Last week at Boy Scout camp I missed the staff’s production of Frozen while I was back home for a couple of days. August apparently loved it, as it was a very lose adaptation that freely borrowed from other movies and storytelling elements. Kind of a half-parody/half-homage to the film. I heard all about it when I got back to camp on Friday.
As I drove nine (very stinky) Boy Scouts home from camp on Saturday a couple of them started to sing “Let It Go” – rather poorly. The older Boy Scout sitting beside me in the passenger seat slumped down in resignation after trying to get them to stop. I suggested a method of getting them to stop and he agreed to let me try.
I purchased the Frozen soundtrack through Amazon. This meant an MP3 of the soundtrack is available “in the cloud” for whenever I want to listen to it. At a red light I made a couple of swipes and the opening strains of “Frozen Heart” came out of the speakers. It took a little while but the boys stopped singing “Let It Go” by the second verse.
During “Do You Want To Build A Snowman” somebody from the back asked if I had the Frozen soundtrack. I replied that indeed I do and enjoyed the movie quite a bit. The only complain was for “Do You Want To Build A Snowman” where one boy said he hated that song but a couple of others asked him why and he couldn’t give a definitive answer and there was a collective shrug among the group.
By the time we pulled into the parking lot we had listened to most of the vocal numbers, including my favorite.
