Hey Eddie...are you related to Eddie Valiant from Roger Rabbit? ;)

Wasn't that song that Timon sang in TLK 1.5 a lot like WR? If so, then I like HK better.

Yes, the WR music was reworked to be a MR of sorts, for Timon to sing.

The original WR eventually ended up on the Timon & Pumbaa CD album.

One of my all time fav. Disney songs even though it's atraditional for them is "Will the Sun Ever Shine Again?" from Home on the Range.

Guess that's just the country boy coming out in me :)

You can also hear the song and see its storyboard sequence on the Lion King DVD.

Even though I already said this, I just want to say that I LOVE the song in Mickey and the Beanstalk that opens the film: "What a Happy Day."
It's one of those less-noticed songs that just shines every time you hear it. :wink:

Also I don't know if this exactly counts as a Disney song, but I really like the song Jessica sings in Roger Rabbit: "Why don't ya do right?" LOVE that part. The animation is spellbinding.

"Why Don't You Do Right" is actually an old-school "torch song", originally released, I believe, in either the late 1940s or early 1950s by Peggy Lee (yep, the same Peggy Lee that co-wrote and sang the songs in Lady And The Tramp a few years later).

So, Jessica's song is very much true to Roger's 1947 setting, but not a Disney original.
