Peter Pan What Makes The Red Man Red Lyrics

[Quinton Hebenstreit]

Ithas been compared to the song "Savages" from the 1995 Disney film Pocahontas, which contains negative lyrics regarding Native Americans; in contrast with "What Made the Red Man Red?", however, the offensive lyrics in "Savages" were written purposely, as they are sung by the villains of the movie, in order to illustrate the message that racism is wrong.[5][better source needed]

When I recorded [the song], I sang it with 10 bass singers from around Los Angeles. And if you hear the song, you'll notice my bass voice is almost twice as low as theirs ... You know, when you see the Indian chief, he's fat. I'm not fat. And he's real tall, and I'm kind of short. But you notice he looks like me. Also, he has the same dark eyebrows, and he plays with his hands like I do when I perform ... Ward Kimball's animation of the chief is full of the little visual gags that he always threw into his work, oftentimes just to keep himself amused. I especially love seeing how wildly exaggerated the chief's mouth shapes become, yet always manage to work well within the frame of his face.

Peter Pan and Wendy come across the Indians (who refer to themselves as "Injuns") during their travels in Neverland after rescuing the Chief's daughter, Tiger Lily. Wishing to learn more about them, the Lost Boys ask the Indians three questions: "What made the red man red?", "When did he first say 'Ugh'?" and "Why does he ask you 'How?'" (a corruption of the Lakota word hu, which translates to "Hello" and is used only by men). This song is performed by "the big-nosed, guttural Chief character"[6] accompanied by his tribesmen, who answer the questions. The Indians pass the peace pipe to the children (which John smokes, but becomes nauseated after) as they tell their tale.

In 2014, Complex noted that in the 21st century, "you can't just ask people 'What Makes the Red Man Red?'", and comments on the Lost Boys' musical number: "Jeez, you racists [sic] little monsters, no wonder you're orphans."[9] The same year, Althouse said the song has "obvious political correctness problems."[10] AllDay notes that "the one time they break into song" is the only time the Native Americans do not speak in broken English throughout the film.[11] In the article "Caught on Film: The Racist Ghosts of Disney's Past", DivineCaroline writes "The best part of the song is when the singers say that their version is the right one, 'no matter what's been written or said.'"[12] Bustle deems the song a "big ol' pile of racism."[13] The following year, MediaDiversed says the "horror that was the song" serves to reinforce stereotypes and racist attitudes.[14]

In 2014, The Guardian wrote that the song presents a risk of redface when performed live and is "exactly as alarming to modern eyes and ears as its title suggests".[15] Minnesota Playlist argues that this "infamous" number "upped the racist ante".[16] RantLifestyle notes that "the chief ... is a walking stereotype", and sums up their view of the song by saying "Oh dear".[17] David Martinez, author of American Indians and Film, writes, "My jaw hit the ground when I heard this song and saw these 'redskins' hopping around and making fools of themselves. Granted it was only a cartoon, but it was one in which the animators took the liberty of demeaning an entire race in the name of entertainment."[18][19] The rapper Narcycist references the song in an article about the use of subtle racism in film.[20] The Hollywood Reporter calls the song "infamous".[21] Sasha Houston Brown, Santee Sioux tribe member and adviser to the American Indian Success Program at Minneapolis Community and Technical College, says about the scene: "I remember seeing it and not having the skills to understand why it made me feel embarrassed. What does that do to a child's formation of identity, even if it's subliminal and subconscious? The message is, 'You're not human. You're a trend. You're something that can be commodified and bought and sold.'"[22] An opinion article at The Daily Revelle notes the problem of depicting Native Americans in this way: "Disney has always been there to teach proper morals ... from an early start, Americans are fed these ideas, and the topic is never properly taught to correct them ... If you're teaching American history, put the time and effort into respectfully educating others on the extraordinary people that were here first."[23]

In an essay for Tor.com, American author and critic Mari Ness argues that the "cartoon war dance" and song go even further than Barrie's play by "stat[ing] that the Indians are not just savages, but sexist savages, who force Wendy to go fetch firewood while the other boys have fun."[24] Wired says the "really awkward scene" features a "thoroughly appalling song, arguably more racist than anything in the notorious Song of the South".[25] The blog Racial Stereotyping notes, "Not only does this video stereotype Native Americans but it also stereotypes women".[26] Banon's Roar writes, "Watching now its [sic] cringe inducing. Every line is some kind of gag about how their skin is red and they make weird noises. Compare it even to the Crows from Dumbo. They were timely caricatures as well, but their jokes were not aimed at humiliating themselves."[27][28] LeapToad says, "If any other ethnic group were treated this way, this film would have quietly disappeared, much like Song of the South has."[29] Though Hollywood.com names the 1953 film version as the third best Peter Pan adaption, it recommends that viewers "forget that whole 'What Made the Red Man Red?' part, for obvious reasons".[30] Greg Ehrbar of Mouse Tracks says the song "veers precariously into politically incorrect territory".[31]

Because of the perceived racial insensitivity of the characters and this song in particular by the time the film Return to Never Land was released in theatres in 2002, the Indians were not featured as characters in that movie.[11] However, they appear physically in the tie-in videogame Peter Pan: Adventures in Never Land and in the Disney's Magic English series.

In Disney's Peter Pan, Jr. stage musical adaptation, the song is replaced by "What Makes the Brave Man Brave?", which focuses less on Native American stereotypes and more on what traits define a hero.[35]

During production of the 2015 Warner Bros. live-action film Pan, the film's developers made a deliberate choice to distance the character of Tiger Lily and her people from Native American heritage and reimagine them as lacking any particular ethnicity, in order to "avoid the racial insensitivities of... Disney's 1953 animated film, which infamously featured the song 'What Made the Red Man Red?'"[36]

this song represents how modern day has become between us, maybe making us into the people of today who destory our own world, and war with each other. it makes me think why are we doing this?and is it realy worth or acheiving anything. its warning us not to lead our life where we only leave negitivity behind, and telling us to make our life worth while and not to waste what we have, and not to spoil what we have for future generations. well thats just my view... but what a great artist.

The only version I need is the one we sang at church a while ago. Newer versions with similar lyrics won't do. Jeremy Camp has the same title. "I wait for the Lord" but it's a different song.

I wait for the Lord. My soul waits for the Lord, and in his Word I do hope. I wait for the Lord.

More than watchmen wait for the morning, I wait for the Lord

Out of the depths I have cried to You O Lord, Lord hear my voice.

Let your ear be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

If You Lord should mark iniquities, O Lord who could stand?

But there is forgiveness with You that you might be feared.

I'm looking for a song that I can't remember the name of but I know like some of the lyrics and it goes cuz I don't want them to see me cry and it was like in a gotcha music video where like this girl is preparing for war and everything and it's driving me crazy because I can't remember the song I believe it was a 2018 song but I could be wrong

Could also be darlin take it easy... I can't for the life of me find this song but I hear it sometimes at work at Amazon

I'm looking for this song I don't quite remember the song well but I think the chorus goes like this

( We pray for true change Nigeria because he loves me says they Lord.

He will protect Nigeria for he acknowledged is name

He will surely consider us when the bygone be bygone

He will make a new thing)

This is a funeral jubilee acapella song and the chorus says;

I'm going home

no more to roam. I'll be with loved ones on heavens shore.

There I'll meet my dear Savior,who has shown me his favor.

Singing Praising evermore
