Let It Go
The song from Frozen, sung by Idina Menzel as Elsa, which spread past the film and into every playground, car journey and school concert of 2014. Covered, dubbed, parodied and multi-language-mashed until parents began to flinch at the opening piano. The record's entry for a song that outgrew its film.

A five-year-old sang it at me on a train from Leeds, all of it, twice. Her father apologised. Nobody else in the carriage looked surprised.

The 25-language version, cutting between dubs mid-line, was a viral object in its own right, watched by adults with no children as a piece of technical curiosity.
