Okay... so I've recently discovered a wonderful world of unreleased Disney songs. And my only question is... whyyy?! Why would Disney decide to not use such fantastic pieces?! Just take a look at these four, which are absolutely superb:


1) "Babkak, Omar, Aladdin, Kassim", from Aladdin. Originally, Aladdin was supposed to have three friends with him (I'm gonna let you guess what their names were ;D), and this was their introduction. A vaudeville-like number, which sounds oh so good! Luckily, it was implemented in the Broadway musical version, and Kassim ultimately was named Aladdin's father in the third film.

2) "High Adventure", also from Aladdin. Because Aladdin's three friends were removed from the film, naturally this song was also scrapped. I assume this happens right after the Genie gets unleashed from the lamp. Either that, or after something happens to Jasmine. Nonetheless, it's a great song. Again, thank the musical version for bringing it back.

3) "I'm Odd", from Alice in Wonderland. It was supposed to be sung by the Cheshire Cat, about...well...how odd he is. It was later replaced by the Cat singing the beginning of "Twas Brilling" poem, because Disney didn't want to put the Jabberwocky himself so at least he wanted to nod to the poem. Oh well, in my opinion this song fits the Cheshire Cat much better.

4) "Snuff Out the Light", from Emperor's New Groove. Originally, this song was made for the working title of the story, Kingdom of the Sun, which was a Mesoamerican re-telling of Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper. It featured a selfish emperor, which finds a peasant that looks exactly like him, and they switch places. Meanwhile, an evil witch wants to find a way to stay young forever, so she decides to cover the Sun with the help of evil spirits. Ultimately, it changed into the story we know, about the emperor transformed into a llama, and this song was scrapped since it had no relation to the plot. And it's a real shame, because this is a Disney Villain Song, which 8/10 times is the best one in the whole movie. Just tell me you don't jam to the music and the voice of late Eartha Kitt when listening to this?


So, what about you guys? Ever found a song you wish was featured in a film?
