Music is in the Air was the theme song for the scrapped live-action series Little Mermaid's Island. The song was to have played during the opening of each episode as well as the closing of each episode sung by Ariel and Sebastian respectively prior to the series being scrapped. The song was played in a calypso melody.
Lyrics[]
Ariel: Get in the swing, come in from the ocean
Go with the wind and get into motion
Both: Got to be with the flow of the rhythm
Music is in the air
Sebastian: She got me chance on dancing on dry land
Simply because there's joy on this island
Ariel: Kick up your flippers and light up the kippers
Music in the air
On Little Mermaid's Island, come ashore
Far from the quiet of the ocean floor,
If music's what you're looking for
Come on this way
Sebastian: On Little Mermaid's Island, life is grand
Up where the waves caress the sand
When you hear the Mermaid's Island Band
Come on and play
Ariel: Shake off that kelp, grab up your dorsal
One thing can help, even one morsel
Both: Anything snappy makes you feel happy
Music is in the air
Sebastian: We've got a sound and everyone did it
Just turn around, and you'll be a spirit
Ariel: Fingers are snapping, claws are a clapping
Music is everywhere
Both: Take it from me from under the sea
Music is in the air!
Sebastian: Dat was beautiful!
On Little Mermaid's Island, life is grand
Up where the waves caress the sand
When you hear the Mermaid Island Band
Come on and play
We've got a sound and everyone did it
Just turn around, and you'll be a spirit
Fingers are snapping, claws are a clapping
Music is in everywhere
Take it from me from under the sea
Music is in the air!
