240 “YOUR CROWNING GLORY”
“Your Crowning Glory” is the disco-flavored number written by Larry
Grossman (music) and Lorraine Feather (lyric) for the film sequel The
Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004). Queen Clarissa (Julie Andrews)
sings the tribute to her granddaughter Mia (Anne Hathaway) at a
pajama party, stating that Mia’s heart of gold will be the crowning glory of
her reign. Mia’s friend Asana (Raven-Symoné) joins the queen in the song,
and soon all the girls are dancing to it.
“Your Heart Will Lead You Home” is the memorable folk song Kenny
Loggins wrote with Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman for the animated
film The Tigger Movie (2000). Over the closing credits of the movie, Loggins
and a chorus sing the number, about thinking of your friends so you
will always feel like you are home. The Loggins recording enjoyed some
popularity, and versions were made by Michael Crawford in 2001 and
Natalie Toro in 2003.
“Your Mother and Mine” is the lilting lullaby Wendy (voice of Kathryn
Beaumont) sings to the Lost Boys in the animated fantasy movie Peter Pan
(1953). Sammy Fain (music) and Sammy Cahn (lyric) wrote the tender
number about a mother’s love, which Wendy sings inside Peter’s hideout
while Captain Hook and the pirates quietly surround them. The song makes
her brothers Michael and John homesick, while outside the pirate Smee
weeps as he remembers his own mother. Doris Day made a distinctive
recording of the ballad with Paul Weston’s Orchestra.
“You’re an Ocean” is the driving rock song that Fastball wrote and sang
on the soundtrack of the television movie Motocrossed (2001). During the
opening credits for the film about teen motorcycle riders, Fastball sings
about a girl whose emotions are so stormy and wild she might as well be an
ocean unto herself.
“You’re Nothin’ but a Nothin’” is the taunting number written by Frank
Churchill and Bert Lewis for the Silly Symphony film short The Flying Mouse
(1934). When a mouse is magically given the power to fly, he finds that he
is rejected by both the birds and the other mice and is mocked by a bunch
of bats, who sing this creepy song belittling the poor fellow. The memorable
little ditty was published and enjoyed some popularity for a time.
“You’re Only Second Rate” is the daffy old-time duet two genies sing
in the made-for-video animated film The Return of Jafar (1994). Randy
