Yes, it's very obvious they were told to make these songs work because they don't fit well. I'd like to make my own playlist of more obscure Disney songs. I liked someone's idea of "Little Patch of Heaven" for the sunbonnets though. That'd sound great in 3 part harmony and so much better than them being backup singers.It almost seems like the imagineers were given a list of required songs from corporate and told ‘make these work.’ There are dozens of Disney songs which have a rustic, country feel and would’ve been no-brainers, but instead we’re stuck with pop songs awkwardly shoehorned. Some songs were very well done, but most of them feel like the imagineers were told to do their best with songs that clearly don’t represent the bears.
Maybe those in charge prefer having the more familiar tunes. For me, it's a turn-off because it turns the show into a sing along and there's already too many of those in the parks. Also, if they had a better playlist, I wish they'd reconsider making the show longer. It's hot in Florida, give us more of a break. Would it be so terrible if the show was 15 minutes? I miss the Bear Band Serenade.
