Mother Knows Best - Tangled - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Tangled composer Alan Menken used a Broadway template for this strings-laden theatrical moment from the blockbuster 2010 film. A showstopping villain song, “Mother Knows Best” illuminates Mother Gothel’s torturous treatment of protagonist Rapunzel as she convinces her to remain trapped in the tower away from the "large bugs", "men with pointy teeth, and the "scary world out there". Primarily sung by Donna Murphy, "Mother Knows Best" has been named among the soundtrack's best bits and voted as one of Disney's best villain songs to date. Tangled is Disney's own animated retelling of the German Rapunzel fairytale and was directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard and produced by Roy Conli, from a screenplay penned by Dan Fogelman. The movie features the voices of Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, and Donna Murphy and was nominated for several awards, including Best Original Song at the 83rd Academy Awards.
