Underrrated Disney Songs

When you think "iconic Disney songs" what do you think of? Songs like, "I'll Make a Man out of You","Part of Your World", "Cruella de Ville", and "Zipp-a-dee-doo-dah" instantly come to mind. Frankly, the entire Lion King or Frozen soundtrack come to mind for a lot of people. But there are so many other songs that are phenomenal that people forget about all the time. Especially when a movie has one very famous song (like Hercules' "I Can Go the Distance"), the other songs in the movie slide under the radar. But, fear not! I am here to remind you of some fantastic, underrated Disney jams. [side note: We are limiting this to animated Disney. Because otherwise that opens a whole High School Musical/ Enchanted/ Into the Woods/ Marry Poppins/ etc.. wormhole we could go down].

1) I Won't Say (I'm in Love) - Hercules

7) Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride - Lilo and Stitch
*I have very vivid memories as a young girl playing my Disney CD in my boom box and jamming hard to this song. Total banger.

8) Look Through My Eyes - Brother Bear
*I love this soundtrack. Can't say that enough. Disney never goes wrong when they bring Phil Collins on board.

9) When She Loved Me - Toy Story 2

10) Gitchee Gitchee Goo - Phineas and Ferb
 *okay, we're counting it. It's Disney. It's animated. And it's AWESOME. Undoubtedly deserves a place (in addition to the entire Phineas and Ferb soundtrack). Also shoutout to I Love You Mom, close second!

*I've already written an entire blog post about one of my favorite Disney songs/scenes of all time from the Aristocats movie (as seen here), so I had to leave it off this list, otherwise it would certainly have been added.
