“WHO’S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD WOLF?” 227
“Who Will I Be” is the sunny character song performed by teenager Mitchie
Torres (Demi Lovato) over the opening credits of the made-for-television
musical Camp Rock (2008). As she gets ready for school, Mitchie tries on
several outfits and hairdos she thinks might fit her personality for the day. The
bubblegum pop number was written by Matthew Gerrard and Robbie Nevil.
“Whoever You Are” is the tuneful saloon song Arabella Flagg (Suzanne
Pleshette) sings as she welcomes patrons to the Lucky Nugget Saloon during
the Gold Rush days in the film The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin
(1967). Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman wrote the rousing number,
which invites people of all walks of life from all over the globe to come in
and enjoy the entertainment.
“A Whole Bunch of World” is the satirical song about the fifty states
written by Cheri Steinkellner, Kevin Quinn, and Randy Petersen for the
animated movie Teacher’s Pet (2004). While the boy Leonard, his mother,
and his dog, Spot, drive to Florida in an RV, a soundtrack chorus sings this
rapid, country-flavored number about the many wonders of America. As
every state is mentioned in the song, a series of silly clichés about America
is illustrated with fast and furious panache.
“A Whole New World” is the expansive Oscar-winning song by Alan Menken
(music) and Tim Rice (lyric) that celebrates the exhilarating feeling of
freedom and blossoming love. In the animated film Aladdin (1992), Princess
Jasmine (singing voice of Lea Salonga) escapes the confines of the palace
and sees the world with Aladdin (Brad Kane), the two of them singing the
melodic ballad as they travel across the globe on a flying carpet. Peabo Bryson
and Regina Belle recorded a duet version of the song that was sung over
the film’s final credits and was very popular. Andrew Samonsky and Kaitlin
Hopkins also recorded the ballad as a duet, Earl Rose made a distinctive jazz
recording of the song in 2000, and Jessica Simpson recorded it in 2005.
“The Whoop-de-Dooper Bounce” is the funny and frantic song about
Tigger’s most complex and spectacular bounce in the animated film The
Tigger Movie (2000). Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman wrote the vigorous
number, which Tigger (voice of Jim Cummings) sings to the young Roo,
demonstrating how the wild bounce is achieved.
“Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?”—perhaps the most famous song to
come from a Disney film short—is the seemingly innocent children’s song
