[Heard in the parks] Disney Halloween Greatest and Popular Songs Collection (1–10)
Call me CruellaFlorence & The Machine
A song created to color the end credits of Disney’s live-action film Cruella, released in May 2021.
Befitting a movie that centers on the legendary villain Cruella de Vil, it stylishly captures the aesthetics of evil and a charismatic edge of madness.
Its dense sound—an amalgam of rock, new wave, jazz, and funk—is a major draw.
Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine has admired Disney villain songs since childhood, and she describes making this track as “a dream come true.”
He is the pirate.Klaus Badelt
This track, featured on the soundtrack of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, captivates with a powerful orchestral sound that embodies the pirates’ spirit of adventure.
Beyond playing over the film’s end credits, it’s also used in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ NFL game presentations and in shows at Disney parks.
Its heroic sound, evoking a grand adventure, is perfect for anyone enjoying a pirate costume at a Halloween party! Why not energize the venue with dynamic choreography featuring swords?
Let’s go, villains!
This is a song where the classic Disney villains take over Mickey and friends’ Halloween parade! In this track, the villains get to be the stars, so the music has a slightly dark, cool vibe.
With rock-style drums and a fast-paced feel, it’s super cool.
Even though they’re villains, many of them are really popular characters! Some people might even be bigger fans of the villains than of Mickey and the gang.
For those fans, this track is especially irresistible.
It’s not overly dark or scary, yet it still delivers plenty of Halloween atmosphere—just the right balance—so I highly recommend it!

A Whole New WorldAlan Menken
A duet from the 1992 Disney film Aladdin.
As they soar through the sky on a magic carpet, a door opens to a new world full of freedom and hope—an exhilarating love song that truly moves the heart.
Its sweeping melody and dreamy orchestration beautifully express a longing for unseen vistas and the bond between the two.
It’s perfect for scenes that call for a romantic touch at Halloween, or for moments at the end of a party when you want to share your dreams.
Arabian NightsAlan Menken
The song sung at the beginning of Disney’s Aladdin.
Just hearing its exotic, mysterious melody draws you right into the world of the story, doesn’t it? Since the original One Thousand and One Nights is said to have been passed down by traveling merchants, this film also begins with a merchant singing.
This clip is the dubbed version, but I recommend comparing it with the English version as well!
Poor People
The villain Ursula from the Disney film The Little Mermaid, which was adapted into a live-action movie and became a hot topic in 2023, is known for the song Poor Unfortunate Souls.
It was composed by Alan Menken, who has created numerous pieces for Disney.
It’s a number that subtly reveals her malice as she tempts the protagonist Ariel, hoping to turn her into a servant if possible.
How about dressing up as the villain Ursula and heading to a Halloween party? It’s sure to be a hit and really liven things up!
Remains of the Day
This is a song from the 2005 film “Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride,” directed by Tim Burton, who also directed “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” In the film, this song addresses death, and while it’s mysterious, it’s surprisingly catchy.
It’s perfect for setting a Halloween mood.
