Sing It To Me #1

It’s a wonderful day down here in the small town of Merrydale, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the forecast shows nothing but clear skies for the rest of the week. It’s the perfect fake day to reveal the start of a new segment called ‘Sing it to me’, which is perfect for when I am quite bored or haven’t posted in a long time, but cannot think of anything to post about. I thought of this while sitting in my biology lecture about cell organelles thinking about how I know all of this information already; it got me thinking about other things that I know, like the lyrics to many Disney songs. The plan is to choose a song from a Disney movie and analyse it to the point of lunacy, and of course without serious intention. I hope my interpretations don’t all end up being rather sexual, but they most likely will. Today I feel the need to post about a song from one of my favourite (but not my absolute favourite) Disney sequels: ‘For a Moment’ from ‘The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea’.

Melody:
Ok, get a grip, get the hang of this flipper
She is obviously trying something new, I would say ‘flipper’ is code word for ‘penis’.
it's like slipping two feet into one big, huge slipper.
Well I did not expect such a young girl to be that loose, or that kinky.
This way left, but which is right?
Losing your virginity can be awkward; it is tough to know where you are going.
Well now I'll be circling in circles all night.
She is determined to get the hang of it, even if it takes all night and numerous sexual encounters.

(Oh, so this is forward? No problem)
She has managed to get into the rhythm now after an undisclosed elapsed amount of time in which she practiced.

I can't believe I can do this and more,
to swim in the sea like I walk on the shore.
Out of my shell, not closed up like a clam.
This is a metaphor for being able to have proper sex as easily as she can pleasure herself. She is no longer ‘closed up’ and has confidence.
Look out sea,
this is me,
here I am!
Young Melody wants the world of sex to know that she is ready for it.

For a moment all of me
is alive and at home in the sea.
This ‘moment’ of feeling alive in the ‘sea’ of sex is simply her fantastic, toe-curling orgasm that many girls have never, and will never achieve; that bitch.
I'm swirling and twirling so graceful and grand,
not stubbing my toes, getting stuck in the sand.
Melody has developed such a skill that she, unlike many women who often feel bloated, whale-ish, and awkwardly positioned during sex, is graceful like a floating angel riding a ‘horse’.

For a moment life is cool
i'm a splash in the world's biggest pool.
She loses herself in these moments, getting a thrill out of being undirected and lost, she is one step away from the blindfold and handcuffs, which leads to the whip and then in turn the leather; next thing you know she if urinating on her partner and asking him to bite off one of her toes.
This is more than my thoughts ever thought it could be.
For a moment, just a moment, lucky me.
This statement is pretty self-explanatory; this sex makes her feel good, perhaps due to some daddy issues that we have not been shown that occurred between the filming of the first and second movies.

Ariel:
If only for one moment
I had shared with you all I know.
The sea wouldn't be a mystery.
Oh why did you have to go?
Ariel, Melody’s mother, has realised that her daughter is gone and logically concludes that in avoiding the sex talk, she has driven her daughter away into the vast ‘ocean’ to find out about the mystery that is sex. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and she is doinking all of them for a reasonable fee.

Melody:
Everything's newerand brighter and bluer
and truer to life than before
watch me soar!
This refers to the bright blue pills that her pimps Tip and Dash have gotten her addicted to, and which she often accepts as payment for her sexual favours. They are just one more way to make her feel alive; to make her ‘soar’.

For a moment I can shine
got a grin and a fin that works fine.
The repetition of ‘for a moment’ is not to reiterate the fact that she is fairly good at sex, but rather to show contrast between her early sexual experiences that lifted her spirits and showed her ‘a whole new world’ (oh the Disney connections, just wait for me to sink my teeth into that one), and her new and current attitude towards selling her body for drugs and money which now seems to be her only skill; her only means to live.
My fingers are wrinkly and I really don't care
if all the curls have curled out of my hair.
Melody is finally coming to terms with the fact that the drugs are deteriorating her health with symptoms such as ‘wrinkly’ skin, and that her origins as an innocent girl trying to find her way have been cast into shadow by her now dirty hooker image for which she does not even have the energy to simply fix up her hair. She has lost all pride in her appearance and is just living client to client, pay to pay.

For a moment I can feel
all the dreams I've been dreaming are real.
Wish my mother could hear it
the sea is my song.
For a moment, just a moment I belong.
Melody is sending word to her mother that she does not wish to be found. Acting as though all is well and that her every dream has been fulfilled, she hopes to forever avoid the worried, terrified, and disappointed expression on Ariel’s face as she sees her daughter for what she has now become.

Ariel:
I will find you, my darling.
And the moment that I do
I'll hold you close, my Melody
and sing the song of the sea with you.
Sing the song of the sea with you.
Ariel, as a mother, has powerful intuition that Melody’s new life is not all that she would like it to be. She continues her search and knows that she will not be deterred by whatever her daughter looks like, but will hold her close and explain how sex should be; hopefully it’s not too late to save her once innocent mind.

Melody:
For a moment, just a moment
I belong.
Feeling that sex is the only way that she can belong, Melody is too far into her life now to be rescued and will continue to run from reality.

This song is about a young girl going through puberty and blazing hormones without the help of her mother, who shared little to no information of sex with her, so her journey was difficult. She discovered sex on her own and did not have the proper guidance, and so, ran off to discover such a thing for herself. Her path was an unlucky one and due to a certain turn of events, she eventually became a hooker. Later in the movie she meets to young men, Tip and Dash, who seem friendly and take her on an adventure; I take them to be her pimps. Her mother, Ariel, has realised her mistake and regrets not sharing with Melody everything about sex even at her young age.

This has been an experimental process and I would love to hear feedback or even suggestions of different Disney songs; I promise I will try to avoid making every single one based on something sexual. Thanks for reading.
