Little Mermaid Music Soundtrack |best| -

A romantic, aquatic doo-wop ballad. Sebastian serenades Eric and Ariel as they float in a boat, encouraging Eric to kiss her. The backing vocals (the "shalalalalala" chorus) are infectious. It is sensual, sweet, and brilliantly staged.

Winner of the Academy Award for Best Original Song, this calypso/Caribbean number is pure joy. Sebastian the crab argues that life on land is terrible compared to the vibrant safety of the ocean. The arrangement is complex, featuring steel drums, brass, and a walking bass line. It is impossible to listen to this song without tapping your foot. little mermaid music soundtrack
