High School Musical 2 Songs Info and Piccies

Here's some info on the High School Musical 2 songs-
1. "WHAT TIME IS IT"
This jubilant anthem comes at the top of the movie as the last minutes of the school year clock finally tick down to summertime. Not even Mrs. Darbus can tame the excited Wildcats as they break into song, jump out of their seats and pour out of the classroom, "roller coasting" down the hallway and through the school in an exhilarating song and dance that exclaims the pressure's off and the party's about to start. And to remind viewers of where the popular storytelling of the first movie left off, the horns and drum beat evoke a bit of "We're All in this Together."

2. "FABULOUS"
Ensconced poolside at their family's country club, Sharpay - with back-up from her loyal brother Ryan and a trio of snobby friends known as the Sharpettes -- expresses her needs for something "more" in this comedic Broadway style tune. The song showcases Sharpay's "me, me, me" personality with a flamboyant and funny tune that captures Sharpay's materialistic and self-absorbed ways with lyrics that include, "Iced tea imported from England, Lifeguards imported from Spain, Towels imported from Turkey, and turkey imported from Maine."

3. "WORK THIS OUT"
In this funky, percussion-driven dance number, the Wildcat gang hassles Troy for getting them jobs where they have to wait on Sharpay and take orders from bossy Mr. Fulton. It's up to Troy to convince them that if they work hard, they can still save the summer.

4. "YOU ARE THE MUSIC IN ME"
A mid-tempo love ballad with an R&B and rock influence which expressive lyrics tell the story of how music brought Troy and Gabriella together. The song also confirms their true feelings for each other. In the storyline, the song is written by Kelsi for Troy and Gabriella and includes their Wildcat friends in the first and last verse. In the DVD release of "High School Musical 2" (due in December), Sharpay takes this song and makes it all her own, somehow manipulating Troy into singing with her.

5. "HUMUHUMUNUKUNUKUA'PUA'A"
In this campy, Polynesian fantasy tune, Sharpay's ambitions are laid bare. In song and spoken word, she shows Troy the big colorful number that's sure to win his everlasting affections and the Star Dazzle Award at the Midsummer Night's Talent Show. With layered harmonies from Ryan and a hip hop ode to Mighty Mount Fufu, Sharpay is the Pineapple Princess looking for her Fresh Fish Prince in this comedic tour de force.

6. "I DON'T DANCE"
A song that blends elements of swing, jitterbug, hip hop and rap as Ryan, Chad and the Wildcats engage in a battle of wits on the baseball diamond, displaying both athletic and dancers' grace to make their point.

7. "GOTTA GO MY OWN WAY"
A pop ballad that marks Gabriella's turning point, one where she accepts that the summer plans she and Troy made won't be working out. It is sung solo by Gabriella until Troy joins her for the bridge of this break-up song.

8. "BET ON IT"
In this pulsating urban-pop song, Troy delivers a powerful rock and roll vent when he finally realizes what he's lost and that it's up to him to make things right again.

9. "EVERYDAY"
An uplifting pop power ballad. Troy and Gabriella share the romantic verses where they vow to seize the day. The rest of their friends join for the final chorus, pledging to celebrate everyday together.

10. "ALL FOR ONE"
A sunny hip hop anthem, one blended with a twangy, surf guitar salute to beach blanket bingo.

Brandy and Mr.Whiskers and Dave The Barbarian are taken away for this crap? BOOOOOOOO!

Why post here if you don't like it Taco Wiz? I find both Dave the Barbarian and Brandy and Mr. Whiskers more entertaining as well, but HSM is alright, given it's aimed at the tween market, and if you don't like it, don't post about it.
This is a link to see the new dolls for the sequel. It's great that they're in their costumes from the What Time Is It? number, good continuity there.

The Lord giveth crap, the Lord taketh away crap. I think I'm going to go off and cry now, as I dread the approach of August 17.

On the plus side, nice to see that Sharpay can rhyme "Spain" with "Maine" and that there's at least three Evans-centric songs! :P :roll: ;)

JAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you soooo much for posting the pictures of the dolls- I wish it was a bigger picture, though! I saw dolls of Gabriella, Troy, & Sharpay on Amazon.com, but it's nice to know that the others (*cough* Chad *cough*) will be getting their own dolls!!! If I had more money, I'd get them all! I want them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited for HSM2- I love "What Time is It"!!!

No problem Blackcauldron85, I got excited too when I saw them, I just had to post them here. I saw the other dolls on Amazon too, it sucks that only three got dolls, I would've liked to see Chad, Ryan, and Taylor as dolls. Here's a link to see the dolls full body, not just from the chest up-

I can't wait for HSM2 either, but us Aussies can't see it until later in the year, not until September probably, so we'll have to wait. :( Oh well, the HSM concert DVD should tide me over til then.

Thanks again, James! The Sharpay doll kind of looks like Haylie Duff. And, is she looking to the side, while all the others are looking straight ahead?

And...

WHERE IS RYAN'S HAT?!?!?!?!? :x I was looking at the doll, wondering why he looks weird- he BETTER come with a hat!!!

I wonder if you'll be able to buy them not only individually but as a gift set, all together. If so, I know what'll be on my Christmas list!!!

Anytime, BC85. :) Ha, yeah, Sharpay does look like Haylie Duff, I did notice that. And yeah, I definitely was pissed about Ryan's hat too! I noticed it straight off, since I remembered he has a fetish for hats, and that he was wearing a pink one in the What Time Is It? sequence. I'm sure it'll come with the doll, I think that they're just posing him without it so that he doesn't look too gay or something. I'm sure they'll all come with something, like a microphone, or a basketball, or hat, or sunglasses or something.

I'm excited! I know that HSM was stupid, but it's my guilty pleasure.

:shock: It's so not stupid! It gets better every time! (I know- I just watched it *again*, and it really gets better with every viewing!) It's wonderful! How dare you say such a thing!?!?!? :P

What I mean is that it's a little cheesy, and I can see why other people can't stand it. But nonetheless I love it!

High School Musical is such a fun cute movie! I'm mean its cheesy of course but it is a musical and the only musical I know that isn't cheesy (or sing-song happy) is Les Mis and Rent. Besides its a Disney movie too so it all has be happy go-lucky. I'm worried about the songs for the sequal though, the story line seems to be good but besides that. . . I don't think it will go anywhere. I'm already disappointed with What Time Is It.

What Time Is It? isn't very catchy, but it still seems like a fun song.

Fun? Yes but it doesn't match the standards of the songs from the past movie, and I really don't think any of them will. I hope I'm proven wrong.

I'm disappointed with the number of songs where Troy and Gabriella sing, it's a tad much IMO. I've never cared for their characters and how the movie seems to revolve around them this time, and everyone else seems to be shoved out the spotlight. All in all, I'll more than likely be cheering Sharpay on as she breaks them up :lol: Hopefully Ryan will get more lines, he had as many as Aurora in Sleeping Beauty :lol:

Well, in HSM2, Chad & Taylor will have solo parts in songs, as opposed to HSM, where they only sang in group songs.
