Sure it is, it's got, what, five or six songs sung by the characters? "Arabian Nights," "One Jump Ahead," "Friend Like Me," "A Whole New World," "Prince Ali" and its reprise. Why wouldn't that count?

A classroom has attendance. A concert has an audience. If a singer said he had a great attendance, it'd be uncommon.

Air guitar was the first thing I thought of for the non-electric version.

Yeah, probably shouldn't count.

I really hate to be one of 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 people but you could also have 'Agitato' as the musical term. It means to play quickly, with a form of excitement.

This was a great quiz...Keep up the wonderful work! :)

The "It's a Whole New World" musical film clue really threw me off, because the song is called "A Whole New World", not "It's a Whole New World". I also just wasn't thinking in that mode because I feel like I don't associate Disney with the rest of the kind of music the other answers had. Anyway, I think the clue would work better if it said 'Musical film featuring "A Whole New World"'.

I love Mozart, and I saw Amadeus in a movie night with a nationwide choral group the night before we performed Mozart's Requiem in Carnegie Hall. And I thought the part where he was writing the Confutatis movement of the Requiem was the only good part of the movie. But everyone's entitled to their (wrong) opinion :)

Man ... I didn't see "operatic" as something having to do with opera. I was thinking like automated operator. So something pre-recorded or something along those lines. Or an automaton even...

that was after the initial thought of operations, surgery, but I knew that wasn't gonna be the right use of the word immediately.

ACC gives you the answer for the Highway to Hell clue. Could be a misspelling of the answer to non-electric guitar, or the answer to the squeezebox.

I have to add another comment about the Aladdin clue. Since the song isn't "Its a Whole New World", having the "It's" in the quotes is incredibly misleading

Yeah, with the word "It's" and the quiz title I thought it was The Little Mermaid.

It's especially puzzling because at no point do the lyrics even say "It's a whole new world."
