No shame

I'll admit, if there is a lame part of this blog (and studies show that there is not), it's probably got to be the Playlist. On some level, I include it just to show off that I'm listening to pretentious hipster music. But I also feel that singing along in a terrible falsetto is one of the most endearing parts about doing the dishes, so I usually just put my iTunes on shuffle and hope that nothing embarrassing comes on.

Boy, did that backfire today when the first track to play was this memorable little gem:



When it comes to Disney movies, I generally prefer the villain songs (Ursella's "Poor Unfortunate Souls," Scar's "Be Prepared"). But this is the exception. "A Whole New World" from Disney's Aladdin is perhaps the best song from perhaps the best Disney movie. Anyone that grew up in the '90s (or raised kids in the decade (or isn't an asshole)) has memories attached to this one. Even people who are now convinced that all brown people are terrorists can't deny that Aladdin is, to use the lingo of the time, the bomb. No diggity.

My personal favorite moment? The bird squawk. Which I sing. Every time. Even though it's not on the recording.
