142 “NO WAY OUT”
human Tarzan is not of their kind and must be banished from the ape tribe.
Kala protests throughout the song, but Kerchak argues that he has no other
choice, so Kala decides to move away with the boy.
“No Way Out” is the sorrowful song of regret Phil Collins wrote for the
animated movie Brother Bear (2003), about an Inuk hunter who is turned
into a bear. After the once-human Kenai (voice of Joaquin Phoenix) confesses
to the bear cub Koda (Jeremy Suarez) that, when he was a human,
he killed the young cub’s mother, Collins sings this tender yet disturbing
folk song about how regret puts one in a dark place from which there is no
escape. The number is also listed as “Theme from Brother Bear.”
“Nobody Else but You” is the rolling song of affection between father
and son in the animated film A Goofy Movie (1995). After a family road
trip fraught with mishaps, Max (singing voice of Aaron Lohr) and his father,
Goofy (Bill Farmer), find themselves floating down a river on top of their
submerged car, and they admit to each other in song that, despite their

“Nobody’s Problems for Me” is the wistful character song written by
Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman for the film fantasy Bedknobs and

she regrets losing him, but tells herself in song that she is happiest on
her own and doesn’t want the worry of caring for someone else too much.
The brief but potent number was restored in the 1996 reconstruction of
the film.
“Not in Nottingham” is the country-blues ballad Roger Miller wrote
and sang in the animated adventure film Robin Hood (1973). When the
vengeful Prince John again raises the taxes, the people of Nottingham are
destitute, and many are thrown into debtors’ prison—including the rooster
troubadour Alan-a-Dale (voice of Roger Miller), who sings the folk-like lament
about every place having more ups than downs, except Nottingham.
“Not Me” is a revealing character song Elton John (music) and Tim Rice
(lyric) wrote for the Broadway musical Aida (2000). The Egyptian captain
Radames (Adam Pascal) surprises himself, sparing the Nubians because he
