The baritone vocalist Samuel E. Wright — who won the role of Sebastian solely through a taped demo of the song he had sent to producers — sang this jubilant finger-snapper inspired by the Caribbean style of Calypso music. The song, composed by Disney Legends Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, is also a rousing highlight of the Broadway musical version, though because Tituss Burgess, who plays Sebastian, is a tenor, the key of the song was raised from B-flat to D.
