“La La Lu” is the warm and entrancing lullaby written by Sonny Burke<br />

and Peggy Lee for the animated movie Lady and the Tramp (1955). <strong>The</strong><br />

new mother Darling (singing voice of Peggy Lee) sings the quiet number to<br />

the newborn in her arms as the canine Lady comes into the bedroom and<br />

sees the infant for the first time. Jane Sherberg made a graceful recording<br />

of the lullaby.<br />

“Lack of Education” is the brief song of instruction the wise old owl Big<br />

Mama (voice of Pearl Bailey) sings in the animated film <strong>The</strong> Fox and the<br />

Hound (1981). Jim Stafford wrote the hillbilly-flavored number, which Big<br />

Mama sings to the young fox Tod to make him understand that his best<br />

friend, the hound dog Copper, has been trained to hunt foxes.<br />

“Ladies in the Sky” is the pleasing cowboy ballad written by George<br />

Bruns for the television series <strong>The</strong> Saga of Andy Burnett (1957), which<br />

was shown on the weekly program <strong>Disney</strong>land. <strong>The</strong> flowing number is not<br />

about women, but is rather a love song to the giant mountains out West that<br />

fill the sky. Pioneer Andy Burnett (Jerome Courtland) sings how he misses<br />

those mountains and will remain faithful to them, dreaming of the day he<br />

will return to the “ladies” in the sky.<br />
