Honor to Us All - lyrics

[xoxIrishAlixox]

who work fast pace? is it just me or does that have 2 meanings?

[Livingshadow2009]

I don't know...I love the song but hate the meaning behind it.

1. Get married because your family tells you to so they can gain honor.

2. Be Calm, obediant towards your husband, work fast-paced have good breeding and a tiny waist

3. bear sons

...sorry it just seems so...demeaning towards women

[xoxIrishAlixox]

@Livingshadow2009 it's the way it is in China trust me I spend a lot of time in Hong Kong!

[TheatreKid543]

@Livingshadow2009 Remember: it's ancient China. Even in modern China (because of the one chile law) parents will kill or abandon an infant if its a girl: it sucks, but is the truth.

[Neopetixan]

@Livingshadow2009 that's the point, to show you how they were orientated.

[littletif]

Has anyone ever realized that it was all the cricket's fault?

[MaryTheresa1986]

@littletif I did!

[xoxIrishAlixox]

@littletif we noticed

[allineed4ever]

Is Mulan's luck so bad that she has to worry about uprooting the family tree?

[picklequeen72298]

"Who spit in her bean-curd?"

[KyuubiKetsu]

@Alisamihabib2 No, they meant the person who would prepare bodies for burial.

[Alisamihabib2]

2:23 Scarier than " The Undertaker " .....

Did they mean that wrestler (19-0) ???

[VampireNightmare12]

@Alisamihabib2 The Undertaker is someone who prepares burial rituals or cremation and make arrangements for the funeral.

[ferretbuddy97]

And even you can't blow it- exactly what people say to me

[Fantabulous10121]

I love going through Disney songs :)

[jphreak958]

@xoxIrishAlixox that was the culture of the time period Mulan would have taken place in.

[xoxIrishAlixox]

obentient? work FAST PACE? is it just me or does that sound wrong?

[iwillwalkbyfaith753]

* note

[iwillwalkbyfaith753]

when that last not ends i always expect to hear: FA MULAN PRESENT!

Speaking without permission....

Oops

Grandma: Who spit in her bean curd?

XDDDD

[TheBo139]

"And even you can't blow it!" Ehmm... grandma... she blow it!

[TheMaddiet123]

i love the grandma in the movie espiscally the part when she crosses the street with the "lucky" cricket and when shes on the other side carts and peolpe and animals are all over the place

[tialuful]

@TheMaddiet123 YES!!! that part was so fricking funny!!! i was in hysterics!!!

[littlemissginny1]

"Calm, obedient and work fast-paced."

Wow, I'm the matchmaker's worst nightmare x)

[LovesDrWho24]

I haven't seen any songs from Spirit, could you do some please?(:

[Zelterin]

@LPSProductionr52

but the whole film tells exactly that what a girl shouldnt do , and this ist just one song and not the film

[TheMrsFreddyKrueger]

But, yeah, you know...no pressure.

[LPSProductions52]

This song taught little girls that if they wanted a husband to be thin and work because men don't care about brains or anything like that. :3

[AuroraWhispers]

@LPSProductions52 Yet the film taught us to defy what society 'expects' of us and using your brains to save all of China from evil Huns. Thats when Mulan gets her man.

[CWolfyWolf]

Mulan: Amazing and culturally historically accurate.

Mulan II: Horrible and culturally historically innaccurate.

This is why old Disney is better than new Disney.

[cheesequeen523]

@CWolfyWolf hey! mulan 2 was amazing as well! disney is awesome no matter what!

[CWolfyWolf]

@cheesequeen523

Five words: The Princess and the Frog

[Fuck New Disney]

[cheesequeen523]

@CWolfyWolf i.... eh yeah, but the songs were okay.

[CWolfyWolf]

@cheesequeen523

Nooooooooope.

[Ivy93zke]

@CWolfyWolf have you seen tangled? I thought that was pretty good. But as a general rule i agree, old disney was way better

[crysaleye]

I luv this movie so much.

Mulan is so BADASS!!!

[ilive4music109313]

My favorite part: "Scarier than the undertaker, we are meeting our matchmaker!" xD

Loved that for as long as I knew what they were saying (last year)

[keshagalx925x]

That grandmother on there reminds me off mine crazyy!:D

[chelseylawrence81]

LIKE A BOSS!

[SuperChandler98]

I love the violins when the grandmother sings the beads of jade part.

[ATWarriorPrincess]

I wanted to watch the movie but I couldn't find it anywhere! I was so mad at myself!

[moraz21]

every time I hear the part when the grandma says "And even you can't blow it",I imagine mulan and her mom giving her a look that says "What that's saposed to mean?"

[spootization]

thats it- im watching the movie!

[PancakeFingas]

This is the most sexist Disney that I have ever heard but I love it! I'm complicated, aren't I?

[toph13139]

Disney Princess Level: Asian, indeed.

[NaturallyJade3]

Hey, its "my recipe" not "me recipe" ;] not picking or anything x

[IceytheSorcereress]

...Why does it say, under the like/dislike bar "As Seen On: Wizard101 Central"? Am I the only one confused here?

[thae2020]

@IceytheSorcereress lol now that you mention it...WTF?

[MissElegantAssassin]

Undertaker is not scary he's SEXY!!!!

[TailsandCosmo10001]

I love Mulan's Grandma! XD

[heatherjasper97]

3:06 minus one syllable and it sounds like we are meeting our maker.

[DarkRY1211]

Pft sounds like my family. Except, instead of getting married to someone they want me to be as perfect and smart as my brother. Damn him for setting the bar so high...BUT IMMA BE LIKE MULAN AND SAVE ALL THEIR BUTTS ONE DAY. SOMEHOW.

[Midnightslotus]

@DarkRY1211 Oh God, that's the same situation with me. My brother's extremely smart and because of that I'm expected to live up to his standards. Even though we're completely different types of people in terms of talent and personality.

[DarkRY1211]

@Midnightslotus *hugs* Finally soneone who understands me!! Don't worry, my friend, you are not alone!! xDD

[RoyalLouLouFish]

@DarkRY1211 Undertaker from Black Butler is amazing. I aspire to be as magical and creepy as him. ...Or maybe to be as feminine as Grell. Eh, who knows?

[BigBlueEyes15]

When I was little I didn't even know what the hell they were saying in this song (horrible listener as a child)

When I got a bit older, I remember yelling angrily at the screen for the whole first part of the movie because of all the sexism

But now I just chill and laugh at this song like "LOL whatever, she's gonna save all your stupid asses later! :D"

[Mjackson42]

how did i get here by the crzy cat lady eating cat food...?

[wontmakeorbreakme]

Each a perfect porcelain doll. Am I the only one who would take that as an insult?

[iamkingdomhearts]

@wontmakeorbreakme i do to

[shortstack251]

Thumbs up if you were singing along

[Shadowbane509]

@disneydreamerdancer Hired help.

[disneydreamerdancer]

wow, that's pretty interesting, yet harsh, but you're right on Disney killing almost every mother in almost every movie, but I guess Disney has got their reasons....

BTW. what happens if the lady don't want a boy... LOL!

[CAPfabulus]

Scarier than the undertaker, we are meeting our matchmaker.... Lol win!!!

[disneydreamerdancer]

A GIRL BY BEARING SONS?!?! 0__o

[MissKit091]

@disneydreamerdancer Sure, in ancient China that was the only reason why girls were necessary. If they didn't have boys, they were deemed worthless. Probably too heavy of a subject for a Disney song, but at least it's accurate. lol Can't be worse than them killing Bambi's, Nemo's and damn near every other mother in Disney history. lol

[shigurl100]

can u lesson number one? from mulan number 2?

[MegaRuvarashe]

NOW ADD A CRICKET JUST FOR LUCK

[ChloeSueLovesYou]

The part where it layers...omg, chills.

[Ahansefy]

"boys will gladly go to war for you" no offense matchmaker but mulan is the one going to war for THEM :)

[iamkingdomhearts]

@Ahansefy yea i bet the matchmaker didnt see that one coming

[Eantrin]

It is me? Or is it scary how historically accurate this is to not only china, but most of the world at this time? History, the fun way! :D

[HostClubOtaku94]

I just watched my school play of this movie, It was pretty awesome. :3

[TheLilnunu]

Me, behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladdin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with 7 men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac Man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies that always had the munchies. The fault is not mine! If you had this childhood and loved it repost

[iwillwalkbyfaith753]

@TheLilnunu true dat true dat

[KaitoChibiLover]

Mulan <3

I love this song from the movie

[OlaNaTungee6]

I always thought it was an "apple for insanity"...

[11Sweeneytodd]

mulan......I love her voice so much

[lubsit1]

what the heel is good breeding suppose to mean!?!?!?!?! are they talking about sex!?!?!??!

[princessvulpix100]

@lubsit1 uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh yes yes they are

[wishywashywara]

WOW this whole scene just came flooding back in my memory! i remembered almost everything! even the gasp after "tiny waist"

[ThaliaHawke]

@wishywashywara ikr? the part that i keep remembering is where her mother grabs her wrist and asks "uh what are these?" and she's like "uh.... notes?"

teh little things <3

[TheAnimeMonsterr]

Hey i LOVEEE THIS THIS SONG! xD but just letting you know at 0:25 with the "Trust me recipe for instant bride" Its my not me ^-^ but its a great song thanks for uploading

[PercyJacksonFan613]

I am not:

A: Calm

B: Obediant

C: The kind of girl who "works fast paced"

I do have:

A: Good taste (Proven by listening to this song)

B: A TINY waist (102 pounds and 5'6" at 13, is that good? I don't think so)

C: The ability to kick my brother's butt in a fight

[EliteAwesomeness]

@PercyJacksonFan613 we have A & C I'm 12, 127 lb.s, & 5' 2"

[Gryffinclan]

If it were me having to go through that then the song would've ended with a gunshot as I went postal.

[NejiHyugaLover14]

I remember cheering on Simba when he fought Scar. I remember booing at Ursela, when she took Ariels voice. I remember fighting the Huns side by side with Mulan. I remember the wind through my hair, running by Pocahontas. I remember being locked in the Beast's castle. I remember laughing and having fun with Mickey and his friends. I don't remember watching Teen Drama on stupid Disney Channel. Copy and paste this to all you favorite Disney Videos, and let's start a revolution W/ Disney 4ever

[liahkhute]

Eh, you guys says she isn't a Disney Princess cause she's so bad ass.

BUUUUUT! They totally have her with the rest of the Disney Princesses in the Disney store lol

She's just the "I'm-too-bad-ass-to-be-a-prits­y-princess-so-I'm-just-gonna-c­hill here-cause-I-saved-China-like-­a-BOSS" type of princess lol

[Heylilvelvet]

@liahkhute ALL girls, even the ones that are made up, are all princesses no matter what! just cause mulan fights well, doesnt make her not a princess, of course shes a disney princess! shes a chinese warrior princess :) and always will be :D I'll Bring Honor to Her in China! :D

[liahkhute]

@Heylilvelvet Lol, thats what I pretty much stated in my comment above =]

[iamkingdomhearts]

@liahkhute heck ya!!

[wishywashywara]

@liahkhute i was in the disney store a week ago andthey have versions of all the princesses including mulan as toddlers AND Mulan actually looks chinese! i was extremely glad.

[liahkhute]

@wishywashywara Omg! I saw it too! They're so cute :D

[wontmakeorbreakme]

@liahkhute I don't think of Mulan is a princess. I really don't, by don't dislike her though. As a matter of fact, the only reason I liked Mulan was because she wasn't a princess and the very reason I don't like Mulan II

[LovesJess]

@liahkhute

Nope. She's NOT a princess. She didn't start out as one and she's ended up one. She was even helping princesses tht actualt were princess so gosh tht proves it! lol However. She was TOO MUCH hardcore epicness >:DDD And a hugely popular Disney Heroine so they would set her in tht area since i guess little girls wouldnt think to tell the diff just then anyways lol

[liahkhute]

@LovesJess I honestly dont think it matters if she is or isn't a princess. In everyone else's eyes, she is one...Soo.

There we go.

[LovesJess]

@liahkhute

blah typo :P- * She didn't start out as one and she never ended up as one

there we go :3

[WolfeyesVIII]

@liahkhute Or just the "appeal to multi-audiences and claim being inclusive capitalist marketing" princess...I mean, I LOVE Mulan, fav heroine out of the Disney animated movies but I wouldn't call her a princess and it has nothing to do with her being a badass.

[liahkhute]

@WolfeyesVIII I think people take my comment too seriously. Dude, it was just a joke.

[Eantrin]

Is it me, or is it scary how historically acurate this song is to ancient china? Disney really went the extra mile with their movies *sigh* if only their movies were as good today...

[TheMuffinBurgler]

@Eantrin I think it's historically accurate to all countries though. The US was marrying off their daughters in the same way for the same reasons until just a few decades ago.

[zoedawg14]

@Eantrin i know! i miss their movies from back when i was little! most of them were pretty good

[yummyjohnnydepp]

Mulan is waaay too badass for Disney to consider her as a princess. She isn't weak and defenseless, and she sure as hell doesn't need a man to save her! In fact, i seem to remember SHE was the one who saved the man's ass ;)

[PurpleWindows192]

I love how this movie was released in my birthyear, 1998! ;D Go Mulan!!!!!!!!

[202cardline]

Mulan isn't a Disney princess?

She was my favorite.....xD

[deadlyflower13]

@202cardline

She is.

[AmyyLouiseJones]

Mulan kicks ass >:)

[AwwsumWQ]

How is it that whenever I click on one Disney song video I end up clicking on at least 8? This is my 11th. XD

Disney is ... *cough* WAS awesome.

[blahblahblahigivx22]

When the music ends the Match-maker comes out

Match-maker: Fa Mulan?

Mulan: Present!

Match-maker: Speaking without permission.

Mulan: Opps...

[246Skittles]

Am I the only one who bursts out laughing at "Scarier than the Undertaker, we are meeting our Match-maker"???? xD

[iamkingdomhearts]

@246Skittles i do to

[edwardsnumber1fan1]

@246Skittles No you are not cause I do too! :)

[wontmakeorbreakme]

@246Skittles By the fact that you've capitalized the u in undertaker, I'm assuming that you're talking about the wrestler? Please tell me you know that an undertaker is someone who deals with dead bodies, hence why undertakers are associated with fear and why it is used to show that the matchmaker is serious business?

[DarkRY1211]

@246Skittles Lol, do you mean Undertaker from Kuroshitsuji(aka Black Butler) xDD Because he's pretty scary!

[MKgirl44]

@DarkRY1211 Lol, I always think of Undertaker from Black Butler when I hear that line, he my second fav character (Sebastian's my favourite!)

Anyways, love this song! xx

[nekomaniac13]

I'm going to play this song while getting ready on my wedding day

[balletgirl21100]

scarier than the undertaker? lol?

[musiciangirl591]

mulan should have been a disney princess, she's the ultimate feminist

[ChiheisenChan]

@musiciangirl591 you are so right! i wish that more would be smart enough to think like that =)

[567avril]

My friends would start singing this to me when my mom would say I was filthy cause I was supposed to be the perfect child -.- I'd rather have my man wait for me while I go to war than vice versa :)

I love Mulan <3

[VheeByrne]

THIS IS MY JAM! lol

[p5l12]

i LOVE the song! but i hate the part when it says " men want girls with good taste, clam, obediant, who work fast-paced with good breeding and a tiny waist" i mean thats bull shit i mean obediant?? and a tiny waist? really???

[MKOCW1]

@p5l12 actually in many cultures they do want the woman obedient. almost like a slave. tiny waist was thought to be a good son bearer

[p5l12]

@MKOCW1 yeah but still it sounds mean

[p5l12]

dont you ever wonder how they came up with the story of mulan??

[JrocksAnime]

@p5l12

I have, which is why I looked it up a while ago.

It was an old Chinese ballad/poem. 

[p5l12]

@JrocksAnime if it was a poem how did they make it into a movie? lol whats the poem about?

[JrocksAnime]

@p5l12

I tried pasting some links here but it wouldn't work so I'll just tell you where I went.

First, type "hua mulan" into Wikipedia. Second, google "hua mulan legend" Try looking at some of the results for more information. I suggest the 5th one down.

Hope I've helped:)

[p5l12]

@JrocksAnime lol okay cool thx =) this will be helpful

[Tenwaystokill]

@p5l12 It's a Chinese Legend.

[p5l12]

@Tenwaystokill really? how?

[WarriorHawkSpirit]

lol "and even u cant blow it." Well, sorry grandma but she did.

[sailororien]

what mulan is a disney princess what you guys talking about

[kagomenarue]

@sailororien Disney doesn't include her as a Disney Princess along with Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty. :/

[sailororien]

@kagomenarue um u must be mistaken i suggest u go to disney.com look for disney princesses and they'll show u the officail ones so plz don't tell me i;'m wrong with a fact i definately know and i have seen so plz check to make sure ur right about something before tellin me i'm wrong

[kagomenarue]

@sailororien Really? That's cool, I've always wanted her included! :)

[knuklesiscool]

mulans so like me i hate when my family dresses me up like a doll but i do it eney way

[EnchantressLaina]

I think most of the Disney girls are badass. Ariel is feisty, Jasmine uses her sex appeal, Meg pretty much does the same but has a sad background story, Belle tames Adam, Jane is quirky, Pocahontas follows her heart, and Mulan kicks butt.

It's Cinderella, Snow White, and Aurora that kinda bore me.

[monny287]

@EnchantressLaina

Kudos to you for using the Beast's real name. ;)

[crazy4wolvez]

I hate to be a grammar nazi, but at 0:25 shouldn't it be "Trust my recipe" instead of "Trust me recipe"? 

[meriana83]

how did women deal with men back then their had to be more girls like mulan

[panchelbel007]

Personally, I'd rather not stay around town where I'm expected to be quiet and pretty all the time. I'd join the army.

[MjmNeeChan]

Crap... I'm the bride from Hell then xD

[devilshomie]

Mulan took one look at the disney princesses and said "hell no I'm just gonna be a bad ass and save china all by myself instead have being the perfect housewife and bearing seven kids" her, Tiana, Meg, and Belle are my favorites

[Kerriangel]

A girl who is calm, obediant, works fast-paced and has a tiny waist?

Well judging by that I am the Matchmakers worst nightmare because none of that applies to me!!

[sonicwinx77]

@Kerriangel Me 2. Im a girl and im not very calm, I only obay my parents and teachers and no one else, im not very fast paced and my waist is only 7 out of 10 % tiny

[SweetDeath777]

why would anywant to turn into a purse?

[NinjaJudai19]

Omg thank you sooo much for posting the lyrics!! I have been wondering what they were saying @ some parts for awhile XD

I hope you continue

[Zalera2Death]

This was the song where they were trying to make her a disney princess

Everyone: Time to become a Disney Princess.

Mulan: Okay LOL jks I'll save China instead.

[FurstyCheesegrater]

I'm a guy, but I still think this song is amazing. Is that odd?

[NarutoUzumaki1712]

@FurstyCheesegrater not at all. i like it too.

[KauaianRapunzel]

@FurstyCheesegrater & @NarutoUzumaki1712 you two are funny. haha.

[JOBROSandME]

this is the first time that i really read the lyrics and they are so beautiful!

[TheresaStarshine]

mulan IS a disney princess. look it up

[Blaterator]

You guys do realize that Mulan was real, and she really did go to war in place of her father?

It's a really cool story!

[Dreamerxx8]

Ironic how the cricket was supposed to bring luck when it actually caused all the commotion xD

[sasukesgirl62]

Awh, this brings back good days ^_^. I remember helping my friend get ready for our grade 8 grad and randomly I burst into singing "This is what you give me to work with? Well honey, I've seen worse! We're going to turn this sow's ear, into a silk purse!~" and I didn't expect anyone to get the referance but it turns out they did. It makes me happy when people remember their childhood 8D

[pokenaru97]

i know this is overdone but ITS AMAZING HOW GREAT THE OLD DISNEY MOVIES WERE! I LOVE IT!!!!!

[08skydancer]

We need more girls like Mulan.

[kayleighshay]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[tdwt4eva]

Whenever her grandma talks she reminds me of like Yoda's wife. I know he doesn't have 1 but if he did she would sound like Mulan's grandma, know don't get me wrong i love this movie im just saying like matter-of-factly lol

[Akamuru999]

omg, i was singing this song all day in my head and then suddenly found this. Perfect timing!

[NaaraxHatake]

Love it. Have you ever made The Fox and the Hound lyrics?

[xXOkeeshiaXx]

^-^ yay! who cares if she's not a "Princess", Mulan got to save her country and epically defeat the main villain.

[SailorKag]

I love this song so much and I love this movie, to bad mulan wasnt one of the disnesy princesses. She kicks butt ^^

[kdbennett2009]

@SailorKag disney wnt their princesses to be weak and defenseless, so when they brought mulan into the pic, she kicked so much ass that they couldnt bring her into the fold.

but i believe tht mulan was the greatest story ever created

[TyrantLubu]

@kdbennett2009 It's okay, Disney can say whatever they want, she's still a princess to us :D

[donnellia24]

@kdbennett2009 thank u! we need more mulans! jeez!
