True, These Disney songs didn't have to go so hard. But the fact that they did is what makes them the epic and iconic classics that we know them as today!

"I'll make a Man out of You" is such a fantastic song, and chock full of irony, considering Mulan's real identity.

"Circle Of Life" is absolutely iconic. As soon as you hear that Zulu opening, you know you're in for a hard hitting song. It's beautiful, perfectly paced, and expertly lays out one of the film's core themes. It's so good, that the entire teaser trailer for _The Lion King_ was just this sequence. To this day, I cannot sing it without tearing up. It's simply perfect.

Any time, in any context, if i hear “Let’s get down to business, ” my brain screams “TO DEFEAT THE HUUUUNS!”

It's so nice seeing Treasure Planet on a list! Such an underrated film. Still one of my favorites/comfort films.

The whole Tarzan soundtrack was awesome

[point-five-oh]

Hellfire was absolutely, without even a doubt, the hardest Disney song ever made. Where the other songs had a sort of magical fantasy to their lyrics, Hellfire decided to go an entirely different direction, and cranked up the dark, twisted mind of Frolo to 15. And you were right, it's something that creeped me out as a kid, but almost 3 decades later, I truly grasp what was going on in that man's mind, and it makes the entire piece like 15x scarier. Still, it's one of the things that make the Hunchback of Notre Dame a chilling masterpiece.

It BLOWS my mind how "Everybody wants to be a Cat" isn't in the clip. Not even in the mentions. It's soft jazz with a lyrical interlude transitioning into wannabe electro swing more than 20 years before it was even a thing makes it an absolute banger that makes me want to dance the night off to it, to this very day. And I'm 33. A remixed version of it wouldn't sound weird in any club in the world with such a fire tune. I know, I have heard it.

You can never outgo with Circle of Life. It’s such a very empowering and dramatic opening of the whole cinematic film, The Lion King.

I2I and Stand Out from The Goofy Movie are phenomenal songs. And the whole of the Hercules’ soundtrack could go on this list, as Go the Distance is one of the most beautifully composed songs out there. Alan is a genius. I wish Quasimodo’s song Out There was on here too. It gives me chills every time.

[jaylamacdonald]

the fact that they didn't mention that "I'm Still Here" is sung by the front man of the Goo Goo Dolls .. Disney always had top tier talent working on their soundtracks!!

[RoxRockever]

I love pretty much all of these songs. One that is missing though in the "Didn't Have to Go That Hard" category is the Bells of Notre Dame, which I would put even above Hellfire. When the singer hits that ending note it's just... goosebumps.

I am so glad that ''why should I worry'' gets the credit it deserves. <3

Disney back in the day: let’s make some good original songs people
Artists and writers: alright let’s make bangers 😎

[ericaleach]

The entire Tarzan soundtrack is amazing and Circle of Life is literally my alarm sound 😂

[JadenOmega]

The fact that they went so hard is one of the reasons Disney is remembered fondly and still talked about today. The fact that these tunes still stand the tests of time proves these numbers are as great as the movies they came from.

I love that Colors of the Wind is on here. When she was in her teens, my daughter was in a community choir which did recitals every quarter. The kids did several pieces as a group, just boys, just girls, and each child got to pick a piece to solo on. You can imagine that was a long time of listening to these talented kids sing. My daughter one year was enamored of Pocahontas and chose Colors of the Wind for her solo piece and everyone loved it. I was so proud of her.

"He Lives In You" Should have been a mention

[VanBourner]

Meg's song in Hercules is my all time favourite. Wish there was an extended version as it feels like it is half as long as needed really.

Lets be honest. Into the Unknown went harder than Let it Go
