Synopsis

"Prince Ali" is a flamboyant number sung by the Genie (Robin Williams) as he introduces Agrabah to Prince Ali Ababwa, Aladdin's royal alter ego, with a giant caravan. A reprise of the song has Jafar (Jonathan Freeman) unmask Aladdin as a poor thief. An early reprise of the song in the stage musical has the Sultan announcing to the city's residents that his daughter Jasmine is to marry the prince. Cultural references
The Genie character is known for spouting elements of contemporary pop culture, and all his songs contain anachronistic references. During the song, Robin Williams imitates a Thanksgiving Parade commentor ("Don't they look lovely, June? "), Walter Brennan, and Ethel Merman. Critical reception
AllMusic wrote "Robin Williams' bravura performance as the magic lamp on songs such as "Friend Like Me" and "Prince Ali" are justifiably credited as the album's highlights." Director/choreographer of the stage musical, Casey Nicholaw said that "'Prince Ali', too, is a huge production number 'where the dancers wear four costumes each'". TalkingBroadway described the song as one of the three showstoppers of the musical, along with "Friend Like Me" and "A Whole New World". NBC New York dubbed it "Act II's standout". In popular culture 
This song is playable in the video game Just Dance 2014. Will Smith, as the Genie, performs the song in the 2019 live-action remake of ''Aladdin. This version incorporates some hip hop musical elements, and has made some changes to the lyrics. For example, "Sunday Salam" has been changed to "Friday Salam" to reflect the Islamic holy day. It also omits reference to Prince Ali having slaves by changing it to stating that Ali has "ten thousand servants and flunkies". Charts
