"'''Kiss the Girl'''" is a love song from the [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Disney]] [[1989]] 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 {{WikipediaLink|Academy Award for Best Song}}, along with the song "[[Under the Sea]]" from the same film in [[1990]].
+
"'''Kiss the Girl'''" is a love song from the [[Walt Disney Animation Studios|Disney]] [[1989]] animated feature film ''[[The Little Mermaid]]''. It is performed by [[Samuel E. Wright]] as [[Sebastian]] and centers on 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.

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 Sebastian and the lagoon residents play this song to get Eric in the mood to kiss Ariel. However, as the song ends as Ariel and Eric are about to kiss each other, the boat where they are on has been tipped over by Flotsam and Jetsam and they both fall into the water much to Sebastian, Flounder and Scuttle's shock.

In 2006, when ''The Little Mermaid'' was re-released on DVD as a 2-Disc Platinum Edition, another rendition of the song was recorded by [[Ashley Tisdale]]. The song was first heard on Radio Disney on September 4, 2006 and the music video premiered on September 6, 2006 on [[Disney Channel]], immediately following an episode of the sitcom ''[[The Suite Life of Zack & Cody]]''. It was also included on ''[[Disneymania 5]]''.

Sha-la-la-la-la-la
The song's music video consists of a girl at a school dance. As she hangs out with her friends, she notices a boy repeatedly glancing at her. 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. {{WikipediaLink|Tooth Tunes}} included the song in one of their products.

Kiss the Girl is a featured article, which means it has been identified as one of the best articles produced by the Disney Wiki community. If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, please feel free to contribute.

"Kiss the Girl" is a love song from the Disney 1989 animated feature film The Little Mermaid. It is performed by Samuel E. Wright as Sebastian and centers on 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't 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 Sebastian and the lagoon residents play this song to get Eric in the mood to kiss Ariel. However, as the song ends as Ariel and Eric are about to kiss each other, the boat where they are on has been tipped over by Flotsam and Jetsam and they both fall into the water much to Sebastian, Flounder and Scuttle's shock.

Lyrics

Sebastian:
First we got to create the mood.
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

Prince Eric:
Did you hear something?

Sebastian: (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 (In the film version, there's a bit of dialogue)

Prince Eric:
You know, I feel really bad not knowing your name. Maybe I can guess. Is it, uh, Mildred? (Chuckles) Okay, no. How about Diana? Rachel?
Sebastian:

Trivia

  • The song was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song, along with the song "Under the Sea" from the same film in 1990; the latter won.
  • In the first week of April 2007, Ashley Tisdale's version of "Kiss the Girl" managed to debut on the Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles at #16 (which is equivalent to #116). One week later, the song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #81.
  • During the Kingdom Keepers book Disney at Dawn, Jessica, trapped in the sewers of the Tiger exhibit, manages to use her iPod to play Kiss the Girl and Under the Sea over Animal Kingdom's music speakers. This helped the other Kingdom Keepers find her (Kiss the Girl was used to identify it was Jessica, and Under the Sea because her hiding spot was under the "C" on the map).
  • In the House of Mouse episode "Max's Embarrassing Date", Sebastian was hired to perform the song for Max's date with Roxanne, only to be cut by Max himself before the singing starts due to the pressure everyone but Goofy put on to make the date perfect.
  • In an episode of Phineas and Ferb, this scene of the movie is parodied with Candace and Jeremy.
  • A parody was also performed on the ABC show Galavant.
  • The song makes a cameo in Descendants 2 as Uma waltzes with a mesmerized Ben.
  • At the 1990 Academy Awards, Geoffrey Holder performed this song.
