On this episode, Kirk climbs to the top of a snowy peak and summons all his magical powers to figure out why Elsa of Arendelle's self-coronation song rocks as hard as it does, and what it says about the evolution of Disney musical numbers over the past 30 years.Band/Artist: Idina MenzelAlbum: Frozen Original Soundtrack, 2013Composed by: Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert LopezListen/Buy via Album.LinkALSO REFERENCED/DISCUSSED:"Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey from Escape, 1981"Part of Your World" by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman from The Little Mermaid, 1989"A Whole New World" by Alan Menken and Tim Rice from Aladdin, 1992"When Will My Life Begin?" by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater from Tangled, 2010"Defying Gravity" by Stephen Schwartz from Wicked, 2003"How Far I'll Go" by Lin-Manuel Miranda from Moana, 2016  ----LINKS-----💰 SUPPORT STRONG SONGS!Patreon | One-Time Donation🏠 HOMEPAGE👚 MERCH💬 DISCORD SERVER📬 KIRK'S NEWSLETTER🎸 KIRK'S GEAR & INSTRUMENTS🎶 KIRK'S MUSIC📷 KIRK’S SOCIAL MEDIA:Instagram | YouTube | Bluesky🎧 EVERY STRONG SONG:Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube Music🎨 SHOW ART:Tom Deja, Bossman Graphics
