- Don't you think Mr. Menken did this on purpose? As to Aladdin sounding like
- other songs by Menken, I think that is very common. It is not at all
- unusual for a composer's songs to sound similar to each other. After all, in
- classical music, it doesn't take that much practice to be able to identify
- the composer by just listening to a little bit of a song.
