SOMEONE out there *must* have a list of the songs during the "Remember...Dreams Come True" show ... and if I find it - I will be back... Stew
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I always just thought it was a variation on the Davy Crockett theme. If you listen carefully, it works pretty well as a counter-melody to the verses. I don't think I've ever heard it as part of the Davy Crockett song, but it seems like the composers of the show just wrote it based off of the verse. It's in the same style of the How The West Was Won theme, but I'm pretty sure that they're different songs. Using Davy Crockett also helps them not have to pay royalties on it too...

Added to that are the sound effects of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad; and then (of course) the Shooting Gallery.

Apparently I was familiar with the song. It has the same sort of familiarity as the Grand Canyon Suite and that song that they play with the steak (or beef) commercial. Course, now I'm blanking on that one too. Sorry! An Aaron Copland piece perhaps?
