Good morning #JukeboxFridayNight and Happy Saturday!

Your #ScreenOrStage playlist is finalised and complete:

youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZe

Our longest playlist since I started doing this at 355 tracks. We start with Flash Gordon's theme song, and finish with the end credits from The Empire Strikes Back!

It's a lovely mix of stage shows, film music and TV themes across the ages. @Kay really picked a banger of a theme, and I reckon we could have carried this one on for a long time!

Late addition to #ScreenOrStage for #JukeboxFridayNight with a cheerful song "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" which won the 1947 Academy Award for Best Song for Walt Disney's "Song of the South", based on the Uncle Remus stories.

James Baskett - "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah"

Some say the 1946 film perpetuates racist stereotypes. That wasn't Disney's intention. The film is set after after slavery was abolished. Criticism by people who hadn't seen the film misses the voices of free people.

Idina Menzel - Let It Go (from film Frozen)

Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

Billie Eilish - TV

I don't wanna talk right now
I just wanna watch TV
I'll stay in the pool and drown
So I don't have to watch you leave
I put on Survivor just to watch somebody suffer

All of my friends are missing again
That's what happens when you fall in love
You don't have the time, you leave them all behind
You tell yourself it's fine, you're just in love

Don't know where you are right now
Did you see me on TV?

Rogue Valley - The Wolves and the Ravens (from the film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, one of its soft wistful songs)

In the morning by the sea
As the fog clears from the sand
I have no money in my hand
I have no home, I have no land
But it doesn't trouble me
As I lay beside the fire
I am easy to inspire
There is little I require
