I remember the portion of that in Hocus Pocus!

Not that great a movie, but not many Disney films of that caliber pulled off such a memorable little number. I do like that extended cover of it though, and kinda wish there was a similar extended one out there sung Sarah Jessica Parker and utilizing the orchestral stuff they wove through the version in the movie. And it seems that the origins of the lyrics in general are sort of a puzzle in and of themselves: http://www.dmelhoff.com/who-wrote-c.....ittle-children

Fascinating, thank you for the link it was an interesting read. I'm sorry to say my curiosity grew a little cold in regards to the assumption it was written for Disney. However I am certainly amused by the credit to Mr. Poe. Sort of an icing to the cake on a song I rather well love since seeing the film. Thank you again for the link.
