PureDWTS Season 18, Week 5 – Disney Week Song Predictions/Wish List!!!
Bye-bye, gadawful switch week – helllloooo, Disney week! This may be the one good idea TPTB have had the entire season 😀 Sounds like a lot of you are pretty pumped about it – so why not get even more excited by compiling a song wish list and seeing if we might be able to predict what everyone might be dancing to, shall we?
Vogue & I came up with a list of the most popular Disney songs we could think of and divided them up by dance style – Deep Throat indicated that all the songs were probably going to be very well-known, so while I think it would be totes appropos to see Maks dancing to “Gaston” from Beauty & the Beast, it’s probably far more likely that he & Meryl have a song like “Beauty & the Beast” or “Be Our Guest”.
If you didn’t catch it yesterday, some of the couples revealed some clues about their dances in this media post Vogue posted yesterday. Some other clues, which I revealed on Twitter yesterday? Both Meryl & Charlie have eschewed the expected “Disney princess/prince” roles that some were hoping they’d assume this week, and are both going for “something different”. And because Peta is about as subtle as a sledgehammer (thanks, emojis) I’ll go ahead and throw out one song spoiler: James & Peta are, indeed, doing contemporary to “Let it Go” from Frozen. Happy Hump Day, kids 😉
Waltz:
“So This is Love” – from Cinderella (used as Sabrina & Louis’ waltz in season 15 – see below)
“Someday My Prince Will Come” – from Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs
Foxtrot:
“Cruella De Vil” – from 101 Dalmations
“You’ve Got a Friend in Me” – from Toy Story (used as Hope & Maks’ foxtrot in season 13 – see below)
Quickstep:
“Friend Like Me” – from Aladdin (used as Shawn & Mark’s quickstep in season 8 – see below)
“Bear Necessities” – from The Jungle Book (used as Chad & Cheryl’s quickstep in season 10 – see below)
“Be Our Guest” – from Beauty & the Beast
Viennese waltz:
“Once Upon A Dream” – from Sleeping Beauty
“Chim Chim Cher-ee” – from Mary Poppins
Samba:
“Hakuna Matata” – from The Lion King
“Under the Sea” – from The Little Mermaid
“True to Your Heart” – from Mulan
“I Wanna Be Like You” from The Jungle Book (used as Jack & Cheryl’s samba trio with Sharna last season – see below)
“Love is an Open Door” from Frozen
Rumba:
“Colors of the Wind” – from Pocahontas
“Kiss the Girl” – from The Little Mermaid
“Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” – from The Lion King
“Reflection” – from Mulan
Paso Doble:
“Whistle While You Work” – from Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs
“Heigh-Ho” – from Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs
“Be Prepared” – from The Lion King
Jive:
“Why Should I Worry?” – from Oliver & Company
Other songs (doesn’t fit perfectly with the styles above – could be jazz or contemporary):
“Let it Go” from Frozen (confirmed: James & Peta’s contemporary song for Disney week)
“A Whole New World” from Aladdin
“Beauty & the Beast” from Beauty & the Beast
“Circle of Life” from The Lion King
So those are our picks – what are yours? What songs are you hoping to see on Disney week, and what dances do you want to see the couples doing to those songs? Keep an eye out for Heidi’s “Who’s Dancing What?” post to drop – cause we’ve got the whole song & dance list comin’ atcha soon 😉
Thanks for compiling the song list! All I know is that Maks has discounted that he would be dancing to any Aladdin/Little Mermaid/ Beauty & the Beast – and since Cody is doing Lion King I wonder if it could indeed be Mulan Rouge.
I am definitely amped for this week. Ready for a fresh, restart after last week – although I did enjoy the show, I didn’t enjoy being mislead and lied to by TPTB.
Still nervous to see who goes this coming week as well as so many say week 5 is the “surprise” elimination week. I’m thinking it will be between Candace & Nene … we shall see.
I am so excited for this week.. YAY!!
A few songs I had come up with A LONG time ago for this:
“Be Prepared” from the Lion King as a Paso Doble.
“Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride” from Lilo & Stitch would work great for a Salsa!
“You’ll Be in My Heart” from Tarzan would be a beautiful Rumba.
“Friend Like Me” from Aladdin would be a nice QS (and I think Mark did it with one of his partners before… was it Kristi or Shawn? I cant remember)
And of course, “Under the Sea” for a Samba is what I really want 😀
I thought “Let It Go” would be used for like a (Viennese) Waltz … but Contemporary will work fine. I think James is gonna nail that.
Monday cannot come soon enough.
@Carlos – If you read the section on quickstep, your question will be answered 😉
For what it’s worth, “a whole new world” was used in a rumba on SCD last season (either Ashley Taylor Dawson or Patrick robinson….either way I remember watching it on youtube and it oddly worked.
Here are other songs: A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes from Cinderella and Second Star to the right from Peter Pan.
Could Candace & Mark have samba since they are doing something to the little mermaid?
So much fun !!!
Thank u for the list so excited for disney week
A samba on hakuna matata or under the sea will be dope
I hope someone dance on a whole new world its like my favorite disney song
I totally missed that it was on the post that it was Shawn and Mark that danced the QS to Friend Like Me. Oops 😛
So excited for this week! Can one of the mods explain to me the Paso choices? Heigh-Ho doesn’t exactly sound like a fierce song for a Paso!
I oddly want to see something to this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRYU4cqUAUs
I approved your comment, vin, but let’s try to avoid including links in this post – I have a feeling that could get out of hand pretty quickly. Just mention the name of the song in your comment and other readers can look it up themselves.
Aviva, I just went strictly by the beat of the song when putting them into categories. TPTB have used very un-paso dobleish songs in the past – think “Firework”.
No problem. I’m sorry!
Fun post! These are great song choices. I’d like to add mine:
1) One Jump from Aladdin is fun. Would it be suitable for a Quickstep?
2) Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo from Cinderella. Is it good for Foxtrot?
3) You’ll Be in My Heart from Tarzan would be good for contemporary.
4) When You Wish Upon a Star – waltz?
5) Friends on the Other Side – jazz?
I look forward to next Monday.
My favorite of the ones used in the past was Shawn & Mark’s “Friend Like Me”.
Courtney, Tony mentioned in an interview that he will be a ‘dog’ – maybe you’ll get your Nene/Cruella de Vil wish? 🙂
I think it will be a fun week!
I would love to see a Mary Poppins Waltz!
If NeNe and Tony are dancing to Cruella DeVille please for the love of everything that is good in this world can Tony dress up in a full Dalmatian outfit?? 😛
I can only think of one more song: “Touch the Sky” from Brave
Really fun post!
He’s A Tramp- Lady And The Tramp
perhaps as a sassy Foxtrot
Bella Notte- Lady And The Tramp
aah, dogs on a date, in love while eating spaghetti, what could be more perfect than that?
Zero To Hero- Hercules
Quickstep
Prince Ali- Alladin
Foxtrot
Z
Hit send too soon!
Zip-ah-dee-doo-dah- Song Of The South
Quickstep
I Just Can’t Wait To Be King- The Lion King
Samba
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious- Mary Poppins
I seriously need to take a nap after typing that- Quickstep
When You Wish Upon A Star- Pinocchio
probably the most iconic Disney song
Waltz
So excited for Disney week, wish they would do so close from enchanted. Love that song.
I agree Ashley it’s a great song for a waltz.
I wish Idina Menzel would sing Let It Go live.
My inner-disney child is so excited for this week. Since Charlie mentioned that he isn’t being a prince this week and they’re doing jazz, I wonder if him and Sharna are doing Circle of Life.
Either way, I’m optimistic next week will be better than this week.
@Jessica – Circle of Life from the Lion King is a great song.
Maks/Meryl have a Samba next week so it could be “True to Your Heart”
I will throw out one more little hint: all of the couples are dancing to songs from different movies. There are 9 different Disney movies being represented next week. 😎
I just want to see Derek dressed as Prince Charming. I think he hinted they’re doing Cinderella.
I’m very excited for Disney Night. It’s a dream come true.
My wish list:
“The Best of Friends” from The Fox and the Hound (Foxtrot)
“Candle On the Water” from Pete’s Dragon (Waltz)
“The Gift of a Friend” from Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure (Viennese Waltz)
“Zero to Hero” from Hercules (Jive)
“I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” from The Lion King (Quickstep)
“Arabian Nights” from Aladdin (Argentine Tango)
“Higitus Figitus” from The Sword in the Stone (Jazz)
“Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid (Samba)
“When Can I See You Again” from Wreck It Ralph (Cha-Cha-Cha)
“Real Gone” from Cars (Paso Doble)
“Bella Notte” from Lady and the Tramp (Rumba)
“Stand Out” from A Goofy Movie (Tango)
“Once Upon A Dream” from Sleeping Beauty (Contemporary)
Here’s hoping CONRAD THE GREAT will acknowledge the real demographics and let this song be the opening group number:
Who’s the leader of the club
That’s made for you and me
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E
Hey! there, Hi! there, Ho! there
You’re as welcome as can be
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E
Mickey Mouse!
Mickey Mouse!
Forever let us hold our banner
High! High! High! High!
Come along and sing a song
And join the jamboree!
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E
Mickey Mouse club
We’ll have fun
We’ll see new faces
High! High! High! High!
We’ll do things and
We’ll go places
All around the world
We’ll go marching
Who’s the leader of the club
That’s made for you and me
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E
Hey! there, Hi! there, Ho! there
You’re as welcome as can be
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E
Mickey Mouse!
Mickey Mouse!
Forever let us hold our banner
High! High! High! High!
Come along and sing a song
And join the jamboree!
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E
Derek did hint “maybe a pumpkin” and the Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo movie sequence is where the fairy godmother turns the pumpkin into the coach etc. etc. I would say that of all the songs in the Cinderella soundtrack that is probably the most iconic. Maybe a quickstep?? Just a thought.
…one more thing…sorry.
I was not excited about this. But now that I have been reminded of all the great Disney songs out there, I’m all-in! Let’s hope ALL of the music will be original versions and not some jazzed-up or toned down version of the original by the singers & band members. UGH
If Tony mentioned he’s a dog–I just don’t want him to be “Tramp”. That’s my favorite “I’m sick, bowl-of-soup” kind of movie.
@court #25 so not It’s a Small world for a dance? It is turning 50 this year. But I don’t think any of us will be able to get it out of our heads for three weeks.
I agree that Tony and Nene are doing a song from 101 Dalmations with Nene as Cruella! And Derek is doing something from Cinderella! Charlie doing jazz from Lion King doesn’t sound exciting to me but I am hoping for the best! I didn’t catch what Meryl and Max are doing.
I am so excited for Disney week because I am a Disney girl! I used to work there and it is a magical job to make people happy there! I love all Disney songs! Can’t wait for more spoilers!!!
Please Harold and the band: do not make mistakes with my Disney music!!!!!!!!
Can someone actually tell me what were the mistakes that they made? Lol. I’m not sure what happened but new something was off. Did the band come in too early on Derek’s dance? And what mistakes were made during Maks’?
*knew
FYI- there’s no more Harold and the band this season!
I think a foxtrot to “I Won’t Say I’m In Love” from Hercules would be really fun. 🙂
Okay whatever the new DWTS band people are! It’s a little hard to keep track with all the band changes in all these different tv shows! I watch too much tv. Lol
What do you mean Charlie White’s not gonna be a prince next week? You mean to tell me they finally do a Disney week with Meryl and Charlie and Charlie’s not even gonna be a Disney prince?? And it kind of stinks that Peta and James get the Frozen song because if Charlie wasn’t going to be a prince he’d be a dead ringer for Kristoff. Grrr…oh well, still looking forward to next week.
That Belle from Beauty and the Beast; Quickstep
I can go the Distance from Hercules; Waltz or Contemporary
The Storm from Mickey Mouse’s The Band Concert; Paso Doble
Everybody wants to be a Cat from The Aristocats; Foxtrot or Jazz
Circle of Life from the Lion King; Rumba
What a Tramp or the Siamese cat song from Lady and the Tramp; Argentine Tango, Foxtrot, Jazz, or cha-cha
Yes Lizzie! Charlie is a Disney prince! And also a ringer for Kristoff! Oh well.
Is the music for Disney Week only from animated films or Disney films in general? If the latter, please don’t forget Carson & Anna’s Pirates of the Carribean waltz as well as Bill E & Emma’s The Lone Ranger paso!
Since Disney now owns Star Wars, how about Max as Darth Vader… Ok I couldn’t help myself 🙂
go the distance – hercules… don’t know which dance, but i’ve loved it since i was a child
Disney also has the muppets, now, and they have a movie out.
Thanks for all the info and work on speculation. I’m hoping you get some gossip from your sources about any impact switch week had on the original pairs.
The Muppets are too busy running the show to actually guest dance on it 😉
@Cher ^^ +1. GREAT!
But seriously, imagine Miss Piggy trying to share the stage with ANYONE. Right; like that would work.
@Heart, wasn’t Harold and the band fired? It’s a new band, smaller, placed behin the stage now.
I think you all forgot that “Star Wars” was bought by Disney and they have been reminding us of that since. I have a hunch that there will be a Star Wars song this week. Maybe a jive to the “Cantina” scene.
@Yvonne, I missed your post. Yes, how about Max as Vader doing the paso to the Empire march?
@Lizzie – I don’t think anyone is going to be disappointed when they see what song Charlie & Sharna are doing – if Sharna plays her cards right with the choreography, I think Disney week could potentially be a HUGE comeback for Charlie. Now Meryl, I’m not quite sold on her song choice…it will be cute, but I don’t know that it’s going to be as memorable as Charlie’s in the long run.
@Jane – Without giving too much away, let’s just say that the majority of the dances are from animated Disney films.
Ugh. Not a fan of Disney so I’m not going to like this week. Of course “Let it Go” has to make an appearance and since I hate everything Frozen — ugh. Looks like I might have to skip this week.
I would love someone one to do a dance to There’s a Place For Us from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader (if they are doing songs from non animated as well).. I can see it being used for the Waltz or Viennese waltz and I would also love someone to do a dance to Ever Ever After.
Can’t wait for this week. I have been humming songs all afternoon.
Does Mary Poppins count as an animated film? I’d love to see the penguins make an appearance. It would also be cool to see Mark & Candace do Aladdin. 😉
Courtney knows what everyone’s doing already!! Thank you for the good news about Charlie and Sharna’s jazz dance! I am so excited and happy!!
Afterbuzz said that Meryl is doing a salsa dance I think, so hoping that Maks will create something good even though he hates Disney songs.
I’m going to be so sad to see someone leave on Monday. Even though I don’t like Cody, I like Witney. Every week will be brutal and it’s going to make me vote for my favorites!
If Mary Poppins could be used, then so could Pete’s Dragon, but I guess they are only doing total animation movies?
Then my guesses are Peter Pan (don’t like that one), Alice In Wonderland, Cinderella, Lion King, 101 Dalmatians/Lady & the Tramp, The Little Mermaid, Beauty & The Beast, Aladdin and Frozen!
Any guesses not said correct in my guesses?
Not a huge Disney fan but I am dying to see NeNe as Cruella De Vil and see how it goes in the rehearsal room after her great week with her little munchkin.
Would also love to see Amy as Cinderella and I’m excited to see Sharna’s choreography with Charlie. 🙂
@Heart #54 – I think Afterbuzz said that Meryl is doing a samba.
I’m looking forward to Disney week, but I hope TPTB choose songs they haven’t used before. Surely it wouldn’t be hard to get whatever songs they want. So why recycle when the Disney catalog is chock-ful of great music!
Court, Thanks for the tease on Charlie/Sharna. Now I’m excited for them! 😛 I know Sharna’s been trying to show Charlie in a different light, but I was beginning to wonder if they might not be better off playing to his wholesome, all-American guy strengths for a couple weeks. Hope this turns out to be the comeback performance they need.
Tony all but confirmed in an interview w/ ABC that he’ll be dancing the foxtrot to a song from 101 Dalmatians.
(I don’t think I can list the link otherwise I would..)
#19 Susan, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (sigh) hahahaha was used on a Charleston on SCD. Artem danced it with Fern Britton. I tinhk it could be really a quickstep =]
I’m not a fan of theme weeks, in general, but this is one I can really get behind. I do hope we get a fresh assortment of music, though. This is going to be a fun week. I’m sure TPTB will try to induce excess amounts of drama, fingers crossed the cast outwits them, again.
I’m DYING to know who has what songs and dances! When are you guys going to reveal the amazing spoiler “who dances what?” list? 🙂 thanks for being such great sources!!
at least hints to what movies are being represented next week? 😉 haha
Knew they would be giving someone Let It Go for sure.
I think Disney week is such a great idea and I’m actually surprised they haven’t done this before. I’m dying to see Derek dressed up as Prince Charming… lol! I just hope the performances don’t get toooo cheesy. =P My favorite songs come from the Little Mermaid, so I will be excited to see the couple who dances a song to that movie.
SO CLOSE for a Waltz
THAT’S HOW YOU KNOW for a Samba
both from the movie ENCHANTED.
Elmari #64 I think Candace is doing Little Mermaid. She said in the promo it’s her favorite
James has actually just recorded a cover of Let It Go with Victoria Justice, (who actually was at the show to support James week before last) Wonder if he and Peta will perform to that version?
Tony and Nene are doing a Foxtrot and the theme is 101 Dalmatians. Tony confirmed it on an ABC interview and he said Nene is playing a “big” character. He also went on to say ‘there are 101 ways…” Basically throwing out the clue.
The SCD Charleston to Super…… was really charming. I hope we get dances in that vein on Monday’s show.
I’m curious what the Samba music is for Meryl and Maks. I’m thinking it’s Hakuna Matata.
I could totally see Sharna as Princess Jasmine. Charlie could be a blonde dimpled Aladdin.
Mine too Elmari #64! I adore the little mermaid. My guess is Candace and Mark Samba to Under the Sea. My life will be made lol!
Since Maks hinted that he will be a 10 year old boy… so maybe Peter pan? and Meryl as Tinkerbell?
