Music that reminds you of WDW

[DisneyJunkie]

APART from anything from the Disney films, tv shows, videos, etc.......can you think of any other music or soundtrack that, when you hear it, makes you think about WDW?

For me, I'd have to say the soundtrack to the movie "Hook" does a good job of that.....and not simply because it makes me think of PPF in MK. There's a certain excitement, joy, and childlike fun that comes across in it, which is what I feel when I get to WDW.

There's also the soundtrack to "Dance With Wolves", since some of that music does play as the lobby area music in Wilderness Lodge.

The Good Life by OneRepublic...though it was used in Disney commercials (not sure if you're wanting to exclude those).

Apart from that, nothing really comes close to containing the magical qualities of Disney music to me.

 

[Hakunamatata]

The soundtrack to the Last of the Mohicans because I believe they use some cuts at the Wilderness Lodge.

If I ever hear whatever country band covers "Life Is A Highway", it'll be too soon.

 

[MattC]

Whenever I hear an Aerosmith song.

 

[Beholder]

The score to Indiana Jones. For me it works on many different levels.

 

[AndyS2992]

This:


And this:


Both clearly based on the same Disney piece

 

[copcarguyp71]

From Meet the Robinsons...really hits home and evokes all the feelings I cherish from past trips to the world with my family both as a child and sharing it with my wife and daughter...

 

[Walt Disney1955]

I have weird associations with some music and Disney. Or maybe it's normal on here. Who knows.

Red River Valley - Anytime I hear that song I think of Frontierland and especially the Mark Twain Riverboat at Disneyland.

A Rovin' - An old sea song. I don't know, the live street performers were playing it once time at New Orleans Square in Disneyland

Almost any old "country" song. "Home on the Range", "Happy Trails" etc. Just takes me right back to Frontierland. Maybe because some of it is in its musical loop anyway.

I guess if I hear "carnival-like" music at a fair or something it takes me back to Main Street with that type of music.

That song came way before the movie

 

[Matt_Black]

Longview by Green Day. Granted, that makes sense because they used the bass line during transitions on Walt Disney World Inside Out. Still, it always struck me as odd because the song is about... Well, you know. It's a credit to just how darn good that bass line is.

Also, Without You by Motley Crue.

I've found if you use "The Rippingtons" as a choice on iTunes or pandora radio, the music is very similar to The Contemporary Resorts background music.

 

[Figaro928]

The music from "Hello, Dolly" (not that I listen or watch Hello, Dolly much) But it was used in Wall-E & I'm 95% sure it's play as an instrumental on Main Street. That one little melody from "Put On your Sunday Clothes" just puts me in the best Disney mood.

 

[Nick Wilde]

Trans Siberian Orchestra's Christmas/Sarajevo reminds me of Splash Mountain. Don't ask me why, it just does.

 

[MikeTaylorSound]

That song came way before the movie

Hence, the word "cover".

 

[Private Duck]

Whenever I hear an Aerosmith song.

HAHA. Me too.

Along those lines- any time I hear Van Halen (1984 was on the radio 24/7 right before my first ever trip to WDW as an 8 year-old in 1984) or Guns N' Roses [saw their two "recent" shows in Orlando (Amway 2011 and House Of Blues Orlando at DTD in 2012) while on Disney vacations]. Incidentally, Axl is a "Disney" fan and annual Disneyland visitor.

Also- any time I hear Brittney, Justin Timberlake, the 90's boy bands, Bieber, Jonas Brothers, Miley, etc. as well.

 

[MaryJaneP]

Recently heard some Richard Bone music that sounded like Space Mountain stuff.

EDIT: 2006 Vesperia Part 2

 

[horizons82]

Mannheim Steamroller's Fresh Aire II and Fresh Aire III each have a track that were used in Tomorrowland that I remember hearing back when I went as a kid. Every time I hear those tracks today I still think of Tomorrowland.

While some have debated me on this, there is a home video of 'If You Had Wings' where a part was recorded outside and you can hear a track from Fresh Aire II playing in the background

 

[MCParradox]

Aerosmith songs always remind me of RnRC, but one song that particularly reminds me of WDW in general is Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus, as it played on the boat from PO-R as we came into DTD for the first time. That song now reminds me of that entire trip every time I hear it.

 

[Doodlyday]

I once heard a song, and said, out loud, "That sounds like Epcot music."
