Almost everyone has a favorite Disney song. There's something for everyone, it's like a proto-songbook training we unknowingly receive as babes. Is magic too strong a word to describe the glimmering nostalgia that only a Disney song can provoke? We don't think so. And neither do our Naked American guests like Glee's Darren Criss, the always-sappy Alan Cumming, and the upcoming Rachel Bloom, from the hit TV musical show, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend!
We begin this Naked American EXTRA by clearing up some confusion about the Prince of Egpyt's Disney affiliation and dig deeper into the components of standout songs from your/our favorite Disney movies like Hunchback of Notre Dame, Beauty and The Beast, and host Julian Fleisher's favorite, The Little Mermaid. You can hear Alan Cumming's delight in his Disney find.
"Darling it's better / Down where it's wetter / Take it from me." Indeed.
