Be Prepared
from The Lion King (1994)

I know that your powers of retention So prepare for the coup of the century
Are as wet as a warthog's backside Be prepared for the murkiest scam
But thick as you are, pay attention Meticulous planning, tenacity spanning
My words are a matter of pride Decades of denial is simply why I'll
Be king undisputed, respected, saluted
It's clear from your vacant expressions
And seen for the wonder I am
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared-
Even you can't be caught unawares Be prepared!
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared-
So prepare for the chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news Be prepared!
A shining new era is tiptoeing nearer
And where do we feature? Tasks:
Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid but you'll be rewarded 1) Language
When at last I am given my dues!
And injustice deliciously squared Although this song is from a children's movie, it
Be prepared! contains some pretty advanced language. Try to
translate some of the tricky words:
Yeah! Be prepared, we'll be prepared! For what?
For the death of the king Retention =
Is he sick? Sordid =
No, fool! We're going to kill him and Simba, too
Great idea! Who needs a king? Dues =
No king, no king! La la la la la la! Quid pro quo (from Latin) =
Idiots! There will be a king!
But you said- Littered =
I will be king! Addressee =
Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again!
Murky =
Yay, all right! Long live the king!
Meticulous =
Long live the king!
Tenacity =
It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a king who'll be all-time adored Undisputed =
Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board 2) Language
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee The line "My words are a matter of pride" is
The point that I must emphasize is actually a pun; a play on words (ordspil).
You won't get a sniff without me! Figure out why!

Be mine or you will burn
Then tell me, Maria
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
Why I see her dancing there
God have mercy on her
Why her smold'ring eyes still scorch my soul
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
God have mercy on me
Cogitatione (In thought)
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)
But she will be mine
I feel her, I see her
Or she will burn!

Is blazing in me out of all control
Tasks:
Verbo et opere (In word and deed)
1) Analysis
Like fire Frollo is more complex than the typical Disney
Hellfire villain. What kind of inner conflict do we see in
This fire in my skin this song?
This burning
Desire
Is turning me to sin 2) Discussion
Some have claimed that this song is too mature
It's not my fault for a Disney movie. Do you agree with this?
Mea culpa (Through my fault) Why/why not?
I'm not to blame
Mea culpa (Through my fault)
It is the gypsy girl
The witch who sent this flame
Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous
fault)

Mother Knows Best
from Tangled (2010)

You want to go outside

Oh
Why, Rapunzel?
Look at you, as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay up in this tower
(I know but)
That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear
Go ahead and leave me, I deserve it
Let me die alone here, be my guest
When it's too late, you'll see, just wait
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Take it from your mumsy
On your own, you won't survive

Guess I always knew this day was coming Sloppy, under-dressed

Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest Immature, clumsy
Soon, but not yet Please, they'll eat you up alive
(But)
Shh, trust me, pet Gullible, naive
Mother knows best Positively grubby
Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm, vague
Mother knows best
Listen to your mother Plus, I believe
It's a scary world out there Gettin' kinda chubby
I'm just saying 'cause I love you
Mother knows best
One way or another Mother understands
Something will go wrong, I swear Mother's here to help you
All I have is one request
Ruffians, thugs
Poison ivy, quicksand Rapunzel?
Cannibals and snakes, the plague (Yes?)
(No) Don't ever ask to leave this tower again
Yes (Yes, mother)
(But )
Oh, I love you very much, dear
Also large bugs (I love you more)
Men with pointy teeth and I love you most, hmm
Stop, no more, you'll just upset me
Don't forget it
Mother's right here You'll regret it
Mother will protect you Mother knows best

Skip the drama 1) Analysis
Stay with mama This song is a mix of positive and negative lines.
Mother knows best One of you must highlight the positive parts,
while the other highlights the negative parts.
Go ahead, get trampled by a rhino What is your overall impression of the "mother's"
Go ahead, get mugged and left for dead intentions - good or bad?

Me, I'm just your mother, what do I know? 2) Analysis

I only bathed and changed and nursed you Try to characterize the mother based on this song.
