Aladdin Central Messageboard

I was just listening to MBM again and it got me thinking about the cut disney music. Besides the songs on MBM I know about the following demos:

The Little Mermaid
Kiss the Girl (only one verse was on MBM, full version must exist)

Beauty and the Beast
Belle (only one verse was on MBM, full version must exist)

Aladdin
Arabian Nights (original lyrics, omitted from MBM)
A Whole New World (left off MBM to make room for the unreleased songs)
Master of the Lamp (Menken and Rice, lost song)
My Time Has Come (Menken and Rice, never recorded)

The Lion King
Hakuna Matata (Timon's Verse)
Be Prepared Reprise (not sure if it's a demo or unreleased master)
Can You Feel the Love Tonight (Timon and Pumbaa Version)
Can You Feel the Love Tonight (Simba and Nala only Version)

Pocahontas
In the Middle of the River
If I Never Knew You (Unreleased Master)
If I Never Knew You Reprise (Unreleased Master)

The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Someday
In a Place of Miracles
As Long as There's a Moon

Anyone know of anymore? I've managed to find the Pocahontas and Hunchback ones, Be Prepared Reprise and Timon's verse from Hakuna Matata. I'm guessing that TLM, B+B and Aladdin songs that weren't on MBM aren't out there, and will never be released (I know the 2 lost songs can't be and omitted Arabian Nights will never be unless someone leaks it out, but the special edition of Al's soundtrack was such a wasted opportunity for AWNW demo!).

Also, has anyone heard of, or found, demos/unreleased songs from later films like Hercules, Mulan and Tarzan, or any or the earlier classics? Or even from the sequels? I'd love to know if any lost songs exist for ROJ or KOT!

There's a version of "Be Our Guest" on the BatB DVD that is sung to Maurice rather than Belle. Smile

And IIRC, "Warthog Rhapsody" was supposed to be in TLK, wasn't it? I vaguely remember seeing storyboards, but I'm not sure.

I wanted them to keep Timon's part in Hukuna Matata /Timon Bias

Well, in the old script Evi bought there's an alternate version of "Count On Me"; I don't know if it was ever recorded.

I've got an old Entertainment Weekly that has a side piece about some of the cut Aladdin songs; it's got My Time Has Come listed, as well as something called My Finest Hour:

Tetherball!

And yeah, on the DVD commentary, they mentioned having done nearly seven or so songs, we just get to hear the final product and two of the best demos...

Yeah it was originally going to go when Scar claimed Pride Rock. I have a real audio version and a quick time movie with the song to story boards. I have a slightly crackly mp3 version too, but it's not the best. Can't remember where I found them but all the files are small (even the mov is only about 1mb) so I can email them to you if you want.

Yeah I over looked the early Be Our Guest as it's on MBM, but I'll have to look for Warthog Rhapsody! Thanks Very Happy

Wow, I'd forgotten about those lyrics! Reminds me that the DVD versions of Count on Me, Humiliate the Boy and Why Me were all slightly different, especially Count on Me.

That's interesting about the Jafar songs! And yeah, "My Finest Hour" does seem very out there, maybe a little more like Second Rate (at least in imagery).

Thanks for all the replies guys!

It's also on the LK Karaoke cd, though my sister and I can imitate Timon and Pumbaa than the two guys they paid to do it on there. Laughing

Ok, yahoo's telling me the messeage is too large or your inbox is too full so we'll try this a different way.

*edited to remove email account info*

The bottom email has the 3 attachments

My uni email gives me loads of room for attachments so my girlfriend and I use this method all the time to trade music (mostly Disney).

Just let me know when you're done Very Happy
