Which Carousel Song?

Post by rick2vick » Mar Wed 29, 2006 10:28 am

I love the Carousel of Progress. I first saw it at the World's Fair. I was only 3 years old. So my memories of that visit are very vague. However, I can't go to WDW without seeing it again and again. I enjoy both songs that have been used at the attraction, and I wonder how everyone else feels about them.

I never been on the attraction yet but the song "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow", is really a catchy. I sang along to it. :)

I do the samething. Whenever I go I have to include COP. It reminds me of how disney was when I first went. I always love watching the dogs reactions.

I don't remember "Now is the Time" so "GBBT" wins by default -- I do like it, though.

I read somewhere that there is a recording of Walt singing "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow." Does anyone know anything more about this?

I shudder at the thought of "Now Is The Time." Well, it's probably not that bad for me, but I don't think it fit the ride as well as GBBT does.

We were there about a month and a half ago. All I have to do is start humming GBBT and my kids start singing the song at the top of there lungs. It's just a tune that grabs you and you never get it out of your head!!

You all know my answer. I can't stand either of them. But the one I can't stand the least is Now is The Time. And yeah, what MouseMan said is true- you can never get it out of your head :roll:

Jbvenn, you can listen to "Now is the Time" right here on Subsonic. Just request the 1975 COP at WDW.

Thanks rick2vick -- I'll try to do that soon (just checked the playlist and it's not available right now). I'm pretty new here, so I'm still learning the ropes.

Update: I've heard "Now is the Time" a couple of times and can now unequivocally say that "GBBT" is by far my favorite of the two. So my vote stands as is.

Actually, you should thank the Sherman Brothers, but that's getting nitpickey... :wink:
