“SOMEBODY RUBBED OUT MY ROBIN” 179
“So This Is Love” is the soft and reticent love song for Cinderella (voice
of Ilene Woods) and the Prince (Mike Douglas) when they first meet and
start dancing in the animated movie Cinderella (1950). Mack David, Jerry
Livingston, and Al Hoffman wrote the number, which begins as a lush waltz
as the two dance, then becomes more tentative as the two lovers remove
themselves from the ballroom and have a quiet moment together while
singing the romantic lyric. The song replaced an earlier number, titled
“Dancing on a Cloud,” in which the two lovers literally danced up into
the heavens. Ashley Brown made a warm recording with backup vocals by
Meredith Inglesby, Andy Karl, Tyler Maynard, and Keewa Nurullah, and
the song was also recorded by the Cheetah Girls.
“So to Be One of Us” is the lively list song the group They Might Be Giants
wrote for the animated film sequel Return to Never Land (2002). When
Wendy’s daughter, Jane, is kidnapped by Captain Hook and taken to Never
Land, she attempts to become like the Lost Boys. But the boys (voices of
Jonnie Hall, D. J. Harper, Nils Montan, Wally Wingert, Lauren Wood, and
Bobbi Page) find Jane too girlish, too clean, and too well behaved, and give
her instructions in song on how to be more like them.
“Some Day My Prince Will Come” is the plaintive song of yearning Snow
White (voice of Adriana Caselotti) sings to the dwarfs and some curious animal
friends as she dreams of Prince Charming in the animated movie Snow
White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). Frank Churchill composed the flowing,
operetta-like music and Larry Morey wrote the simple but poignant
lyric. Among those who have recorded the song are Lena Horne, Mary
Martin, Barbara Cook, Kaitlin Hopkins, Ashley Tisdale, Barbara Hendricks
and the Abbey Road Ensemble, the Cheetah Girls, Anastacia, En Vogue,
and Barbra Streisand. The number has been a particular favorite of jazz
artists, with recordings by Dave Brubeck, the Manhattan Jazz Quintet, the
Chet Baker Trio, Wynton Kelly, Great Jazz Trio, Jazz Networks, Earl Rose,
and Miles Davis.
“Somebody Rubbed Out My Robin” is the comic character song for the
sexy bird Jenny Wren (voice of Martha Wentworth) that Frank Churchill
wrote for the Silly Symphony movie short Who Killed Cock Robin? (1935).
After Jenny has witnessed the murder of her love, Cock Robin, she melodramatically
sings, in a funny caricature of Mae West, of her grief and her
demand for justice.
