Leave Jodi Benson alone! The times that I've seen her to do the Ariel voice she still sounded good! I also always played music over top kingdom hearts and just paused during the cutscenes.

I expected it to make the Top 5, but I'm pleasantly surprised by this result. I'll Make a Man Out of You is surely next.

Into the Top 10 we go!

Under The Sea

8.61

Highest Score: 10 x15 (@GimmeWork, @Daniel!, @iheartpoptarts, @Mushroom, @Lost Boy, @Sideout, @Weslicious, @constantino, @2014, @aniraz, @Serg., @GhettoPrincess, @HollyDunnSomething, @Reboot, @MamaHazey)
Lowest Score: 1 x1 (@send photo), 3 x1 (@Sprockrooster)
My Score: 9

The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin’ sharp

The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
(Yeah!)

The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin’ out
The blackfish she sings

Yikes. Moving on, swiftly. Our first cut into the Top 10 leaves Part of Your World as The Little Mermaid’s sole hope for the musical crown – quelle surprise, talent always wins and all that. Our crustacean chanteuse put up a damn good fight to get here though; early low scores from send photo and Sprockrooster left ha floundering (kii) down in the mid twenties for a long time, and it was only the last few voters who lifted this Caribbean calypso into the Top 10. I won’t lie to y’all, watching this effectively switch places with I Won’t Say (I’m In Love) at the last minute was one of the most stressful experiences I’ve had as a rate host. Under The Sea issa bop and a half though, so I’ve come to terms with it. It’s a classic for a reason, y’know? A short, simple, endlessly-enjoyable burst of fun brought to life with an over-the-top charismatic performance and one of the liveliest, most colourful scenes in Disney herstory. The elderly white powers that be seemed to love it too, as it won both the Academy Award for Best Original Song and the corresponding Grammy – Under The Sea basically paved the way for Disney to dominate those categories for the next decade. Hamilstans (Staniltons?) have extra reason to celebrate this song too; Lin-Manuel Miranda claims that seeing this scene in The Little Mermaid as a kid changed his life forever and ignited his love for musicals. Fast forward 28 years and now he’s re-recording it for the live-action remake. Sebastian ha impacT.

Part of the reason I couldn’t possibly give Under The Sea a 10 though… it suffers from the same affliction as Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo. The Kingdom Hearts curse.

That two-minute clip on repeat for hours…

Isn’t nearly as offensive as what they did in Kingdom Hearts II.

That’s actually Jodi Benson voicing Ariel.

‘twas not Ursula, but time who stole her voice in the end, poor soul.

DJHazey thinks the song itself has suffered a bit of wear and tear: “When I was younger and we played this cassette tape on like every car trip, I lived for every word. Don't get me wrong, it's still incredibly fun, but it just seems too much like nonsense for me give it top marks today.” LKane’s lost a bit of love for Sebastian’s soothing tones too: “This is one of the songs that you’ll hear everywhere and then you’ll just get tired of it. But of course I admit the great effort that Howard Ashman did with this song and the entire soundtrack. This is a classic now and I recognize it. It’s just that I don’t like it.” Sheesh, let him down gently why don’t ya. Quick, lighten the mood iheartpoptarts! “Most Disney movies seem to have that one ridiculously happy song and I love it.” You’re rapidly running out of fun songs left, huh? Sorry ‘bout that, we’re all miserable. Oh hey, it’s Sprockrooster: “Love the beat. Hate that vocal delivery.” MamaHazey wants a word with you sis: “Calypso Sebastian is a great character and the beat to this song is infectious.” Okay thankfully I think we’re almost outta negative comments now; just one more from send photo: “Yeesh, I forgot this one was problematic.”

“Another classic.” Reboot celebrates, “I love the lyrics in particular.” Yeah, if anyone needed further proof of Howard Ashman’s genius, look no further than him rhyming under the sea with en fricassee. Nicotine/Hero-een/Morphine hew? Mina: “A fun romp.”, GhettoPrincess: “This song just makes me so happy.” and MollieSwift21: “So much fun! The animation of all the sea creatures jamming!” stay getting their lives, while 2014 gives us another insight into his: “ddddd all my secrets are coming out but when I was in a singing group I sang this and it's really hard to sing, but I had to give it a 10. #Disneyimpact2.0” Can I book you to perform at the finale of the rate? Keep your diary free for Summer 2027 please. Raichu acknowledges how far ahead of its time Disney were: “A true tropi-bop. One of Disney’s best fun songs.” The people agree! The usually-PG-certified GimmeWork leaves me a bit perplexed and potentially shook with what might be double-entendre: “Important life lessons – ‘It's better down where it's wetter!’, but there’s no doubt in my mind what eccentricsimply’s alluding to: “’Baby it's better, down where it's wetter’ Hehe” IN THE DISNEY RATE? kimwoodburn_filth.gif, the both of you. In an amazing twist of fate, here’s Subwaykid rejoicing the truth: “Sebastian had the tea.” Yas. Last, but never least, here’s my boo constantino being ridiculously extra as always: “Nawt Miss Sebastian SLAYING the youtube game like this and leaving the other Disney gorls SHAKING. A classic.”

This should've placed somewhere between 6-8, 10 is too low compared to some of the other songs left.

Suddenly our mojo is back. That's two concurrent rates where we are both rooting the same way. It's truly uncanny.

It's just fabulously well-crafted and it's gone on to completely transcend its soundtrack status in a way only a select handful have.
