In praise of Disney’s pop punk phase

I almost couldn’t believe this when I saw it: Disney put out an album of pop punk covers of Disney songs called A Whole New Sound, which includes:

  • Simple Plan playing “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”
  • Yellowcard playing “A Whole New World”
  • New Found Glory playing “Part Of Your World”

I would just like to shoutout whichever 40-year-old at Disney got the greenlight for this. As Boomers retire and we Millennials take over positions of power, I hope we keep doing stuff like this. Suggestions for the follow-up album:

  • Midtown playing “I’ll Make A Man Out of You”
  • The Starting Line playing “How Far I’ll Go”
  • Sherwood playing “Oo-De-Lally”
  • The Rocket Summer playing “Almost There”

Please and thank you. 🤘
