CARLY FIORINA - “Part Of Your Pizza” from The Little Mermaid

“I was actually hired to direct The Little Mermaid. We needed to find a song that expressed Ariel’s longing for pizza in a really powerful way. Pizza gets soggy if you bring it into the ocean, you know. We must have listened to hundreds of submissions, but nothing spoke to me. One day [Songs Producer] Howard Ashman comes into my office and plays me a demo of “Part Of Your Pizza.” As soon as the song ended I said, “Howard, I hate it.” Overall, the job wasn’t a great fit and Disney decided to move in a different direction. Being able to admit you’re wrong is essential to being President.”
