I wrote this song in 2019 out of a lifelong love for “The Little Mermaid” -- especially Ursula and her purple-eyed alter-ego Vanessa. With the new live-action movie coming soon, it seemed like the right time to finally finish the project and share it with the world. And how fortunate we all are that the wonderful Garrett Clayton jumped aboard ;) as Prince Eric!

** THE OCEAN WILL BE MINE LYRICS **
Merfolk are fools, so weak and flimsy
They're afraid of me and all my mighty magic
Poor Ariel, all hope and whimsy
She's got no chance and it is positively tragic
I've got her voice, I've got her man
I've got a wedding to attend within the hour
I've carried out my brilliant plan
And soon I'll once again have near-infinite power
No, that mermaid mime won't get her kiss
The ocean will be--
I will pull her into the abyss
And then she will be--
Triton will become her substitute
All because she thought one guy was cute
The palace will be--
The ocean will be mine!
Oh, yes
The ocean will be mine!
[Eric sings beautiful snippets of melodies, reminiscent of Ariel’s]
Humans are fools
So dense and simple
Trying for happiness but dying all too soon
This silly prince
With his manly dimple
Easy to brainwash with one pretty little tune
He's quite a catch (ha!)
He's quite a prize
He's not my type but still I love to make him twitch
He's gonna get
A huge surprise
When he notices he's hitched to a big, bad witch
I'm so glad we'll marry right away
My true love will be--
I’ve declared a national holiday
And soon you will be--
Endless years of blissful joy ahead
Wait... but shouldn’t your hair be red?
And shouldn’t you be--
My true love will be mine!
Oh, yes
My true love will be mine!
It's too perfect (It's too perfect)
I have found you and I know without a doubt (In my web and won't get out)
It's so easy (It's so easy)
I'm a prince so all must do as I command (Even better than I'd planned)
It's all I ever wanted
Every dream coming true
A peerless muse (A fearless ruse)
Me and you
Soon I'll have a crown they can't ignore
The ocean will be--
Left all of my worries back on shore
My true love will be--
Victory has been long overdue
Wait... but weren’t your eyes more, uh… blue?
The ocean will be mine / my true love will be mine!
Oh, yes
My true love will be mine / the ocean will be mine!

Ursula & Vanessa sing Adele! ua-cam.com/video/yTqZZ5fZ8bo/v-deo.html 🐙🎵🌊
Ursula and. We will have to make sure that we have been able to your wishes 😀 😮🎉❤and the
If the broadway version had Vanessa, this song would be perfect for the scene when Scuttle finds out Vanessa is Ursula.
as much as I like Eric making the decision on his own to pursue a real person and not a voice like his did in the Broadway show, I have to admit I'd like to see that as well
when whitney sings alone it is 0:15 but when the prince sings alone well its kind of 0:23 but when they harmonize together😂😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁😁😁amazing
How fantastic is Garrett Clayton as Eric?! Perfection. Drop a 🤩 below in honor of our favorite spellbound prince! (And subscribe to be first to see the Ursula music video arriving soon.)

Him almost breaking the spell was a great addition. ❤
Love the detail at 1:50 of Ursula trying to turn down the mirror so Eric won't see her true form
The point it's that eric,both here&in the original movie,can't see it because ursula hypnotized him not because he won't see it!
I didn't even catch that
I know right and funny thing that's what GOLDDIGGER HO3S DOES TOO SO THEY CAN STEAL A DIVINE FEMININE'S DIVINE MASCULINE AND TAKE AWAY FROM THEM. 😤😤😤😒😒😒
KARMIC Manipulation is what this is
@@cassarian9531if he can't see it why did she do it then
I love the "he's not my type but I love to make him twitch" *shoulders twitch in magical unison*
I LOVED WORKING ON THIS WITH YOU! ♥️🥳
DITTO! You're so fantastic, my friend - thanks for joining in the fun! 💖
That duet was so beautiful and I loved how you did the harmony of Ariel's song, Garrett.
loved it
You guys did awesome, Garrett! Great job to you both and those who worked with you. 👍🏻☺
Was so cool seeing you in this!!!
I was so sad that in the Little Mermaid Live Action movie they didn't include a song for Vanessa just some vocal voice, which is why I have to thank you for doing this, you did Vanessa justice, I was hoping someone could do a whole new Vanessa song all the time, now this is the moment! thank you so much! amazing work!
Well it sucked anyway
@@azizalmaskeri1679 You are talking about the new song about Vanessa from little mermaid live action?
@@Verosika.Siren1 the whole moive
@@azizalmaskeri1679 The movie isn’t even out yet
Maybe it’s just not on the soundtrack
Whitney Avalon has one hell of a set of pipes that truly standout and make every song she sings sound absolutely amazing.
I love the idea that Eric arent always be in the possession of the spell and Vanessa didnt miss a chance into noticing it and quickly controlling him the way she wanted right away from allowing him to keep on asking the suspicious like Ariel's hair and eyes, that's a wonderful characterisation there for Ursula and how manipulative she can be, it's short but enough to express her wickedness.
Yup exactly 💯💯💯💯 and DECEITFUL !!!! Even nowadays GOLDDIGGER HO3S KARMICS DOES THE SAME THING AS VANESSA. ALWAYS TRYING TO GET ALL ERICS (DIVINE MASCULINES) FROM ARIELS (DIVINE FEMININES) THIS IS REALITY BUT THERE ALWAYS A DEFEATING OF A VANESSA!!!!
Disney missed a good chance with this one. I love how Eric notices deep down that something isn’t right, but yet he still thinks she’s the one. This should have been in the movie. If they ever do another version of TLM that is more in line with the original, be it animated or live action, you should send it in.
It is funny how he’s constantly under her spell though. Like at the wedding when Scuttle and the other birds all fly under Vanessa’s dress Eric doesn’t even flinch
Did they not have this part in the new film? 🥺
@@thelegendofthem6120 they do

This is BEAUTIFUL! And Garrett Clayton as Eric!
I would say "drop the mic", but it's a sin to drop a perfectly good microphone.
I absolutely love how at 2:24 when they said "It's all I ever wanted, every dream coming true" and when their voices meld on "The ocean will be mine/My true love will be mine" at 2:55, they're both being sincere and genuine about their feelings and goals, and you can truly see the contrast between both their perspectives of the song. For Eric it's a love song to his true love who he is about to marry, he has left his worries behind and is ready to reach is happy ending. On the other hand, for Ursula it's a song of victory as her net closes around the other characters and her scheme comes to an end.
Very good observation & very well said!
It’s always great seeing you play a villain, you do evil in the best way!
I love the theatrical way of you moving and singing like Pat's Ursula as Vanessa, this song suits her perfectly.
Fantastic song, and you’re obviously relishing this role. 😈 Eric is fantastic and it’s great to see Alyssa again.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Smartly written !! The line is thin between the hero and the villain as they are getting married, it is thin as you demonstrated in this song going from a a solo victory song as it is at the start (with Eric being only a chorus) to a love duet. The progression of the song makes the imminence of the wedding and thus Ursula's success even more dangerous. At the end of the song when the voices melt together it is far too lovely so we end up being pulled inside Ursula's web as well and it took me a moment to realized I was being charmed ! An awesome experience, great job !!
I love this. I really wish Vanessa had more than just 5 minutes in the original movie
This was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! You make the perfect Vanessa. Broadway version should have had you and this song in it!
My favorite part is how Eric sings "my true love will be mine" @ 1:55 when Ursula strengthens the spell
Me too
1:07 I love the way you worked Ariel's leitmotif in with the hypnotized prince : )
I don't know why but this gives me the same energy as "Love is an open door" vibes. 😂
WHY WAS THIS NOT ON BROADWAY!!??? What a great song!
Too bad Disney doesn't have time to slip this into their upcoming live-action remake!
DVD bonus scene. Pay attention Disney.
😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤@@daverhoden445
By far, one of the best songs you've ever done. Your talent is just so amazing.
We could have had THIS in the live action but instead we got the 'Scuttlebut'. I don't know how Disney keep screwing up these remakes 😢. This song is incredible.
Simply great! I already watched and listened to it about 50 times. What makes it so brilliant is the balancing act between the comic style of Ursula and on the other hand her cruel hunger for power. The end shows that all fun comes to an end when Vanessas plot plays out, being the mistress of the strings
I can't even begin to count how many times I've viewed this since it was released. This is one of the most incredible homages not only to Disney, not only to The Little Mermaid, not only to the characters of Eric, Ursula and "Vanessa," but to any single Disney scene in history. It's that good. Of course the songwriting expertly fits into the Disney as Broadway playbook that The Little Mermaid popularized. Of course the lyrics contain both powerful story telling and character development, and of course it's effortlessly catchy. But beyond that what makes this incredibly special is the acting. Oh certainly, one might quibble here or there, I could say that my interpretation of "Vanessa's" character would put more emphasis on the vanity, the primping, the gloating, her enjoyment of the pageantry and the status, but that's just it: That's already in this performance. It could be emphasized more, but every nuance of the character has a moment to shine in this performance. The smallest pieces of physical acting enhance the end result, even details such as Vanessa stumbling ever so slightly when Eric pulls her to him from discreetly lowering the mirror speak to her slightly clumsy movement, which underlines her relative disadvantages in this false form. It's an astounding achievement. This is the type of homage that is so good that it makes one wistful for what Disney themselves could do if they committed to it (one thinks, for instance of Vanessa's wedding, since the live action remake proves definitively that Disney will not try to recreate that kind of chaos in any other medium, and alas, an anarchic action scene of wedding disruption does not lend itself to a Broadway style homage).
This is a work of astonishing vision, love and courage.
Can't stop re-watching it!!!
Your voice is amazing and glad to see Alyssa again.Can't wait for the Ursula video already.
OH MY DISNEY! I love Garrett Clayton. He was so good in Disney’s Teen Beach Movie, Teen Beach 2, and Hairspray Live!.
What?!?! This is amazing!!!! And Prince Eric is hilarious!! And has an amazing voice as well with Vanessa. Broadway quality; 👏👏👏👏Bravo and THANK YOU for sharing with us!
Seeing Garrett all clean and straight made me happy. Loved him in Teen Beach 1 & 2. The singing from both actors are amazing!
UM, OKAY WHITNEY!! 🔥 when are you writing a whole dang musical, because I want nine million tickets
This sounds like the signature villain song of Vanessa (Ursula in disguise).
Great voice on both Eric & Vanessa! The visual effects of the glowing eyes were great & not showing Ariel being victorious at the end really makes you realize how close Ursula was to becoming truly powerful. By marrying Eric, she would have technically been Queen of both Atlantica & Eric's kingdom. Awesome song & acting too!
GARETT CLAYTON WAS MY CHILDHOOD FAVORITE OMGGG😭
Wow! This is a very well-written, sung, and acted song! The line about the prince being hitched to "a big, bad, witch" is genius! Eric is so cute, too, and what a voice! 🤩And I just realized the Ursula shell as the "O" in "Ocean" haha! You all did a superb job! Especially the song writing, so good! But all three actors, and the two singers, fantastic!
Oh my goodness! It's Garrett Clayton! What a beautiful duet. You play evil so well and both of your voices are simply grand. Not to mention, an original song! Also, love the video. Thank you all for this. ❤
I always hoped Vanessa would get a better storyline and her song would be longer she's the best Villain sidekick this song would be absoulutly perfect for the movie. Thank You for making this
this is amazing!!!
and i knew i recognised eric from somewhere! i am glad he still has that perfect smile + eyewbrow move !
Behind the scenes & bloopers from this video! ua-cam.com/video/BdeRH3i2wxg/v-deo.html 💜
The rolled eyes and irritated look when she had to "activate" the necklace! Nice touch!
Your eyebrow raise at the end: *chef's kiss*
You always love being the bad guy. I dig it.
Who wouldn’t love being the bad guy
Whitney your voice and your creative songs never fail to make me laugh and get chills simultaneously.
SO MUCH LOVE FOR GARRETT CLAYTON !!!!
LIKE HE IS DISNEY !!!!
Her face expressions! And her voice! She is Vanessa!! O my god... I wish this song was in the new movie with you playing Vanessa 😢
Outstanding!
This proves once again that villains have always the best songs. Love it.
Is Ursula reflection the woman who played Mrs. Claus and Queen of Hearts??
Yes it is.
@@andrewbrady9896 thanks!! I thought so
Oh my god that was amazing i love it cant wait for part 2 also i missed your music video's so much
Love that you play evil witch behind the beautiful demeanor... Also nice seeing Alyssa again 😍
Wow, this is definitely Broadway worthy!! Such great voices and clever lyrics! The whole production was amazing! You are a genius! Bravo!!! 👏👏😀😀
who needs the live action movie when we have this?
Both your acting is on point! And I love the eyebrow at the end. This is the kind of stuff we love you for, keep it up😍
Garrett Clayton. Can't believe it's been almost ten years since he was in the first Teen Beach Movie.
I already know what I'll be singing and humming all the week long
And this is what Disney Theatricals gave up when they cut Vanessa from the musical. This is perfect.
Ursula, ehrm, Vanessa looks great on you! Shell yeah to Eric as well.
It's always a great day when your vids pop up in the feed.
Wait wait I don’t know if this was intentional or not but I love that at the very last note that they are harmonizing, and then Eric goes a little higher. Like- it almost feels like he’s trying to break free one last time but then Vanessa goes EVEN higher than him overpowering him in the end. A beautiful musical detail.
Omg, an actual extend version of that song:3
You don't know how happy i am, i have always loved "the ocean will be mine" but it was so short, Disney really missed something
This is so so so good! I really wish this song was on the 1989 film ❤️
This is absolutely fantastic!
Someone really enjoyed the role 😉 FANTASTIC
Seing Garrett again made me so happy. Thanks for this collab Whitney! Always love your vids.
BEAUTIFUL duo with Garrett! The two most beautiful voices combined! Love it, Whitney, thank you so much!!!
I loved this video! Eric doubting and Vanessa trying to control him.
You could re-enact the original Vanessa scene. All you need is a vanity boudoir or table big enough to climb and twirl on, and a big mirror. The rest (attire, choreography, voice, hair, cinematographer, small props) you pretty much have covered.
Your production, and everything is fabulous! I’m always so impressed with what you are able to produce. As always, the singing is spectacular.
Also, the guy who plays Eric is also amazing 😍
Garrett Clayton is a treasure
I love your voice collaboration, Whitney, and Garrett. You had a beautiful duet
👏 Howard would be proud. This is a masterpiece.
0:28 I dunno why, but just cutting to Eric standing there in the room, completely zoned out and staring at nothing is hilarious to me.
This is phenomenal! The way Eric kind of knows something's wrong, but can't fight the magic. Amazing.
Wow your voice is fantastic and Garrett as Prince Eric is great.
Scuttle: (seeing Ursula in the reflection) The Sea Witch! Oh no! She's gonna--! I gotta--! (bumps into the window before flying off to warn Ariel) ARIEL!!!!! ARIEL!!!!!
Nice job with the duet!
THIS IS FREAKIN BEAUTIFUL AVALON! I WANT MORE OMG 😍😩❤️💓
My goodness you two sound incredible together and as always, your voice has the most perfect vibrato I have ever heard!! This was fire!! (cuz, it wasn't under the sea, lol)
Ursula will be speared today, but not in the way she imagined. Snicker. Wonderful work on both your parts.
You just slayed-
You guys should have been cast for Vanessa and Eric! You are perfect together!!!!
This is so gorgeous!
Amazing!
How perfect was it🥲🤩🤩🤩
Wow Garrett you voice has certainly matured from your Teen Beach days, fantastic rendition... keep them coming Whitney, pure prefection as always.
I think I singlehandedly contributed 100 views to this 😭😭😭✋
creepy, funny, perfect delivery. Chapeau and thanks
This was SO beautifully well done! I would legit believe this was in the Broadway musical.
Honestly, if this particular Little Mermaid scene from the upcoming live action reboot is not as epic as yours, I don’t want to watch it. What a great job, acting and voice performance!
This is amazing!!! 🤩
Instantly obsessed!
Yasss! Love Garrett so much.
Another brilliant Music Video. Thank you Whitney Avalon!
Fantastic!
Wow, she has a little Celine Dion going on vocally. I mean that as a total compliment. The guy is no slouch either. These videos are incredible. I hope you folks are making good money from this because you deserve it.
Once again pure mindblowing genius!
Shell yeah!! 🐚
