Frozen Let It Go...oodles of thirds over the bass line...normal?

My daughter who is 4 loves this tune...so the bass line is easy enough...and a 1,5,6,4 chorus.

Then I started looking at the intro' and the melody from the piano sheet music and find that while the left hand is playing power chords the right hand is playing thirds 'n twiddly bits for pretty much most of the melody.

I was thinking is this song structure unusual, as in thirds over the root is not uncommon, but for most of a melody?

Bass on that track is actually very nice

I couldn't find out who the bass player was but the drummer I believe was Matt chamberlain. Disney have a long history of using top quality musicians and studios (Mary poppins and bedknobs and broomsticks were done at Sunset Sound- like parts of led zep 2!) they also are pretty flexible during production and will prescribe approximately 80% of the parts for musicians like drummers then allow them to humanise it themselves. Sounds like a great gig to have!
