150 “ONE JUMP”<br />

“One Jump” is the frantic “I am” song for the title “street rat” in the<br />

animated film Aladdin (1992). Alan Menken (music) and Howard Ashman<br />

(lyric) wrote the light-footed number, which Aladdin (voice of Brad Kane)<br />

sings as he dodges angry merchants and runs away from the sultan’s guards<br />

through the streets of Agrabah. Later, in a quieter moment in the movie,<br />

Aladdin reprises the song, revealing his hopes of bettering his lot someday.<br />

Debbie Shapiro Gravitte made a noteworthy recording of the song in<br />

1994.<br />

“One Last Hope” is the comic character song for the satyr Philoctetes<br />

(voice of Danny DeVito) written by Alan Menken (music) and David Zippel<br />

(lyric) for the animated film Hercules (1997). Although the hero-trainer<br />

“Phil” has prepared many strong and brave men in the past, none of them<br />

has become a superhero. He sings to Hercules that the attempt to train him<br />

to become a hero will be his last.<br />

“One Moment” is the emotionally charged song about friendship written by<br />

Brahm Wenger for the movie sequel Air Bud: Golden Receiver (1998). During<br />

the closing credits of the film, Melinda Myers sings the heartfelt ballad<br />

about having someone at your side you can depend on, echoing the thoughts<br />

of the young football player Josh and his canine teammate, Buddy.<br />

“One More Sleep Till Christmas” is the yearning list song Paul Williams<br />

wrote for the film <strong>The</strong> Muppet Christmas Carol (1992). After Scrooge<br />

leaves his office, Bob Cratchit, played by Kermit the Frog (voice of Steve<br />

Whitmire), and a band of bookkeeping rats close up shop and sing the<br />

happy number that lists all the things to look forward to on Christmas Day.<br />

A bit later in the film, Bob Cratchit and his young son Tiny Tim (Jerry<br />

Nelson) reprise a scat version of the song, titled “Christmas Scat,” as Bob<br />

carries his son through the streets of London.<br />

“One of a Kind” is the jazzy number about being a unique individual from<br />

the made-for-video animated sequel 101 Dalmatians II: Patch’s London<br />

Adventure (2003). Noko, Trevor Gray, Richard Gibb, Howard Gray, and<br />

Mel Leven wrote the raspy song, which was sung by Apollo 440 over the<br />

closing credits of the video.<br />

“One of Us” is the uncomfortable song of mob psychology written by Tom<br />

Snow (music) and Jack Feldman (lyric) for the video sequel <strong>The</strong> Lion King
