Dive into Disney : 4 of 5

I heard about this one-of-a-kind CD on MiceAge, and I was so intrigued that I had to buy it. Continuing my collection of "updated" Disney music, this wild compliation is full of punk and ska versions of classic tunes! It's only available in Japan (maybe Disney doesn't want American audiences to hear this crazy stuff), so I ordered it from CDJapan and I've been enjoying it for weeks! The first time I listened to it I was laughing so much that I couldn't even pay attention, but now I can really enjoy it and scream along. There are tons of cool tracks - Yo Ho in Japanese, When You Wish Upon a Star as a totally transformed funk tune, Chim Chim Cher-ee with tons of distorted guitars, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo at blazing speed, some totally bizarre versions of Hakuna Matata (including all the Timon & Pumbaa dialogue), and even a cool version of Someone's Waiting for You from The Rescuers, turning one of the most boring Disney songs into something groovy! There's lots of fun broken English, slurred words, and seriously loud cymbals, too. This is definitely not the kind of music I would buy on my own, but I love it Disney-style!
