She always kept up her end of the bargain. She was absolutely evil to her core but she was honest in her dealings. She gives you what you want, and you give her what she wants.
Caitlyn Beadle She still kept her end of the bargain. Ariel wanted legs to get on land to be with Eric and she was for a time. Ariel never made rules for it, she never set restrictions. Ursula still kept up her side of the deal.
@Caitlyn Beadle I think what they mean is, as long as Ariel would kiss the man, she would remain human. Nothing more, nothing less. It wasn't a battle or anything, it was just a deal. So interferance and sabotage are not all important. Sure it's all dick moves, but the deal, which is kissing the prince to remain human in 3 days, stayed. Although yeah the hypnotizing was real. But If Ariel were to kiss him without sabotage, since Eric loves her back, the spell would've broke and she will remain human, and that's the deal that was the "end of the bargain." Also, Ariel wasn't her priority. She has it all planned out. she forces to win because if Ariel were to be her pet, Triton would try to save her. thus giving her the... fork thing.
@Caitlyn Beadle I'm not even voicing out anything about what I think. I didn't disagree nor did i agree with you, or with anyone else. I only explained what the other guy meant. Don't bring me into a debate that I'm not even included in the first place! I was only being the interpreter, not the speaker!
Honestly, if I had to choose between having a hero song and a villain song, I'd pick the villain song with no second thoughts. I mean, really. Would you rather have a rock ballad about how you're going to fuck shit up because you're just that awesome, or a meh song about how you're going to save the kingdom because....reasons? The only really good hero song I can think of off the top of my head is 'Ready As I'll Ever Be', and that's more of a hero-villain duet because the bad guy has his own section and actually starts the song off
I only really knew her as the grandmother in Garfield and Friends - and only much later learned she voiced Ursula. I also found out she was the English voice behind Catherine Stoneheart in Pound Puppies, a show I enjoyed a lot as a kid and would remember loving the character a lot.
For real, what kind of money do they use under the sea, because right away she says she doesn't have anything to pay with and I'm like...hold up, you're literally the child of the richest person in the sea. What's going on here?
Often times in stories like this, young royalty dont have any money on them, because they dont really have a need to. It's taken care of for them. Oh! Like Jasmine, when she meets Aladdin at the market and took that apple for the child (I think that's what happened, it's been a while).
Honestly the most evil villain in my opinion was the coachman from Pinocchio. He was running a child trafficking business. To me this was down right disturbing.
I love how this shows that a woman with a lower voice can still sing just as good as a woman with a high register, it makes me feel good because I have a lower voice then Normal so...
As a woman who has a low voice and also can sing lower and higher registers I can say I love my ability to sing and talk low. Sounds mysterious and somehow calming at the same time. Also sexy when needed ;)
The build-up is what made this Villain Song so memorable. It begins slow and calm, almost like a waltz. As the tempo builds, everything goes insane; the more faster the song gets, the more intense the atmosphere and decisions become.
Bad news guys: Pat Carroll, the voice of Ursula, has passed away at the age of 95. Thank you for bringing a fantastic villain to life Pat with your voice! We’ll miss you!
That's one of my favorite parts. While she sings "the boss in on a roll" she literally spins around. Disney's animators are talented and the animation has aged pretty well from 1985 to 2020
I may agree with you that Ursula song is better than any other disney villain songs but I think Ariel's singing was better than the other princesses minus Snow White and Aurora
Ariel is a mermaid, they use their voices to lure men into the sea and kill them. Ursula lured Eric in with Ariels voice. (The voice he remembers from being saved, also the power of the voice itself would lure him in regardless if it belongs to Ariel.)
i like how areal disobeys her father just to live with some guy she just met and then there is Ursula who was kicked out of Atlantis who might i add is tridents adopted sister for practicing magic to help people that just had a small price to pay and ends up being killed for expressing her rage and wanting to exterminate who made matters worse
But Ariel already wanted to visit the surface. She probably felt restricted and suffocated because her dad was so strict and wouldnt communicate with them (which made matters worse, because without him telling them why he made the decisions he made he just came across as unreasonably temperamental). Her sisters also felt similar but not nearly as much as Ariel because they were more complacent with how things were and werent as curious/free-spirited as Ariel (so she got in trouble way more frequently than them). If Triton didn't destroy her little collectables and her grotto out of rage, Ariel's infatuation with Eric probably would've just been her first crush and it would've passed. She wouldn't have experienced that last straw that made her want to run away from home. And then if you count Ariel's beginning, he was much more strict, and Ariel's only had maybe 3 years (at most), probably more like 1 year, of the semi-freedom she had in The Little Mermaid (though her "semi-freedom" was moreso her disobeying her father than actual freedom).
Ursula almost killed an entire boat load of people after tricking Ariel didn't work. Remember, in the movie Ursula almost married Erick. Which would've left Ariel alone on the surface forever with no one else. Ursula is an amazing villain, but not sympathetic.
For those who don't understand, the movie is not saying to give up your voice for a man, Ursula is using it because she knows that by giving up her voice, Ariel would be at a disadvantage. But even without her voice her personality was still able to shine through, the handicap wasn't ideal, but Ariel was able to move past the handicap. Without her voice, Ariel wasn't just a pretty face, she was also just lots of fun to be around, and I think that's what drew Eric to her in the end more than anything, even where he was willing to give up the mystery girl he only knew from her voice and breif glimpse of her face. The main reason Eric likely went with Ursula was because he had already had his heart set, and then when that set his mind in one place even when his heart shifted. Also, he was likely under an enchantment, probably the siren's song or something, which may have been what drew him to Ariel in the first place, so maybe meeting Ariel without her voice also allowed him to fall in love with her free from enchantment and just fall in love with her as a living being. So there are actually a lot of layers here, and I don't know if all of them are 100% up to date with our modern sensitivities, but it does provide an interesting story that is worth discussing.
Lyrics for the last part of the song: Beluga sevruga. Come winds of the Caspian Sea. Larengix glaucitis. Et max laryngitis. La voce to me! *Now, SING!*
Today I was confident enough to perform this song during vocal lessons and it was so much fun! I just started taking lessons and it feels good to find songs for the alto register, where I can still act outside of my comfort zone by portraying an evil character and it really helps with my social anxiety as well.
I rather preferred Ursula's position personally. She may be evil technically speaking but she was always very clear about the details of her dealings. Maybe she didn't give Ariel EVERY SINGLE DETAIL but she didn't FORCE HER into the contract either. I love how just straight up she is. She's an incredible woman who is NOT going to be bullied by anyone not even Triton himself. Though I really doubt that the whole thing would have been even noticed by Triton himself had Ariel not been his own daughter. Had she been anyone else he probably would have ignored it entirely
If you mean you look more like her, that's fine bc she's fabulous. If you're saying you act like her, you need to stop being a bitter, manipulative, prick.
@@angelcarter6387 It's not about her being bullied by Triton. She took advantage of a 16 yr old. Triton's abuse (the scene where he destroys all her stuff as a show of force and authority is a textbook abusive parenting tactic) is what lead Ariel to go to Ursula and Ursula took advantage of that. If you sign a contract saying that you can keep a car if you manage to fix the alternator on it in a week, but the guy you made the deal with is constantly stealing your tools and sending people over to keep you away from the car and ultimately steals the car on the last night to keep you from fixing it, would you call that guy fair? Would you say his way of dealing was okay? Now you owe him the deed to your house bc you never fixed the alternator. Is he "in the right" or is he a crooked prick?
@@angelcarter6387 And even if Ariel DID read the contract, I doubt Ursula mentioned the constant sabotage bc that would be stupid and Ursula isn't stupid.
For the curious: Beluga Sevruga (refers to a caviar found in the very sea she summons next) Come winds of the Caspian Sea. Larynxis (your larynx is your voice box) Glossitis (inflammation of the tongue) Et Max Laryngitus (maximum laryngitus. Laryngitus is an infection of your voice box) La Voche to me (the voice comes to me.) Quite artistic how Disney could come up with such lyrics to sound like a spell, but with meaning, not mumbo-jumbo.
The root of most problems I have with this movie is that Throughout the runtime do they ever disagree with Ursula They say her actions are evil but they agree whole sale with her words (I still love her songs tho)
Ursula's one of my favourite villians of all time, mostly cause of Pat Carroll's amazing voice, you could feel the passion she put into her performance. It's tragic that we've recently lost her, but she will always be beloved and remembered for helping bring life to one of the most iconic disney villains
It's definitely still true today. The top complaint any guy has with a girl usually aren't her looks, but what she says. "She's cute when she keeps her mouth shut" and such.
When you think about it Ursula held up her end of the deal she said she’d give Ariel legs and she did she gave her very very nice legs and she also didn’t say she would try to stop Ariel kissing Eric and Ariel didn’t even read the contract for crying out loud
If u think about it ariel wasnt that innocent either..ariel knew what she was getting her self into..ariel wanted more than just to be on the surface 😉
She never said that she would try and sabotage her either.......Ariel didn't ask because you AREN'T even supposed to try and sabotage other in the 1st place......she also pressured her into signing the contract (without leaving her much time to read) saying stuff like "i'm a really busy woman", no wonder she couldn't really think and read......
Song from The Little Mermaid URSULA The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself. ARIEL Can you do that? URSULA My dear, sweet child. That's what I do. It's what I live for. To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself. Poor souls with no one else to turn to. I admit that in the past I've been a nasty They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch But you'll find that nowadays I've mended all my ways Repented, seen the light, and made a switch True? Yes And I fortunately know a little magic It's a talent that I always have possessed And here lately, please don't laugh I use it on behalf Of the miserable, lonely, and depressed pathetic Poor unfortunate souls In pain, in need This one longing to be thinner That one wants to get the girl And do I help them? Yes, indeed Those poor unfortunate souls So sad, so true They come flocking to my cauldron Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!" And I help them! Yes I do Now it's happened once or twice Someone couldn't pay the price And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals Yes I've had the odd complaint But on the whole I've been a saint To those poor unfortunate souls Have we got a deal? ARIEL If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again. URSULA But you'll have your man, heh heh. Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? Heh heh. Oh, and there is one more thing. We haven't discussed the subject of payment. ARIEL But I don't have- URSULA I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle! What I want from you is - your voice. ARIEL But without my voice, how can I- URSULA You'll have your looks, your pretty face. And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha! The men up there don't like a lot of blabber They think a girl who gossips is a bore! Yes on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word And after all dear, what is idle prattle for? Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation True gentlemen avoid it when they can But they dote and swoon and fawn On a lady who's withdrawn It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man Come on you poor unfortunate soul Go ahead! Make your choice ! I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day It won't cost much Just your voice! You poor unfortunate soul It's sad but true If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet You've got the pay the toll Take a gulp and take a breath And go ahead and sign the scroll Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys The boss is on a roll This poor unfortunate soul Beluga sevruga Come winds of the Caspian Sea Larengix glaucitis Et max laryngitis La voce to me Now, sing! ARIEL Aah... Keep singing! C Classic Disney Poor Unfortunate Souls Lyrics
Now reading the lyrics in english I can notice that the LA spanish version of Ursula is meaner. One example 3:21 *"Flotam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys"* in english and in LA spanish is *"How easy was, how dumb she is"*
It is offensive tho, imagine saying someone cant speak bc of their gender? I dont like the sensitivity of ppl nowdays but i agree this one should be left behind.
@@moonamoonz Let me guess? you're a woke cry baby. It's obviously offensive because she's the bad guy, thats what villains do, give wrong advice, kill, lie, set a bad example, so children learn a lesson that if you misbehave you gotta pay for that
@@moonamoonz ursula is a villain, she’s not the character holding the moral of the movie, of course she won’t say nice things. Kids aren’t dumb as they want to picture them, when I was a kid I knew she wasn’t saying the truth.
@@moonamoonzyou do realize she's a villain, right ? Her whole character is about hurting people, especially since she needs Ariel to lose faith later but be unable to break the contract.
Ursula FREAKED ME OUT when I was younger, I have no idea what it was about her (among many things) but she was one of the scariest Disney villains to little me
Ursula was and still is the most realistic villain. She was right all along, especially the “on land it’s much preferred for ladies not to say a word” mainly because a lot of men don’t care about personality but more about looks.
2:48 "But they dote and swoon and fawn on a lady who's withdrawn! It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man!" Those are LYRICS. I mean, this is Kids film, they could've written anything! But instead they got Howard Ashman, who wrote these amazing, clever lyrics! I mean, this is better than a lot of contemporary Broadway in my opinion.
When I used to watch it as a kid, I never understood half of the lyrics of this song lmao But realised later how wonderfully thought out the lyrics are like damn this is some good writing!
Was looking for this comment lol. These lyrics are so cryptic and almost disturbing because this is a kids film. But it's the world we live in. And that's the true villain
Why is everyone in this comment section blaming Ariel? She was 16, found her first boyfriend and was desperate to feel like she had control over her life. Ursula attempted to trick a child into going through with a deal that could've possibly killed her out of jealousy and spite for her brother. It's the Disney equivalent of a 35 year old, divorced mom tricking her 17 year old daughter into joining her Multilevel Marketing Pyramid Scheme. Ariel is 100% the victim.
@@aaliyahh2253 If someone made you sign a life contract at 16 you would probably regret it now too! Especially since Ursula attempted to seduce Eric just so Ariel would be stuck for life on land!
Not really. Ursula made an offer to Ariel. She DIDN'T force Ariel to accept that deal however. Ariel was given the chance to sign OR walk away. She CHOSE to go through with the offered deal. Plus I mean seriously think about it. She was 16 and was in love. Other people have done a lot worse and have ended up with nothing to show for themselves. Most of us don't always make the best decisions for ourselves as teenagers anyway.
@@angelcarter6387 exactly why she's a victim! "Here, 16 year old child hopped up on hormones and teenage first love, sign a contract with magic shit you know nothing about!" That sounds like the ot of a horror movie!!!
BetterKilled Studios A deal is a deal. If anything this serves as a reminder to think with your head and not your heart, Ariel wasn’t forced into the contract, she was presented with a choice and she chose poorly. The fault doesn’t lie with Ursula, especially since she was the one who held up her end of the bargain.
I just found out that Pat Carroll died on 30th July 2022 R.I.P Pat Carroll thank you for giving me and everyone else a great childhood. I only found out on (Wednesday 24th August 2022)
Someone once said that the tune that Ariel is singing when Ursula magically takes [Ariel's] voice, is the backwards version the opening song from "Bambi," 'Love is a Song that Never Ends.' Backwards or not, I can't unhear it.
Ursula is the only Disney villain(apart from Frollo) who gave me nightmares as I kid, but she was still my favorite. Very sad that she past away recently :(
Ursula: "If you want to cross the bridge, my dear, you've got to pay the toll..." Ariel: "OK, OK, hang on a second. What's a bridge?"
"Oh, are you talking about a womblenose?"
Its my sweet 😂😂😂
I'm surprised she doesn't question Ursula when she says she wrecks people across the coals

My guess, so to trick Eric into marrying her.
To hypnotize Eric
Autumn Sherrill Because Prince Erik will think Ursula will be the one who saved him because he only got her voice so she can catfish him
Well traditionally a mermaids song lures sailors to the deaths where they crash the ship onto jagged rocks
I mean I wouldn’t say it’s beautiful, but it’s very strong and bold, but not sweet.

Ariel is a mermaid, they use their voices to lure men into the sea and kill them. Ursula lured Eric in with Ariels voice. (The voice he remembers from being saved, also the power of the voice itself would lure him in regardless if it belongs to Ariel.)
The seductive tone to her voice is absolutely amazing. It makes this song a masterpiece.

Ok but Ariel was a literal child. Manipulation is still an evil thing to do.
i like how areal disobeys her father just to live with some guy she just met and then there is Ursula who was kicked out of Atlantis who might i add is tridents adopted sister for practicing magic to help people that just had a small price to pay and ends up being killed for expressing her rage and wanting to exterminate who made matters worse
But Ariel already wanted to visit the surface. She probably felt restricted and suffocated because her dad was so strict and wouldnt communicate with them (which made matters worse, because without him telling them why he made the decisions he made he just came across as unreasonably temperamental). Her sisters also felt similar but not nearly as much as Ariel because they were more complacent with how things were and werent as curious/free-spirited as Ariel (so she got in trouble way more frequently than them). If Triton didn't destroy her little collectables and her grotto out of rage, Ariel's infatuation with Eric probably would've just been her first crush and it would've passed. She wouldn't have experienced that last straw that made her want to run away from home. And then if you count Ariel's beginning, he was much more strict, and Ariel's only had maybe 3 years (at most), probably more like 1 year, of the semi-freedom she had in The Little Mermaid (though her "semi-freedom" was moreso her disobeying her father than actual freedom).
Elsa: *You can't marry a man you just met*
Ariel: _..._ I don't care
Ursula almost killed an entire boat load of people after tricking Ariel didn't work. Remember, in the movie Ursula almost married Erick. Which would've left Ariel alone on the surface forever with no one else. Ursula is an amazing villain, but not sympathetic.
You can't live at home forever though, you must leave your parents and go live at some point
She already want to live in the surface and already thinking of disobeying her father, the guy is the last push
"The men up there don't like a lot of blabber!"
Huh, no wonder I'm single...

Same
I don't talk much.... still single :))
For those who don't understand, the movie is not saying to give up your voice for a man, Ursula is using it because she knows that by giving up her voice, Ariel would be at a disadvantage. But even without her voice her personality was still able to shine through, the handicap wasn't ideal, but Ariel was able to move past the handicap. Without her voice, Ariel wasn't just a pretty face, she was also just lots of fun to be around, and I think that's what drew Eric to her in the end more than anything, even where he was willing to give up the mystery girl he only knew from her voice and breif glimpse of her face. The main reason Eric likely went with Ursula was because he had already had his heart set, and then when that set his mind in one place even when his heart shifted. Also, he was likely under an enchantment, probably the siren's song or something, which may have been what drew him to Ariel in the first place, so maybe meeting Ariel without her voice also allowed him to fall in love with her free from enchantment and just fall in love with her as a living being.
So there are actually a lot of layers here, and I don't know if all of them are 100% up to date with our modern sensitivities, but it does provide an interesting story that is worth discussing.

No!!!! Are yoy kidding? It's ANGELIC AF
Are you kidding me? That scene gave 6 year old me nightmares about Ursula for months on end!
@@Luigi_Mario_1997 the scene where king trition broke ariel stuff gave me a nightmare
" I use it on behalf of the miserable, lonely, and depressed ( pathetic). " LMAO I don't why I find that line so hilarious. 0:50 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lyrics for the last part of the song: Beluga sevruga. Come winds of the Caspian Sea. Larengix glaucitis. Et max laryngitis. La voce to me! *Now, SING!*
Today I was confident enough to perform this song during vocal lessons and it was so much fun! I just started taking lessons and it feels good to find songs for the alto register, where I can still act outside of my comfort zone by portraying an evil character and it really helps with my social anxiety as well.
When you wanted to be Ariel then you grow up and realize you’re Ursula
I rather preferred Ursula's position personally. She may be evil technically speaking but she was always very clear about the details of her dealings. Maybe she didn't give Ariel EVERY SINGLE DETAIL but she didn't FORCE HER into the contract either. I love how just straight up she is. She's an incredible woman who is NOT going to be bullied by anyone not even Triton himself. Though I really doubt that the whole thing would have been even noticed by Triton himself had Ariel not been his own daughter. Had she been anyone else he probably would have ignored it entirely
If you mean you look more like her, that's fine bc she's fabulous. If you're saying you act like her, you need to stop being a bitter, manipulative, prick.
@@angelcarter6387 It's not about her being bullied by Triton. She took advantage of a 16 yr old. Triton's abuse (the scene where he destroys all her stuff as a show of force and authority is a textbook abusive parenting tactic) is what lead Ariel to go to Ursula and Ursula took advantage of that.
If you sign a contract saying that you can keep a car if you manage to fix the alternator on it in a week, but the guy you made the deal with is constantly stealing your tools and sending people over to keep you away from the car and ultimately steals the car on the last night to keep you from fixing it, would you call that guy fair? Would you say his way of dealing was okay? Now you owe him the deed to your house bc you never fixed the alternator. Is he "in the right" or is he a crooked prick?
@@angelcarter6387 And even if Ariel DID read the contract, I doubt Ursula mentioned the constant sabotage bc that would be stupid and Ursula isn't stupid.
I want to be this good of a businesswoman
Hi everybody 👋🏽
Hey
HI!!! 😁😁
Hello
Greetings
Hi!!
For the curious:
Beluga Sevruga (refers to a caviar found in the very sea she summons next)
Come winds of the Caspian Sea.
Larynxis (your larynx is your voice box)
Glossitis (inflammation of the tongue)
Et Max Laryngitus (maximum laryngitus. Laryngitus is an infection of your voice box)
La Voche to me (the voice comes to me.)
Quite artistic how Disney could come up with such lyrics to sound like a spell, but with meaning, not mumbo-jumbo.
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch..
Idk why i felt something with this part.😂😂😂💀
It really seemed like they wanted to use a certain word but didn't due to the children friendly rating
This part cracks me up big time... "You got your looks, your pretty face... and don't underestimate the importance of... BODY LANGUAGE!!" LOL
Rip Pat Carroll, who is now tormenting the poor unfortunate souls in the afterlife.
Lol good one!
Frankly, a most relatable woman. Runs a tight business, cares for her pets and is obviously fed up with men's bs.
Cringe
@@ChiggaChiggaBruh indeed
Incel detected.
I actually feel bad for her at 1:03, singing about how so many of her clients want to be thinner when she’s extremely fat herself.
I think it's boss that she is happy with herself. She probably thinks these mermaids are silly and frivolous but is willing to take their money.
RIP Pat Carroll (1927-2022) This was always my favorite song 🎵
The actor that played Ursula is amazing! In my opinion she is the best Disney villain.
The root of most problems I have with this movie is that
Throughout the runtime do they ever disagree with Ursula
They say her actions are evil but they agree whole sale with her words
(I still love her songs tho)
Ursula is one of my favorite Disney villains even though I don’t like little mermaid that much
Why don't you like The Little Mermaid that much?
@Rayne’s Fun World 2.0. I watched Aladdin 1992 Alice in Wonderland 1951 and Peter Pan 1953 like so many times in Disney+ and its still my favorites
@@user-jk6iu6lf6b I love The Little Mermaid but the sequel was such a disappointment. Ariel's Beginnings was ok.
Ursula's one of my favourite villians of all time, mostly cause of Pat Carroll's amazing voice, you could feel the passion she put into her performance. It's tragic that we've recently lost her, but she will always be beloved and remembered for helping bring life to one of the most iconic disney villains
Pat Carroll, thank you for giving life to one of the most amazing characters in animation. What an extraordinary voice.
Pat has gone to be with the most poor and unfortunate, above and below. God bless you, we'll never forget it.
Jeez, that part about men preferring submissive women is interesting. Not necessarily true, but definitely in Ariel's time
It's definitely still true today. The top complaint any guy has with a girl usually aren't her looks, but what she says. "She's cute when she keeps her mouth shut" and such.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj I'm not a guy but I've never really been rejected by boys just bc I speak my thoughts. Depends on the culture for sure
Thats just one reason im a lesbian
@@carmelicedcoffee2235 Ahaha yeah. Us hetero ladies just gotta choose the right guy
Mine was that she refused to actually fucking communicate...
When you think about it Ursula held up her end of the deal she said she’d give Ariel legs and she did she gave her very very nice legs and she also didn’t say she would try to stop Ariel kissing Eric and Ariel didn’t even read the contract for crying out loud
If u think about it ariel wasnt that innocent either..ariel knew what she was getting her self into..ariel wanted more than just to be on the surface 😉
Exactly
She never said that she would try and sabotage her either.......Ariel didn't ask because you AREN'T even supposed to try and sabotage other in the 1st place......she also pressured her into signing the contract (without leaving her much time to read) saying stuff like "i'm a really busy woman", no wonder she couldn't really think and read......

Song from The Little Mermaid
URSULA
The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself.
ARIEL
Can you do that?
URSULA
My dear, sweet child. That's what I do. It's what I live for.
To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself.
Poor souls with no one else to turn to.
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
True? Yes
And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And here lately, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, lonely, and depressed pathetic
Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help them!
Yes I do
Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls
Have we got a deal?
ARIEL
If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again.
URSULA
But you'll have your man, heh heh. Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? Heh heh.
Oh, and there is one more thing.
We haven't discussed the subject of payment.
ARIEL
But I don't have-
URSULA
I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle!
What I want from you is - your voice.
ARIEL
But without my voice, how can I-
URSULA
You'll have your looks, your pretty face.
And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha!
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
Yes on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word
And after all dear, what is idle prattle for?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead!
Make your choice !
I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice!
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul
Beluga sevruga
Come winds of the Caspian Sea
Larengix glaucitis
Et max laryngitis
La voce to me
Now, sing!
ARIEL
Aah...
Keep singing!
C Classic Disney Poor Unfortunate Souls Lyrics
Ever heard of a lyrics video?
I mean that's what this video is for
Now reading the lyrics in english I can notice that the LA spanish version of Ursula is meaner.
One example 3:21
*"Flotam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys"* in english and in LA spanish is
*"How easy was, how dumb she is"*
I can sing this song and do the voice mimics but I will never be Pat. Godspeed Pat you had pipes like no other
I want to do a drag performance to this
Soutwoods city
Do it
Fun fact: Ursulas character was based on a drag queen named Divine :)
So sad in the new live-action version the removed the be-quiet part because it's too offensice for cry babies nowadays :(
It is offensive tho, imagine saying someone cant speak bc of their gender? I dont like the sensitivity of ppl nowdays but i agree this one should be left behind.
@@moonamoonz Let me guess? you're a woke cry baby. It's obviously offensive because she's the bad guy, thats what villains do, give wrong advice, kill, lie, set a bad example, so children learn a lesson that if you misbehave you gotta pay for that
@@moonamoonz ursula is a villain, she’s not the character holding the moral of the movie, of course she won’t say nice things. Kids aren’t dumb as they want to picture them, when I was a kid I knew she wasn’t saying the truth.
@@moonamoonzyou do realize she's a villain, right ? Her whole character is about hurting people, especially since she needs Ariel to lose faith later but be unable to break the contract.
@@LiaGiu02kids these days are doomed if their parents refuse to give them the credit they deserve.
Ursula FREAKED ME OUT when I was younger, I have no idea what it was about her (among many things) but she was one of the scariest Disney villains to little me
When I was little the whole little mermaid franchise sacred the living shit out of me.
this and "friends on the other side" have the same slimey beautiful engery
lmfao i just realised ursula could of gave her the most hideous legs ever
Ursula was and still is the most realistic villain. She was right all along, especially the “on land it’s much preferred for ladies not to say a word” mainly because a lot of men don’t care about personality but more about looks.
R.I.P. Pat Carroll (1927 - 2022) 😇
I love this song! My favourite bit is when Ursula cackles evilly. Her laugh is unbeatable!!
That poor unfortunate soul rest in peace Pat Carroll
RIP Ursula
2:48
"But they dote and swoon and fawn on a lady who's withdrawn! It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man!"
Those are LYRICS. I mean, this is Kids film, they could've written anything! But instead they got Howard Ashman, who wrote these amazing, clever lyrics! I mean, this is better than a lot of contemporary Broadway in my opinion.
When I used to watch it as a kid, I never understood half of the lyrics of this song lmao
But realised later how wonderfully thought out the lyrics are like damn this is some good writing!
Was looking for this comment lol. These lyrics are so cryptic and almost disturbing because this is a kids film. But it's the world we live in. And that's the true villain
@@inomrasmith no wonder they took this part out of the Live Action, but I really wish they didn't. This was the best part of the song
@@zoal6752 THEY TOOK IT OUT!!!
@@inomrasmith Yep. They took out "You'll have your looks, your pretty face" up until "it's she who holds her tongue who gets a man"
RIP Pat Carroll :( Hopefully, Flotsam and Jetsam are still swimming besides her, the boss is still on a roll.
My fave bad guy song.... After "Be prepared"
Same
I bump it behind Hellfire and keep Be Prepared at the top
My favorite😂
And don't ever underestimate the importance of
BODY LANGUAGE!!
HAHA
You all know why you’re here
RIP Pat Carol
Yes, may she rest in peace
@@Abby_The_Muppet May the one and only & legendary Ursula be with the angels in heaven. RIP.
Why is everyone in this comment section blaming Ariel? She was 16, found her first boyfriend and was desperate to feel like she had control over her life. Ursula attempted to trick a child into going through with a deal that could've possibly killed her out of jealousy and spite for her brother. It's the Disney equivalent of a 35 year old, divorced mom tricking her 17 year old daughter into joining her Multilevel Marketing Pyramid Scheme. Ariel is 100% the victim.
Ariel aint no victim..ariel had a choice..ursula didnt pressure her..she had a choice not her fault she didn't read the contract..ariel was rebelious
@@aaliyahh2253 If someone made you sign a life contract at 16 you would probably regret it now too! Especially since Ursula attempted to seduce Eric just so Ariel would be stuck for life on land!
Not really. Ursula made an offer to Ariel. She DIDN'T force Ariel to accept that deal however. Ariel was given the chance to sign OR walk away. She CHOSE to go through with the offered deal. Plus I mean seriously think about it. She was 16 and was in love. Other people have done a lot worse and have ended up with nothing to show for themselves. Most of us don't always make the best decisions for ourselves as teenagers anyway.
@@angelcarter6387 exactly why she's a victim! "Here, 16 year old child hopped up on hormones and teenage first love, sign a contract with magic shit you know nothing about!" That sounds like the ot of a horror movie!!!
BetterKilled Studios A deal is a deal. If anything this serves as a reminder to think with your head and not your heart, Ariel wasn’t forced into the contract, she was presented with a choice and she chose poorly. The fault doesn’t lie with Ursula, especially since she was the one who held up her end of the bargain.
Came here after seeing the news. RIP Pat Carroll. She'll always be the OG Ursula.
RIP Pat Carroll your amazing singing voice brought so much joy to us poor unfortunate souls. You'll be forever missed.
I just found out that Pat Carroll died on 30th July 2022 R.I.P Pat Carroll thank you for giving me and everyone else a great childhood. I only found out on (Wednesday 24th August 2022)
Been binge-watching Supernatural and I've realized that Ursula is the Disney version of Crowley.
Oh yes, I didn't think about it till I saw this comment
Oml yes
He is though
You right I will now be your freind.
Cleansing my pallete from "this is the thanks i get" GANG
"I let you live here for free and I don't even charge you rent!"
P.S coming from a fan of Disney's Wish!
Its a crime they tried to recreate this
Rest In Peace, Ms. Carroll! You truly were a great Ursula/Vanessa!
Tbh she didn’t even need Ariel’s voice she already had an amazing one
this song is my childhood
Rest In Peace Pat Carroll
At least you get a cool Disney villain song to listen to while you sign the contract.
R.I.P. Pat Carroll thanks for voicing an awesome Disney villain
RIP to the original Ursula and the original Uhura. Gone on the same day.
This performance is so good.
R.I.P Pat Carroll a.k.a Ursula
Listening to this because now Pat Carroll has died. There's no turning back now is there?😓
My childhood is now ruined.
@@StaticBlaster Same here
@@deanwilliamson1929 it's unfortunate.
A wild guess but the Jonas brothers also sang their version of this song

The first comment since the sad and tragic news.
Someone once said that the tune that Ariel is singing when Ursula magically takes [Ariel's] voice, is the backwards version the opening song from "Bambi," 'Love is a Song that Never Ends.'
Backwards or not, I can't unhear it.
I’m singing this for a school play next trimester. Auditioning for Morticia Addams...
Disney dazzle??
I'm additiong for aplldin
How'd it go?I know I'm a year late,but I'm just genuinely curious
@@tallysned3737 same lol

Ursula the queen of gaslighting.
Ursula is the only Disney villain(apart from Frollo) who gave me nightmares as I kid, but she was still my favorite. Very sad that she past away recently :(
misheard lyrics : 1:16 "they come f***ing to my cauldron"
It sounds like that if I think of it lmao 😂
What a song.
I love areil,s voice
@Nicolas Adam hi I don is tvknow yoy
