Subject: Disney lyrics quiz

Written By: philbo_baggins on 08/05/02 at 04:21 a.m.

Some of my favourites from the wonderful world of Disney ;-)

Song and film, please (bonus points for the character who sings them)

Clues in bold
1. I stuff you with bread
  It don't hurt 'cause you're dead
  Les Poissons from The Little Mermaid sung by Louis the Chef Marci

2. And take a glance at the fancy ants
  Then maybe try a few
  The Bare Necessities from The Jungle Book sung by Baloo Taoist

3. You're a spineless, pale pathetic lot
  And you haven't got a clue
  I'll Make A Man Out Of You from Mulan sung by Shang, Chien Po, Mushu, Ping, Mulan, Yao and chorus JC

4. as wet as a warthog's backside
  Be Prepared from the Lion King, sung by Scar My name is Kenny

5. And ev'ry last inch of me's covered with hair
  Gaston from Beauty and the Beast sung by Gaston, Lefou et al JC

6. Incredible as he is inept
  Whenever the history books are kept
  They'll call him the phoney King of England
  The Phoney King of England from Robin Hood, sung by Little John Astral/Cornboy
7. I've heard some corny birds who tried to sing,
  but a cat's the only cat
  who knows how to swing.
  Everybody Wants to be a Cat - Aristocats - sung by Scat Cat & the rest of the gang. Dagwood

8. But you need an advisor
  A satyr, but wiser
  A good merchandiser
  OK, so he's a goat
  ..from Hercules (Lebiew15)

9. I heard a fireside chat, I saw a baseball bat
  When I See an Elephant Fly from Dumbo, sung by a crow My Name is Kenny

10.No request is too extreme
  One of the oldest, most famous Disney songs - has an astrological link?
  When you wish upon a star from Pinocchio sung by Jiminy Cricket Marci


Enjoy!

Phil

Correct!  Most of these ones are from videos one or other of my children have watched innumerable times...

Correct in all three (though Taoist did just pip you on #2) - "the Crow" would do fine for #9 as I don't know if he had a name...

...and I just thought I'd add that my parody to "Bare Necessities", called "Bare Celebrities" has just turned up at amiright (he adds in a shameless trawl for votes)... I wasn't sure whether Chucky was going to let it through ;-)

No, I'm afraid not.  It's actually sung by my namesake, so to speak.

I oughtta know all of these by heart by now, but I'll just take a stab and a couple I'm pretty sure about, right off.  ;D

#1 is "Les Poissons" from The Little Mermaid, and it's Chef Louie singing to Sebastian (the crab) as he prepares him for lunch.  

#10 is (I think!) "You Ain't Never Had a Friend Like Me", from Aladdin, and it's the Genie (Robin Williams) singing to Aladdin.

Yes and no - #1 is Les Poissons, but I ended up without one from Aladdin at all...

No, number 10 is not "Be Our Guest"; 8 is from Hercules, you might be able to work out that it's sung by

Now that I think about it, and with the aid of your hint, I think I can get this one right!! ;)
Is #10 "When You Wish Upon A Star", from Pinnochio?  If it is, I do know it was sung by Jiminy Cricket.. :-/

Yep.  Though I've just scanned the thread and seen that Angelik answered that for 8 (which could never be JC, if you think about it), so maybe that was a typo.  I'm surprised I didn't query whether she meant #10 (must have been a bad time).

Correct - the hint is that it was sung by a bear (IIRC it's Phil Harris, who does the same voice for Baloo in the Jungle Book), and there ain't that many bears in Robin Hood.

PS On the subject of voices in Disney films: Winnie the Pooh and Kaa (the snake in the Jungle Book) have the same voice (only Pooh doesn't have the sssssibilants).  Once you realize that, Pooh becomes a much more sinister character ;-)
