    This is how it starts...great tune.
    Fifty years of happiness
    Fifty years of fun
    Fifty years of growing and we've only just begun.
    Fifty years of building on a dream that never ends
    After that I just sort of lose it.
    Heard it playing all the time over the Christmas holidays 1972.

    The song sounds familiar but I couldn't tell you where i've heard it.

    Ten magic years ago you had your start
    Now you're the kingdom of the young and young at heart
    May you forever be the land of dreams come true
    Congratulations Disneyland, happy birthday to you!

    That was the Tencenial birthday song for Disneyland in '65. It was written by the Sherman Brothers. Disney probably just rehashed it for a company celebration in '72

    I might add you get to see a dancing cake which changes colors when it breaks off into little pieces and back again.

    Mmm....dancing cake.

    Much better than urinal cake.
