Top Ten: Disney Songs!

Beating out a great song like Randy Newman’s You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from Toy Story takes a special song indeed and Colors of the Wind is that. Our heroine is waxing to the naive John Smith about the importance of understanding and appreciating nature. Throughout the song, we get the beautiful landscapes of 18th century United States. The song itself is as huge in scale as it is in content, with its descriptive lyrics (which you can see above) unbelievable majesty within its film context it is no wonder it beat out Newman for the Best Original Song  Oscar in 1998.
