The Music of Disney - A Legacy in Song

I picked up the gift box set from the Disney Store last night. Price was around
$50, and another record store had it for $46. I liked the collection, but most
of the songs are found on other CDs. The new ones aren't that exciting if you
aren't into Disney. The book is nice, but again nothing new.

Disk One - The Early Animation

"Turkey in the Straw" - Steamboat Willie, 1928
	Original Soundtrack, with unrecognizable sound effects. Kind of scratchy
	sounding, but enjoyable.
"Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" - Three Little Pigs, 1933
	Book says isn't original soundtrack, since all of the song isn't in the
	short. This version is the famous one from the released album.
"Heigh-Ho" - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, 1937
"Whistle While You Work" - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, 1937
"Someday My Prince Will Come" - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, 1937
"When You Wish Upon a Star" - Pinocchio, 1940
"Give A Little Whistle" - Pinocchio, 1940
"Dance of the Reed Flutes" - Fantasiia, 1940
"Baby Mine" - Dumbo, 1941
"Love is a Song" - Bambi, 1942
"Little April Shower" - Bambi, 1942
"Saludos Amigos" - Saludos Amigos, 1943
"You Belong to My Heart" - The Three Caballeros, 1944
"Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" - Song of the South, 1946
"Ev'rybody Has a Laughing Place" - Song of the South, 1946
	Soundtrack recording. 
"The Lord is Good To Me" - Melody Time, 1948
	This is from the Johnny Appleseed section.
"Lavendar Blue (Dilly, Dilly)" - So Dear To My Heart, 1949
"A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" - Cinderella, 1950
"Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" - Cinderella, 1950
"I'm Late" - Alice in Wonderland, 1951
"The Unbirthday Song" - Alice in Wonderland, 1951
"The Second Star to The Right" - Peter Pan, 1953
"You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!" - Peter Pan, 1953
"Bella Notte" - Lady and The Tramp, 1955
"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty, 1959
"Cruella De Vil" - 101 Dalmatians, 1961
"Higitus Figitus" - The Sword in the Stone, 1963
	This is the original recording, and IMHO better than what made it into
	the film. Extra lyrics and different tempos.

Disk Two - The Later Animation

"Supercala..." - Mary Poppins, 1964
"A Spoonful of Sugar" - Mary Poppins, 1964
"Chim Chim Cher-ee" - Mary Poppins, 1964
	This is the extended version with the lyrics where Bert looks up the
	chimney.
"Winnie The Pooh" - Winnie The Pooh and the Honey Tree, 1966
"The Bare Necessities" - Jungle Book, 1967
"I Wan'na Be Like You" - Jungle Book, 1967
"The Aristocats" - The Aristocats, 1970
"Ev'rybody Wants to Be A Cat" - The Aristocats, 1970
"The Age of Not Believing" - Bedknobs and Broomsticks, 1971
"Nobody's Problems" - Bedknobs and Broomsticks, 1971
	This song was cut from the final film. This recording is Angela Lansbury
	and a piano, and is a demo track. The song is kind of melencholy, and
	the lyrics indicate Miss Price is missing Mr. Browne. She says that it  
	is nobody's problems that she misses him. I would imagine it would fit
	in the movie after he has left to go back to London, and before she sees
	the German troops.
"Oo-De-Lally" - Robin Hood, 1973
"Someone's Waiting For You" - The Rescuers, 1977
"Candle on the Water" - Pete's Dragon, 1977
"Best of Friends" - The Fox and The Hound, 1981
"Perfect Isn't Easy" - Oliver and Company, 1988
	I was surprised this song was included, and not "Why Should I Worry".
	They mention "Once Upon A Time in New York City" by Ashman and Menken,
	as if it was going to be included.
"Part of Your World" - The Little Mermaid, 1989
"Under The Sea" - The Little Mermaid, 1989
"Kiss The Girl" - The Little Mermaid, 1989
"Be Our Guest" - Beauty and the Beast, 1991
"Beauty and the Beast" - Beauty and the Beast, 1991

Disk Three - Live Action, Television and Theme Parks

"A Whale of a Tale" - 20000 Leagues Under The Sea, 1954
	Kirk Douglas in a recording. It's been awhile, but I don't think it's
	the soundtrack recording.
"Old Yeller" - Old Yeller, 1957
"Pretty Irish Girl" - Darby O'Gill and the Little People, 1959
	Sean Connery in a demo recording. Not at all bad because I expected the
	worst. But I can see why they replaced him. He isn't a trained singer,
	and you can tell.
"The Parent Trap" - Parent Trap, 1961
	Annette Funicello and Tommy Sands
"Castle In Spain" - Babes in Toyland, 1961
	Ray Bolger (You know - the Scarecrow)
"Enjoy It" - In Search of the Castaways, 1962
	Maurice Chevalier and Hayley Mills

	Burl Ives
"The Monkey's Uncle" - The Monkey's Uncle, 1965
	Annette Funicello and The Beach Boys
"That Darn Cat" - That Darn Cat, 1965
	Not the version in the film, but the one recorded by Bobby Troup that
	was released and was a hit single.
"Fortuosity" - The Happiest Millionaire, 1967
"Mickey Mouse Club March" - Mickey Mouse Club, 1955
"I'm No Fool" - Mickey Mouse Club, 1956
	Cliff Edwards reprises the role of Jiminy Cricket, 16 years later

"Wonderful World of Color (Main Title)" - WD's Wonderful World of Color, 1961
"The Spectrum Song" - Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, 1961
	Ludwig Von Drake in a cool song, and a spoof on a previous song in the
	collection.
"The Ballad of Davy Crockett" - Davy Crockett, 1955
"The Swamp Fox" - The Swamp Fox, 1959
	Leslie Nielsen believe it or not.
"The Wonderful World of Disney (Main Title)" - Wonderful World of Disney, 1968
