Disney is renowned for its cheerful, family-friendly songs, but some surprisingly dark tracks exist. This article explores Disney songs with shockingly disturbing lyrics and themes, ranging from villain anthems to relics of outdated pop culture sensibilities.
Disney is known far and wide for the fun, family-friendly songs in their movies, but some of them are surprisingly dark. The best Disney songs teleport audiences of all ages to magical worlds of wonder far removed from the tedium of reality, making for an enchanting experience both visually and auditorily. However, some Disney songs go against the company's typical reputation with some shockingly disturbing lyrics and themes.
9 One Jump Ahead Aladdin From A Whole New World to Prince Ali, Aladdin is one of the strongest Disney soundtracks of any animated feature, even all these years later. For the most part, the lyrics of each song remain fairly tame, staying well-within the expected boundaries of a family-friendly Disney picture. However, one glaring exception remains with One Jump Ahead, a solo Aladdin song early on in the film.
7 Pink Elephants On Parade Dumbo Another strangely terrifying song to introduce a poorly-aged Disney villain, Pink Elephants on Parade is a bizarre reprieve from the story that interrupts Dumbo. Beginning when Dumbo and his cute mouse sidekick accidentally get rip-roaring drunk, the hallucinatory sequence begins with the pair seeing an illusory group of pink pachyderms marching into their vision.
5 Savages Pochahontas Another Disney song made controversial over time thanks to the increased awareness of political topics in the modern day, Savages is as harsh as Disney tracks come. As both the white settlers and Native Americans of Pocahontas' tribe prepare to war against one another, both factions of warriors join together in singing a war song that diminishes the human characteristics of their opponents.
