Live poll: Favorite Songs for the “Dog and Pony Review”

Bumpers

It is now. Thanks for telling me.

@Tsarstepan​ it is revised a little bit.

Added 

I had cleaned it up a little bit more but I still got a problem sentence since it is really a very long phrase and not a proper sentence. I got to work on it. Any way, thank you. You posts always helps because I got rotten grammar.

@dgranger​ ,

Please consider changing you introduction and question to the following:

I was thinking about the animated film Lady and the Tramp (1955) and the song "Bella Notte (This Is the Night)". This reminded me of the scene in the dog pound where the stray dogs are barking a terrible rendition of "There's No Place Like Home (Home, Sweet Home)". Just before Peg is introduced, it is mentioned that she used to be a star of the "Dog and Pony Review". She then sings her song.

This got me thinking about what other songs could be included in a fictional "Dog and Pony Review". I would like to come up with a list of songs that meet the following criteria: 

1. The song is from an animated film.
2. The song is sung by an animal (fish, reptile, dinosaur, bird, or insect).
3. The song is an original song written for the movie.

I am looking for songs that fit into a variety of categories, such as:

• Opening numbers
• Torch songs
• Songs about family
• Love songs
• Lullabies
• Funny character songs
• Big production show breakers
• Villain songs
• Dramatic songs
• Inspirational songs

Which one on this list is your favorite?

So if you got any stray songs to name, drop them off here, so the dog catcher can round them up.

@dan_dassow​ I changed most of the description but I had kept the first line because that is what happened. I didn’t mentioned “Lady and the Tramp” and Bella Noche (This is the Night)”. Someone else did. My mind went to the dog pound scene because of the story of how Peg was created. That character wasn’t in the orginnal script. It was Peggy Lee who wrote all the songs for the movie and was the singing of all the female singing voices including the Siamese cats. She came up with the idea and Walt was uncertain about including it. So she wrote the song and paid for the demo herself in which she performed. The execs at Disney, including Walt’s wife, and Roy Disney so liked the slightly vampy style Peggy Lee sung it that they created the character of Peg for her. Peggy Lee was the inspiration! And as I said, Peg, Jocko, and Trusty, from “Lady and the Tramp”, and Pongo from “101 Dalmatians” have cameo shots in “Oliver and Company” in the “Why Should I Worry” song.

I'm not sure the bullet points will look very good in poll format, unless they're separated by a space. The second section could perhaps be written in a single sentence:

@Jessica​ and @dgranger ,

I agree. When I suggested an edit, I wanted to clarify what @dgranger wrote. I had not considered formatting if/when the poll goes live.

Changes done but I still find it clunky because it talks about creating the list then goes to ask the question and then goes right back to talk about setting up the list.

Thanks, but please consider changing the bullet points to a single sentence:

We (poll admins) have not given on your poll.

@maridina​ great list but unfortunately half cannot go on because of the 2nd rule it had to be sung by an animal and etc.it meant no humans. In fact I had trouble justifying one of my selections because the character don’t sing it on screen but the singing voices of the characters sing it off screen. The little mermaid ones, I’ll consider. I think I had already got the Lion King ones. 
and if you think I’m kidding around about the animals have to sing the songs, I have a killer torch song I can’t use because of my own rules. A song that I think, if Brother Bear 2 was released in theaters instead of going direct to video, I am convinced without a doubt that “It Will Be Me” by Melissa Etheridge would have taken the song of the year Oscar. It is that moving and powerful. But I can’t use it because no character sings it on screen, and Melissa Etheridge sings it offscreen and she is not the singing voice of any of the characters. You want to see what I mean? Here is the shorten version that appears in the story, “It Will Be Me” The version that appears in the story

The full version that plays over the credits - “It Will Be Me” by Melissa Etheridge (full version)

@maridina​ four of the songs made it on. “The Bare Necessities” would have made it on too if mowgli hadn’t joined in at the end.

@dgranger ,

Thank you for updating the introduction.

Thanks, and believe or not, just before I had read this post, I just added “the adventures of Ichbod and mr. Toad” to the dark Disney poll and going to ask for a repush. I was thinking about classic horror stories all day scone I pulled out my book “The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde and other stories” and discovered that Adventures romance Novelist Robert Louis Stevenson wrote a few horror stories other than his adventure stories. Along with “Dr. Jeckyl and Mr.Hyde”, he wrote the horror suspense stories “The Body Snatcher” and “The Suicide club”

which have been turned into movies. And few more other than “Treasure Island” and “Kidnapped”.

but we’re you sending me vibes? We both thought of the same film on the same day?

@Pencho15​ they are all on. And Maridina also mentioned “Hakuna Matata” too. So you two are sharing the credit on that one.

@dgranger​ You can give full credit to Maridina. I just brought it back because I saw it was still missing.
