The article does also say “Henry co-wrote the opening song.”
Is Bear Band Serendade there as well?

I would hope for a new song entirely.

I don't hate it. If this change to Disney songs is to be made (and apparently it is), this is a fun mix.

Disney it taking all their original ideas and throwing them in the trash.

What on earth will big Al sing?

 

[stuart]

What on earth will big Al sing?

"There's no blood on the saddle"

 

[Sir_Cliff]

What on earth will big Al sing?

Remember Me?

 

[Streetway]

Remember Me?

whatever it is, he better not sing it normally.

 

[Sir_Cliff]

whatever it is, he better not sing it normally.

That's why that song stands out from that hypothetical song list: I could very much imagine Big Al popping up and singing that as a bit of an out-of-tune dirge and kind of bringing the whole show down.

It is trash. But you know how I feel.

 

[JenniferS]

Remember Me?

There are few songs on the list that lend itself to Big Al's voice, and a few that would be hilariously out of character.
Good fit: Remember Me, You've Got a Friend In Me.
Hilarious: Kiss the Girl, Supercalifragilisticexpialadocious ... the latter of which would take the whole show for him to finally get it out.

I do.

It's also not a confirmed playlist in any way, shape, or form.

So we are looking at a nine minute show runtime?

Disney it taking all their original ideas and throwing them in the trash.

The songs mostly weren't original to begin with. It was always styled as a musical revue that pulled together existing material in a silly way. It's still doing that, just with existing Disney material instead of random country music that is, for the most part, no longer part of the public consciousness in the way that it once was. If they were trashing a completely original score in favor of a few greatest hits, it would be more disappointing, but they're swapping out one set of older greatest hits for a newer (admittedly more self-serving) set.

You're probably right but personally, "Ernest the Dude", some of the overly-contrived backgrounds, and some of the songs chosen are giving me cause for concern.

The "overly-contrived backgrounds" have actually been used since Day One and were actually created by original show writers Al Bertino and Marc Davis. When the attraction first opened, they released the attraction's soundtrack on LP, and in the LP liner notes they had created detailed biographies for each of the bears, parts of which Disney here is mentioning once again.

Here is a post with all of their detailed biographies from the 1971 album notes:

Try Everything and Remember Me just screams Country Bears

That is some top level spin there...bravo.

It's ... the truth? The show never consisted of wholly original music. It was always a couple of originals framing out a series of recognizable (at one time) songs. This update is not a format change. It's a content change.
