In Celebration of the Human Voice - The Essential Musical Instrument

Positoovity

From the Disney movie

The Little Mermaid

Music by Alan Menken, Lyrics by Howard Ashman

"Positoovity" is a song from the Broadway musical The Little Mermaid. It is the opening of Act II and is sung by Scuttle, Sebastian and the Seagulls. After Ariel has sold her voice for human legs, Scuttle and the Seagulls give the young mermaid a crash course on being human, the number one rule being to have confidence in herself and always keep a positive attitude. Before long they've got her on her feet and dancing. With the revised book after show closed on Broadway, parts of the song were removed. The tap section however has remained.
