Under the Sea - The Little Mermaid (1989 film) (Samuel E. Wright) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Under the Sea" is the pearl in the ocean of the original The Little Mermaid soundtrack. Released in 1989, the LP was garlanded with a cornucopia of awards, securing multi-platinum sales and winning the Grammy Award for Best Recording for Children. Composed by Alan Menken and with lyrics by Howard Ashman, the calypso-influenced "Under the Sea" is sung by Jamaican crab Sebastian, who is keen to assure Ariel that "Under the sea we off the hook / We got no troubles, life is the bubbles". "Under the Sea" swept up the Grammy for Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture or for Television as well as the Academy Award for Best Original Song. It has prompted parodies and covers across the board over the years, including a fresh take from Shaggy in 2020. In 2023, a new version of "Under the Sea" sung by Daveed Diggs was featured in the Halle Bailey-starring live-action remake of The Little Mermaid.
