“THE GRANDEST EASTER OF THEM ALL” 69<br />

song, filled with backup “bop bop bee bop” vocals, and it is sung by a male<br />

chorus over the opening credits.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Gospel Truth” is the vivacious opening song by Alan Menken<br />

(music) and David Zippel (lyric) for the animated film Hercules (1997).<br />

<strong>The</strong> mock-gospel number is sung by the Muses (voices of Lilias White, La<br />

Chanze, Tawatha Agee, Roz Ryan, Cheryl Freeman, and Vanessa Thomas)<br />

as they begin the adventure story, giving expositional information about the<br />

baby Hercules and setting the comic, anachronistic tone for the film.<br />

“Gotta Find You” is the lonely torch song about a young man who is looking<br />

for something special and unique, written by Adam Watts and Andy<br />

Dodd for the television musical Camp Rock (2008). Pop singer Shane Gray<br />

(Joe Jonas) of the music group Connect 3 is sent to be a counselor at Camp<br />

Rock to improve his bad-boy image. In this number, he tries to revamp his<br />

writing style to sound more like the music he wants to sing.<br />

“Gotta Fly” is the bubbly closing song for the television series Dumbo’s<br />

Circus (1985), which uses “puppetronics” to present a new adventure at the<br />

circus each week. Phillip Baron wrote the tuneful number, which is not about<br />

Dumbo’s ability to fly but rather explains to the audience that the show is over<br />

and the characters have to leave. A chorus sings the circus-like song while all<br />

the puppets pack up their things in the wagons and depart for another town.<br />

“Gotta Go My Own Way” is the pop duet for two sweethearts parting<br />

written by Andy Dodd and Adam Watts for the television movie High<br />

School Musical 2 (2007). When teenager Gabriella (Vanessa Anne Hudgens)<br />

realizes that her boyfriend Troy (Zac Efron) has changed since he<br />

has been spending time with his manipulating benefactress Sharpay Evans<br />

(Ashley Tisdale), she decides she can no longer be his girlfriend and sings<br />

this heartfelt pop ballad as she tells Troy they must break up. He pleads<br />

with her in song to not leave him, but Gabriella insists on going her own<br />

way.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Grandest Easter of <strong>The</strong>m All” is the sprightly holiday number<br />

that Randy Rogel (music and lyric) and Grant Geissman (lyric) wrote for<br />

the animated video Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo (2004). Rabbit<br />

(voice of Ken Sansom) has just about ruined Easter with all his rules about<br />

how to celebrate it, but he comes to his senses and sings this bubbly song<br />

as he quickly prepares eggs and decorations for his friends.
