls checked out for my mom and every time I look at my account I see them and for some reason Ursula and her eels pop into my head.

And they drive me nuts.

After work went out to see the boyfriend yet again, we got supper, watched part of the VMA's and then jammed at Walmart buying donuts and checking out their $5 DVD selection.

It was thoroughly exciting, just enough of a break from reality that it was perfect.

So, now I am back and off to bed. More work tomorrow cause there's no rest for the wicked.


Song of the day:

Well, the week rather cause I've been singing it ever since I checked them out for her weeks ago.

Poor Unfortunate Souls - Pat Carroll


the ultimate villain song. her voice is perfect for the role. true? yes! 

i haven't seen this movie in a decade and a half, watching it now HOW COULD SHE TAKE THAT DEAL?! seriously?

kind of makes me want to go back and watch some of the other classics. now that i'm much older and a bit wiser i'll probably catch quite a bit more.

lady gaga's outfit reminded me of ariel tonight.

speaking of the VMA's dude!! NSync reunion!!



jump to 9:55 for the awesomeness.

the boyfriend wasn't an enthused about it as i was.

as i immediately texted Instacake.

cause that's how i roll.


and i'm out. hope you all had a great weekend.
