LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS

[PonyHag714]

[Angel Beat]

[Gloomy Rube]

[Adiwan]

Bonus:

[Madeline]

[Juju&Lulu]

[Aramek]

Uffda, that's hard, if I had to pick a single, it's this baby.

[Gloomy Rube]

Looks like Aramek has good opinions on disney music

[Perpetual Motion]

Was going to post Hellfire, but Juju is on the ball.

[Adiwan]

"Almost there" is better in my opinion


A song about hard work and hope with a kick-ass animation style and a killer swing has more points than the villain's song.

This was a litmus test for all of you and I am pleased by the results.


A MAGIC FRIEND IS MAGIC

The whole movie is a masterpiece because the music, the setting, the American-ness of it.

It's one of the few Disney movies I made sure to buy buy on BluRay.

[Octavia]

It's these.

Villain songs are always the best because you have a lot more options when writing in a minor key. Sticking with diatonic major kind of limits what you're allowed to do, musically.

[ToastGhost]

Is this the most 90's thing? Possibly, it was made in 1995.

[Perrydotto]

Some of my big faves have already been posted, so here are some other big faves:







(from Lion King 2 but linking the musical version because it's hecking good)

[Madeline]

Moana has a great soundtrack in general but this gives me chills



Yes, you might notice that I love Beauty & the Beast to death

[Gloomy Rube]

give us a minor key hero song, disney, don't be a coward

for hard mode do it in Locrian

[SlateSlabrock]

[Octavia]

for hard mode do it in Locrian

That's impossible mode.

I wonder if Coco had one in Phrygian

[W.T. Fits]

[Madeline]

They kinda did, even though it modulates to major key for the choruses:

[Jill]

[Gloomy Rube]

They kinda did, even though it modulates to major key for the choruses:

They call that "The Modulation of Cowardice" I'm pretty sure, I think that's the official musical term.

[Octavia]

I prefer this version

[Madeline]

@Octavia: please tell them to stop listening to me sing in the shower, tia

They call that "The Modulation of Cowardice" I'm pretty sure, I think that's the official musical term.

The Assassination of Minor Keys By The Coward Major Key Modulation

[Pocket]

They kinda did, even though it modulates to major key for the choruses:

AND the infamous Four Chords of Pop, no less. I wonder if it's the first Disney song to use those. It's certainly not the last, since it came up in both "You're Welcome" (the variant that starts on the third chord and wraps around; sometimes these songs are in a minor key since the third chord is minor, but in this case it's in the key of the first chord) and "How Far I'll Go".

[ToastGhost]

Not the best, but underrated.

[West Filly]

I like Hercules. I relate to young Herc not fitting in. I relate to the message of "Work hard, get swole". Then you've got Megara. She is top tier as far as Disney female love interests go, because for a change it's not "look at me I've never even tasted lips before but I'm in love with this rich man forever and ever *swoon*". No, her first song is "been there, done that" and her relationship arc is more about how she has a crush on Hercules but doesn't want to. I find her much more relatable.

Also this song used to make me cry as a kid

[West Filly]

Troll option:



They also own Indiana Jones now

[West Filly]

But in all fairness it's not as though Disney can't make an instantly recognizable theme tune for themselves.



but if you want to argue it's not a song then I'll argue
DUNUNUN-NUN
DUNUNUN-NUN
DUNUNUN-NUN
DUNUN-UNUN

[Madeline]

This sequence made me cry, once upon a time.

DUNUNUN-NUN
DUNUNUN-NUN

This one's the better disney tune.
