The final line of The Little Mermaid:
“Now we can walk, now we can run, now we can stay all day in the sun…”
Sounds sweet.
But it’s not liberation — it’s assimilation.
The sea doesn’t win.
It gets left behind.

They couldn’t let Ariel save the day.
Couldn’t let Triton grow.
So the white prince grabs a human ship and kills the queer sea witch with it.
A nice man.
A colonial machine.
A dead outsider.
That’s your “happy ending.”

Funny moment in The Little Mermaid:
Ursula tells Ariel to use “body language”…
Then gets mad when Ariel almost succeeds with just that.
“She’s better than I thought!”
Oh you mean — she followed the rules you gave her?
Classic rigged system behavior.

Fourth bop: “Kiss the Girl”
It slaps. It floats.
It’s also about kissing a girl who can’t speak.
The whole animal kingdom is pushing for it.
And the lyrics?
“She don’t say a word and she won’t say a word…”
😬
