[liamelias]

Getting people Like Randy Newman and Phil Collins to write music for them was one of Pixar's best decisions by far

[lilymartin]

I used to always think randy was a black jazzy man!

[msk]

Whenever hear this, Woody and his friends make my heart warm.

[wherejobsgrowonjobies]

His voice is one the most underrated voices ever, it’s pure

[Grantofglyn]

At 1:50 when that guy sings "And you got a friend in me" and Randy looks back and smiles. That made me crack the purest smile I've had.

[jaykar]

This song was my childhood...until everything decided to mature 🥺

[sjones]

My 5 year old grandson heard me playing this on my phone and he came running. Music that transcends the generations!

[Gouldylocksxxo]

This song makes me cry due to nostalgia every time I hear it

[Grantofglyn]

That "destiny" With the two of them gives me goosebumps!

[noblewolf]

1995 good times growing up, I was 6 when this movie came out..the best Disney-Pixar movie and song ever as well

[famousbowl]

I want to watch Randy Newman live before his passing! Hes older yet doesnt sound that different! Awesome!

[jimjimsk]

0:11 every time i hear this its pure nostalgia

[nevergonfade]

Imagining woody and buzz being played by Andy with this song. Such a nostalgia. ❤️😢

[ChristianRivera]

I always thought Woody sang this song 😂

[cynthiahawkins]

From the first notes, his music is always instantly recognizable. The shuffle-swing, the wry humor..what a delight!!

[stormtroopertheskitmaker]

i love how each insturment starts playing seperately at the beginning it adds that vibe of "its back"

[melchiorhoffman]

This song is easily as difficult to play as Flight of the Bumblebee ... but for a different reason.


It's virtually impossible to get through a performance of "You've Got a Friend in Me" without sobbing, which can throw off your rhythm.

[weasel]

1:57 and onward, that little riff thing always hits me right in the feels. When that played during Toy Story 4 I cried my eyes out

[JenaySeratelli-pwsg]

I had my first boy 8 years ago and I STILL can’t sing this song without crying

You've Got A Friend In Me"
("Toy Story" soundtrack)

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and we see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do
It's me and you, boy

And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
