- Are we sort of in competition against one another or--
- [Interviewer] Oh, if you'd like to be.
Absolutely! - Yeah!
- No!
We never do well when we're in competition.
- That was a dumb question, sorry.
- [Interviewer] "We tell jokes,
"I do tricks with my fellow candlesticks.
"Perfect taste--" - Oh, that's "Be Our Guest"!
♪ We tell jokes, I do tricks ♪
♪ With my fellow candlesticks ♪ ♪ Candlesticks ♪
- Yeah, and then (mumbles)
I don't know.
(laughing)
- [Interviewer] Do you have a favorite line
from "Be Our Guest"?
- Oh.
♪ Tie a napkin 'round your neck, cherie ♪
♪ And we will do the rest ♪
- "We provide the rest."
- "And we provide the"
See, this is the problem.
He gets mad at me 'cause I rewrite
all the lyrics in my head.
- I think my favorite line is,
'cause it changes the rhythm a little bit, it's like,
- Which one?
- Course, it's the kick line.
- ♪ Course by course, ♪
♪ One by one ♪
♪ 'Til you shout, ♪
♪ Enough, I'm done ♪
I love that part. - Yes.
- ♪ Enough I'm done ♪
- [Interviewer] "I don't care what they're going to say.
"Let the storm rage on."
- Oh, okay, that's "Let It Go."
"The cold never bothered me anyway."
- "I don't care," yeah.
- Yeah, we got that one.
Actually, this is a secret.
People don't know that there was a moment
that they wanted us to cut,
♪ The cold never bothered me anyway ♪
They wanted us to finish the chorus, so you had,
♪ Let it go, let it go ♪
♪ Can't hold it back anymore ♪
♪ Let it go, let it go ♪
♪ Turn away and slam the door ♪
♪ I don't care what they're going to say ♪
♪ Let the cold rage on ♪
And then they said like,
"Can you finish the chorus, instead of that thing?"
and we had to push back.
- [Interviewer] "Say amen, there he goes again.
"Sweet and undefeated an awesome 10 for 10."
- What?
- "Say amen,"
it's gotta be "Hercules", right, it has be "Hercules".
"Awesome 10 for 10".
- Oh, yeah, is it The Muses?
♪ Bless my soul, Herc is on a roll ♪
That's all I know from that one.
(laughing) - "Person of the week in every
Greek opinion poll."
- Yeah. - Yeah, there you go.
She has the lyrics.
- We saw Roger Bart sing, "I Can Go the Distance"
25 years later at Alan Menken's
- New York Pops--
- New York Pops Concert.
- Concert, which we're doing this year.
- But you could tell, Roger Bart had not really sung
or looked at the song for a while,
and like he sang it for the movie, and then,
he was called - He was so good!
for this concert 25 years later.
And there was the, you could tell,
he didn't know the lyrics,
he was reading them,
but you could tell he was gonna hit it.
And there's a little bit of, like, musical run up,
and then he hit that big note, it was like,
♪ I will find my way ♪
And everyone went "woo!"
So awesome - It was amazing.
- [Interviewer] "Where are you going?
"Don't leave me alone.
"How do I follow you?"
- "Into the Unknown."
(laughing)
- So,
♪ Where are you going? ♪
♪ Don't leave me alone ♪
♪ How do I follow you ♪
(imitates cymbals clashing)
- But there's this voice that's going,
(singing)
- Oh yeah.
You know, - It's just doing this crazy--
that part of the song was not in the first draft of it,
because the way we just ended it
with the big duet with,
(singing)
Yeah, that part. And then there was a musical, kind of
mysterious piano part, and then we thought
that the nokk was gonna arise from the river.
But then they scrapped that idea,
and they were like, "Can you write an ending?"
So we were like, "But it's not supposed to have an ending."
It just took us so long to figure out, like,
oh no, we could write one.
- But Chris Buck is the one who was like,
"Guys, give us the big ending,
"that'll give us, like a real button."
We were like, "Oh, we're allowed to have a button?"
- We wrote one measurement ending and they were like,
"That's okay, but could you write it a little longer?"
and we went, "Okay, we'll give you
"a two measure ending,"
and it eventually became a four measure ending.
