I have read some egregious fucking lists in my time but this one is off the scale.
Three examples
– Mother Knows Best from Tangled is number one. Huh?
– Absolutely nothing from Jungle Book till you get to 24.
– Surface Pressure from Encanto is better than When You Wish Upon A Star? SERIOUSLY?
I got this far before exploding.
Pretty damn sure this can be fixed.

Also I am assuming it’s cartoons only, hence nothing from Mary Poppins.
And what the hell is “What Makes The Red Man Red” doing here? When my kids were small I watched Peter Pan with them and to say that tune jumped out for all the wrong reasons is a serious understatement.
It does appear to be cartoons only.
Otherwise where TAF is ‘Bobbing Along’ from Bedknobs and Broomsticks?
The football match from that is pure gold.
In B a B both the sections you talk of are of course animated sections, these should have been included too.
Mary Poppins Supercali…… was also an animated segment so this could have been included too. However points are deducted for A Spoonful of Sugar as a model American robin was used, this still annoys 60 years on.
I worked the summer in a freezer factory in Woking with the older boy after that film. It was the only film part he ever got.
I haven’t seen Tangled so I’m assuming that Mother Knows Best is the Richard Thompson song about Margaret Thatcher.
I Wanna Be Like You is clearly the toppermost – scandalously low placing.
Also “Bare Necessities” (sic) is no. 37 when it should be top 5. Nothing from Dumbo either.
Probably best if “When I see an Elephant fly” is not included. Also anything from Song Of The South, even if “Zippity-do-dah” is an ear worm.
What’s wrong with WISAEF?
I don’t think he means the song but the characters that sing it.
Yes, HR, that was my point.
Completely agree. Lists, huh.
Anyone who wants a nice copy of the Jungle Book soundtrack, PM me. This list is pants. Phil Harris should be at the top.
All lists are as valid as any others. It’s worth noting that he used some sort of formula to come up with it. Also pretty weird to do that. Probably more interesting than just placing the obvious favourites at the top
Yes, but how can he put “Ev’rybody wants to be a cat” fourth from last – below not only much worse songs from all other films, but also below the – in comparison – dirge that is “Scales and arpeggios” from the same film???
When any fule knows that “Ev’rybody wants to be a cat” is absolute Top Five material!
I’m not going to read the rest of the list now, I don’t want to mess with my blood pressure.
These lists are compiled to generate discussion, so it’s done it’s work.
I wonder if an actual person (or panel of persons) compiled it, or if they just fed an algorithm into an AI bot and set it loose ..
Disney’s Dream Debased.
What utter bollocks – the bottom 10 are better than the Top 10. Who doesn’t love We Are Siamese – although no doubt today it is offensive in so many ways – maybe this list was compiled by the same people that called out Tom & Jerry for being too violent. Don’t get me started !
Generally a dreadful list. But glad that ‘Under the sea’ is at 17. Remember kids – “Everything’s better, down where it’s wetter!”
As the actress sang to the bishop.
‘There’ll be no accusations, just friendly crustaceans, under the sea…’
