Underrated Disney songs

[Liam]

I'm not sure any of these apart from the Robin Hood (which is AWESOME) film are even remotely underrated...

But this thread is about the songs, not the films.

[Benjamin]

Also, I don't think Robin Hood can actually be considered underrated even as a movie, when compared to the lesser known Disney movies that are good.

[Dang117]

People might argue but overall compared to most of the lion king songs this is pretty underrated.

[Benjamin]

Oh yeah, that is fantastic. And compared to the rest of the Lion King songs, definitely goes under the radar.

[Meacon Keaton]

Everything about Mulan is great, though, and I can't understand why it isn't more popular than it is. "I'll Make a Man Out of You" and

both work on levels that Disney songs don't normally work on--they'd be utterly conventional ("I'll Make a Man Out of You" is very close to "Go the Distance" from Hercules) were it not for everything going on around them. Great stuff.

No joke on nothing, Mulan is one of my top three favorite Disney movies. Every song, especially the two you mentioned, are great. I can just at random times say "To defeat..." and my daughter will say "The Huns!"

I cant view youtube at work, so I can't see what most of the songs being talked about are.

My personal favorite Disney song that gets not nearly enought love is "Poor Unfortunate Souls" from The Little Mermaid.

Kill the Beast from Beauty and the Beast is wondeful as well.

[Hailtothechimp]

Poor Unfortunate Souls might be favorite song from that era of Disney movies. Kill the Beast is pretty good, but if we're talking Beauty and the Beast, you gotta go with...

Best song from that movie hands down.

If you think singing is going to help prove how manly you are, you are wrong, Gaston!

[Benjamin]

Gaston might be one of Disney's greatest characters.

[Sousa]

Beauty and the Beast is so weird because on one hand it's an indictment of the macho guy paradigm but on the other hand it's predicated on the idea that if your boyfriend is a total monster then you can change him girls!

Is this cartoons only? If not...

...actually no, I can't pick. Plus they're not underrated at all, in my family at least. I'm struggling to remember the one with the ghost of Christmas present though.

[GoGo Yubari]

Man, everyone has brought up all of the gold-standard Disney villain songs. "Be Prepared" and "Poor Unfortunate Souls" and "Gaston" are the standards. You want one that's not nearly as beloved in spite of being catchy as shit? Here:

I really do not like Pocahontas' soundtrack for the most part, but "Mine Mine Mine" is really fun. Especially once you're old enough to realize that John Smith's verse is pretty shitty and imperialistic too.

And from the within itself underrated Princess and the Frog

[GoGo Yubari]

Yeah, "Friends on the Other Side" deserves classic status and won't be there for a while.

I've never seen Tangled and don't really want or need to. All I need is this. This forever:

[Pleatherface]

It may be more beloved than I'm aware, but for my tastes the movie never gets enough credit, and next to Professional Pirate this has to be the best song in it.

Nah, all of Muppet Treasure Island is fair game. AND SPEAKING OF:

[Chris2K]

Want to add my support for both Hercules (I Won't Say I'm In Love is my favourite) and Muppets Christmas Carol which is one of my favourite films of all time.

Favourite song from it is...

[Hobo]

Fuck, y'all... Return of Jafar gave Iago a musical number and it's awesome. Gilbert Gottfried probably shouldn't ever sing but this works.

Speaking of Aladdin sequels:

[Walker]

Honourable mention to Colonel Hathi's Elephant March from Jungle Book, but I can't find the full-length karaoke version that I like
