TERM TWO SONG: Remember Me
From Coco
by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez

This beautiful ballad comes from the 2017 animated Disney/Pixar film Coco and won Best Original Song at the 90th Academy Awards in 2018. The song appears several times during the film, firstly as a mariachi arrangement, next as a lullaby, thirdly as a song of remembrance and lastly as an upbeat pop song. 
It is described as the song that is the "tie that binds multiple generations in the shared love of music".

TERM ONE SONG: TRULY SCRUMPTIOUS
From Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
by Robert B. Sherman & Richard M. Sherman

This fun song was written for the 1968 musical fantasy film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and also appears it's stage musical adaptation. 
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is set in 1910s rural England and features the escapades of two young siblings, Jemima and Jeremy who are enthralled by the wreck of a champion racecar. Along the way they meet and instantly adore the beautiful Truly Scrumptious - singing our song to her.
