One of the new songs added to The Little Mermaid for the new live-action film is “The Scuttlebutt,” which is performed by Awkwafina and Daveed Diggs.

Awkwafina voices the role of Scuttle, who is no longer a seagull for this movie, and Daveed voices the role of the beloved character Sebastian.

The song takes place near the end of the movie when Scuttle brings news to Sebastian that Ursula has transformed from the sea witch into a beautiful young woman named Vanessa in an effort to steal Prince Eric’s heart.

“The gossip! The buzz! The who-said-what-who-does-that, yeah, the Scuttlebutt!” Scuttle raps in the song.

The world premiere of Disney’s The Little Mermaid live-action remake just took place and the first reactions from critics have been revealed.

Halle Bailey and Melissa McCarthy walked the red carpet for the event on Monday night (May 8) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

They were joined by co-stars Jonah Hauer-King, Daveed Diggs, Awkwafina, Jacob Tremblay, Javier Bardem, Noma Dumezweni and Art Malik, as well as director Rob Marshall and original Ariel actress Jodi Benson, among others.

The Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton’s daughters and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea and, while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden from interacting with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy.

The movie will be released in theaters on May 26.
