Cruella De Vil - Steve Tyrell


To coincide with the DVD release of 101 Dalmatians that hits the stores today, I have posted a cover of Cruella De Vil to fit in with this week's theme, Villains Week.

Cruella is one of the most glamorous villains in the Disney Villains legacy. She is rich and a diva, but she is also completely insane! Her obsession with the dalmatians sets her apart from other villains who seem to keep their mind when pursuing their goal. Cruella is just plain crazy and her over the top expressions and outbursts a really fun cartoon character.

The scariest thing about Cruella is that she is a person. She is not a witch or a monster or something out of your imagination. She could actually exist in reality. I think the car chase scene is more frightening than Ursula growing gigantic or Maleficent turning into a dragon because it is an action that can be replicated in real life. She is truly a scary person.

Many artists have covered Cruella's theme song, including STEVE TYRELL who released a whole album of Disney songs in 2006. Steve is a jazz artist who got his start singing a song for the Father of the bride soundtrack. He has since gone on to become a popular modern jazz musician.

I think this is one of the best Disney songs ever. So simple, but cool and unforgettable.
