− | + | "'''Kiss the Girl'''" is a love song from the [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Disney]] [[1989]] animated film ''[[The Little Mermaid]]''. It is performed by [[Samuel E. Wright]] as [[Sebastian]] and centers the romance between [[Ariel]] and [[Prince Eric]]. |
|
+ | ==Summary== |
||
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, [[Prince Eric|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. |

The video shows Andre performing the song in a recording studio. Scenes from the film are intercut with the video or shown on a backdrop behind Andre and the backing singers. There are slight references to water and the undersea world in the video. As Andre performs a beautiful girl comes in carrying water. Andre sees her and is immediately taken with her. He helps her clean up the water as she spills it and follows her into the next room where they gaze at each other through a fishtank. Andre tries to kiss the girl but she backs away. He follows her again as she goes outside and they share a kiss. |

The boy's friend encourages him to talk to Tisdale, but every time he gets close, she goes somewhere else. The video ends with Tisdale asking him to dance, and then at the end she kisses him on the cheek. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_Tunes Tooth Tunes] included the song in one of their products. |

"Kiss the Girl" is a love song from the Disney 1989 animated film The Little Mermaid. It is performed by Samuel E. Wright as Sebastian and centers the romance between Ariel and Prince Eric.
Summary
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.
Lyrics
Sebastian: Percussion.
Strings.
Winds.
Words.
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
but there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
you wanna kiss the girl
(with chorus joining in)
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she want you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
(sing with me, now)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my!
Look like the boy too shy
He ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame? Too bad
He gonna miss the girl
(instrumental bridge)
Now's your moment (Ya, ya, ya)
Floating in a blue lagoon (Ya, ya, ya)
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better (Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until ya kiss the girl
