I remember being in sixth grade choir and we did a new disney medley of songs plus it was the most fun I had in choir. Arabian Evenings, Become Our Guest, Kiss the Girl, Beneath the Sea would be the ones that arrived at memory from them. They have to bring some with the movies out of that damn Disney vault.
