Just Around the Riverbend (Pocahontas)
I really like this song but we are at Top 40 so it's time to get ticky tacky with things. And when it comes down to it, I think it's easier to get rid of Pocahontas songs for being part of a film I'm sure Disney will make go away like it did Song of the South in another 20 years than it is to get rid of a lot of other songs at this point. So my saves kind of went exactly as planned if you'd seen my noms the past few rounds. This is the "I want" song for Pocahontas. But when she's singing at this point in the movie we, and Pocahontas herself, don't know what she really wants. Just a nebulous "change." It just sucks that later in the movie the "I want" turns out to be like "I want to be colonized and live with my white husband in England." And when you put it that way, maybe we should have cut this about 100 songs ago.
