When I first Googled "Let It Go" I came up with another artist. I don't remember who now? It took me a few days to figure out that it was Idina. The other one was good. Idina hits the high notes better. No wonder they hired her
Talking about snubs - "For All We Know," "I'm Easy," "Born Free," "The Windmills of Your Mind," "Up Where We Belong," "The Shadow of Your Smile," "All the Way," "Secret Love," "Mona Lisa," "You'll Never Know," "On The Atcheson, Topeka and the Santa Fe"....you guys missed a while lot.
That score always moves me. Especially seeing it done at the 2022 Olympics in the Women's Sings Figure Skating event...it's hard not to get moved by Hans Zimmer's score.
@@winstonllamas5163 agreed about Hunchback, and I will even add Pocahontas to that list as well. Both enhance the film and would not be the same without their stellar scores!
Isn't it about time for King Charles to make honor him as Sir Phil Collins? Seriously, how have they missed that? When will our friends across the pond demand it? I'm rooting for him.
@@joepowell7025 Absolutely. At the very least, they should have chosen it over the Barbie song. Although, I would have left off several others that watchmojo may have felt obligated to include.
Same here. I was 2 when it came out and it's still my all-time favorite song (my brother told me that I would come running every time it came on the radio). Sadly, it was never even nominated. I love the Academy Awards Database; it tells you everything you want to know!
It's still hard to believe that James Horner is no longer with us anymore. His legacy behind such incredible music in movies including Titanic as the composer for the entire movie aswell as Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On is truly remarkable. Horner is hands down, one of the best movie composers of all time 🙌
@@Fl0k5ser Yes, won the Grammy, was nominated for the Golden Globe, but somehow wasn't even nominated for the Oscar. 🤨. But it's just brilliant, brilliant stuff featuring the Boys Choir of Harlem. Check it out.
So…we’re just forgetting that Last Dance by the queen of disco Donna Summer is an academy award winning song and more than deserved a spot on this list somewhere?!?!
Donna Summer's voice is impeccable. How she wasn't mentioned????? I read your comment before watching the video. Donna is just sublime 😍 and deserves so much recognition. I LOVE HER!
@@beeonthyme5760 Right?! I really wish she was still here, especially for when they did the music celebration at the Oscar’s that one year where Eminem finally performed lose yourself. How awesome would it have been to see her up there after and perform her signature anthem!
You've mentioned that "Natu, Natu" was an example of multiculturalism but forgot to mention that it was also filmed in Kyiv, Ukraine. Our Ukrainian dancers participated in the movie ❤
I have an instrumental version of Can You Feel the Love Tonight on the playlist as my guests arrive and wait for my wedding! in one week! Also snuck in some instrumental Backstreet Boys. I am a full child of the 90s. Had to nod to fave movie and fave band of my youth. The sweet child of mine instrumental song is to represent when my favorite movie went from Lion King to Big Daddy. Kinda fun!
So glad "My Heart will go On" was higher on this list than before. No one can deny "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is the greatest song in Oscar's history. It's fitting that songs sung by both Celine and Judy are the greatest of all time. Much love! ❤❤❤
@@lsawyer1111able it deserves the mention my heart will go on was a shit imo it was a crazy for you 2.0 and nothing's gonna stop us now 2.0 nothing else that song could've worked in 80s atleast lose yourself was a fire and it has inspiration unlike MWGO
I would add "Up Where We Belong" from Officer and a Gentleman, and "Stayin' Alive" from Saturday night Fever. Also "Ghostbusters" !! And one of my Favs is "You've Got a Friend in Me" - Toy Story. And what about almost the whole sound track from "The Graduate". So many, can't list them all. "Eye of the Tiger", and the theme from "Exodus" is heart-pounding.
You do a great job of picking the best ones. I’m glad you recognized “Que Sera Sera.” The only one, for which I was waiting, but didn’t make your list is “Born Free.”
@@billnolte8644 left to the fans it would be all b movies and subpar horror films...yall opinions be just as wacky, like people think Halloween 3 is good cuz 30 years went past
"Skyfall" is not only one of the best Bond songs ever, it's one of the best songs ever made! Adele changed the whole game with that iconic theme song for "Skyfall". I remember an interview where she was so nervous to perform at the Oscars in front of so many A listers and man, she knocked it outta the park
Celine Dion singing My heart will go on, is the reason I even wanted to see Titanic. Originally I had no desire to it then I heard the song and I was sold . I did end up loving the movie too.
Best Oscar winning songs: My Heart Will Go On Over the Rainbow Beauty and the Beast You’ll be in my Heart When You Believe A Whole New World Can you feel the Love tonight & When You Wish Upon a Star
Anastasia and Hercules came out the same year as TItanic. So even though the songs from Anastasia and Hercules are great, they didn’t win Oscars. “My Heart Will Go On” is the juggernaut that year.
Interesting how tie in songs are not that big of a thing anymore. We have Disney and James Bond movies doing them, but it’s very rare other movies have them now
Great selection of songs, b ut honestly the positions are all over of the place (apart from top 3). Shallow being better than White Christmas? Let it go being better than The Way you look tonight? God no! The everlasting impact of those songs can't be denied.
I’m so happy you mentioned When You Believe from The Prince of Egypt. I love the end credits version because of the lovely voices of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston
The movie version is far, far better. At least they know how to stay on a note. Just because you CAN hit every note in the scale doesn't mean that you SHOULD...and all at once.
A good friend of mine died from cancer the week shallow came out. I have cried so many tears to that song and I always think of my friend when I hear it. ❤
I liked Sheena Eastern singing For Your Eyes Only as a Bond theme and Goldfinger sung by Shirley Bassey. Also sad that Bright Eyes from Watership Down and Born Free😢 did not make it. Also Against All Odds by Phil Collins.
Don't worry. This is NOT a very good list (they got about half right..) Some just really don;t deserve to be here at all, and others definitely SHOULD be.
You'll be in my Heart, Can You Feel the Love Tonight?, A Whole New World, When You Believe, Into the West,Flashdance and Take My Breath Away are my favourites.
Songs I’m very surprised that didn’t make this list The Rose - Bette Midler The Rose Everybody’s Talking - Nilsson - Midnight Cowboy Up Where We Belong - Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes - An Officer And A Gentleman Nobody Does It Better - Carly Simon - The Spy Who Loved Me
The Frames is one of my favorite bands and my favorite song has a brief show in “Once”. Fantastic movie. Fantastic songs. The Frames and Glen Hansard are phenomenal. Went to his concert a few years back and it was very moving and wonderful. (I was running late to the concert and it was at a place where they close the doors at showtime so while I did barely make it- my cousin and I were sweatly and panting because we had to basically run a mile- we made it). I love the lyrics of most all songs by The Frames and Glen Hansard, and the love and thought out into the movie were fantastic. Just perfect.
I love all the information you provide about each song, but it would also be good to actually hear more of each song. Perhaps shorter lists, so you could dedicate more time to the songs themselves as well as the commentary??
I think in the case of Mary Poppins, "Feed the Birds" should have won the Oscar instead of "Chim Chim Cher-ee". After all, "Feed the Birds" was not only the song that won over P.L. Travers to sign over the movie rights to Mary Poppins, but it's also the most meaningful song in the movie. What does "Chim Chim Cher-ee" mean?
It might be you didn't win the Oscar. While the other 2 did, You Must Love Me is far and away the better Madonna track and the only one which I feel deserved a spot on this list. All good songs though.
@@TonyLeadholm "our picks for the original songs" You Must Love Me was in the stage show Evita and not an original song for the movie. So even though it's good it doesn't qualify for the catagory.
@@harry180364 I don't believe that's true. "You must love me" was written specifically for the movie in 1996. ALW & Tim Rice wanted a new song for the movie and that's why it was nominated for an Oscar. If it would've been in the Broadway stage show it wouldn't have been eligible to be nominated.
The songs "You'll be in My Heart" and "My Heart Will Go On" always bring tears to my eyes because they both remind me of the profound love I shared with my late husband *and* how the memory of that love continues to propel me forward.
@@KARDisneyTo be fair though, “Colors of the Wind” definitely has a better and more relevant message behind it than “You’ve Got a Friend In Me”, which has the same message you’d find any typical song about friendship. Not a bad song, but not one with social relevancy nearly 3 decades later.
This is not intended as a criticism, but as a 77-year-old I find it sad that the trend today is to talk about music but not to listen to it: short snippets of songs among oceans of commentary.
I would love to see a list of "songs not especially written for, but associated with a single movie" like As Time Goes By with Casablanca, What a Wonderful World with Good Morning Vietnam, and Singin' in the Rain with... you know.
I agree with this entire list somewhere over the rainbow just gets you right here in your heart. Same thing with my heart will go on. Can You feel the Love Tonight and so many lose yourself is it is a very powerful song about somebody who just lived in Detroit, Michigan and somehow found his Fame. Dirty Dancing is a very movie. Makes you just want to get up and dance. It does to me all the time. I have never seen Skyfall cuz I'm not really a big James Bond fan like I was with Sir Roger Moore Coco remember me? Oh my God such a beautiful song. I feel so sorry for the guy who wrote the song. Not only was he you know killed but his family you know had to give up music because his wife thought you know something different that she he left her to raise their daughter Coco by herself and that's how they she became like a shoe maker kind of way thing. But yeah it kind of hits you right here with somebody that you lost and you only have like one one memory one song from them. I love music. I love movies so I guess I love the Oscars but I also love soundtracks
I was hoping you'd pick, "It Goes Like it Goes" from the 1979 movie "Norma Rae." It was sung by Jennifer Warnes and won the Oscar for the best song of the year. I agree with it.
* George Benson's rendition of Michael Masser and Linda Creed's "The Greatest Love of All". * Mike Curb Congregation's "Burning Bridges". And a stack of other songs should have won Oscars.
I think the singers should be considered to win an Oscar as well even if they didn't write or compose the song the singer is the one that gives the song life, power they make you feel the lyrics, I think it is a strong contributor to the writers and composers, its a collaboration after all. I know its not the Grammys but we are talking about best original song and the singing is as important as everything else in my humble opinion.
Anyone but me that thinks it was the biggest robbery that The Bee Gees did not get the Oscar for best song in 1977 or 1978? One of the most sold and popular soundtrack of all time did not even get a peep from the jury. No nominations, nothing ?
I was happy seeing 'When You Believe' made the list because it's still one of my favorite songs to this date from Prince Of Egypt along with 'Into The West' perfect song to close off an epic film trilogy like LOTR.
Over the Rainbow, nothing tops it. I went to a concert by Cuban Buena Vista orchestra in NYC. In between Cuban songs, the orchestra, jazz aficionados, broke into an instrumental Over the Rainbow, while holding their mics towards the American audience, and the audience obliged, singing a chorus over the rainbow. It was pure magic.
And the worst..."It's Hard out Here for a Pimp". From Hustle and Flow...losing out to Dolly Parton and her best chance for an Oscar for Transamerica with "Travelin' Thru". I will never get over that!
At my Dad's funeral we had a slideshow of pictures with him. The back ground music playing was Into the West. Even now 20 years later I'm torn two ways. I love the song from LOTR: and also sad because of my Dad.
@@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719 Yup, I am aware that she didn't receive an Oscar for either of these - but yes I agree her vocal performance for both (and Peabo Bryson's) were exceptional. 👍😉

When I first Googled "Let It Go" I came up with another artist. I don't remember who now? It took me a few days to figure out that it was Idina. The other one was good. Idina hits the high notes better. No wonder they hired her
I can think of A LOT of better songs that should have been on this list.
P
Talking about snubs - "For All We Know," "I'm Easy," "Born Free," "The Windmills of Your Mind," "Up Where We Belong," "The Shadow of Your Smile," "All the Way," "Secret Love," "Mona Lisa," "You'll Never Know," "On The Atcheson, Topeka and the Santa Fe"....you guys missed a while lot.
The Way We Were should’ve been in the top 5!
My Heart Will Go On. That song will never go away and my heart goes out to Celine for her recovery.
Yes indeed 👍🏼. Prayers for Celine Dion 🙏🏼.
That song has always been annoying like nails on a chalkboard.
It's genetic
That song was literally the soundtrack of my High School days. It was even the theme of my high school Prom. I also wish Celine the best!
Yeah unfortunately it's a progressive disease and there's no cure so it's just gonna continue getting worse until she passes
The Lion King soundtrack is supremely gorgeous. Tim Rice and Elton John did an amazing job with the score.
That score always moves me. Especially seeing it done at the 2022 Olympics in the Women's Sings Figure Skating event...it's hard not to get moved by Hans Zimmer's score.
The soundtrack to Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame is so underrated. While the soundtrack to other Disney movies are incredibly overrated.
@@winstonllamas5163 agreed about Hunchback, and I will even add Pocahontas to that list as well. Both enhance the film and would not be the same without their stellar scores!
Tarzan has one of the best soundtracks. "You'll be in my heart" is truly such a beautiful work of art ❤
I had forgotten that one until I heard it here and YEAH that song was amazing in the film. So great.
“Son of Man” is my favorite but that whole soundtrack is fantastic! We still like listening to "Trashing the Camp”, too; it’s a fun song.
I fully agree. One of the best soundtracks ever. Phil Collins is an absolute legend.
Isn't it about time for King Charles to make honor him as Sir Phil Collins? Seriously, how have they missed that? When will our friends across the pond demand it? I'm rooting for him.
Collins también hizo el soundtrack de la película Tierra de Osos. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Pity you left off 1966’s “Born Free”. I suppose it is obscure now, but when I first watched the movie as a wee lass in the 70s, I cried and cried.
A MUCH better song than a lot of the stuff here.
@@joepowell7025 Absolutely. At the very least, they should have chosen it over the Barbie song. Although, I would have left off several others that watchmojo may have felt obligated to include.
@@Bintexas Agree 100% although a lot of today's stuff doesn't belong here.
I put that song on my list of Top 100 Best Songs From Movies Of All Time. It’s in nine parts
Omg. I only have to think of Born Free and I well up.
Same as Bright Eyes from Watership down.❤
To Sir With Love gave me chills the first time I heard it as a young girl.
Still one of my top ten.
Same here. I was 2 when it came out and it's still my all-time favorite song (my brother told me that I would come running every time it came on the radio). Sadly, it was never even nominated. I love the Academy Awards Database; it tells you everything you want to know!
It’s amazing that Carly Simon’s Let the River Flow gets no love here. That song permeated the entire film.
It's "let the river run" but yeah, definitely missing
I love that song!
That song sucked.
It's still hard to believe that James Horner is no longer with us anymore. His legacy behind such incredible music in movies including Titanic as the composer for the entire movie aswell as Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On is truly remarkable. Horner is hands down, one of the best movie composers of all time 🙌
His score to Glory is one of THE all time greats...to this day, I hear three notes and the tears start flowing...
@@TonyLeadholm I've heard that, he won a Grammy for his work on that movie right? That's amazing
@@Fl0k5ser Yes, won the Grammy, was nominated for the Golden Globe, but somehow wasn't even nominated for the Oscar. 🤨. But it's just brilliant, brilliant stuff featuring the Boys Choir of Harlem. Check it out.

Sending much love and support to all in Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Being in my late 50´s makes me feel I am a lucky person. I have seen so much throughout these decades with historical events, movies and songs.
Yes, I am the same!
Can You Feel The Love Tonight is a classic, it never goes away, the second is Moon River, which is truly a 60 '60s movie theme classic.
I have an instrumental version of Can You Feel the Love Tonight on the playlist as my guests arrive and wait for my wedding! in one week!
Also snuck in some instrumental Backstreet Boys. I am a full child of the 90s. Had to nod to fave movie and fave band of my youth. The sweet child of mine instrumental song is to represent when my favorite movie went from Lion King to Big Daddy. Kinda fun!
Falling Slowly is still so hauntingly beautiful - my personal #1. ❤
So glad "My Heart will go On" was higher on this list than before. No one can deny "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is the greatest song in Oscar's history. It's fitting that songs sung by both Celine and Judy are the greatest of all time. Much love! ❤❤❤
I wish it was lose yourself on number 1 instead i didn't like mhwgo
Sorry Man. Rap is not music. Just rapid fire poetry of a sort. Doesn't deserve any mention here among so many musical greats.
@@lsawyer1111able it deserves the mention my heart will go on was a shit imo it was a crazy for you 2.0 and nothing's gonna stop us now 2.0 nothing else that song could've worked in 80s atleast lose yourself was a fire and it has inspiration unlike MWGO
The dress Ginger is wearing in the end rendition in Swing time is my favourite dress of all time.
Truly beautifully constructed.
That dress is the third character in that number.
I would add "Up Where We Belong" from Officer and a Gentleman, and "Stayin' Alive" from Saturday night Fever. Also "Ghostbusters" !! And one of my Favs is "You've Got a Friend in Me" - Toy Story. And what about almost the whole sound track from "The Graduate". So many, can't list them all. "Eye of the Tiger", and the theme from "Exodus" is heart-pounding.
Oscar Winners. Ghostbuster, Stayin Alive, and You've got a friend in me didn't win.
You do a great job of picking the best ones. I’m glad you recognized “Que Sera Sera.” The only one, for which I was waiting, but didn’t make your list is “Born Free.”
Thank you for the update, MsMojo..!! I've got to watch Once (2007). I have not heard of that movie until today.
Xanadu. Sweet Charity, Streets of Fire, White Nights. Hello Dolly, Carousel, Pirates of Penzance, The Music man. 'ya missed them all'
The fact Rainbow Connection lost the Oscar shows just how dumb the Academy really is.
That and Titanic, the most overrated movie EVER.
Aweee u don't say that when it goes ur way
@@CJ-im2uuAvatar and The Shining are way more overrated
@@thedevilsrockstxr2309 that really just gives more fuel to the fire of how bad the Academy is at picking the best anything.
@@billnolte8644 left to the fans it would be all b movies and subpar horror films...yall opinions be just as wacky, like people think Halloween 3 is good cuz 30 years went past
"Skyfall" is not only one of the best Bond songs ever, it's one of the best songs ever made! Adele changed the whole game with that iconic theme song for "Skyfall". I remember an interview where she was so nervous to perform at the Oscars in front of so many A listers and man, she knocked it outta the park
Sorry, But Live and Let Die is the best Bond theme song. Skyfall thoroughly forgettable to me
I recommend the Hal Leonard Choral’s Soprano-Alto-Tenor-Bass recording of “Skyfall.” As someone who doesn’t like Adele, they did it way better.
Goldfinger is the best Bond song. An oldie but a Goldie.
Celine Dion singing My heart will go on, is the reason I even wanted to see Titanic. Originally I had no desire to it then I heard the song and I was sold . I did end up loving the movie too.
I agree. I was never interested in JB until everyone was talking about Skyfall and that drew my attention to the movie
This channel needs chapters, like no other channel before. Without them, my heart will not go on...
Best Oscar winning songs:
My Heart Will Go On
Over the Rainbow
Beauty and the Beast
You’ll be in my Heart
When You Believe
A Whole New World
Can you feel the Love tonight
&
When You Wish Upon a Star
Streets of Philadelphia
These were all great picks, but I wish there'd also been mention of "Once Upon a December" from Anastasia.
Anastasia and Hercules came out the same year as TItanic. So even though the songs from Anastasia and Hercules are great, they didn’t win Oscars. “My Heart Will Go On” is the juggernaut that year.

Their choice.
wickedly talented........ I see what you did there MsMojo
Windmills of your Mind from the 1968 Thomas Crown Affair definitely deserves a place here.
Yes! Hard agree!
The way We Were….. I was 13 and it still grips me because It is beautiful piece of music. ❤
I’m so happy you mentioned When You Believe from The Prince of Egypt. I love the end credits version because of the lovely voices of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston

@@robertwilsoniii2930 Exactly!
A good friend of mine died from cancer the week shallow came out. I have cried so many tears to that song and I always think of my friend when I hear it. ❤
So very sorry for your loss 💔
Lovely to hear Cameron Duncan's name mentioned with "Into the West." He was a talented young man.
You didn't even name the best song from " A star is born" Judy Garland absolutely slays singing "The Man that Got Away"
Colors of the Wind from Pocahontas
Do not forsake me from High Noon
Lose Yourself is freaking awesome !
Que Sera Sera is a good catchy song. Plus it’s a 3rd motto for me about life.
What are the first two mottos?
Doris Day hated being assiciated with the son.
It’s a great song. My mom was a huge Doris Day fan and sang this song a lot. I can’t hear this song without thinking of her. RIP, Mom!😘
Philadelphia, Raindrops keep falling on my hat, The time of my life (dirty dancing), somewhere over the rainbow are my favourite
Honorary mention, Keith Carradine's "I'm Easy," for "Nashville" (1975).
I loveeee that song/ movie
I didn’t see Selma at the theaters but I did watch it at home. The song itself is beautiful and powerful. The mix of piano and rap is genius
I liked Sheena Eastern singing For Your Eyes Only as a Bond theme and Goldfinger sung by Shirley Bassey.
Also sad that Bright Eyes from Watership Down and Born Free😢 did not make it.
Also Against All Odds by Phil Collins.
Don't worry. This is NOT a very good list (they got about half right..) Some just really don;t deserve to be here at all, and others definitely SHOULD be.
You'll be in my Heart, Can You Feel the Love Tonight?, A Whole New World, When You Believe, Into the West,Flashdance and Take My Breath Away are my favourites.
"A Time For Us" from Romeo and Juliet
Excellent list. So glad you included Raindrops, Jai Ho (favorite movie end this century)
Plus thanks for mentioning the ironic ‘lore’ behind #1
❤😂😮😊 What a fantastic review of the top Oscar winning songs! Thank you for this brilliant review, and your narration is also Oscar worthy!
So many beautiful songs! My favorites
Time of my life
Moon River
Once
Raindrops keep falling on my head
Commendations for the diversity of songs chosen. and for willing to go back decades to cover so many great songs.
It should be divided by eras. There are tons of songs in every 10 years or so era.
I swear "I've had the time of my life" was played at every quinceañera in the '90s. It is iconic.
Anybody here who thinks "Up Where We Belong" should be on the list?
Here
Songs I’m very surprised that didn’t make this list
The Rose - Bette Midler The Rose
Everybody’s Talking - Nilsson - Midnight Cowboy
Up Where We Belong - Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes - An Officer And A Gentleman
Nobody Does It Better - Carly Simon - The Spy Who Loved Me
They should have put "We don't talk about Bruno" up for an Oscar, but they didn't realize it would become that popular.
That song would have made Lin Manuel Miranda an EGOT
Lin Manuel Miranda is a racist who had to threatened with a lawsuit by Actors Equity Union for his discriminatory hiring practices. Screw the bigot.
But it's not even the best song from the movie. Surface Pressure is far better.
Randy Newman is the guy Pixar uses for their ✨friendship songs✨ apparently 😂
Love these! Makes you remember the movie and watch it again!
Happy saturday morning, Phoebe, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.
Disney wins Oscars for songs that are from parents singing to their children 😭❤️
Eminem in the middle of a Disney sandwich was too funny
You did a great job with this list.
The Frames is one of my favorite bands and my favorite song has a brief show in “Once”. Fantastic movie. Fantastic songs. The Frames and Glen Hansard are phenomenal. Went to his concert a few years back and it was very moving and wonderful.

Good to see over the rainbow at the top. My all time favorite movie, and I also share a birthday with the lead actress.
So many of these movies had soundtracks that are still thrilling, but the Wizard of Oz pulls me back to my childhood. Her rendition is brilliant.
Gurl where is under the sea, colors of the wind and A WHOLE NEW WORLD WHICH WON SONF OF THE YEAR AT THE GRAMMYS

This is not intended as a criticism, but as a 77-year-old I find it sad that the trend today is to talk about music but not to listen to it: short snippets of songs among oceans of commentary.
I like 8 MILE and I love TOY STORY 3, COCO, and THE PRINCE OF EGYPT.
PRINCE OF EGYPT SOUNDTRACK HITS. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.
The opening of this movie and the opening to "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" tie for greatest movie openings, animated or otherwise.
"High Noon," by Dmitri Tiompkin and Ned Washington, who also wrote "When You Wish Upon a Star." (I like the original, Tex Ritter, version best.)
I would love to see a list of "songs not especially written for, but associated with a single movie" like As Time Goes By with Casablanca, What a Wonderful World with Good Morning Vietnam, and Singin' in the Rain with... you know.
Skyfall always reminds me of Shirley Bassey. Classic 007 sound.
U forgot the morning after from the Poseidon adventure
I was going to mention this too. Great melody and lyrics.
I agree with this entire list somewhere over the rainbow just gets you right here in your heart. Same thing with my heart will go on. Can You feel the Love Tonight and so many lose yourself is it is a very powerful song about somebody who just lived in Detroit, Michigan and somehow found his Fame. Dirty Dancing is a very movie. Makes you just want to get up and dance. It does to me all the time. I have never seen Skyfall cuz I'm not really a big James Bond fan like I was with Sir Roger Moore Coco remember me? Oh my God such a beautiful song. I feel so sorry for the guy who wrote the song. Not only was he you know killed but his family you know had to give up music because his wife thought you know something different that she he left her to raise their daughter Coco by herself and that's how they she became like a shoe maker kind of way thing. But yeah it kind of hits you right here with somebody that you lost and you only have like one one memory one song from them. I love music. I love movies so I guess I love the Oscars but I also love soundtracks
I think ‘Remember Me’ from Coco is just simply beautiful….. when hector sings it…. 🥰
I never get over these songs
I was hoping you'd pick, "It Goes Like it Goes" from the 1979 movie "Norma Rae." It was sung by Jennifer Warnes and won the Oscar for the best song of the year. I agree with it.
Epic list. Epic!
* George Benson's rendition of Michael Masser and Linda Creed's "The Greatest Love of All".
* Mike Curb Congregation's "Burning Bridges".
And a stack of other songs should have won Oscars.
I think the singers should be considered to win an Oscar as well even if they didn't write or compose the song the singer is the one that gives the song life, power they make you feel the lyrics, I think it is a strong contributor to the writers and composers, its a collaboration after all. I know its not the Grammys but we are talking about best original song and the singing is as important as everything else in my humble opinion.
I agree
Let It Go, My Heart Will Go On, Somewhere Over The Rainbow, When You Wish Upon A Star.
All have become part of our collective musical consciousness.
ARthur's theme should be on this list and I will always Love you from the bodyguard
When you believe at only 21 is a crime.
Phil collins and disney go so well with each other.
Anyone but me that thinks it was the biggest robbery that The Bee Gees did not get the Oscar for best song in 1977 or 1978? One of the most sold and popular soundtrack of all time did not even get a peep from the jury. No nominations, nothing ?
I was happy seeing 'When You Believe' made the list because it's still one of my favorite songs to this date from Prince Of Egypt along with 'Into The West' perfect song to close off an epic film trilogy like LOTR.
Over the Rainbow, nothing tops it. I went to a concert by Cuban Buena Vista orchestra in NYC. In between Cuban songs, the orchestra, jazz aficionados, broke into an instrumental Over the Rainbow, while holding their mics towards the American audience, and the audience obliged, singing a chorus over the rainbow. It was pure magic.
And the worst..."It's Hard out Here for a Pimp". From Hustle and Flow...losing out to Dolly Parton and her best chance for an Oscar for Transamerica with "Travelin' Thru". I will never get over that!
Even, Crash's, In the Deep was a MUCH better option. Good Lord. 😒
At my Dad's funeral we had a slideshow of pictures with him. The back ground music playing was Into the West. Even now 20 years later I'm torn two ways. I love the song from LOTR: and also sad because of my Dad.
Audrey Hepburn’s sweet voice was perfect for Moon River!
BUTCH CASSIDY!!!??? THAT SONG!!!??? Wow. Soooo would have never guessed. Surprising bit of trivia.
I Stan “Time of my life” from Dirty Dancing! ❤
I am not dumb, but sometimes it takes me a long time to catch things. Dorothy Gale gets caught up in a twister 😂
Queen Celine! Two songs in the Top 5!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
She is the one and only
The award goes to the writer(s); not the singer(s). But yes, Dion interpreted them very well.
@@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719 Yup, I am aware that she didn't receive an Oscar for either of these - but yes I agree her vocal performance for both (and Peabo Bryson's) were exceptional. 👍😉
Too many Disney songs. You missed the Carly Simon song from Working Girl Let the River Run and Jennifer Warnes It Goes Like It Goes.
