Namaste to one and all, and a Happy Pride Month!! This pride, I thought it'll be a perfect moment to visit through some of the most campy and iconic female songs from animation films and series across the globe!
Camp is a style that's very diverse and it has a different meaning for every person out there. That being said, a common theme across all things camp, is a certain level of drama, a flair, an 'extra-ness' that makes the self-expression pop out effortlessly. It's a theatrical showcase of creativity, (and in my video's case particularly, feminine creativity), in an unabashed manner, in all its perfection, or imperfection alike.
Animation has displayed such campy songs and performances since ages for all types of female characters - right from the iconic Betty Boop to the imposing and dramatic Ursula of The Little Mermaid and so on, from all across the globe. They have inspired countless men, women, gays, trans and people of all other identities to find their self-expression and love who they are.
The songs featured in this very campy compilation include: -
• A Language All My Own – Betty Boop (1935) • Sambaiana – Slick Hare (1947) • «Песня Забавы» (Pesnya Zabavy) – Летучий корабль (The Flying Ship) (1979) • Miu Mi újság – Macskafogó (Cat City) (1986) • Why Don't You Do Right? – Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988) • Perfect Isn't Easy – Oliver & Company (1988) • Poor Unfortunate Souls – The Little Mermaid (1989) • Big And Loud – Cats Don't Dance (1997) • Fairy Godmother's Song – Shrek 2 (2004) • Papa Paname – Un Monstre à Paris (A Monster in Paris) (2011) • Putana – Krishna Aur Kans (2012) • This Day Aria – My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (2012) • La Llorona – Coco (2018) • Ultraluminary – Over the Moon (2020) • 来吧来吧 加入我们 – 熊出没·重返地球 (Boonie Bears: Back to Earth) (2022) • Salam Rindu – Upin & Ipin (2025) • How It's Done – KPop Demon Hunters (2025)
Of course, camp is wonderfully subjective, and countless other iconic animated songs could have earned a place here. This compilation is simply a celebration of some unforgettable performances that embody camp in their own unique ways.
