[Played in the Parks] A Special Feature on Iconic and Popular Songs from Disney Halloween

Door to FreedomNEW!Alan Menken

Rapunzel on the Tower: The Door to Freedom

This song, in which Rapunzel sings of her longing for the outside world in Disney’s 2010 film Tangled, was composed by Alan Menken.

It’s featured in the park as well, including in the Tokyo Disneyland show Dreaming Up!, and has also been performed in Disney on Classic.

Resonating with anyone who yearns for dreams and freedom, it’s a perfect track for a lively Halloween party where you enjoy dressing up with friends.

This Is The Thanks I Get?!NEW!Chris Pine

Masaharu Fukuyama – To the Rude Ones (From “Wish” / Japanese Version)

In Disney’s feature-length animated film Wish, this is the villain song that portrays King Magnifico’s state of mind.

Set to a catchy melody, the lyrics blend his anger at not being appreciated despite all he’s done for his people with his craving for self-aggrandizement.

The complex expression of emotions—where a ruler’s narcissism coexists with a victim mentality—is particularly compelling.

It’s a perfect pick for anyone dressing up as a villain who wants to savor Halloween’s eeriness from the perspective of evil itself.

Friends on the Other SideNEW!Keith David

Friends on the Other Side

The villain song sung in the scene where Dr.

Facilier, the antagonist from Disney’s The Princess and the Frog, tempts the protagonists with his magical powers.

Its allure lies in a mysterious, dramatic sound rooted in jazz, blues, and the indigenous music of New Orleans.

The rich low tones of the vocal brilliantly convey the villain’s slyness and seductive charm.

Released in November 2009, it was included on the soundtrack album The Princess and the Frog (Original Songs and Score) alongside the film.

Balancing eeriness and splendor, this track is a great recommendation as background music to whisk guests into an extraordinary world at a Halloween party!

Once Upon a Dream

Maleficent theme song English

A film produced with Maleficent—the witch from Sleeping Beauty—as the protagonist.

Characters like Princess Aurora and Prince Phillip appear, and the story is newly told from Maleficent’s perspective.

The main theme song is “Once Upon a Dream,” whose grand, beautiful sound embraces feelings of loneliness and solitude.

Paired with lyrics that depict warm affection, it’s a healing piece of music.

Try using it for a moving moment at your Halloween party.

Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me)George Bruns

Pirates Of The Caribbean – Yo Ho A Pirates Life For Me

“Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me)” was created as an insert song for the film Pirates of the Caribbean, which depicts the grand adventures of pirates.

It’s also known as a signature piece for the series and is sung by the protagonist Jack Sparrow and the heroine Elizabeth Swann.

Featuring a lively, upbeat sound that evokes fun-filled days with friends, its catchy phrases make it a perfect track to amp up a Halloween party.

We also recommend trying costumes inspired by the film’s striking characters.

What Time Is It?Matthew Gerrard、Robbie Nevil

High School Musical 2 – What Time Is It?

It’s a song from the Disney movie High School Musical 2.

It captures the excitement you feel the moment class ends, so listening to it naturally makes you want to start dancing.

It could be perfect for anyone who wants to dance to the music at a Halloween party, don’t you think?

Symphonic Scherzo “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”Paul Dukas

Dukas: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice | Dukas: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

It’s a symphonic poem by the French composer Paul Dukas, one of his signature works.

A perfectionist, Dukas destroyed most of the pieces he didn’t like during his lifetime.

This work is said to be one of the few masterpieces that survived.

Known as Dukas’s breakthrough piece, it was used as the music for the story in Disney’s 1940 film Fantasia, in which Mickey Mouse appears as the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, making it even more widely beloved.

Don’t you think its thrilling, comical tone—where clumsy imitation of magic leads to utter chaos—perfectly matches the exciting, heart-pounding atmosphere of Halloween?
