My new favorite song is "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Mulan. I don't know why this has suddenly become my obsession, but I watched Mulan today and totally love, love, love it.
I've always loved Mulan. I used to practice weird kung fu moves in my backyard like I was Mulan and was going to save China. Needless to say, that never happened, and I've never been to China. The song is really catchy though, and it just makes me smile. Mulan pretending to be a man. Geez. For some reason, Disney cartoons mean more to me as I get older than when I was little. Probably because I hated every Disney movie until I was about eleven or twelve. Disney cartoons scared me to death. The villeins were super scary and they had dark settings. How could that not terrorize a child? Anyway, this song is boss.
Here's a link to the video: http://youtu.be/ZSS5dEeMX64
Shang:
Let's get down to business--to defeat the Huns.
Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?
You're the saddest bunch I ever met
But you can bet before we're through
Mister, I'll make a man out of you
Tranquil as a forest
But on fire within
Once you find your center
You are sure to win
You're a spineless, pale, pathetic lot
And you haven't got a clue
Somehow I'll make a man out of you!
Chien-Po:
I'm never gonna catch my breath
Yao:
Say good-bye to those who knew me
Ling:
Boy I was a fool in school for cutting gym
Mushu:
This guy's got 'em scared to death
Mulan:
Hope he doesn't see right through me
Chien-Po:
Now I really wish that I knew how to swim!
Shang and Chorus:
(To Be a man)
We must be swift as the coursing river
(To Be a man)
With all the force of a great typhoon
(To Be a man)
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
Time is racing toward us till the Huns arrive
Heed my every order and you might survive
You're unsuited for the rage of war
So pack up, go home, you're through
How could I make a man out of you?
Shang and Chorus:
(To Be a man)
We must be swift as the coursing river
(To Be a man)
With all the force of a great typhoon
(To Be a man)
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
(To Be a man)
We must be swift as the coursing river
(To Be a man)
With all the force of a great typhoon
(To Be a man)
With all the strength of a raging fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
