The couple then gives it a quiet and heartfelt rendition. The song is reprised
at a faster and less sincere tempo by the drama queen Sharpay (Ashley Tisdale),
who steals the song (and Troy) for her own use. Near the end of the
film, the ballad is sung again by Troy and Gabriella as they are reunited after
being separated by Sharpay.
“You Belong to My Heart” is the hit ballad that Mexican singing star
Dora Luz sings to Donald Duck in the part-animation, part-live-action
travel film The Three Caballeros (1944). The alluring serenade is based on
the Mexican song “Solamente Una Vez,” by Augustin Lara, and was given
an English lyric by Ray Gilbert for the movie. The ballad immediately
caught on and has been frequently recorded, the most popular disc being
one by Bing Crosby with Xavier Cugat’s Orchestra. Paula Kelly and the
Modernaires also recorded it, Andy Russell made versions in English and
Spanish, years later Englebert Humperdinck had a top-selling version of
the number, and Spanish opera singer José Carreras also made a disc. The
song is featured in the Disney short Pluto’s Blue Note (1947), Tito Guizar
sings it in the Roy Rogers movie The Gay Ranchero (1948), and Ezio Pinza
sings it in his film debut in Mr. Imperium (1951).

debuted on the 1983 Disney album Mickey Mouse Splashdance, where it
was performed by Lora Mumford of the Disney rock band Halyx.
“You Can Do It” is the insistent rhythm number written by Stanley A.
Smith and Jilien Manges for the film comedy Jungle 2 Jungle (1997), about
teenager Mimi-Siku (Sam Huntington), raised in the Venezuelan jungle,
going to New York City with his dad (Tim Allen). In Manhattan, Mimi-Siku
comes across a street band, complete with steel drums, and the music so
enthralls the teen that he uses it to teach his uptight father how to relax and
dance. The Sha Shees provided the vocals for the pulsating number.
“You Can Fly, You Can Fly, You Can Fly” is the exhilarating song by
Sammy Fain (music) and Sammy Cahn (lyric) that is used so effectively in
the animated movie Peter Pan (1953). After Peter (voice of Bobby Driscoll)
