Winnie the Pooh

Today we’ll hear everyone’s favorite song about a Willy Nilly Silly Old Bear. This one is another classic Disney song penned by the Sherman Brothers. Originally written for the 1966 cartoon Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, but it may be more commonly known as the theme to film The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh released in 1977.

Vuelie

For the first day of winter, how about we listen to covers of the first song from the first Frozen movie? Not ‘Let it Go’, though I’m sure we’ll get to that eventually. Not ‘Frozen Heart’, that’s the first song on the soundtrack album. ‘Vuelie’ by Christophe Beck, Frode Fjellheim and the Norwegian choir Cantus.
