You're the Only You

You're the Only You is a song from the Welcome to Pooh Corner Cable TV series which premiered in 1983 on the Disney Channel (which was also that channel's inaugural season). The song was written by the Academy Award winning songwriting duo of Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. The Sherman Brothers also wrote the majority of famous Winnie the Pooh songs including songs like, "The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers" and "Heffalumps and Woozles" from the 1960s. In 2000, the Sherman Brothers also famously wrote the score to The Tigger Movie.
==Song placement==
New episodes played from 1983-1986. Reruns continued to air until 1997. The Sherman Brothers wrote five songs, one for each of the major characters to sing, repeatedly each week. A storyline would "belong" to one character and at the end of an episode, the appropriate character would sing his "lesson song".
==About the song==
*"You're the Only You'" is sung by Tigger as his personal "theme song" specifically for this TV series. This is opposed to his widely accepted theme song in reference to the Winnie the Pooh franchise as a whole, i.e. "The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers" which was also written by the Sherman Brothers. "You're the Only You" is in a sense a more general derivation of Tigger's usual song, in which he asserts that "the wonderful thing about Tiggers is: I'm the only one".
*The lyric is constructed using Tigger's idiosyncratic manner of speech. Specifically, Tigger often ends a statement uttering short, repeated series of "hoo"s or "grrrr" (like a tiger growling).
==Lyrics==
You're the only you
And I'm the only me
No one in the world
Is quite the likes of we
Some may seem the same (Some may seem the same)
Have a similar name (Have a similar name)
But no one else can ever be (No one else can ever be)
The same as you
The same as me
The same as you
The same as me
Since you're the only one of you
With everything ya say and do
How ya act and how ya bounce
That's the stuff that really counts
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Look yourself right in the eye (Look yourself right in the eye)
Be proud of who ya see (Proud of who ya see)
Cause you're the only you
And I'm the only me
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
You, you, you, you, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow
It's whatcha do with whatcha got
And are ya really nice or not?
If you're thoughtful and you're true
No one can compare to you
Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Hold your head up high (Look yourself right in the eye)
Be proud of who ya see (Proud of who ya see)
Cause you're the only you-hoo-hoo-hoo (Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
Yoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
And I'm the only me
