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.
