DISCLAIMER: My taste regarding certain songs is very different from the rest of you. And nostalgia will come to play. So yeah, prepare to rage.
What's this? What's this? I'm finally done? Yay!
Thanks for nominating the songs, and I'm really glad I ended up with 108 songs, so I can make a cool Suikoden reference. *puts on sunglasses*
I got to listen to lots of new songs. Some are great, some are not. But I didn't really hate any of them, just...mildly dislike at worst. Also, I kinda lost like half of the name of the users who nominated songs, so just stand up and claim that you nominated that song.
Finally, I judge based on the song itself, the scene, the lyrics (somewhat, I can't be bothered to look up the lyrics for songs I haven't listened to before), and NOSTALGIA (yeah, I'm biased as I said).
Anyway, let's get started.
108. A Most Befuddling Thing From: The Sword in The Stone Nominated by: Afro Squirrel
You know what's befuddling? This song. The tune's really mediocre, and Merlin shouldn't quit his day job anytime soon. Also, it's kinda annoying that the squirrels' squeaks are overlapping with the song. Oh god, that squirrel girl is so annoying.
107. Everybody Wants to be A Cat From: The Aristocats Nominated by: Suor Genoveffa
This song starts out kind okay, although not really good or anything. The scene is a bit trippy but nothing too difficult to bear. But later on, especially the ending was really trippy. I was honestly disconcerted and I don't want to watch that song ever again. At least A Most Befuddling Thing didn't make me want to cry and hide under my blanket.
Aaand that wraps it for our first tier.
A Most Befuddling Tier 108. A Most Befuddling Thing 107. Everybody Wants to be A Cat
Yeah, I'm really not going to be mad about you not liking a song I like :-D. Although Be Prepared or Arabian Nights not making the top 100 would definitely make me say whaaaaaaaaaaaaat... ;-)
Now, it's not bad or anything, it really isn't. It's just kinda forgettable. I only remember that it's rather short and the piano section was kinda nice. But seriously, 'Dalmatian Plantation'? I'd be surprised if this song is not sung by Cruella's henchmen.
105. Human Again From: Beauty and The Beast Nominated by: Prince Karo
Ah, it hurts me so much so bad to place a BaTB song this low. Regardless, Human Again is a very good contender for the weakest song in that movie. Once again, it's not that the song's bad or anything, it's just...nothing special. And just how many servants does Beast have anyway? >_>
104. Gaston From: Beauty and The Beast Nominated by: Prince Karo
But I don't feel too bad about putting this song this low. I mean, who likes Gaston anyway XFD. But seriously, the song is lame and gross. Body hair? Ugh. And Beast was much more hairy anyway. I dislike the character, which means I wouldn't like a song praising him at all. And it's not like it's musically amazing anyway, another mediocre song.
Well, I do have a slight nostalgia with this song, but the movie version is actually not really that good. I mean, I love the Fairy Godmother, she's so kind. And this song is pretty fun too, with the non-whimsical chanting. But OH GOD THE DISEMBODIED VOICES. I don't like old-timey, disembodied voices like in this song. They just sound scary and menacing. So if your song(s) has something like this in it, please don't set your hopes too high!
By the way, the nominator list is just too messed up, so I won't list who nominated the songs from this point on.
From: Vishje3000 | #006 Yeah, I'm really not going to be mad about you not liking a song I like :-D. Although Be Prepared or Arabian Nights not making the top 100 would definitely make me say whaaaaaaaaaaaaat... ;-)
Oh wow, you're great. Some people here really could use an example or two from you *cough*. And about those songs...well, let's just wait and see.
From: Vishje3000 | #009 Out of those four I only like Gaston (and that song I only know in the dutch version ;-)), so seems good to me :-P
Sorry about that. The nominator list is really messed up. But at least your nominations haven't shown up yet! And IIRC you nominated a bunch of P&F songs.
Oh man. The weakest song in the whole movie? I think yes. The best thing about this song is only how delicious the food looks (and how PETA would love the song's imageries too). And flamboyant French chefs are so 1989. :P
101. You Can Fly From: Peter Pan
The tune is okay, but oh god the vocals. The kids' vocals are just so-so in the first place, but the CREEPY DISEMBODIED VOICES are back! I really can't stand them. The scene is also a bit scary, perhaps because it's old and dark. It'd be better if they just show the scene inside the kids' room, no need for the dark outside shots of the house. Ugh.
100. DuckTales Theme Song From: DuckTales
Uhh, okay, it's not too bad. Ducktales *banshees screaming* something something Ducktales *banshees screaming*. It's kinda catchy, so I guess it makes an okay OP. It's not like I expect Disney's TV show openings to be masterpieces or anything.
It's one of the songs where it's better to just listen without watching it, because unnerving old-style backgrounds. Jeez, I sound like I hate everything old, but that's not necessarily too. I can't see myself watching Jungle Book voluntarily though. Besides, there was too many 'asvnjabgueagm' gibberish part. >_> They weren't even sweet and funny like bobbidi babbadi boo (sp?) or short enough like Chim Chim Cher-ee. The only wholly good part was the chorus. I wanna be like you, talk like you, walk like you. I wanna be where the people are, I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin--oh wait.
98. Arabian Nights From: Aladdin
Oh, I'll never understand why this song is so popular. Maybe they just like old men singing Arabiaaaaaan niiiiiiiiiiiights. I mean, it's not badly sung at all, sure. But most of it is just a let-down and kinda bland. Maybe people just like it because it's so ~exothique~ or something, idk. But hey, it's short.
97. Disco Miniature Golfing Queen From: Phineas and Ferb
Natwaf's first song to appear on this list, most likely. The beat's pretty cool, but the vocals are lackluster. And it's so trippy. Do Disneys just want to make children get seizures like Electric Soldier Porygon or what? >_> And this song is so...eh. I mean, she's the queen of a miniature golf course? Really impressive.
96. TaleSpin Theme Song From: TaleSpin
Just another theme song, but it didn't annoy me as much as DUCKTALES. Move along, folks.
=== That wraps it up for our current tier.
Disco Miniature Golfing Tier 106. Dalmatian Plantation 105. Human Again 104. Gaston 103. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo 102. Le Poissons 101. You Can Fly 100. DuckTales Theme Song 99. I Wanna Be Like You 98. Arabian Nights 97. Disco Miniature Golfing Queen 96. TaleSpin Theme Song
@Natwaf: Well now that I relistened to it, I can kindaaaa hear it...somewhat...maybe...perhaps...kinda...for 3 secs. >_< Just the part with the keyboard.
From: Vishje3000 | #023 Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat ;-)...
Now you already listed 3 out of my top 10 songs :-D
Only 7 more to go! ^w^
Also, what are they? Maybe some of them aren't in this list at all (like, maybe nobody nominated them).
Hey, I put a disclaimer on the first post, right? :3 And sorry about the nominator thing, it really was my fault.
From: Vishje3000 | #029 Hmmm, actually I have never ranked them :-P. I will have a look at it one of these days. But I'm quite sure the top 5 would contain:
Be prepared, Arabian Nights, Why should I worry, I wanna be like you and Everybody wants to be a cat
{Edit]: Savages (Pocahontas) is a very nice one too :-), some more Aladdin songs too, Chim chim cheree, the bells of notre-dame...
I can't say I'm too impressed with the placement of the Ducktales theme, Gaston, and especially I Wanna Be Like You...yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
From: hideto | #032 I can't say I'm too impressed with the placement of the Ducktales theme, Gaston, and especially I Wanna Be Like You...yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Totally.
From: Pokewars | #033 I would be ENRAGED (;P) at the bad start to the list right now if you didn't make reference to the best songs, so please continue :)
Bad songs make for a bad start, yeah.
From: PrinceKaro | #034 Raka_Putra posted... Oh god, that squirrel girl is so annoying.
I'm continuing if you please. I'm continuing if you don't please.
95. Siamese Cat Song From: Lady and The Tramp
It's kinda creepy, and their voices are kinda creepy too, but in a good way. I can't really explain it, but I think it's because it's meant to be creepy, unlike You Can Fly, for example.
94. Winnie The Pooh Theme From: Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh
And now we're back to unintentionally creepy songs. Geez, Disney. Creepy old choral voices are creepy. I suppose it's good enough for the 1950s, but it's just kinda creepy now. But the scenes are kinda cute so it's not too bad. And it should have made its own opening video instead of splicing from scenes of the show.
93. Mad Madam Mim From: The Sword in the Stone
Jolly and mad, yeah. It serves its purpose very well, I guess. But musically it's only so-so. I do like Madam Mim though, hope she'd appear more, but oh well.
92. Cruella De Vil From: 101 Dalmatians
Welp, and that's it for 101 Dalmatians song. I mean, yeah, I like the lyrics and all, but it's just not enough. When I like a Disney pop cover more than the original movie version, it's usually not a good sign.
91. When You Wish Upon A Star From: Pinocchio
Eh. It strives for greatness, but doesn't quite reach it. Particularly because of of old-timey audio, creepy disembodied voices, man, this song is scary. I can't wait until we get out of these kind of songs.
90. Poor Jack From: Das niteMARE b4 xmas
It starts off slow then it slowly descends into madness. Eh. Ehhh. Like, whatever man. It was kinda boring, but at least it wasn't offensively bad.
89. Heffalumps and Woozles From: The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh
Bewaaaare bewaaaare. Beware. Beware. Be a very wary bear. *pretty cool flute* The song itself is only so-so, but damn if it isn't trippy and unnerving. In a good way. I mean, I can watch this song again every now and then, unlike Everybody Wants to be A Cat. Also, dat laughing honey jar.
88. One Jump Ahead From: Aladdin
Two of Aladdin songs down! Well, it's not bad, but the vocals are kinda mediocre. The slapstick-ish comedy is not really unique, now or back when it was released. At least it's a good song to introduce our hero and his way of life.
87. Night on Bald Mountain From: Fantasia 2000
Okay, WHAT THE HELL. Who thought this was a good idea?! It'd traumatize children. And the scene was so terrifying I barely paid any attention to the song. It's cool, yeah, but...what the heck. It's not even creepy-funny like Heffalumps or Pink Elephants, it's just scary. If children suicide rates went up after the release of Fantasia 2000, I think we know what to blame.
86. Chim Chim Cher-ee From: Mary Poppins
The instrumental is kinda scary, foreboding. His vocal isn't my favorite either. And what the heck is Chim chim pan zee cheree. Yeah, not my favorite song in Mary Poppins. But the worst thing's gotta be the glorification of chimney sweepers. What, did Disney want children to quit school and sweep chimneys instead? That's dangerous and miserable, a job without future. As lucky can be? WHAT THE HELL YO. Even the fish in the bowl is luckier than you.
Could you tell me what I nominated again? I remember Dig a Tunnel, Be Prepared, and that's all. This fever I have is kind of screwing with my mind.

Will not remove this line of my signature until the Seahawks, Jazz or Rockies win a title (Started 5-16-09) http://www.sporcle.com/games/Kazbar/gfaqscontest
Look out! Look out! The updates are coming! Here they come, hippety hoppety.
85. Fabulous From: Phineas and Ferb
Fabulouuus. Or not really. Yeah, it could've been much better. It wasn't terribad or anything, just kinda mediocre-ish, which is what this tier is all about.
84. Pink Elephants on Parade From: Dumbo
Aww yeah baby. It's creepy, but it's my kind of creepy! Just so nonsensical and deliciously terrifying. It is scary and would probably made me cry if I'd watched this when I was younger, but now it's the kind of grotesque thing where you want to look somewhere else but you can't. It just has that mysterious way to pull you. I actually don't know why I put it this low, maybe I mistakenly drank some alcohol or somethi-- oh hey why are these elephants walking around my bed? On their head?
83. Mighty Ducks Theme From: Mighty Ducks
Ducks rock~!!! Ducks rock~!! So lame-o. I don't know why I put it this hig--dammit elephants, stop running, and racing, and dancing, and chasing, and leaping, and bounding, and splashing...
82. Daughters of Triton From: The Little Mermaid
Ah we're the daughters of Triton~ Great father who loves us and named us well~ This song is kinda underrated. Not the best song of the film, of course, but it serves its purpose well. Too bad we don't get to see Ariel's sisters in the movie. The direct-to-VCR-or-whatever movies don't count.
81. Carpe Diem From: Phineas and Ferb
The beat's fine enough, but ugh Phineas' voice. They should just hire Lea Salonga. Or Jodi Benson. Or Angela Lansbury. Or Julie Andrews. Or a dead hobo. Okay, maybe not that last one. Regardless, the scene's really cool with everyone there. I like scenes like this, where you can see all the characters and reminisce of all the good times with them.
Also, the next song will be very, very controversial. I should Be Prepared to be thrown into Hellfire or Under The Sea. If that happens, well, it's just the Circle of Life, I guess. But I hope I've Got A Friend In You. Still, I Won't Say I'm In Love with the next song, unless I want my Reflections to be someone I don't know.
