OMG. Sing-a-long Little Mermaid at the El Cap - Page 8

There was one lyric in Kiss the Girl that I didn't know I didn't know, and it seemed clever, but I forgot what it was. So I listened to the soundtrack and it turns out I didn't know it because it's not there.

There were several errors in the subtitled lyrics, but too bad about this one because it was a clever lyric that nonetheless is Wrong.

And falsetto or not .... I was laughing so hard at "Sing Like a Choir" that I couldn't sing like a choir!!

So explain the whole "Sing Like a Choir" thing.

Oh.

In addition to the on-screen lyrics, there would occassionally be stage directions like "Stomp your Feet" or "Conduct like Sebastian" ... but our fave was a singing direction for the grand finale which read "Sing like a choir." And my famous falsetto failed me just when it was going to be employed by the entire audience because I was laughing so hard.

It was as if I was sitting next to Jodi Benson herself.

^ Heehee, I LOVE The Little Mermaid, and have listened to it lots.

When we were sorta sharing "first time" stories last night, I didn't mention that I saw it opening night at the Cinerama Dome (before the El Capitan existed). I wasn't expecting anything special, and was so naturally swept up in the movie that it wasn't till it was over and we were applauding, that we all looked at each other in amazement and said, "Wow, that was REALLY GOOD."

Disney animation hadn't done anything remotely that splended since Walt Disney was alive. It was magnificent, and the Renaissance continued ... but with the subsequent films all playing the El Capitan. Beautiful as that theater is, the screen is tiny compared to the Cinerama Dome ... so The Little Mermaid was seen in uniquely splendiferous visual magnificence when it was premiered.

Le Sigh.
