Am I the first to mention [Be Prepared](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0AiN8vrn9Y) from the Lion King? One of the better villain songs of all time!

Hellfire is definitely one of my favorites. I only saw Hunchback once (and wasn’t a fan), but that song…wow. (The [Russian version](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP0bKhfbVKM) is pretty decent too, check it out!)

As far as Aladdin goes, I like [Friend Like Me](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd07uvkTeKo). [Arabian Nights](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEGlJP4X4vc) is also fun, despite the egregious cultural stereotypes.

I also like the [prologue](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9i3xWTEKIk) from Beauty and the Beast, which I realize isn’t really a song, but it’s pretty nonetheless.

ETA: Whoops, forgot to mention I’ll Make a Man out of You! Best workout song EVER.

I was waiting for this one. And Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride from Lilo and Stitch.

And a lot of the others listed.

[Blue Shadows](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-jOOFw-ITA) - Roy Rogers and The Sons of the Pioneers

And yeah, the Randy Neuman song featured in _Three Amigos_ ([here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HdlYVKBUVE&feature=related)) is suspiciously similar once you get to the chorus. We’ll call it an _homage_. 😉

Well, I’ve got two. And they barely count. They’re both from live-action films, and one of them was a licensed property.

One’s David Shire’s [Return to Oz Rag March](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7apjPncCOk), from _Return to Oz_. One of the nicer and least nightmare-inducing parts of a great score and an underrated movie.

The second is Disney’s own John Barry penned fight/heroism theme from _The Black Hole_, [“Laser”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gIt1T1Pk0g). I always loved The Black Hole; it’s like _Star Wars_ for melancholiacs. 😃

[**Perfect World**](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT4ySwoh27Q) from the only Disney animated movie worth watching - _the Emperor’s New Groove_, but only because [Kronk’s theme music](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv-sKP17xTw) doesn’t have lyrics.

It’s a song that has Tom Jones as an animated lounge singer named “Theme Song Guy” and a rhyme for “mesoamerican history”.

If covers counted, I’d include Souxie and the Banshees’ take on **Trust in Me** from _the Jungle Book_, but they don’t so I won’t.

I don’t know if “The Brave Little Toaster” counts as a Disney movie. But, if it does, then I want to mention the song “WORTHLESS”.

Surprisingly dark and _deep_ for a “kiddie” movie, I have always thought.
