Updating Doom, will be back for this again.
59. Bare Necessities (Jungle Book) – Nominated by StifledSilence
I loved this song as a child and the theme of the song sticks with me until this day. I tend to like songs that have a good message about life and this song certainly does that very well. I don’t think the song hits the mark when it comes to vocals and it tends to repeat its sound a bit too much but overall a really great song to listen to if the mood strikes. The Jungle Book will always hold a special place in my heart because it is one of my last memories of a childhood friend named Alex who moved away. Oh, and the word play of this song is simply amazing for the most part. So many ways to say paw while at the same time not always saying paw, I approve.
58. Candle on the Water (Pete's Dragon) – Nominated by nintendogirl1
I think sometimes people misunderstand me as a person, although it isn’t hard to see why. I am a very aggressive and high energy person at times so it would be hard to imagine that I would like emotional songs that pull at the heart, while they are actually some of my favorites (hint: this is probably pretty telling.) While I am not a huge fan of the singer (she is great at times, but not always) the song is beautiful and endearing. I don’t remember the last time I’ve seen this movie, it was in my childhood I know, but I don’t recall being too big of a fan of it. This was a good nomination because although it didn’t crack too high on my list, I wouldn’t have thought of it if I was doing a list of my own. Good job ngirl.
57. Who Better Than Me (Tarzan: The Broadway Musical) – Nominated by Nintendogirl1
Hello again Ngirl! I would like to thank you for nominating this song because it is really awesome. I think the reason it isn’t higher is because the song just isn’t tight enough for me. The reprise would have been at least twenty places higher because it just accomplishes much the same value and doesn’t waste my time at places. Also yes, this is epic nitpicking which I did to choose the next 25 or so songs, that was how close it was. The singing in this song is stellar and ranking this has reminded me to listen to the whole musical soundtrack because I love big, powerful voices and this song has those in spades. I just absolutely love listening to this song.
56. Honor To Us All (Mulan) – Nominated by Forceful Dragon
Mulan is such an awesome movie, as well as an awesome character. This song would be higher but it annoys me a little bit because of the message. But I can appreciate the effectiveness of the message and the point of it to the song. However when Mulan starts singing it reminds me why I put this where it is at: I absolutely love her voice. It just slays me. Truly a wonderful voice that I could listen to sing all day, I think. The scene itself is pretty awesome as well with Mulan getting plucked and tightened and all of that. I feel kind for the song though, it didn’t stand a chance against the other songs on this list from the same movie.
55. Tomorrow is Another Day (The Rescuers) – Nominated by darkx
There are some songs that I say I could fall asleep to and mean that in a bad way, in this case I mean it in a good way. This is such a soothing song. Both the voice and the lyrics of this song are amazingly beautiful. I don’t even know why I have it so low until I look at what is to come and realize why: I just like the songs above this one better. There is no real nitpick about this song to me it just doesn’t resonate with me the way some songs I have minor nitpicks with do. Amazingly well done song and the scene suits it perfectly. Thank you for the nomination, darkx.
