Context

This line is from the song "Kiss the Girl" by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken from the movie The Little Mermaid (1989).

In this song, Sebastian serenades Ariel and Eric as they take a romantic moonlight boat ride. But this crooning crustacean doesn't just think it would be swoon-worthy for these two lovebirds to smooch, he knows it would also break the sea witch's spell, thus allowing Ariel to stay human forever. Sebastian isn't just setting the mood here. He's practically pleading with Eric—"you gotta kiss the girl!"

Seriously, or she's gonna wind up as sushi.

Where you've heard it

If you think you hear a crab off in the distance telling you to kiss the mysterious stranger you're currently hanging out with, you might wanna do it. Just to be on the safe side.

Ashley Tisdale also recorded her own version of this song. No offense, Ashley, but we still love Sebastian.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

What could be more down-to-earth than this sweet calypso-inspired quote? Plus kissing a girl who totally wants to be kissed is never pretentious.
