Part Of Your World is a cover of the heartfelt song, belted by Ariel the mermaid in the Disney animated feature film, The Little Mermaid, and it reminds me of an anecdote which you will read now:
I remember being at an esteemed holiday get together with an English teacher. It was an Halloween party complete with unhealthy snacks, a teen wolf costume and karaoke. Now, I know I seem like a shy and reserved kind of guy but once the karaoke starts, I don't stop. After a few practice songs, my eyes locked on to an exciting song choice. The Karaoke CD, it's cover an underwater paradise, was...placed in the machine. I felt my sweaty hands grip the microphone. I opened my mouth, and after that something took over me. Just as the sea-witch, Ursula, had stolen Ariel's voice for her witch-ly endeavors, I had channeled Ariel's voice for my ROCK-ly endeavors.
Expectedly, the song of a mermaid pouring out her heart and beautifully articulating her wishes and dreams through my voice easily captured the hearts of the women in the room, who were all whisked back to the days of their childhood when they wished that they too could be half fish. But then, something unexpected happened. A man in his 30's, there with his wife came down the stairs. He later admitted to his wife that he "needed to get closer" to me. He felt attracted to what he heard, what he saw. He could not help himself. He felt the power.
"Ariel, listen to me. The human world is a mess. Life [on oohahhmusic.blogspot.com] is better than anything they got up there!"
