'Blood On The Saddle' Country Bear Jamboree

One of my favorite songs in the Jamboree!
Blood on the saddle...
Blood all around....
And a great big puddle of blood on the ground.... heh heh

[@CanuckQuest]

I was just there and saw this firsthand. There are no words. You just have to experience it for yourself to see this unfold In real time. It’s like watching us land on the moon.

[@disneydanny2]

such a shame that after January 26th 2024 to see Big Al sing this in person, you'd have to go to Tokyo,

[@rogonandi]

Unabridged, the song is actually a really sad one about a rodeo accident, but the Country Bear version makes it less obvious what it's about...and the bear's chuckle at the end makes it 1000% creepier.

[@Elavator66]

still hoping Disney would edit in the entire song, that'd be really interesting.

[@alosergoddamnbaby]

Nah, what makes it even MORE creepy is that despite it being about an actual accident, the guy who wrote it found the accident, and told his friends and family, and they found it amusing. It then turned into this kind of 'inside joke' thing, which is why the song is sung in the strange manner. It's in a 'mocking' way, so yeah, even more creepy 😭

[@Burmilla.]

​@@alosergoddamnbaby oh my god.

[@Yogurt-Anonymous]

Even the Disney version freaky tbh, then again they just changed the song 😭

[@TNmountainguy]

Papa was an engineer in the ‘60s at Disneyland. Worked on this one and the Lincoln robot. Needless to say we spent a lot of time there. Nana made fancy feathered hats and costumes for the Ice Capades at their house in North Hollywood. Her pet skunk was in Dr. Dolittle. Uncle was wardrobe designer for Green Acres and wrote episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man. Loved those days.

[@disneydanny2]

any idea what they used to make the hydraulic fluid in Trixie's wine glass red?

[@xenophanes5860]

the show came out at 1972 at disneyland one year after disneyworld so you your.papa worled from.the 60s to the 70s

[@TheElvisJamboree]

It's shortened. Not abridged.

When I went to see this back in 2003, something malfunctioned and this started playing during another song...

I love it. It’s like one of my favorite parts of the show.

[@peppapigsleftnostril7480]

I watched this at Disney with my grandpa when he was alive and I was about 4 and I remember that it was his favorite attraction there. Watching this now low key gives me the creeps tho

This is my mom's favorite bear, and her favorite song. Lol when he was a walk around character in the street party ho down, she got a selfie with him.

They have completely changed this song in Disney now… I just literally came out of this show 2 minutes ago and they changed it to remember me from coco.. you will be remembered with your amazing song big al…..

[@ThatMetalFamilyEditor]

I am extremely disappointed as this was my favourite show BECAUSE of that song. Screw the people that sent complaints about this song,

[@daleishus8420]

Typed blood on the saddle and this came up never knew the bear covered it from Tex.. always thought it was the mess after a bear attack lol Saw the show when I was a kid--70s.. guess it's still there according to the comments.. that makes it pretty old, probably a maintenance nightmare by now.. like me 🤕

[@milothecat1018]

Sadly as of recent the show was overhauled and this part was replaced by al instead singing part of remember me from coco

[@lianecornils6603]

🙏🙏

[@Rubberman202]

I remember seeing this for the first time as a kid and thinking to myself "what the heck is happening?!" and being slightly creeped out.

[@50percentGrey]

That chuckle he does at the end really implies something bad, doesn't it?

Tex Ritter. John Ritter’s dad.

Tex Ritter sang that. He was the father of John Ritter who stared in "Three's Company."

[@brianriddle2135]

😮😮😮😮😮 This is awesome!!

[@thomaswedding8476]

This is scary A kids show with the lyrics saying "A cowboy covered in gore, cant ride Broncos no more

[@nemiiart]

Well, it doesn't actually say that part in the attraction. It's a country song by Tex Ritter, who was a children's musician as well and did lots of cowboy songs. Scary? Come on, man. That's frontier fun lol

[@ZoraCatone]

Wimp.

[@danaharris1702]

This song was soooo creepy. It stuck in my memory for the past 4 decades!!! How was this a Disneyland attraction for young kids, I will never understand!

[@xenophanes5860]

actually it wasnt never ment tl be creepy the song it self is a story lf a sad rodeo accident but at disney its more funny because big besr sings song and also interrupts other song

[@lenniegray3086]

The song itself is actually really sad, but the fact that the guitar is out of tune and the singing is off key, coupled with the chuckle that makes Big Al sound like he's under the influence of alcohol at the end makes it so unintentionally funny.

I can’t believe they got rid of this for coco….they just want IPs in the park with no originality.

The bears are still there. Just updated with new music and costumes. Can't wait to see it in a few weeks. Looks fun. Anaheim is getting a Coco ride, at least that was what was announced.

Ma'am calm your tits. This song was written by a great western ballad icon, tex ritter. It's about a sad rodeo accident. Besides this is not gore
