98 “IN THE NAME OF THE HUNDRED ACRE WOOD”
which Mackenzie Phillips sings on the soundtrack over the opening credits.
The lyric, about being lost in a dark web of confusion on the other side of
paradise, reflects the mental state of the teen heroine of the series.
“In the Name of the Hundred Acre Wood” is the tuneful march song
by Carly Simon that is used throughout the animated film Pooh’s Heffalump
Movie (2005). During an expedition to hunt the mysterious Heffalumps,
Winnie the Pooh (voice of Jim Cummings) and his friends sing a brief
portion of the number every time they think they are cornering one of the
strange creatures. During the end credits of the movie, songwriter Simon
sings the complete song with a children’s chorus, asking what does one do
when something new comes across one’s path. The spirited number is also
listed as “What Do You Do?”
“Instant Muscle” is the recurring musical theme by Robert F. Brunner
that runs throughout the film The Strongest Man in the World (1975) as
a kind of pop leitmotif. A chorus sings the song about physical power, the
music moving from jazz to an Asian flavor and back again, throughout the
silly comedy about a breakfast cereal that imparts superhuman strength.
“Israel and Saul” is the intense opening number for the pageant-like musical
King David (1997), which the Disney company presented on Broadway
in its newly restored New Amsterdam Theatre. Saul (Martin Vidnovic) has
just been made king of Israel, and the people sing this song of celebration
while commentary and criticism of the new appointee are made by Joab
(Stephen Bogardus) and Samuel (Peter Samuel). Alan Menken wrote the
mysterious sounding music and Tim Rice provided the insightful lyrics.
“It Feels Like Christmas” is the felicitous holiday carol written by Paul
Williams for the movie The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992). The giantlike
Ghost of Christmas Present (voice of Jerry Nelson) sings the glowing
song as he takes Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine) through the streets of
London, where everyone, from workers to families to carolers, sings about
finding Christmas where you find love.
“It Will Be Me” is the reflective and moving ballad about feeling the presence
of those who are gone, written for the animated video sequel Brother
Bear 2 (2006) by Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil. After the Native
American Kenai has been transformed into a bear, he can no longer communicate
with his human sweetheart Nika, yet both still feel the presence
