A song that was requested by quite a few people (albeit not necessarily their first choise) until just over an hour ago I thought this would be a certainty for top 10.

As recommended by Phill's friend who happens to be a massive Disney fan, good advice I say.

We have a tie for 11th and 10th place, unfortunately this one didn't scupper as many voters as the song that managed to sneak past into the top 10. As a young child Ursula used to terrify me like no other Disney villain could (although Jafar from Aladdin came very close) to the point where I could no longer bring myself to watch The Little Mermaid.

Watching it back now all I see is Jo Brand.

Ursula's design was supposedly based on Divine. Which is quite subversive for Disney.

It's a double whammy for The Jungle Book, scat singing decades before Electro Velvet tried to make it cool again. The scene were Baloo enters dressed in drag never fails to tickle my funny bone.

Another song that was widely requested and something I'd expect to win right from the very start. I do wonder if the poor sound quality on the video affected this one's chances as I could only hear it through one ear and it seems I wasn't the only one.

Clearly this Disney themed contest was a great idea because it managed to lure back Peter, wonderful song choice.

I have big beefy speakers on my computer, so I didn't notice that. The 'big' Disney hitters should be memorable enough anyway. I mean how can anyone forget this glorious interpretation...

Thanks for the points all, especially geeky for the 12!

Pinocchio was the second film to be produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios following Snow White. If you think this song sounds familiar it's probably because a segment of its melody is used for the Walt Disney logo shown before the films.

This was a late entry as it was sent in after the deadline had ended but I allowed it because I'm nice (what do you mean fixed?!) not to mention that this is in my opinion one of the greatest Disney songs ever written so I'm very glad it cropped up at the last minute.

Wow good job you did, couldn't have had a Disney round without this. Thought it would've been snapped up near straight away, had it on my list.

So has Ross managed to run away with it or have I just gone and won my own contest? It wouldn't be the first time!

Without a doubt one of the greatest productions Disney have ever made despite only being released this year. Thank you to everyone who voted for the song, I honestly didn't expect to do this well.

Fun fact: The main character Judy Hopps is voiced by Poli Genova in the Bulgarian version and Zlata Ognevich in the Ukrainian version. The latter of which has recorded her own rendition of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6om0njaFnBE

But let's save the praise for this week's champion!
