11/11/2023 0 Comments Ratatouille musical soundtrackThe World Will Remember My Name - Though I generally don’t like the style of comparatively slower, more emotional songs in shows, “The World Will Remember My Name” rocks the genre very well. The vocals need an instrumental behind them, and when it does get to the instrumental section (after just a few lines, I might add), it simply doesn’t have the time to ramp up. I Knew I Smelled a Rat (Prologue) - Though clever in concept, this piece fails on execution. Its lyrics might not be on par with “Ratatouille” later in the show, and are worse than the best parts of “Anyone Can Cook,” but they still work to paint the rats’ point of view perfectly. That’s What the Life of a Rat’s All About - Though it could have easily become a true “villain” song, “That’s What the Life of a Rat’s All About” thankfully stays away from that trope, making Remy’s father the perfect level of sympathetic. This is easily one of the best in the musical, both in lyrics and composition. Though it speaks a bit too much about the chefs given that those characters aren’t properly introduced until later, the song sets the tone of the rest of the show so well that I can’t complain. Anyone Can Cook - “Anyone Can Cook” is very reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast’s “Belle”-which is to say that it works perfectly.
