You can help by adding to it. ( June 2014 ) Synopsis I 've Got a Dream is performed by a bunch of pub - dwellers who initially intimidate Rapunzel and Flynn, but they eventually bond over their shared desire for more in their lives. The song revolves around the notion that `` ' Thugs ' means, ' criminals who are basically misunderstood '. '' Critical reception ComingSoon said the song was `` memorable for the silly barbarians ''. Purity and Precision says that in regard to the dreams of the thugs, `` Note the traditionally feminine nature of most of those activities, just as an aside ( masculine = bad, feminine = good ). The message ? Well, for one thing, you can escape from vicious thugs by telling them about your dream and appealing to their `` humanity ''... and criminals are victims of social prejudice who, despite their persistent interest in all things criminal, are really basically good people. ``. In regard to the lyrics quality of the song, for example `` rhym ( ing ) ' femurs ' and ' dreamers ' and has a line that goes, ' I 've got scars and lumps and bruises / plus something here that oozes ' '', Vulture commented : `` Very nice ''. On the men 's desires, BitchFlicks wrote `` Even tough guys have nuance and feminine qualities ! ''. The Independent Critic deemed it `` very Enchanted like '' The Dive Review said `` If Tangled 's laughs resemble anything, it 's probably closest to the absurd, surreal comedy of Monty Python 's Flying Circus, particularly moments like the big `` I 've Got a Dream '' production number ``. TheScoreCard wrote `` '' I 've got a dream '' is the only song I will be able to remember. I appreciate it even if it 's grammatically incorrect. It 's fast and fun. It reminds me of `` Gaston '' from Beauty and the Beast ``. The site also said it was the best scene. WeAreMovieGeeks wrote `` Luckily `` I 've Got a Dream '' is livened up by some great animation of the forest thugs. I found it distracting that these medieval folks were using modern phrases like `` downer '' and `` freak - out ''. Perhaps I 'm nitpicking too much. '' WhatCulture said `` Another very funny sequence sees a group of murderous ruffians burst into a brilliant song called `` I 've Got a Dream '', in which they all state that they 'd rather become interior decorators or concert pianists than tough fighters. It is a song that recalls Howard Ashman 's lyrics for `` Gaston '' in Beauty and the Beast as much as the animated sequence channels Monty Python and Mel Brooks. '' FilmTracks wrote `` At least there 's no yodeling in `` I 've Got a Dream '' ( behold Home on the Range for that pleasure ), and Moore 's contribution actually works well when mixed with all the colorful secondary voices.
