Under the Sea
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Under the Sea" is an Academy Award-winning song from Disney's 1989 animated film The Little Mermaid, composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman. The song was performed in the film by Samuel E. Wright.
The song is a plea by the crab Sebastian imploring Ariel to remain sea-bound, and resist her desire to become a human in order to spend her life with the prince she has fallen in love with. Sebastian warns of the struggles of human life while at the same time expounding the benefits of a care-free life underwater.
In 2006, the song was featured in the Square-Enix RPG, Kingdom Hearts II. The song, which was part of a minigame in the Atlantica world, was rearranged to have parts for Sebastian, Ariel, and Sora. The music was arranged by Yoko Shimomura.
