Originally Posted By toddwrite Great list! But how could you leave out "The Beautiful Briney Sea" from "Bedknobs and Broomsticks"? IMO, this is the most memorable song from the film (even though "The Age of Not Believing" got an Oscar nomination). BTW, thanks for including "Lavender Blue (Dilly Dilly)", my all-time favorite Disney song, from "So Dear To My Heart", my all-time favorite Disney movie. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the list.

(It should be the theme song for Tokyo Disney Sea, no doubt!) Thanks for reminding me the list is chronological. I couldn't imagine why "When You Wish Upon a Star" wasn't #1 on the list. Now I know why.

Actually, my fave song from that film was "Goodbye May Seem Forever", but in the film the lyrics are spoken instead of sung. - Inkan1969 <a href="http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~jfl/intro.html" target="_blank">http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~jfl /intro.html</a>
Originally Posted By Inkan1969 About "It's a Small World" Why do people hate that song? I'll admit that I haven't been to the Magic Kingdom since 1987 and that was the last time I took that ride. And I do understand that listening to that song in an infinite loop can get pretty annoying. But you can say that about any song. I really don't remember anything especially bad about that song or the ride. - Inkan1969 <a href="http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~jfl/intro.html" target="_blank">http://ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~jfl /intro.html</a>
Originally Posted By GG Ghost I enjoyed the first half but I think any list should count down, not up. There's no suspense to find to who comes in last! It's suspenseful when a list is counted down to #1. We already know your top picks, the envelopes open! No need to read your list any further.
Originally Posted By ToonKirby Just to clarify to everyone, the list is in chronological order. And just to make you wonder, if I had rated the songs, "When You Wish Upon a Star" would have been #2. See if you can guess what I would have had as #1. Sunita and Tycoon, what are your favorite songs? One of the fun things about such "best of" endeavors is to see what others would have picked. And I miss Howard Ashman too.
Originally Posted By CuriosWolfSo Good List but I'm disappointed that you left out my favorite Disney song from my childhood "You Can Fly,You Can Fly,You Can Fly" from Peter Pan.What kid can resist that song about flying and going away to a place where no one never grow up?I always dreamt of Peter Pan teaching me to fly and take me to Neverland.Why you think that Peter Pan ride in Disnyland is very popular? Too bad that you couldn't put the music from the two Fantasias and "Peter and the Wolf" on your list since these are not original music made for Walt Disney because I always like the "The Sorcerer's Apprentice","Dance of the Hours" "The Chinese Dance" with the little mushrooms,"Carnival of the Animals"with that funny pink flamingo and his yo-yo,"Piano Concerto No.2,Allegro,Opus 102"(aka The Steadfast Tin Soldier),and "Pomp & Circumstance" with Donald & Daisy. Speaking of Donald,I wished "The Donald Duck Song"("Who gets stuck with all the bad luck, no one but Donald Duck!"[Quack!]) was here too because that song sums up everything about Donald himself and is always heard at the beginning of the 50's & 60's Donald Duck cartoons. Well, I can't wait to see the rest of the list so keep up the good work!
Originally Posted By basil fan I swear by my tattoo I had tears in my eyes when reading the song lyrics in your list. Nothing makes me cry like a great song. Kudos for some great choices: Three Caballeros, On the Front Porch, Everybody Wants to Be a Cat, Perfect Isn't Easy, Fortuosity, There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow are all top drawer. I also would pick Beautiful Briny Sea over Age of Not Believing. My favorite Disney song is definitely Part of Your World, but it just barely edged out Once Upon a Dream, the undisputed champ for 3 decades. I guess that TK's favorite is Beauty & the Beast.
