Never Smile At A Crocodile
"Never Smile at a Crocodile" is a comic song with music by Frank Churchill and lyrics by Jack Lawrence. The music, without the lyrics, was first heard in the Walt Disney Animation Studios film ''Peter Pan''. History Churchill, who had composed most of the soundtrack for Disney's 1937 '' Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'', composed "Never Smile at a Crocodile" in 1939 when ''Peter Pan'' was already in the planning stage. However, work on four other Disney feature-length cartoons led the studio to shelve the ''Peter Pan'' project until 1949. Churchill committed suicide in 1942 and the song was to be his only contribution to the ''Peter Pan'' soundtrack. The sung version with Jack Lawrence's lyrics was eliminated from the final print of the film when it was released in 1953. The final soundtrack contains only the instrumental version which is used as a leitmotif whenever the crocodile appears. However, the full version with vocals by Stuart Foster and Judy Valentine was released ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
