How is she speaking?
The same way she’s breathing, duh
Exactly! Ursula took her voice as payment! How could she talk?!

Thanks for reminding me of this

Maybe more…
Advanced sphincter control techniques.
Through her lower lips
Not shown: she perseveres and ends up becoming a celebrated breakdancer

Let’s say: A known breakdancer.
Those poor, unfortunate soles.
Oh man, the rare triple entendre
I hadn’t even thought of the sole fish, but here we are, and I have you to thank for pointing it out!
Ursula has a very low opinion of men; 100% she expects this to still work.
I mean…
Technically she she should have been more specific. I just don’t get why she lost her head too, instead of just the arms?
I guess it must have been an evil Genie. 😋It’s a common trope to depict making a wish but causing unintended and dark consequences. It’s allegory to be careful what you wish for. I suppose you could call this “anti-wish”.
I signed onto a sailing ship
My very first day at sea
I seen the Mermaid in the waves
Reaching out to me
“Come live with me in the sea,” said she
"Down on the ocean floor
And I’ll show you a million wondrous things
You’ve never seen before"
So over I jumped and she pulled me down
Down to her seaweed bed
On a pillow made of a tortoise-shell
She placed beneath my head
She fed me shrimp and caviar
Upon a silver dish
From her head to her waist it was just my taste
But the rest of her was a fish
'Cause her hair was green as seaweed
Her skin was blue and pale
Her face it was a work of art
I loved that girl with all my heart
I only liked the upper part
I did not like the tail
But then one day, she swam away
So I sang to the clams and the whales
"Oh, how I miss her seaweed hair
And the silver shine of her scales"
But then her sister, she swam by
And set my heart a-whirl
Cause her upper part was an ugly fish
But her bottom part was a girl
Yes her hair was green as seaweed
Her skin was blue and pale
Her legs they are a work of art
I loved that girl with all my heart
And I don’t give a damn about the upper part
'cause that’s how I get my tail
I was absolutely certain I was going to have a one-of-a-kind comment that was perfect for the post, but it turns out you already posted it!
What can I say? It’s a catchy tune!
