I would argue that Dream a Little Harder is an I want song for Jarfar. I don't think he says the words I want but it still establishes his desire to be liked by the public

Yes, it’s fine to have desires (and sing about them.) It’s *wishes* that Ja’far hates, as he’s a rationalist who feels like you can’t achieve any goals without actively working towards them, assuming they’re even possible.

Yeah, Dream A Little Harder would be Jafar's establishing "I want" song, then "A Thousand And One Nights" reflects his newfound desires. "Everything and More" (especially the reprise), while it exists mainly to parody the "I want" song, isn't Jafar's song, but it shows the Princess's desires contrasted to Jafar's AND Aladdin's. Honestly, this show might have 4 or 5 "I want" songs and it's fantastically messy.

What’s funny is that the character Jasmine isn’t is the musical. She’s just “the princess” because Disney copywrited the name I think. Could be wrong on the why, but the credits show her as the princess, and jasmine is never said once. Thought it was pretty neat

It's probably copyright! The genie is also listed as the 'Djinn' on the Starkid wiki (starkid.fandom.com/wiki/The_Djinn)

@@plotwell another theory I heard was that jasmine wasn’t actually her real name, and that Aladdin just made it up to sound believable.

That ending caught me very off guard, but honestly, its perfect when discussing this show.

I think that Happy Ending is the I want song, it takes the three main characters and they all say what they want. Jafar wants his wife back, the princess wants true love, and Aladdin wants riches and power

I was totally expecting the second I want song to somehow be no one remembers achmed

It technically is one (”All I want is some affection...”) thought I suppose it then turns into a I-Shall-Take-What-I-Want song.

I would argue that I steal everything is an I. Want song

no, its an i have song

"A Thousand and One Nights" *isnt* the I want song. "If I Believed" is. But your thesis still stands
