The Parent Trap (song)

For other uses, see The Parent Trap (disambiguation).

"The Parent Trap" was the title song from the 1961 Wikipedia film, The Parent Trap. It was sung by teen idols, Annette Funicello and Tommy Sands and it was written by the songwriting brother team of Robert and Richard Sherman.

According to wikipedia, they raised a concern with Wikipedia when they were given the assignment to write this song. The songwriters believed that it would prove difficult to enunciate the two letter "t"s, one immediately following the other (i.e. "ParenT Trap" would prove difficult to say quickly.) Nevertheless, Wikpedia wanted to keep the title of the film and so the music underneath the title line of the song compensates for this problem but putting a short break between the words.
