It's not "Beauty and the Beast" but it's certainly one of the best soundtracks to come out of Disney in years. The "Man of LaMancha" undertone to "I, Ivan Krank," the militant inspiration of "Small and Mighty," the surprisingly affecting and somber "I'm Moving On," the jazzy "Take the Money and Run" and a new version of the TV theme song "I Want To Be a Boy." Clever lyrics that will have you laughing, catchy tunes that will have you humming, and...well, I was sort of hoping there was a third thing for me to comment on. Nevertheless "Teacher's Pet," be it the show, the movie or the soundtrack, is sensational entertainment for anyone and everyone.

This is a very good CD. "Teacher's Pet" is my favorite song on the CD.

The following is a reply to CowPunk©'s question:

"What I really wanna know is; who did this arrangement of the 1956 Joe Lubin tune "Teacher's Pet"? (Doris Day recorded it in 1958)

It's driving me wacky... I know it had to be one of my old '80's power pop faves now making a living in Toon Town cuz their kids are watching the same shows as mine. Which is cool- just who is it? I do love that Power Pop sound.

No, that's Christy Carlson Romano. She played Ren Stevens in "Even Stevens" and voices Kim in "Kim Possible"(both Disney Channel series).

I agree about the sound.

The happiest score in years! These are songs to memorize and sing along with. More fun than a B'way cast album. Think of South Park, Family Guy or Simpsons, except that everyone can join in the song-fest!

I'd like to discuss this soundtrack with anyone interested...especially you, Bondorf. My email address is Janarrah1@aol.com....I think this soundtrack was fairly radical for Disney...almost on par with the South Park soundtrack. ONe of the songs struck me as a (sunconcious?) take on "Be Prepared" from The Lion King...but since they got away with using the Blue Fairy/Pincocchio riff and this is a Disney production, the rules of fair use are pretty flexible. What other songs did any of you hear echos of in this soundtrack?

Certainly some of the tunes are funny and some homages to Disney classics contained therein. Redeeming social value? Get a life! I believe the soundtrack in this case is worthless without the visuals. Anyway, "Teacher's Pet" is much better as a 30 min TV gig.
