"Wellerman" - Postmodern Jukebox

Postmodern Jukebox

Postmodern Jukebox puts such a fun twist on familiar songs. This ragtime version of the sea shanty "Wellerman" is delightful.

"Saving Grace" - Spider-Noir

Marvel's Spider-Noir is such a fantastic addition to the Spider-Man Universe. And the music is great as well. 

Spider-Noir is available now on Amazon Prime Video.

"Along the Way" - Moana

Lin-Manuel Miranda has written a new song for Disney's live-action Moana. "Along the Way" is performed by Maui (Dwayne Johnson), and two Moanas: the original animated Moana (Auli'i Cravalho) and the new live-action Moana (Catherine Lagaʻaia). The result is fantastic.

Moana arrives in theaters on July 10th.

The Mandalorian and Grogu Theme Music

The music from The Mandalorian and Grogu is so iconic. It sounds like a western and a space movie combined, perfect for a story in the Star Wars Universe. 

The Mandalorian and Grogu is in theaters now.

Save the Day - SZA

Pixar's Hoppers is the story of young Mabel and her extraordinary efforts to be a part of the animal kingdom and save their home. This song, "Save the Day" is the perfect theme for her journey.

Illumination's Sing movies have fantastic music. Listening to the soundtracks always brightens my day.

Golden - KPop Demon Hunters

Sony

"Golden", a song from the animated movie KPop Demon Hunters, won the Oscar for Best Original Song last night. It's such a fun, upbeat song. I haven't watched the movie yet, which also won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, but the kiddo is definitely a fan.

KPop Demon Hunters is available on Netflix.

Go The Distance - Disney Ambient: Rain

Disney

The Disney Ambient: Rain album is surprisingly calming. The songs played on piano over the sound of gently falling rain is quite lovely. This song is "Go the Distance" from Hercules. 

Five additional songs are available on the Disney Music Vevo channel on YouTube.

The Muppet Show Theme

Jim Henson Company

Isn't it funny how a single song can take you back to your childhood? I loved watching The Muppet Show as a child. The Muppets were wild and crazy and you never knew quite what they'd get up to in each episode. And it was always fun to see the guest stars and the insanity they'd get pulled into. I hope the new special is the start of a new era for The Muppet Show.

The Muppet Show is available now on DisneyPlus.

Mr Blue Sky - The Muppets

Jim Henson Company

There's something truly enjoyable about watching the Muppets perform. Here, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem take on Electric Light Orchestra's "Mr. Blue Sky."

I'm really hoping this is the kind of performance that will be included in Rock 'n' Roller Coaster after the Muppet transformation. 

Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Lady Gaga

Who knew Lady Gaga singing "Won't You Be My Neighbor?", the theme song from the beloved Mr. Rogers Neighborhood, would be exactly what we need right now.

Disney

Disney's Wish has some of the best songs. 

Wish is available on DisneyPlus.

You've Got A Friend In Me

The Toy Story movies have some of the best songs that are sure to brighten any day. Can you believe that the original Toy Story turns 30 this year? 

Shchedryk - André Rieu & his Johann Strauss Orchestra

André Rieu

Did you know that the Christmas song popularly known as "Carol of the Bells" was based on a Ukrainian New Year's song called "Shchedryk"? This performance by André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra features Anna Reker singing the traditional folk song in the original Ukrainian. Its quite lovely. 

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree - Brenda Lee

Brenda Lee

This fun Christmas song made its debut in 1958 when Brenda Lee was just 13 years old. In 2023, for the 65th anniversary of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", she released a music video that is an absolute delight.

I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm - Pentatonix

Pentatonix

Pentatonix's latest Christmas album is another great mix of  Christmas songs both old and new. And one of the songs is a bit of both: an unreleased recording of Frank Sinatra with some added vocals by Pentatonix. The result is this delightful version of Irving Berlin's "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm".

"Bah Humbug" - Pentatonix

Pentatonix

Pentatonix's latest Christmas album is filled with a delightful mix of songs both old and new. One of the new songs, "Bah Humbug", is based on Scrooge's journey in A Christmas Carol. It's fantastic.

Pentatonix's Christmas in the City is available as a CD, record, and from various music streaming services now.

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" - Postmodern Jukebox

Postmodern Jukebox

I love the way Postmodern Jukebox takes familiar songs and gives them a retro twist. Their latest song is an Andrews Sisters-style version of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You."

Now, it feels like Christmas!

"Zoo" - Zootopia 2

Disney

It's nearly time to head back to Zootopia for another adventure with Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps. And that means new songs from Gazelle (Shakira), too. This lyric video is for "Zoo".

Zootopia 2 arrives in theaters on November 26th.

Rest In Peace - Muppets Haunted Mansion

Jim Henson Company

I've enjoyed watching the Muppets Haunted Mansion every Halloween since it debuted in 2021. It's so funny and clever, with some quite memorable songs. This song by the Caretaker takes place in the cemetery of the Haunted Mansion.

Muppets Haunted Mansion is available on DisneyPlus.
