‘Poor Unfortunate Souls’ is a song plucked from one of Disney’s toughest scenes to watch. It is the scene where Princess Ariel practically sells her soul to the devil. Actress Rumer Willis and dancer Val Chmerkovskiy will dance to the song from the animated film ‘The Little Mermaid.’ Week five of ‘Dancing with the Stars (DWTS),’ also known as “Disney Week” airs on Monday, April 13 at 8|7c on ABC.
Willis is the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. Val Chmerkovskiy is a professional dancer from Ukraine. Willis and Chmerkovskiy are dance partners who compete with other celebrities in ‘DWTS,’ a televised American dance competition.
“Here are my flaws and it’s OK. I’m still me and I’m still beautiful and it doesn’t matter,” said Willis on week four’s episode of ‘DWTS.’
In ‘The Little Mermaid,’ Princess Ariel is lured into temptation by Ursula, the sea witch to trade her beautiful voice for a pair of human legs. Ariel does this to gain the love of Prince Eric, a human being.
The choreographed routine will be judged by a panel of four judges, Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Julianne Hough. Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews co-host the show. BBC Worldwide Productions is the producer of ‘DWTS.’
Lyrics to 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' Obtained from Metro Lyrics
"(Spoken)
[Ursula:] Have we got a deal?
[Ariel:] If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again.
[Ursula:] But you'll have your man. Life's full of tough choices, innit?
Oh - and there is one more thing. We haven't discussed the subject of payment.
[Ariel:] But I don't have any -
[Ursula:] I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a trifle. What I want from you is . . . your voice.
[Ariel:] But without my voice, how can I -
[Ursula:] You'll have your looks! Your pretty face! And don't underestimate the importance of body language! Ha!"
