What's your favorite classic EPCOT song?

Future Guy · Post by **Future Guy** » Apr Tue 21, 2009 2:52 pm

Almost every pavilion in the pre-1994 Future World had a theme song that you either heard during the ride or in the queue area. Which one was your favorite?

Note: I deliberately did not include "One Little Spark" because the song can still be heard (in an admittedly inferior form) in the current incarnation of the Imagination ride. Also, I didn't list each song from Food Rocks and Kitchen Kaberet individually, as it would have caused the poll to be ridiculously long.

My vote goes out to New Horizons as this song just has a lot of meaning to it, and the vocals are very well done. And of course, it comes from a great attraction that should have never been destroyed. I really liked that this was the first song that they played after the ending of the 25th Anniversary Fireworks of Illuminations. It really shows a lot and how important the song is, at least that's my 2 cents of the song.

I could really continue about my other 2 favorite songs on this list but I will hold off on that for later.

I could listen to New Horizons on repeat all day. It's probably my favorite ride audio as it is uplifting, entertaining, and has that "Epcot Center" feel flowing throughout the entire ride. The song New Horizons is very well don like packwingfn said...which makes it easy on the ears. All that said...I am going to go listen to it right now!

I can't choose just one!!! Odly enough, I'm finding this the hardest poll here. I love; Tomorrow's Child, Feel The Flow, New Horizons, Fun To Be Free, Makin' Memories and Listen to the Land almost equally! How to choose? I guess I'm just an old school EPCOT junkie!

They are all great songs with equally great memories. Feel the Flow was strong musically. I do appreciate the fact that Ellen's Energy Adventure does pay homage to the original ride by including "Energy, you make the world go 'round" during the "Jeopardy!" portion of the show. New Horizons was very smooth and promised of a great future to come. Tomorrow's Child had a similar mood to it (promises of a brighter tomorrow). But I do have to say my least favorite song would have to be "Fun to be Free". Just how many ways could they have done that song?

I'm not a huge fan of Fun to Be Free but I'll admit that once in a while, I will start hummingit or singing it randomally either at work or at school or in the car. I really don't know why because I barely remember it when I used to go on the attraction, it doesn't stand out to me like the other songs from my childhood.

My pick is Magic Journeys. It has this great airy, ethereal, stream-of-consciousness feel to it that I really like.

How could a dedicated Horizons-o-phile like me not pick New Horizons? It's a good song to be sure, but it's kind of like a marshmallow Peep- so sweet it makes your teeth ache. Tomorrow's Child affects me the same way. In the end, the painful earnestness of it always makes me giggle. Still, Horizons' score is my favorite one, by far.

And although I was always kind of indifferent to World of Motion, Fun To Be Free is, well, a fun song. It's catchy; I constantly find myself silently humming it.

It's got to be "Makin' Memories". I LOVE taking pictures. I love this song for another reason, though--what is it we are really doing with our families at Disney? Makin' Memories, of course!

songs from Food Rocks- The Land Isn't that one with Tone Loc? There's a combo I never would have thought.

Ooooh tough call! This is a good poll. I LOVE all of these songs, but I had to vote for "Fun to be Free". This song gets stuck in my head often!

It has to be Figamint!!!!

For me it has to be "Listen to the Land" since every time I hear it, it gets stuck in my head. Also, I still find it kind of catchy to the point where I will sing along with it when it comes on!

Well, I've been introduced to the songs here on Subsonic and I'm torn between both New Horizons and Tomorrow's Child. They're both really great to listen to.

This was one of the hardest decisions I ahve made in a poll here. I went wity Tomorrow's Child. I really do miss hearing it and I always felt that song embodied teh meaning of EPCOT as a whole...they are all great songs. All original, and amazing. Not like MK where many songs are from the cartoons and movies at DHS. The originals were jsut that original...Disney should return to it's roots in that catagory.

I voted the Kitchen Kabaret option, but really it's the Veggie, Fruit, Fruit song. There are others on there that I really like but they have this tendency to get stuck in my head for days. Like Tomorrow's Child and Fun to be Free.... even Listen to the Land. After that happened a few times I couldn't really consider them 'my favorite'. Like, really, even just reading the poll has TC running through my head. Most likely to drive me insane, possibly.

Veggie Fruit Fruit is catchy and doesn't worm its way into my brain, so it gets my vote.
