196 “THAT’S HOW YOU KNOW”
(2004). While he stands guard to protect the meerkat colony from hyenas,
the misfit Timon dreams of a place to live where there are no predators and
life is more fulfilling. The catchy pop song is also heard over the end credits
for the video. Elton John (music) and Tim Rice (lyric) wrote the song as
“Warthog Rhapsody” for the original film The Lion King (1994), but it was
replaced by “Hakuna Matata.”
“That’s How You Know” is the upbeat calypso number by Alan Menken
(music) and Stephen Schwartz (lyric) that was used with panache in the
movie Enchanted (2007) for one of the biggest and most complex musical
numbers in contemporary Disney films. The fairy tale heroine Giselle (Amy
Adams) sings to the too-practical lawyer Robert (Patrick Dempsey) as they
stroll through Central Park that there are many romantic ways for him to
let his fiancée know that he loves her. Soon others in the park pick up on
the song and street musicians, senior citizens, break-dancers, brides and
bridegrooms, children, and hundreds of others are singing and dancing in
celebration. The Oscar-nominated song was recorded by Demi Lovato.
“That’s So Raven” is the rock-rap title song written by John Coda for the
2003 television series about a girl who can see into the future. Raven (Raven-Symoné)
and her friends Chelsea (Anneliese van der Pol) and Eddie
(Orlando Brown) sing the throbbing number, about seeing the future and
how it can be scary, over the opening credits. Raven-Symoné also made a
music video of the song.
“That’s the Life” is the fervent “I am” song for the Spider (voice of Susan
Sarandon), Earthworm (David Thewlis), Glow Worm (Miriam Margolyes),
Grasshopper (Simon Callow), Lady Bug (Jane Leeves), and Centipede
(Richard Dreyfuss) in the part-live-action, part-stop-motion movie James
and the Giant Peach (1996). When the orphaned James (Paul Terry) goes
inside the giant peach, he meets the critters for the first time, and they sing
this fun and frenetic song by Randy Newman about each of their hopes and
dreams. James suggests they all go to New York City, where these dreams
can come true, and they then sing about the wonderful life they will have
there.
“That’s What Friends Are For” is the harmonizing chorale number,
reminiscent of a barbershop quartet piece, that was written by Richard M.
and Robert B. Sherman for the animated movie The Jungle Book (1967).
The Indian youth Mowgli (voice of Bruce Reitherman) comes upon a trio of
