Disney Sings!

The other day I ran across this absolutely amazing cover of the famous single from the Disney movie “Frozen” – “Let It Go”:

No matter how old we are I believe there is always a child hidden deep in there in our hearts and this child is revealed whenever we encounter something like this video. I am personally a big fan of Disney music and I think there is hardly anyone who doesn’t like the world of magic recreated within Walt Disney and Pixar Studio works.

“Let It Go” was composed specially for “Frozen” and was chosen to be released as performed by Demi Lovato. Like with many popular songs, “Let It Go” immediately was chosen as one of the favorites for making covers. But Brian Hull made something very special of his cover version. He mixed the most popular Disney/Pixar characters’ voices and made them sing the song one by one. Even closing your eyes you can recognize your favorite heroes: Captain Jack Sparrow, Winnie The Pooh, Scar, Mickie Mouse and others. A very lovely mashup that brings back a bit of magic (at least it did for me:) ).

Devil Woman

Ambrose Bierce wrote in his "Epigrams of a Cynic": When God makes a beautiful woman, the devil opens a new register. I do think that there is something devil-ish in every woman but that, so to say, could be taken in the most positive sense possible. If well-measured, that makes a very good part of the feminine attractiveness and has always been luring for men.

However, if there is too much of a devil about a woman it may become dangerous.) Just as happened in the song of Marty Robbins “Devil Woman”. It’s curious that this 1962 single obtains a slightly different meaning when performed in other languages. Thus, the Spanish version by Chucho Avellanet is called “Magia blanca” (sp. ‘white magic’) and the Serbian interpretation goes as “Čudna devojka” (ser. ‘strange girl’). Strange, devilish or magic – the women are nevertheless amazing in all their aspects.

Today on the International Women’s Day I would like to wish all ladies of the planet to stay so charming. Please keep making men happy and do not lose the little devil in you. Merry Holiday!



O woman, perfect woman! what distraction
Was meant to mankind when thou wast made a devil!
