But... but... they sing it in English.

btw, I'm auto-liking every entry on the list, as a tribute to @chasmmi for putting on such a good show. It doesn't mean I approve of the song(s) in question.

I'm afraid people don't seem to realize there's a whole world of songs out there that have nothing to do with Disney

 

I realized it. It's just that I happen to love Disney songs so much, that I couldn't help but not put so many on my list.

i hope (and suspect) your list included a particular song from a particular Pixar movie

If it isn't from Toy Story, I can't say I'll please you all that much.

Eh unfortunately now, but now that I think about it, When She Loved Me would have been a  good choice for my list, but I'll admit, I made the list very quickly, so oh well.

Same. Most of these big community efforts deserve likes for the posts to reflect the big undertaking

Some of these are great choices, some of these not so much.  Just like any BOT list.

My list was written in a bit of a hurry, I'll admit. It wasn't that long, and I left off some songs, that I forget about. Sorry!

Nah its fine. I had it at numero uno so its guaranteed to show up

[4815162342]

If I had done a list I would only have included "original" songs. But I don't care as much about songs as I do about orchestral scores so I didn't submit a list.

[baumer]

Terrific job so far Chas....

 

Everything I do should be higher, much higher, pretty sure that was me that had it in the top ten.  And you can blame Canada for that song and for the song everyone loves to hate from Titanic.  

 

I wish I would have included the Gladiator song now...no idea why i forgot that one.

[Kalo]

More please.

The final song to not reach 30 points... 

122nd - 29 points (3 votes)

 

 

In Heaven - Eraserhead

 

Okay Xanadu, I apologise, all is forgiven because wtf in all that is holy was that?

 

I'm sorry I cannot add more to that but I need to move on people I just give up and begin sobbing in a corner somewhere.

121st - 30 points (2 votes)

 

 

Streets of Philadelphia - Philadelphia

 

The film that kicked off the era of Tom Hanks Oscar Domination (I think) and Springsteen gave us a film to match. Philadelphia kind of gets overshadowed by the Forrest Gumps and Saving Private Ryans of Hanks filmography but it shouldn't. It was a great and emotional film that deserved (and received) a great and emotional song.

A triple bill now...

 

=118th 30 points (2 votes, 1 top 10)

 

 

 

What's This - Nigthmare Before Christmas

Nightcall - Drive

Two Worlds - Tarzan

Oh Burton how we used to love you (even though as we all know this was not a Tim Burton film except, come on it clearly is  ). Nevertheless its a jaunty little number from a film that gets a lot of worthy praise followed by a lot of bemusement from those who haven't seen it that maybe get confused as to what time of year this film is for. IS it a Halloween film or a Christmas film? Still a good song though.

 

Nightcall is an opening credit song to a film I never got to see so I can't make too much comment on that one. Which leads us to Tarzan: the first film to appear twice on this list (Spoilers: it will only appear twice). I'm personally surprised that this beat out You'll be in my heart for Tarzan's number one and although I like both songs, I must say I am a little surprised by the (admittedly lower reaches of the chart) love that Tarzan received in this vote.  (For the record Son of Man ended in 152nd place and strangers like me was 178th).

Philadelphia's great song is the one by Neil Young and it's placement in the moive tears your heart out
