these images may be better for Cinderella. In the image you have, she is singing "Sing Sweet Nightingale." These are the scenes where she sings "A Dream is a Wish." :)

Pretty sure there are many 'I want' songs in the movie, maybe you should make it a Part II, I'll certainly come with a dozen of suggestions:)

For you consideration:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067093/soundtrack
If I Were a Rich Man from Fiddler on the Roof (1971)
(1964) (uncredited)
Music by Jerry Bock
Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick
Performed by Topol
Character: Tevye
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067093/mediaviewer/rm2049901824
Lyrics:
Dear God, you made many, many poor people.
I realize, of course, that it's no shame to be poor
But it's no great honor, either.
So what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune?
If I were a rich man,
Daidle deedle daidle
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dumb
All day long I'd biddy-biddy-bum
If I were a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work hard,
Daidle deedle daidle
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dumb
If I were a biddy-biddy rich,
Daidle deedle daidle daidle man
I'd build a big tall house with rooms by the dozen
Right in the middle of the town,
A fine tin roof with real wooden floors below.
There would be one long staircase just going up
And one even longer coming down,
And one more leading nowhere, just for show. ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/If_I_Were_a_Rich_Man_(song)
The title is inspired by a 1902 monologue by Sholem Aleichem in Yiddish, Ven ikh bin Rothschild (If I were a Rothschild),[1] a reference to the wealth of the Rothschild family, although the content is quite different. The lyric is based in part on passages from Sholem Aleichem’s 1899 short story "The Bubble Bursts." Both stories appeared in English in the 1949 collection of stories Tevye's Daughters.[2]

Matchmaker
(1964) (uncredited)
Music by Jerry Bock
Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick
Performed by Rosalind Harris, Neva Small, Michele Marsh, and Chorus
Characters: Tzeitel, Hodel and Chava
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067093/mediaviewer/rm3749020928?ft0=name&fv0=nm0365280&ft1=ima...
Lyrics:
Well, somebody has to arrange the matches,
Young people can't decide these things themselves.
She might bring someone wonderful----
Someone interesting----
And well off----
And important---
Matchmaker, Matchmaker,
Make me a match,
Find me a find,
catch me a catch
Matchmaker, Matchmaker
Look through your book,
And make me a perfect match
Matchmaker, Matchmaker,
I'll bring the veil,
You bring the groom,
Slender and pale.
Bring me a ring for I'm longing to be,
The envy of all I see.
For Papa,
Make him a scholar.
For mama,
Make him rich as a king.
Chava and Hodel:
For me, well,
I wouldn't holler
If he were as handsome as anything.
Matchmaker, Matchmaker,
Make me a match,
Find me a find,
Catch me a catch,
Night after night in the dark I'm alone
So find me match,

I LOVE the feature that allows options to move from one list into another.
Here is the link to the original list: Now the exclusively [link=https://www.imdb.com/list/ls048450083/]Disney list[/link]
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls048450083/
I will polish up the second [nonDisney] list right now. (with options mentioned by posters in this thread above).
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls048999588/
Thanks everyone for the help and support. I really am proud of this one... two set of musical polls.

Added Tracy Turnblad's "Good Morning Baltimore" from Hairspray.
Does anyone know if the "Feel Me, See Me" song from Tommy by The Who? Is that a "I Want" song?
Eminem's Lose Yourself from 8 Miles (a musical??) one as well?
