A Look at Disney Sets Sail For Adventure On Music Fridays # 133: Peter Pan Covers








Argh,  welcome  back aboard  me ship, the SS Fluttershy and today, we be taking a look at  covers from the songs of Peter Pan.  Let's begin.



Second  Star  To The Right  -  Jonatha  Brooke


Our first  cover  is of  perhaps  of the most famous  song from Peter Pan and  one that could give a solid run for  Disney theme song  alongside "When You Wish Upon A Star"  and one of for this version... yawn.  I'm sorry but  there is no life, in this version.  It's just boring.  Compared to the original that  had an exciting opening that you got excited whereas this one feels  more like a lullaby and I'm not saying that can't be done.  It's  just so dull and lifeless that there is nothing there.  Then again, this was used to open Return To Never Land, so that doesn't surprise me that there wasn't  much effort put into this cover.



You  Can Fly,  You Can Fly,  You Can  Fly  - On The Record


Now  I know that  the singers in this one  may sound a little too old but they're from a musical revue  stage show, On The Record that had a loose plot of putting together a Disney compilation soundtrack  and hey, anytime I can feature On The Record makes me happy as it's my all time favorite Disney soundtrack and while this version of the song is relatively short as it leads into another song, for what we hear, it's not that bad.


Your  Mother and Mine  


I  don't  know the name  of the young lady that is singing as I just randomly  found this on YouTube and WOW, is she good.   It's very sweet and precious and almost dream like.  It sounds like something you'd  hear  in a stage production.   This is really good.

Never  Smile  At  A Crocodile  -  The Muppets  


What's   funny  is that  this  was  actually  cut  from the film  but  mas  made appearances  with it's  lyrics  such as on  a Disney Sing-Along  and  here, you hear it  being sung  on  The Muppet Show  and I gotta say,  the lyrics  fits the silly and zany   atmosphere  that The Muppets  inhabit.    It's  pretty good.


There you  have  it,  my  look  at  some  Peter  Pan  Covers.  I hope  that you've enjoyed  this.  Peice!
