Under the Sea has made history as an Academy Award recipient for this Disney film created song. This song composed by Alan Menken including lyrics by Howard Ashman has a heavily Calypso sounding beat in the common style of the Caribbean islands. Performed by Sam Wright the tune was created as a plea from Sebastian the Crab to Ariel begging her to stay a sea creature and to resist her great urge to become fully human. Sebastian understands that the lure of being with the Price is what calls Ariel to the human life but wants her to understand how much more carefree oceanic life really is.
This 2002 song was also featured in the video game Kingdom Hearts as background music for a section of the game known as Atlantic world. In the year 2007 this song was actually added to the Broadway production of the film as well. Having come from the hit movie The Little Mermaid had already given this delightful piece of music a kick start in its popularity.
The history of the song includes the fact that this song is still currently played at Disney theme parks worldwide as well as frequently on Disney Cruise lines. It is much considered a love song and even though its origins and even its words can indicate a fishy life, millions of listeners have found themselves caught up in the nature of the pain of the suffering Sebastian when trying desperately to hold onto a friend.
