Cartoons and Their Music

Recently, I have had the privelage of revisitng some of the movies from my childhood, mainly, Aladdin and The Jungle Book. It's funny how I always used to think it was normal that people would just spontaneously break into song. Nowadays, though, the harsh reality that we are living in a musicless world has hit me with full ferocity, and I no longer entertain the delusion that life could be so interesting so as to inspire song in the hearts of men. I know that I certainly wouldn't be singing while I have a bunch of freaky-looking, snaggletooth, turban-wearing dudes after me with swords just because I swiped a loaf of bread. Similarly, I really can't picture myself singing along with four hippy vultures either. Oh well, maybe something exciting in my life is just around the corner. I said, "just around the corner"! Rats, it didn't jinx the fates. That only works when you really don't want something I guess.
