I just love that Joss gave Buffy a cutesy "I Want" song to start it, cute choreography and all, even if the subject of the song is much heavier than the Alan Menken/Disney model he's emulating.
Pochahontas has "Just Around The River Bend" Ariel has "Part of Your World" Buffy has "Going Through The Motions"
I love it.
Dawn: Oh my God. You'll never believe what happened at school today. Buffy: Everybody started singing and dancing? Dawn: I gave birth to a pterodactyl. Anya: Oh my God, did it sing?
Anya: Clearly our number is a retro-pastiche that's never going to be a break-away pop hit.

Buffy: Thought you wanted me to stay away from you. Isn't that what you sang? Xander: Spike sing a "widdle" song? Anya: Would you say it was a breakaway pop hit, or more of a book number? Xander: Let it go sweetie.
