Music of Yesterland

[Disney Wrassler]

Are there any specific musical loops that use to play at Disneyland that you loved now don't play in the parks anymore? What extinct Disney attractions had songs that you enjoyed listening too? And what magical Disney street bands, quartets, etc., that now exist in Yesterland, did you enjoy listening to?

There is mine train through nature's wonderland and rainbow ridge loops you could get from the 2 disc 50th set.

And also the 6 CD set "A Musical History of Disneyland" .

I don't like the Rainbow Caverns stuff though when it comes to Mine Train Through Natures Wonderland. I do enjoy listening to, over and over, the CircleVision "America The Beautiful" track.

I also love playing all the Country Bear Tracks.

I think the woman who sang "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" for Teddi Berra has a wonderful voice!

I was really disappointed that the Peoplemover music was listed, but the Monorail song was actually on that track. It would've been wonderful to hear that relaxing 1970's Peoplemover tune!

Re: Music of Yesterland

The Disney music always had away of bringing back memories of Disneyland for me. That is what got me started in collecting the Disney vinyl.

Now it is the 50th anniversary of Disneyland Records (WDR) and we are going to celebrate it here in Seattle next month with the opening of a year long exhibit at the Experience Music Project (EMP).

To kick it off, the EMP and the MountainEars chapter of the National Fantasy Fan Club (NFFC) are hosting a 3 day Disney Music Convention Nov 3-5.

here is more info!

Re: Music of Yesterland

After getting to listen to the Musical History of Disneyland set, I really liked Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow and the County Bear Vacation Hoedown (the regular Jamboree was good, but I preferred the Vacation track)

Re: Music of Yesterland

I like listening to certain portions of "America the Beautiful" like "Fish of the Sea," "Battle Hymn of the Republic," "Get Along Ye Li'l Doggies," etc.

I love listening to the Peoplemover background loop that I recorded in 1991. It brings back so many memories:gladsad:

Re: Music of Yesterland

I did not realize how much the sounds of Disneyland can bring back memories but after tuning into www.uabmagic.com I became an instant addict. I vaguely remember Adventures through Inner Space but listening to the entire attraction is just a hoot. The subs were one of my all time favorites as a kid but I could not remember the entire script so hearing it again was incredible. I love hearing tracks from The Carousel of Progress, background music for the Peoplemovers, and Tahitian Terrace dinner music since I don't remember (or did not ever get to experience) these attractions. Disneyland is so attentive to detail and their music is no exception.

Oh, I agree with you! I loved that music and thought the dioramas were so cool. It broke my heart when I found out I would never get to do the walk through again. I wish I would have taken photos but I think I may have some old video somewhere that I will have to try to dig up some day. Until then, I am with princedalton and would really appreciate anyone else posting their photos.

PS - you have inspired me and I just requested the walk-through medley from the Utilidor's site. Now if I only had the dioramas to go with it I could have my own little show in my cube! )

Re: Music of Yesterland

I only remember the dioramas but not the music .

Re: Music of Yesterland

I cant stop listenin to Country bears christmas, MSEP, and America Sings on my 50th set. I love those songs

Re: Music of Yesterland

I like the sounds from The Frito Kid vending machine at Casa de Fritos; the Kid calling to Klondike for another bag of Fritos, set to that bouncy little samba.

The REAL Peoplemover music (not the Goodyear theme or the monorail song) is a great set too. Only wish I could find a clean set of all of them (I think there are ten or eleven songs).

Re: Music of Yesterland

This is a newer entry, but I already miss the Dick Dale soundtrack from Space Mountain.

Hehe... the people mover music plays whenever i turn on my computer so I can't say I miss it all that much, but i do miss it in the park.


And this is a weird one, but I totally miss the MAGIC KINGDOM CORP. Don't know if you ever caught this small group of drum & bugle musicians. They'd march around and play disney songs (and others) with all the brass glory you can want. sigh, they got cut when the Pressler regime started and they decided that live music wasn't worth spending on. Other musicians have returned now, but I still haven't seen or heard the magic kingdom corp presence in years.

I agree 100%. The first time I rode it with the new music I thought it was good but was just missing something.

That is really sad. I also heard there was some amazing groups that were in Adventureland that are since gone. They played steel drums and were located somewhere above the Jungle Cruise I believe. I really wish they would bring these types of bands back, they are so amazing and really add to the atmosphere.

I loved the recorded music heard outside the ticket booths, with the voice of the legendary Jack Wagner describing the various admission and ticket book options.

He also had a special spiel for wet weather..."Into each life a little rain must fall. Welll - it looks like today is our day."

I, of course, loved the Tahitian Terrace and its dinner show, but part of the time I worked there, I really didn't like the last "Aloha" because it meant break time was over.

BTW...musical note...we always saved our used big salad oil tins for the drummers...they would hollow them out and use em!!!

Thanks for letting me share a little memory.

Radiobarry I always LOVE when you post fun memories from your time at the park. I am so envious that you were able to not only see but work behind the scenes at the Tahitian Terrace! The photos show an amazing show with incredible detail. The music I have heard from it was great too, I only wish I could have heard it in person and not only on recordings.

I also love hearing the recordings of the ticket booth annoucements even though I don't recall the time when there were ticket books and not general admission. It reminds me of that excited feeling that you experience as you first enter the park. Another one of my favorites is the background music from Main Street. When I hear it I can almost smell the tasty treats and see all the bustling traffic through all the shops.

I cannot believe they used your empty salad oil tins for drums! Great story Radiobarry, thank you once again for taking us back to Yesterdayland through your eyes.
