Thread Name: Lyr Req: Whale of a Tale
Subject: RE: Got a whale of a tale to tell you lads....
(looks at Celtic Soul with a quizzical expression)

"What I want to know is, why not use the trad stuff? Not like they'll have to pay royalties, and it would be 1000 times better than the stuff they have their Hollywood musicians (who obviously have little knowledge of folk) write?"

Does this truly surprise you? (blinks innocently) After all, they don't use the traditional story lines they rip off... which were at least a hundred % better in the folk tales and fairy stories! I wonder if they would have had to pay Hans Christian Andersen's estate if they'd kept to his original concept and let the Little Mermaid die?   

Oh, sorry, don't want to 'creep' this into an anti-Disney thread! (quickly gets down and tugs her soapbox off into a quiet corner...)
