Memorable Voices and Tunes

Michigan J Frog
This cute wittle Warner Bros. fwoggy's first appearance was in the cartoon "A Very Froggy Day" . He is most famous for singing "The Michigan Rag" (the song which his creator named him after) but he also sang a variety of other songs as well:
  • Hello! Ma Baby
  • I'm Just Wild About Harry
  • Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone
  • Largo aAl Factotam
MJF also sang short monologues informing parents that children watching should not let their child wacth the next showing on TV (he typically did this before shows liek Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel were about to start).

Jiminy H Cricket
His little tune "When You Wish Upon A Star"  was incredible, in fact, it's the song i sing when i need to calm down or I'm really stressed (don't judge, do you  have a happy song?!). And Jiminy also played his role in the minds of the youth. He appeared in a series of educational shows called "I'm No Fool", encouraging kids to stay in school;
I'm no fool, no sirree!
I'm gonna live to be [23,33,53,93,103]
I play safe for you and me
'Cause I'm no fool!
Other highlights of his career were the numerous musical sing alongs he hosted, including the biggest Disney songs of that time.

Snow White
Okay, so alot of Disney movies had musical numbers in them so i really tried to avoid Disney but I want to say something. HER VIOCE ANNOYS ME SO MUCH! It's sweet and all, but when I heard her sing in the movie I got that feeling you get after chugging down a spoonful of table sugar (for those of you who can relate). I'm not even going to color the text.
 I think that so far Ariel has the prettiest voice, tell me if you think differently.

Uncle Remus

He is the one who sang Zippidy Doo Dah! Along with a collection of folk songs through animal stories. The main focus of Uncle remus was to present the music of the African American citizens. i believe there are four books full of his songs.

 Hmmm... can't think of anyone else...
So I'll ask you guys! (sorry I'm not from Texas, i don't say y'all). Can you think of any characters that snag or had memorable songs (can't be in Disney movie songs though)?
