1. Tomorrow's Child (Spaceship Earth)
2. New Horizons (Horizons)
3. There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (Carousel of Progress)
4. Golden Dreams (The American Adventure)
5. We Go On (Illuminations: Reflections of Earth)
6. The Opening & Finale of Fantasmic
7. Space Angels & Planetary Boogie (Sonny Eclipse)
8. Hooray for Hollywood (The Great Movie Ride)
9. Listen to the Land (Living with the Land)
10. Grim, Grinning Ghosts (The Haunted Mansion)

(This list is in no way, shape or form a top ten...just simply stating my songs as they came to me)

One of my favourites is “True Colours” by Cyndi Lauper.
It was used in the pre-show for “Honey I Shrunk the audience.” Even though I believe some of the verses were changed for the Epcot version, just hearing it reminds me of WDW.

So THAT is where I remember that song from. They had it back in 2004, didn't they have some sort of picture show that went with that?

Anyway, back on topic!

1. It's a small world after all......
2. A Pirates Life for me....
3. Original Tiki Room theme
4. Grim Grinnin Ghosts
5. The organ music in Swiss Family Treehouse
6. Golden Dreams *sniffle*
7. Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow
8. Blood on the Saddle..... Momma don't whup little Buford .... All the guys who turn me on turn me down (Country Bears)
9. America Sings! (DL)
10. The Rain, rain, rain came down, down down....

That’s correct.
Kodak sponsored the pavilion and the song played over hundreds of still photographs shown like a continuousness video. I believe the song was also used for an advertising campaign for Kodak, not sure if it was for the US or Asia market.

Another song also played at the same pavilion, which I really liked before HISTA. The song was We Are Here To Change the World by Michael Jackson from the film Captain EO.

One of my favourites is “True Colours” by Cyndi Lauper.
Although it wasn't Cyndi Lauper who sang the Epcot version. There were children singing it, as well as other adult voices, but no Cyndi!

Although Pirates has a great song, this debate begins and ends with Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow!! My god, I can't get that song out of my head for weeks after hearing it. It's so nostalgic too. I'm so glad they went back to it, and got rid of that other song.

NJGIRL
03-21-2007, 09:19 AM
Zip A Dee Doo DA is my favorite. We even sing it at home and change the words around alittle to put all the members of my family in it.

The music that they play at the fountain in EPCOT is also something I look forward to.

2. Zip a Dee Doo Da: What better way to end a classic ride like Splash Mountain?

3. Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Pirate's Life for Me!: The song and the ride enjoy a symbiotic relationship.

4. Grim Grinning Ghosts: Like Pirates, this song truly belongs with this ride.

5. Hooray for Hollywood: The song actually make me want to be at MGM right now.

Also, I love Wilderness Lodge lobby music!

Would love to find a recording of that...

Listen to the Land - The ORIGINAL version.

My boy grew up bouncing in the back seat
Let's listen to the land we all love,
Natures plan will shine above,
...
We forget that EPCOT's now old enough that there are adults who feel nostaligic for EPCOT attractions they visited as children.

bytheway

Did they ever fire the genius who tried to remove Figment?

I love the entire 2-disc set "The Official Walt Disney World Collection". But, I would have to put the "Soarin" track right on top. Imaginging w/each music change, where you're "soarin" over...:cloud9: ! I also love the jams @ RRC. The louder the better!!:thumbsup:

Anyone remember Veggie Veggie Fruit Fruit? LOL That was my brother's favorite song along with There was Blood on the Saddle.

Mine would be Yo Ho Yo Ho A Pirates Life for me, Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow, Tapestry of Dreams, the old Main Street Electrical Parade and I can keep going on and on and on....

ILoveLegos
03-22-2007, 10:53 PM
1. Canada (You're a Lifetime Journey) - I love the opening gong sound followed by the flute then Canada.... music begins and I look forward to seeing the night skiers holding their lanterns - that looks so cool! And I love seeing the forest thicket too.
2. Veggie, Veggie, Fruit-Fruit I still sing that in the land.
3. Illuminations especially the last two movements of the piece.
4. Any Epcot entrance music.
5. The Great Movie Ride, "Horay for Hollywood"
6. Tomorrow (from Annie) in It's Tough to be a bug preshow area. Made me teary because I remember practicing that song a million times on my flute during in my 6th grade year in our "All City" Orchestra - we practiced so much for a one night concert, at the end of which a lot of us cried saying goodbye to each other, (you had to audition and get selected each year so returns were not guaranteed) and we knew we'd never all be together again, it was quite sad, but a great experience all in all.

I love lists like these.

1) Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow
2) Grim Grinning Ghosts and Haunted Mansion full ride music
3) Space Mountain que music
4) Jungle Cruise que music (you really have to go to You Tube and listen to the Jungle Cruise area music loop - it's sort of like an old fashion campy jungle radio station with silly commentary throughout - lots of fun but difficult to fully hear when standing in line
5) Tiki Room
6) Pirates Life for Me
7) Epcot entrance music
9) Music around Carthay Theater in Hollywood Studios
10) Area music in Germany and Norway
I've found You Tube music videos under "Area Loops" for most of these and just listen to them all of the time on my computer. I'm listening to the Jungle Cruise area music loop right now! :mickey:

i can't believe how much I loved reading this post and all the responses! I love some songs more than others, but reading the posts made me realize how much each song adds to the attraction and just thinking/hearing it can almost take you there.

Gotta throw my votes for Pirates, COP, HM, Space Mnt, Future World, and Main Street.
