Alright folks,
it's that time again.
the time when i obsess over a new movie.
what is this movie you ask?
Tangled.
It's about Rapunzel.
All of the songs from the movie are favorites.
But, there is one that I find particularly funny right now,
and that is the song, "Mother Knows Best"
SONG: Mother Knows Best
ARTIST: Mother Gothel/Donna Murphy
ALBUM: Tangled Soundtrack
This is Mother Gothel.
Evil sorceress who kidnaps Rapunzel because of the special power of her hair. Rapunzel's hair has the power to keep good ol' Mother Gothel young.
One day, Rapunzel asks to leave the tower, and MG's response is this song:
Mother Gothel:
You want to go outside? Why, Rapunzel...!
Look at you, as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay up in this tower
Rapunzel:
I know but...
Mother Gothel:
That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear
Guess I always knew this day was coming
Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest
Soon, but not yet
Rapunzel:
But --
Mother Gothel:
Shh!
Trust me, pet
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Listen to your mother
It's a scary world out there
Mother knows best
One way or another
Something will go wrong, I swear
Ruffians, thugs
Poison ivy, quicksand
Cannibals and snakes
The plague
Rapunzel:
No!
Mother Gothel:
Yes!
Rapunzel:
But --
Mother Gothel:
Also large bugs
Men with pointy teeth, and
Stop, no more, you'll just upset me
Mother's right here
Mother will protect you
Darling, here's what I suggest
Skip the drama
Stay with mama
Mother knows best
Go ahead, get trampled by a rhino
Go ahead, get mugged and left for dead
Me, I'm just your mother, what do I know?
I only bathed and changed and nursed you
Go ahead and leave me, I deserve it
Let me die alone here, be my guest
When it's too late
You'll see, just wait
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Take it from your mumsy
On your own, you won't survive
Sloppy, underdressed
Immature, clumsy
Please, they'll eat you up alive
Gullible, naïve
Positively grubby
Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm vague
Plus, I believe
Gettin' kinda chubby
I'm just saying 'cause I wuv you
Mother understands
Mother's here to help you
All I have is one request
Rapunzel?
Rapunzel:
Yes?
Mother Gothel:
Don't ever ask to leave this tower again.
Rapunzel:
Yes, Mother.
Mother Gothel:
I love you very much, dear.
Rapunzel:
I love you more.
Mother Gothel:
I love you most.
Don't forget it
You'll regret it
Mother knows best
*shudder* she's SO evil!!!
and yet, you can't help but laugh.
one of the funniest/creepiest parts of the song is when she says,
"the plague"
if you see the movie, watch for that part!
go listen!!
