6.)I want the Good Times Back-TLM on Broadway

[Imagin8io]

ehh, these lyrics are actually amazing, really Ursula...but...ah I dunno I don't like the tune XD, it's too comic for the Ursula I love. Just my opinion.

[bingotheraccoon]

@Imagin8io

I agree. She isn't a brassy quirky, kind of villain. She's like the evil queen or Maleficent... Glamorous. This is too... It's almost something Jimmy Durante would sing...

[vita164]

@bingotheraccoon Ursula reminds me of Killer Queen in WWRY :)

[druvirus]

@TaylorMarita Given that their father is Poseidon, I chalk it up to the fact that this is based off of mythology. I mean, why does anything really happen in Greek mythology? Gods being born out of body parts and crazy stuff like that happens on a regular basis.

But, if you want a plausible-ish answer, she may not have originally been an octopus. She dabbles in dark magick .. so who knows what happened. Spell gone wrong, maybe?

[pbscraze]

@TaylorMarita That one remains a MYSTERY to us all.

[Adler36]

I want the good times back, too! :(

[jesuscountrygal95]

I LOOOOVVVVEEE THE EELS!!!! They r so cute in the show. Wish i could meet them <3

[krowking123]

@TaylorMarita i..... i dont know........

[MrAndrewsaccount92]

We can all relate to this song but we don't all have wicked intentions. Plus Flotsam and Jetsam's solos make it sound delightful like the "good times" I would like to re-live.

[vamprix97]

This is by far my favorite ursula song.

[ShadowDarkweed]

I love this son. It's interesting. The villain never really thinks they're evil, and this song is a perfect description of that. I love how Ursula has dreams of her own, and uses evil words to describe it, but never really means them in the way we would think they are being used.

[MrTheodosios]

Love This Song!!

[TheBKLD]

Not a fan of this actress. I don't know, her voice just bugs me.

[fineIdareyou]

All the Broadway Ursulas rock, but I like the original Ursula from the original film the best!

[Aleu]

The Ursula in the musical looks more like Morgana, don't you guys think ?

[frymahhide1982]

@Aleu I thought that as well. Maybe she was easier to re-create than Ursula.

[Aleu]

@frymahhide1982

haha when I thought of "Ursula on Broadway" I pictured a big black woman XD

She's skinny, it flips me out haha

[zimstinka]

@Aleu

Morgana or Ursula, it's the same actor, although I admit Ursula is way cooooler

[treblemaker21]

so wait, if she got half the sea from her father what does that make Ursula to Triton? Do they explain it more in the musical?

[dericjeter2]

@treblemaker21 Poseidon was their father and they were brother and sister

[TheWordThief]

@treblemaker21 they're brother and sister

[shadowkitty56]

If I had to redo this production, I would have looked for a woman with a contralto/low alto voice and a gospel background. A nice, big girl with a healthy vibrato from Harlem's choirs would have been more fitting for Ursula. With any lluck, I'd have a G-rated version of Mama Morton :)

[shadowkitty56]

I am not sure that this was the best choice. Ursula was originally written as a contralto (lowest female range) for a reason: a hint of vampishness, sexiness, a woman who's not afraid to get naughty.

[singingfloutist]

"squid pro quo" hahahaa

[fireslam23]

I understand that Ursula from the movie version is fat and huge and that the stage version of her is skinny and her tentacles are huge and she is also skinny-looking.

[luisvillalona]

i cant bellive there last show is august 30

[StefanoFan27]

wow.

[BillyxDx]

I love this song.. I am addicted to it I listen to it alot every day xD

[broadwaydude2378]

does she say a bad word when she sings "the whole___works"?

[whiplash567]

yup. the whole damn works. ;)

[broadwaydude2378]

but it makes more sense to say "the whole plan works" don't 'cha think?

[broadwaydude2378]

besides isn't this show supposed to be safe for little kids to watch? i don't see why they had to put it in there

[matttie62]

well, ursula IS a bad guy... but yeah, personally i would have substituted the word too.

[garden4garden]

it is a musical they need the song and the song is not that scary

[monkpie101]

but the broadway version is full of adult humor-yeah, little kids watch the musical, but they shouldn't know what it means, so they won't repeat it. We did this song 4 my middle school musical and i dunno wat we did!

[BrokenFWD]

@broadwaydude2378 oh come on, disney uses bad words all the time. they just do it so you feel it. like the villans in sleepy beauty and hunchback use HELL.

[thecryptcreeper]

@broadwaydude2378 it isnt a really bad word i\ts not like nobody has heard it before

[clefspeare14]

@broadwaydude2378 yes sir, that's when they need to add the sensor! lol...

[21stCenturyBOTHERInc]

Man, what I'd give to play Ursula, I swear...

She's awesome, probably one of my favourite Disney villains.

[goldengreaser]

@21stCenturyBOTHERInc I would love that part too. She's so bad. it would be fun.

[TheCoryChannel]

@21stCenturyBOTHERInc Ya Disney villains are the most fufilling characters to play, theyre great. I was able to play Jafar in Aladdin

[AxelisBodatious]

she doesn't seem selfish enough. a girl who did sang it in my school did a better job.

[borntosingyeah]

ay por favor!!!

[TheTeeShirtShow]

i totally want good times back!

[slr31]

sherie rene scott is absolutely incredible. she made ursula her own...not just a carbon copy of the cartoon.

[oprahnoodlemantra]

I agree. Most who don't like it only complain that she's different from the original.

[madhatterbecky]

They originally out it in the movie that they were brother and sister in the film but decided to cut it out (so it says on the deleted scenes on the special edition DVD)

thanks for putting this on youtube :) xx

[theatergirl21]

No thats not true whatsoever in the first movie of little mermaid she talks about when she use to live in the palace (Kingdom)she doesnt really tell us there brother-sister but she was and did live there. Watch the movie.

[horsemania3]

i had no idea king triton and urusla were related

[Grimreach]

They were made brother-sister for the Broadway musical.

[horsemania3]

so that means they aren't really related?

[carogirlyaya]

they are brother and sister, the people who made the movie planned it from the start, but they accidently forgot to put it in the script and by the time they realized, it was too late to add it in. (or somthng like that)

[BelladonnaJojo]

They were tryng to decide to make them brother and sister or make her his old lover-they never decided and wrote the script around it, then realized they didn't need either

[broadwaydude2378]

i'm confused.

[battleoneliac]

They are. Fun fact: Triton and Ursula's father was Poseidon, God of the Sea in Greek literature. I believe it says so in the original versions of 'Fathoms Below' and 'Poor Unfortunate souls'.

This song...it isn't URSULA. This lady, talented, yes she is! Ursulaesque? Not so much for me. *Shrugs* It's not that she did really bad or anything. It's just my opinion.
