Video: Ken Page Sings 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' From THE LITTLE MERMAID

Ken Page, well-known as the voice of Oogie Boogie in The Nightmare Before Christmas, took the stage at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event this weekend to sing another deliciously evil Disney villain song.

At one of the panels, Page sang Poor Unfortunate Souls, sung by Ursula in The Little Mermaid. The song was written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, and originally performed by Pat Carroll in the 1989 animated film.
