I've reached the top and I've had to stop and that's what's a-bothering me."

So what is the best song from a Disney film?

^That may not actually be my favourite incidentally.

Although I can't immediately think of a better one.

there are some good ones

in the Hunchback of Notre Dame (including a Dies Irae!) but I can't remember any of them off the top of my head.

of course

if we're including non-animated Disney then there are also some great songs in Muppet Treasure Island:

I could've been a doctor/I like cutting things apart
I could've been a lawyer/but I just had too much heart

King of the Swingers

is where it's at.

And before anyone says it, Disney can screw their Elton John pox ridden efforts.

That Elton John one from the Lion King

Just for the line: "It's enough to make KINGS AND VAGABONDS."

Classic. Also the rest of the Lion King soundtrack is ace.

"When I was a young warthog ..."

I loved the Lion King.

I must have been about 12 when it came out so probably felt I was too old for kids' films(or on the cusp of feeling I was too old at least) but it was excellent.

There are so many

excuse me whilst I check the track listing of my copy of Disney's Hit Singles!

'Under The Sea' has to be up there!

Gaston!

Or possibly Scar's "Be Prepared" from the Lion King, what with all it's Nazi connotations. Plus: Jeremy. Fucking. Irons.

Teh Winnur:

Be our guest! Be our guest!
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie
And we'll provide the rest
Soup du jour
Hot hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff
Chip:
It's delicious
Lumiere:
Don't believe me? Ask the dishes!

OR

No one's slick as Gaston
No one's quick as Gaston
No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston's
For there's no man in town half as manly
Perfect, a pure paragon!
You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley
And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on
