Little Mermaid song lyric question

[Lauriebar]

And after all dear, what is idle babble for?

At the risk of raising the ire of the great and powerful Woody, I'm gonna have to stick with prattle on this one. What is your "official source"?

P.S. It took a lot of courage on my part to challange you Woody, as you scare the bejesus out of me!!!:lookaroun

Lyric books are often "official. . . "

Who wants to call Alan Menken??

It wouldn't help to call him.

Howard Ashman wrote the lyrics for "Poor Unfortunate Souls". The lyric in question is, "The men up there don't like a lot of blabber". Alan Menken wrote the music.

But alas, Howard Ashman is no longer with us. . .

It won't do any good to call him either.

this reminds me of a discussion i had with some friends a long time about a lyric in "Colors of the Wind"...
my one friend thought Pocahontas said: "Whether they are white or colored skin..." i thought the lyric was "white or copper skinned" i still stand by what i though....anyone else run into this same lyric issue? or is it just me? :hammer:

p.s....i think it was "blabber"

It's copper skinned...

Well - I listened to it again and I STILL think it says "blather" regardless of what the printed lyrics say. I'm glad there are at least a few others who hear that "th" sound too.

A-yup. It's so self-evident that she makes the "th" sound I can't even fathom why people hear a "b" sound! :hammer:

Another HUGE fan of LM - and good friend of mine - couldn't fathom either what the whole "blabber" thing was about either.

The dvd might contain the word "blabber" in the captions (see the photo I took of it in my earlier post) but you'll never convince me that's what she actually sings. It's clearly blather.

Yep, this is as clear as the lyrics to "Louie Louie"!:lol: :lol: :lol:

Here's the "official" lyric:

URSULA
You'll have your looks, your pretty face.
And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha!

The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
Yet on land it's much prefered for ladies not to say a word
And after all dear, what is idle babble for?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man

And, after all, dear, what is idle PRATTLE for?
