"Under the Sea" is a song from Disney's 1989 animated film The Little Mermaid, composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman.

[5] The song is a plea by the crab Sebastian convincing Ariel to remain sea-bound, and resist her desire to become a human in order to spend her life with Prince Eric, with whom she has fallen in love.

The record listed the artist as "Sebastian C." US 12-inch single (ST-ED-66621A-SP) ‡ Sales+streaming figures based on certification alone.

[8] In 2007, the Broadway musical version used this as the featured production number, with the role of Sebastian played by Tituss Burgess.

For Burgess, a tenor (unlike the baritone Wright), the key of the song was raised from B-flat to D. On the Original Broadway Cast Recording, the placing of the song was also moved to after the scene in which King Triton destroys Ariel's collection of "human stuff".
