Hello everybody! I trust you had a great weekend and are now going back to work for another five days! Well, to help you through the next five days I have declared it Country Music Week at Covering the Mouse. Now before all you country music haters decide to never return to my blog ever again, I'd like to say that I have a good mix of covers that focus on the different areas of country music, so you won't hear Tim McGraw wannabes for the next week.
To start of Country Music Week we have TANYA TUCKER singing her version of Snow White's Some Day My Prince Will Come off THE BEST OF COUNTRY SING THE BEST OF DISNEY
cover album from 1996.Tanya Tucker is no stranger to country music. She had her first hit single, Delta Dawn, in 1972 at the age of 13! (A year later Delta Dawn was recorded by Pete's Dragon's very own, Helen Reddy!) Since then she has done everything a country music artist could hope to do in a life long career: She has released 26 albums with a 27th coming next year, she's had number one hits, gold records, grammy awards, written a book, played at the super bowl half time show, been inducted into the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame and starred in a reality tv show called Tuckerville!
Her version of Some Day My Prince Will Come turns this sweet love ballad into an upbeat country hoe-down! She breathes new life into this song without completely destroying it. She also adds a verse at the beginning that I haven't heard before. I don't know if she wrote it or if it comes from another version. If anyone can help please leave a comment! UPDATE: A reader has let me know that these lyrics are from the film. It is the conversation that Snow White and the Dwarfs have before she sings this song. I've just never heard these word sung before and I guess that's why I didn't recognize them. Thanks for the help!
I know that fans of this song will find this cover a little hard to swallow but the arrangement is nice and it turns the song into a song of excitement for when the Prince actually does arrive!

these lyrics are Disney - from the scene in the dwarves' cottage when snow white and the dwarves are singing and dancing after dinner.
Hello, just found your blog and wasn't sure if you'd yet discovered a copy of the ska band Suburban Legends performing "Under the Sea."
Wonderful blog!
