[@lohphat]

In SoCal in 1976 as part of the US Bicentennial Celebrations, local grade schools were given field trips to Disneyland and special tickets to get on "patriotic" attractions for "free". Remember that at this time, ticket books were the norm, not the one-price all access as it is today. I remember that trip at 10 years old in 5th grade like it was yesterday. Nine years later, I started as a cast member in Entertainment/Parades and lasted over 8 years. I remember crying during the finale sing along to Auld Lang Syne in its last days in April 1988. This is the original with the "Who shot that hole in my sombrero" with a Mexican accent -- it was quickly changed to a vague US Southern accent soon after it debuted...

[@Universal_soundtrack]

Thats Awesome

[@lorettacasorini7127]

I LOVED THIS RIDE as a child at Disneyland! When I listen to the songs now , as an adult, it makes my heart leap with joy and remind me of a simpler and much HAPPIER America.

[@TheBrowncoat2112]

I actually rode this attraction as a kid. My parents even bought the soundtrack on LP and I listened to it so often growing up the record eventually ended up with significant scratches in it.

[@kylehill3643]

Should've gotten a new needle before it reached that point. Would've saved you that record and others.

[@jade_ottsel]

I love the verse of "Home on The Range" they used...it feels like a lesser-known part of the song, tbh. ^^;

[@kylehill3643]

I wonder if there is a fuller version of the songs they did?

[@adamhandley9482]

I actually have a copy of this LP, although it contains the edited version of "Who shot the hole in my sombrero". When I told the shopkeeper of my local record shop I had it, he actually was surprised, saying he actually worked the ride back then when he was younger!

[@nothere413]

Rocco throwing up and getting diarrhea at the Japanese Cafe brought me here.

[@musicscores439]

I wish there was a full version of 11:32 to listen to. The harmonics and harmonisation from the quintet are on point.

[@CC007]

Omg...I was 4 when this came out, I remember this show...thank you. My childhood...

[@iconsreaper7078]

I wish I could find a full version of down by the riverside at 4:37 in the american sings version. It sounds so fun to listen to!

[@gardnerhill9073]

That was my favorite part of the ride - I'd go on America Sings! 2-3 times just to catch that hen-fox revival. (Nice to see them in "Splash Mountain" afterwards.)

[@tres-adames]

The version of "My Old Kentucky Home" at 2:30 is my absolute favorite. I've yet to hear a version as beautiful as this short snippet - I wish there was a full version of the song!

[@darrenabel4613]

Taken from an earlier disneyland attraction ciramica trails of the west 1955-1960 and the original america the beautiful 1960-1967.

Down by the Riverside at 4:37 slaps so hard. Best part of this in my opinion.

[@MrAwesomedude808]

19:22 through the end of the video was also used as the load music for the show

[@WML95]

Interesting fact! Thanks for sharing!

[@MrAwesomedude808]

WML95 I only know this because someone posted a video of America sings in an empty theater car, and they had coincidentally recorded the moments before the curtains opened and the lights went out including when a spotlight would shine on the left wall where a cast member stood with a mic.

[@cuttersboi08]

I was at Disneyland on the day of the 50th Anniversary. One of the shops on Mainstreet had a machine that allowed you to select the "soundtrack" of older rides and attractions - the ones that weren't there anymore - and record it on a CD. I was thrilled to find this one available since it was a favorite of mine as a kid. There was a problem in getting it done and the lady helping me apologized because the printer seemed to be low on toner or ink so the label didn't print too clearly. It was still legible and I was too thrilled to get a chance to buy this I didn't care. I play this every Independence Day. BTW: I looked for and asked about the machine on my last trip to Disneyland (spring '19) and they told me they didn't have it any longer.

[@kylehill3643]

I don't know who's 'bright' idea it was to get rid of that machine.

[@disneydanny2]

I was there that day too and can describe it in 3 words, AMAZING , but *HOT!*

[@SlushysSecret]

@@kylehill3643 ikr, that was a waste of history

[@cuttersboi08]

@@disneydanny2 I don't remember the heat. I do remember having to wait an hour on Main Street while the opening ceremonies played out... that most of the guests couldn't see but that the press had front row seats for... and that when they did finally allow us to the rides, half of them were not yet running. After all that mess it did end up to be alot of fun.

This was my only favorite ride I still watch it here on youtube singing all the songs love it so retro

[@ilovemayoi5856]

ja-da is so goddamn good i feel like ive looped it for more times than im supposed to

[@robertschuch]

13:17 Next came ragtime, blues and jazz. The nation was a-jumpin' Foxtrots and the bunny hug had everyone a-stompin' Then swing and big bands were the rage. The songs they were most pleasin' Rock and roll soon took its toll; the dancers stopped a-squeezin'

[@GNF54]

That is really good writing.

[@Neon-cu7oh]

Thank you so much. I was wondering what Sam said during the transition to modern times.

[@WML95]

My favorite part of this entire thing? That scream at 6:48. Either that or the weasel. The whole show is just fun insanity to me. -VJ

[@isaacmercado4641]

I love your stuff

[@AndysRetailExploration]

WML95 i love this part at 5:42-6:04 background music. I would listen all the time

[@makkypak415]

WML95 It was the fox and bunny after the cave exploded or somethinf

[@gpwerner]

To clarify from one who grew up seeing the show, the scream was indeed the fox, getting chased back and forth on the stage on a railroad sidecar by a train we never see before it finally runs him and the bunny over at 6:48. :)

[@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY]

yeah it sound like goofy screaming

[@2can99]

You can tell this is from the soundtrack due to the dogs accent in "who shot the whole in my sombrero" as it is a 'mexican' accent when in the show they changed it over to a more texan one (random fun fact)

[@SeanGTM]

Ahhhh, the memories. I wish this was still at Disneyland so I could share it with my daughter.

[@maddoxcox]

Make sure to tell her that a girl died on there ;)

[@GNF54]

@@maddoxcox Shut up, almost every Disney attraction has a fatality on it, most of which were caused by stupidity. So next time you see someone mention the people mover, go tell everyone how a bunch of idiots got killed on the ride.
