The Scuttlebutt - The Little Mermaid (2023 film) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"The Scuttlebutt," a rap track from the 2023 live-action adaptation of Disney's The Little Mermaid, encapsulates a pivotal moment in the narrative where Scuttle and Sebastian share their conjectures about the Prince's potential bride. Sung by Awkwafina and Daveed Diggs, the voices of Scuttle and Sebastian respectively, the song brims with the unique blend of wit and dramatic irony that's signature to Lin-Manuel Miranda's lyricism. The song was penned by the Hamilton creator alongside legendary composer Alan Menken and revolves around the characters' baseless rumors regarding Prince Eric's impending marriage. They speculate Ariel to be the bride, unknowingly pointing to Ursula in the guise of Vanessa. Musically speaking, "The Scuttlebutt" showcases Lin-Manuel Miranda's knack for narratively-driven rap, while the performance of Awkwafina and Daveed Diggs brings a lively, dynamic energy that's both entertaining and poignant. The film's original soundtrack, which features beloved tunes from the original film as well as three new tracks composed by the trio of Lin-Manuel Miranda, Alan Menken, and Howard Ashman, peaked at Number 121 on the Billboard 200 and reached the top of the Soundtracks chart.
