Perfect World (The Emperor's New Groove) Love to do a THIRD write-up. Like everybody here, I love The Emperor's New Groove, but it's not because of the songs. In fact I don't even remember most of the songs in this movie. Strike that. I don't remember ANY song in this movie. This is the opening song from the movie and it's sung by Tom Jones. And I feel this also represents a good movement in terms of how Disney does it's music now. When you have a movie set in Peru and zero of the voice cast is even Latino then I think you miss opportunities for memorable songs. Lin Manuel Miranda is my enemy but he makes a catchy and I guess like a culturally distinct and appropriate bop. But this song and Tom Jones performing it feels so hodge podge for this specific movie. It's whatever. Saving: Kidnap the Sandy Claws

Even More Enchanted (Disenchanted) I know I'm not always tuned in to the Disney+ releases but I feel like I am tuned in to Amy Adams's career so I was startled to see there was a whole Enchanted sequel I did not know existed lol. This song isn't really persuading me to give it a watch though. The critics seem pretty MEH on it as well so I don't think I'm missing out on much. And I don't know if the Arrival snubbed just freaked up Amy Adams's career psychologically, but get this woman back in a GOOD movie. Like what's her best movie since that? Vice? Bleh. Let me take over as her agent, I'll find her something good. The people (me) just want to see Amy Adams thrive! Give her some good work! She's too good for what she's been in lately and that includes this movie! Saving: Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf

Once Upon a Time in New York City (Oliver & Company) The period between The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under is a real weird time for Disney (except for The Little Mermaid). It's kind of like the other weirdo period in the 2000s. It just feels like none of the Disney movies are what you really think of when you think of Disney. Except for the talking animals. None are particularly that musical, which since the inception of the theatrical animated features for Disney has kind of been a staple. There are exceptions of course (One Hundred & One Dalmatians, The Sword in the Stone), but again another reflection between the 80s and the 00s of Disney. Anyway, I like Oliver & Company well enough, but this song feels so of its time. It doesn't help that Huey Lewis is the singer. It also doesn't really feel movie specific. And I'm a big believer that a musical song should feel specific to the work that it's in. It's fine. The opening makes me sad because I love cats though. LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Muppets Theme Song (The Muppets) So I am going to assume that this is what this means. Because otherwise I'm getting The Muppets theme song from the original (very good) Muppets tv variety show. This has sent me to try and figure some things out. 1) How long have the Muppets been under Disney? The answer to (1) is pretty easy. The Muppets obviously were under The Jim Henson Company from creation to 2004 when acquired by Disney. Which leads me to question (2). 2) Does The Muppets Christmas Carol (perfect Christmas movie) even fit in this rankdown? So since The Jim Henson Company hadn't been acquired yet by Disney and was operating independently basically licensing out their properties to various production companies when movies got made (or television shows, Bear in the Big Blue House was Jim Henson AND Disney), what is the deal then with Christmas Carol. So Muppets Christmas Carol was produced with Buena Vista which is currently a subsidy of Walt Disney Studios. And it seems like it was established by Walt in the 1950s. Therefore, Muppets Christmas Carol is akin to Pixar movies pre-Disney acquisition. Made possible by Disney without Disney owning the studios. Allowing it to legally sneak in to this rankdown. I do all this because there's not much to say about this theme song. It's hard to argue that the original Muppets would fit in to a Disney theme anymore than PBS Sesame Street would. But the song in the Disney The Muppets movie that came out in the 2010s is so inconsequential and the movie made so little impact on me that I was forced to take a different journey. Saving: Tigger

That's What Friends Are For (The Vulture Song) (The Jungle Book) When I think of The Jungle Book, I do not think about this song at all. In fact I don't even think of the vultures. You think of Bagheera, Baloo, Shere Khan, and even King Louie and Kaa before the vultures. If you had asked me before this rankdown if the vultures had a song in The Jungle Book, I would have first asked "There are vultures?" that's how much this does not resonate with me. With all that being said, this then becomes an incredibly fair cut at this stage. This snuck in to the top 200 somehow. Sure. Whatever. Rankings mean nothing. TBQH I just like doing write-ups. I don't have much to say about the vultures or The Jungle Book though. Saving: Tigger

This Is What Dreams Are Made Of (Lizzie McGuire Movie) I'd cut the Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen song now but it has to keep being nominated so I'll have another chance next round. IDK if I don't cut this song now how long it's gonna be until I get a chance again. People love Lizzie McGuire. I loved Lizzie McGuire. And then I grew up and rewatched an episode and was like "Meh, maybe I didn't love it as much as I thought I did." Maybe it's because my middle school friends all did a performance for this in the talent show and didn't invite me and I'm bitter. But in the end I wouldn't have wanted to anyway because what is more mortifying than having to remember that performance for the rest of my life. I'd rather jump in the middle of the ocean, sink down, and eventually implode from the pressure like those rich idiotic submarine men than have any evidence of that leak out. Thankfully I did't perform and therefore don't have to worry about it. Saving: All in the Golden Afternoon

Ultimate (Freaky Friday) TBH I was being a good friend to Elliott when he was in the game and not going after the Freaky Friday songs and the Camp Rock songs because I know all he has to live for in life is Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Demi Lovato. Also I think he gave immunity to some of these songs so we couldn't go after them anyway. Hope he values my FRIENDSHIP in a rankdown he QUIET QUIT. LOLOLOLOLOOL. Anyway, this is another song from Freaky Friday. On the soundtrack it's the first song. Again, it sounds like a song that's trying to emulate the 2000s pop punk vibe but it can't get there because it can't use any swear words and also Disney is a bit anathema to the pop punk vibe. It's a fine song but I've heard this song in 100 different versions and this simply isn't the top of the list. Saving: All In the Golden Afternoon

Mark Dacascos Well I guess he's the runner-up of who I was hoping would get eliminated from my noms. And I've gotta reference Keke Palmer because Sorry to this Man, but I have no idea who he is. Wow that seems to actually be an oversight on my part and TRULY sorry to this man because he's a film martial artist. Again, though, his DWTS career made no impact on me so I am not too bothered by the fact that I got him eliminated. Let's see here's some career highlights: 1) Chairman of Iron Chef America AKA the less good Iron Chef. They may have had my lesbian chef queen Cat Cora, Top Chef 4 Winner Stephanie Izard, and the third Iron Chef Japan Masaharu Morimoto, but we all know that Iron Chef Japan is where it's at. That show went so hard they got HANS ZIMMER to make the theme music. 2) Zero in John Wick III. The John Wick movies are all very good. A true career highlight TBQH. 3) The star of Canadian TV Show The Crow: Stairway to Heaven. That's a good one. Crow content is always good. 4) 17 epsodes of the Hawaii Five-O reboot that I watched approximately 3 episodes of because I am personally in love with Grace Park who is currently fulfilling a 15-year-long dream of mine and playing gay in a show I don't watch A Million Little Things because there is finally enough gay content where I don't have to watch every straight show with one gay character. 4) A role in pretty nifty show Warrior, which I've not watched but is right up my alley and I probably should watch. Let's see he was on Season 9 of DWTS where he was paired with Lacey. They were eliminated 10th putting him in 6th place. There were several double eliminations so they were actually only on for 7 weeks. They were perfectly average.

you know i'm taking double cuts. i'm the only one here who wants to do that many write-ups

assuming this is rhetorical because you know very well that men's sexuality is policed very different than women's. AKA DWTS won't give a f(ck. I also think that if Karina posed for Playboy today that it wouldn't be as big a deal

I'm gonna save Hines Ward

I’ll decide once I get to work!
