Shiny was the best song


Who agrees with me?

I can't pick my favourite song, honestly. They are all perfect.

True.

I'm not sure it's my personal favorite musically speaking, but I do love it and love how unique it is! I mean, it's a giant crab decked out in shiny things getting his Bowie on- what's not to love about that scenario? XDD

Also, after seeing the actual scene I found it really effective because the song itself is so fun, but meanwhile Tamatoa is completely kicking Maui's butt, and it's one of those cases where the fact that it's NOT a particularly menacing-sounding song makes it unsettling to see the scene going along with it.

Shiny was the only thing about this movie I *didn't* like. Definitely a scene for the kids in my opinion.

reply

Yeah - glam rock and psychedelic imagery, total kiddie terrain.

I would actually say it was completely aimed at adults, as it was a kind of tip of the cap to David Bowie.

Definitely a scene aimed for adults in my opinion, it was the only scene i laughed out loud at.

I agree. I was cringing watching that. It was the worst song in a Disney movie that I could think of, not because it's bad but because it doesn't seem to fit very well with the movie.

reply

Exactly!

All of the music was fantastic from start to finish. Not a single song I hated or even disliked, but Shiny is definitely very unique and memorable.

Not me. It's one of the songs I liked the least. First I heard it in my language (french) and was appalled... then I went to YT to listen to it in english... and it's not that better. Anyway, I didn't like the whole bit with the giant evil crab.

I totally agree: it was the best. The crab was so totally camp.

reply

Indeed. I'm listening to it right now, it's so addictive and catchy. I place it on the top, with "We Know The Way" at second, and "You're Welcome" at third.

Yep shiny was my fave
