Yes. Dig a Little Deeper I find a bit annoying and obnoxious.I think he means "Friends on the Other Side."

For me it would be:If I were to rank the PatF songs:
1. Almost There (a song I get in my head when I'm trying to finish a difficult task)
2. My Belle Evangeline
3. Friends on the Other Side
4. Going Down the Bayou
5. Down in New Orleans
6. Dig A Little Deeper
7. When We're Human
Even if it wouldn't fit in the ride, "My Belle Evangeline" should definitely be an instrumental piece in the queue. Would fit nice with the nighttime scenery.
Okay, so … not a book report ride. A side story with some overlapping characters.
I don't like the instrumentation in those non-chorus parts either.He’s a much better instrumentalist than he is a lyricist.

And then the rest.
Incredibly overrated soundtrack. Randy Newman’s a hack. For what it’s worth, the soundtrack sounds better in other languages.
Are the songs really overrated? Hardcore Disney fans appreciate the music, but none of the songs became viral hits like the ones in Frozen, Moana or Encanto.Incredibly overrated soundtrack. Randy Newman’s a hack. For what it’s worth, the soundtrack sounds better in other languages.

When I first saw the Princess and the Frog in early 2010 I didn't care for the soundtrack at all, but it slowly grew on me. I like it better than the music in Tangled but found it weaker than the music form the Lopez's and Lin Manuel Miranda.
Agreed. I think it’s going to become a cult favorite or at least more popular when this ride opens.That said, "Going to Take You There" fits Splash Mountain perfectly and is well suited for the ride.
That's what I like about it.That's the issue with much of the soundtrack, you can just hear him singing it, like a MADTV sketch version of himself.
I really love the chorus of Dig A Little Deeper, but don't care for the the other parts. The "don't matter what you look like" part is Randy Newman at some of his worst.

Princess and the Frog's soundtrack ranges wildly between really good and mediocre. But I will say that I can't bring myself to hate on even the lesser songs too much. I'm not a fan of most of Randy Newman's other work, but he at least did do a surprisingly good job with a few of the PATF songs. And even at its worst, the soundtrack avoids the pitfall of sounding out of place with its setting and time period. Not delving into more modern pop/country sounding music like Tangled, Frozen and others after it did.
Only the Zip a Dee Doo Dah outdoor section after the drop. The music in the station and first lift was synced with the queue music, so you would hear it if you were anywhere near the entrance vicinity. You would still only hear SOTS music once you entered the splash vicinity. Just walking through Frontierland you’d still hear the Frontierland loop, even if you were near splash. You’d only hear Splash music if you got really close to the splashdown or queueI can’t remember, were you able to hear the music outside the ride from the different areas on splash like we can now hear from the Tiana testing?
Somewhat. There was no audio around the pond in WDW. Disneyland's did though. In Florida IIRC, the only bits of music you could hear from the ride was the Zip finale instrumental around the drop loop. And if you stood just by the entrance you could faintly hear the Bluegrass HDYD.I can’t remember, were you able to hear the music outside the ride from the different areas on splash like we can now hear from the Tiana testing?
Wow! we're REALLY close! How have we not gotten a opening date yet???Tiana's media event in WDW is June 9-11. Invites went out yesterday.
Historically, opening dates are announced as late as a month out. They want at least a few weeks of previews so if that’s still possible, we will need to hear more soon. They already committed to the summer media blitz for June 10 instead of the usual Memorial Day so any small delays at TBA will cut into previews but not impact the grand opening.Wow! we're REALLY close! How have we not gotten an opening date yet???
It's looking less and less likely for DVC & annual pass holder previews. Feel like they'll go with CM previews only to get its grand opening in by summerTiana's media event in WDW is June 9-11. Invites went out yesterday.
