The Bottle Boys and Beatboxer Thor Mikkelsen Recreate Disney Songs in an Original Way

Kids just love Disney songs, don’t they? But some adults love them too. Think of “Everybody Wants to be a Cat” (The Aristocats), “Hakuna Matata” (The Lion King), “You Can Fly” (Peter Pan), and so on...I can go on listing them forever. There are various interpretations of the songs out there, both contemporary and old, with some being good and others not so good. Pop, rock, metal, rap: experimental versions of Disney songs exist in each of these genres. But just today I came across rather extraordinary variant of some of the most well-known Disney songs.

The Bottle Boys, a band from Denmark, teamed up with the famous beatboxer Thor (what a cool name) Mikkelsen in order to perform three Disney songs in their own unique way. And in case you are wondering what makes their performances so unique, well…the guys prefer bottles instead of musical instruments (or voices) to recreate a song. (We've actually written about them before, but I'm just now hearing about them.)

"For each of the songs we’re playing we’ve chosen a different musical style – turning the songs upside down. So starting out quite calm and true to the original, we give the chorus of “Colors of the Wind” from Pocahontas a drum and bass vibe which suits it quite well, we find. :) We then pay homage to “The Silly Song” from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in an old school hip hop version – the movie being the first Disney feature film from back in 1937 we found this an obvious choice. “Let It Go” from Frozen has been requested a lot by you guys and here it finally comes. We’ve given the song a house/dubstep treatment which was great fun to play! And Thor just kills it! Hope you like it as much as we do!"

So go ahead, check out what they have to show you and see if you can recognize the songs from Pocahontas, Snow White, and Frozen.

In case you don't remember them, here are the originals!
