“RUMBLY IN MY TUMBLY” 167
their differences when George saves Walter’s life, and the two later harmonize
together with this tender song. Stan Jones wrote the graceful music
and Lawrence Edgar Watkin penned the melancholy lyric about the lonely
life of an explorer and how it compares to the ambling journey of a lonely
river.
“Roses and Rainbows” is the confident song of liberation written by
Marvin Hamlisch (music) and Carole Bayer Sager (lyric) for the movie The
Devil and Max Devlin (1981). Would-be star Stella Summers (Julie Budd)
has overcome her lack of confidence, no longer needs the devil’s assistant,
Max (Elliott Gould), to promote her career, and sings this eager song about
taking both the good and the bad in life and understanding it is okay to be
alone sometimes. Budd also made a record of the song.
“The Rough, Tough, Burly Sailor Song” is the slightly satirical sea
chantey written by Michael and Patty Silversher for an episode of the animated
television series Disney’s Adventures of the Gummi Bears (1985).
While some citizens of Gummi Glen build a ship and prepare to make it
seaworthy, they sing this happy number and profess to be rugged sailors
who eat gummiberry pies and burly barley stew, but admit they don’t know
where they are sailing to.
“Round My Family Tree” is the farcical song Richard M. and Robert B.
Sherman wrote for the animated film The Tigger Movie (2000). As Tigger
(voice of Jim Cummings) sings about the glorious ancestors of the Tigger
family, his imagination sees them playing important roles throughout history.
His reverie climaxes in a spectacular Las Vegas–like show with Tiggers
of all kinds performing.
“Rumbly in My Tumbly” is the simple song about Winnie the Pooh’s continual
craving for honey, his favorite food. Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman
wrote the lighthearted ditty for Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree
(1966), the first of many film shorts based on A. A. Milne’s characters.
