Theme:
Walt and Oscar make Beautiful music. Five (!) theme answers are Best Song Oscar winners from Disney animated movies. Two of them grid spanning, two are almost, and the middle one misses only by two. Wow. I had no idea.
A 17. Best Original Song Oscar winner from ... Disney's "Pocahontas" :
COLORS OF THE WIND.
Who is the savage?
A 23. ... Disney's "Aladdin" :
A WHOLE NEW WORLD.
Magic Carpet Ride.
A 39. ... Disney's "Song of the South" :
ZIP-A-DEE-DOO-DAH. Mr. Bluebird's on my shoulder.
A 53. ... Disney's "Mary Poppins" :
CHIM CHIM CHER-EE. Are you feeling lucky?
A 61. ... Disney's "Monsters, Inc." :
IF I DIDN'T HAVE YOU. Those dreams do come true.
Hi. gang. Jazzbumpa here. It's my pleasure to take you on a wonderful musical adventure today. There was a time when Gareth and I were joined at the virtual interface - just by chance, each of my blogging dates lined up with his puzzle publications. I think we hit three in a row that way. But this is our first meeting since then, and it's been far too long. Let's segue right into the action.
