In Celebration of the Human Voice - The Essential Musical Instrument

Kiss The Girl

From the Disney movie

The Little Mermaid

Music by Alan Menken, Lyrics by Howard Ashman

"Kiss the Girl" is a love song from the Disney animated film The Little Mermaid. It was composed by Alan Menken, with lyrics by Howard Ashman. In the movie, Samuel E. Wright performs it. The song was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song, along with the song Under the Sea from the same film. Midway through the film, Ariel has already been turned into a human by Ursula, but she can no longer speak as she exchanged her voice to become human. If Ariel can't get her true love, Eric, to kiss her before her three days have passed, she will turn back into a mermaid and belong to Ursula. Sebastian, Flounder, and Scuttle try to get Eric to kiss Ariel so that she can be a human permanently, while the two sit in a rowboat in a lagoon. Sebastian makes the suggestion that Eric does want to kiss Ariel but he is too shy to do so, and that he should go ahead and "kiss the girl" to see if she likes him too, so he and the lagoon residents play this song to get Eric in the mood to kiss Ariel.
