The actual winner for that year was "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid While I'm not sure how you'd make the evaluation of whether "Fight the Power" or "Under the Sea" is an objectively better song, I think we can all agree being forced to choose us objectively funny

*All* of the Best Song nominees that year were from lighthearted comedies (along with "Kiss the Girl" also from The Little Mermaid) What I wouldn't have given to see Public Enemy up against Randy Newman for an award
