Originally Posted By Skylardad >>I write the songs that ev'ry tourist sings...<< Sorry ChiMike - it was a pretty late (and lame) post for me. The humor I was trying to convey was to the tune of Barry Manilow's "I Write The Songs". While reading the previous posts I related the "Land" song and the corny John Denver references and kept getting other corny songs stuck in my brain. "I Write The Songs" is one of them. There are plenty of Disney songs that get stuck in my brain too (I'll refrain from posting the list to avoid spreading brain-sticking moments to others). Bottom line, I won't quit my day job.

Originally Posted By BlueOhanaTerror Lyrics might be a bit corny and simplistic, but the melody/music is quite versatile and memorable. If anyone has or remembers the long FUTURE WORLD loop of the 80's, which they still play in Disneyland's Tomorrowland, there's a segment featuring grand orchestration of that tune. It feels very "Bold American Frontier."
