Early this morning we received a press release in our robot Inbox for an upcoming game called Disney Sing It for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and Wii.

I almost passed out from happiness.

Instantly, I started thinking about a videogame that would let me sing such Disney classics like “One Jump Ahead” and “Kiss the Girl.” I imagined canceling plans on Saturday nights, lighting a bunch of candles, and singing “A Whole New World” to my cardboard cut out of Princess Jasmine until the sun comes up. My life would finally be complete!

But then I read the rest of the game’s title: Disney Sing It: Pop Hits. Wait, “Pop Hits?” What is going on?! The awful truth hit me when my misty eyes viewed the game’s proposed track list: Miley Cyrus (ugh!), Jonas Brothers (argh!), Coldplay (GAH!).

And then I wept.

I comprehend there are kids out there that love the above mentioned “musicians” and that this game will most likely appeal to a specific audience. But, honestly, let me see a show of hands: how many of you would purchase a sing-along Disney game with real Disney songs from the animated movies? (Pause for overwhelming response.) See, I knew it! It would sell millions! MILLIONS, DAMMIT! Come on, Disney, there’s a market for a game like this. PLEASE have it made. Do it for Destructoid. Do it … for me.
