anyone know of any music inspired by disney?

[blueboxdoctor]

I was wondering if anyone knows of any music inspired by Disney that isn't made by Disney itself. So far I've only been able to find a few songs, with only one of them really showing off its Disney influence to the fullest. Fitting enough, the song is titled Fantasmic, so it's a big mash up of Disney films. They also have a song called Beauty and the Beast, and well yeah, I think you can figure out what it's about. But this isn't a thread to promote a band, rather I feel like there is so much material to go off of that it's really amazing there aren't more songs about it. I'd like to hear any if there happen to be any just to see other people's interpretation of the massive world of Disney. Here's my contribution to the thread, hope to see some more from others (sorry, it may not be hyperlinked, so just put it in the address bar):

There's the song Tragic Kingdom by Anaheim-based band No Doubt, which is all about Disneyland, and the same might be said about its accompanying album of the same name.

Lyrics:

Once was a magical place
Over time it was lost
Price increased the cost
Now the fortune of the kingdom
Is locked up in its dungeon vaults
The castle floor lies in traps
With coiled wired set back
Decoyed by old cheese
Now the drawbridge has been lifted
As the millions

They drop to their knees
They pay homage to a king
Whose dreams are buried
In their minds

His tears are frozen stiff
Icicles drip from his eyes
The cold wind blows as it snows
On those who fight to get in
On heads that are small
Disillusioned as they enter

They're unaware what's
Behind castle walls
But now it's written in stone
The king has been overthrown
By jesterly fools
And the power of the people
Shall come to believe they do rule
They pay homage to a king
Whose dreams are buried
In their minds
His tears are frozen stiff

Icicles drip from his eyes
Welcome to the tragic kingdom
Cornfields of popcorn
Have yet to spring open
Have they lost their heads
Or are they just all blind mice
We've heard all their stories
One too many times
Hypnotized by fireflies
That glow in the dark
Midgets that disquise themselves
As tiny little dwarfs

The parade that's electrical
It serves no real purpose
Just takes up a lot of juice
Just to impress us
They pay homage to a king
Whose dreams are buried
In their minds
His tears are frozen stiff

Icicles drip from his eyes
Welcome to the tragic kingdom
Cornfields of popcorn
Have yet to spring open

Not the cheeriest outlook for the parks, is it?

On a side note----Davinci's Notebook has several other great songs (some off-color) that showcase their vocal talents; these performances (recorded on the nationally syndicated "The Bob & Tom Show") can be found at bobandtom.com
