News New Parade: Magic Happens

[Kram Sacul]

Clearly most of the commenters on here haven’t actually seen the parade in person. The “attitude” faces were just for a press photo. The dancers are on the route smiling just like they would for any other Disney parade. The soundtrack is different from what we’re used to, but it really works for this parade. It’s a welcome change, in my opinion.

You mean there’s our of touch commentators on here that don’t know what they’re talking about? That can’t be!

Does anyone know the lyrics to the main song? There's a few I just can't understand whatsoever.
The song goes like:
You wish you may you wish you might...
magic happens.
Dreams were made to then come true?

After this, it completely loses me. The next lyrics sound like:
When you pull someone like you.
Stability of which takes you.

any help here?

here's what me and my friend came up with.
(?) indicates "i'm not sure if this is the right word" and [???] indicates "i have absolutely no clue what this part could be"
(ETA 3/22/20: Lyrics are now complete and accurate!)

INTRO:
This is the anthem
Here's what you came for
This is the moment
Magic was made for

Come one, come all
Let's light up the sky now
You feel the magic
Happening right now

Calling all dreamers
Time to let your mind run free
To believe in make believe
To be who you wanna be

Calling all dreamers
A celebration in the street
And the sights you're gonna see
Far beyond your wildest dreams

Well, you don't need wings to take flight
Magic don't stop! at midnight
So hold on tight, enjoy the ride

(CHORUS)
Cause you can reach for the stars in broad daylight
Heart, there's a spark you just can't fight
You wish you may, you wish you might
Well, magic happens

Dreams were made to make come true
Waiting for someone like you
Just a bibbidi-bobbidi-boo and
Magic happens

That's when (that's when)
Magic (magic)
Happens (happens)
Whoah-oah

That's when (that's when)
Magic (magic)
Happens (happens)
Whoah-oah

A simple wish, it just takes
A true love's kiss, and spells break
A shooting star, to catch your eye, yeah
You don't need wings to take flight
Magic don't stop at midnight
So hold on tight, enjoy the ride

(CHORUS)

Did a slow seventh grader write this for english class?

It sure ain't the Sherman brothers.

How many times do they have to use the millennial whoop in this song?

It's a pop song what do you expect.

It's supposed to be a pop song. Almost all of the pop songs today suck with no originality.There are only a few that actually sound good. So I wasn't expecting much in music

This doesn’t sound like modern pop songs, sounds mid-2000s ish with serous HSM vibes, the height of Disney channel. Y’all are old farts who don’t like any of it though. I can assure you it has its fans and this forum is not the target audience.

I always interpreted Main Street to be an old town preserved and set in the present day, in which conflicting vibes like the Main Street architecture and the parade music play off each other just fine. Helps I don’t hate the music but I understand some do.

There was a parade, Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It!, in Magic Kingdom, that the folks on the main forum generally dislike, and that’s my favorite parade of all time. It used remixed Hannah Montana and Corbin Bleu songs, with floats that didn’t fit the style of Main Street at all either, yet it was popular, and I loved it.

Movie It! Shake It! doesn't count as a parade.

 

[No Name]

Movie It! Shake It! doesn't count as a parade.

It fits just about any definition of a parade. I understand certain folks won’t acknowledge that and will only call it a street party, but it’s a parade.

For those unfamiliar:

For those unfamiliar:

Why not both?

It's a parade to a dance party.

 

[brb1006]

It's a parade to a dance party.

Except it only runs down Main Street and not the full parade route.

 

[MisterPenguin]

That's a rather arbitrary way to define a parade, namely, it doesn't take a route other parades do.

That's like saying the Festival of Fantasy isn't a parade because it doesn't go down Fifth Ave. in NYC, which is *the* parade route.

It has it's own route.

Thats why Festival of Fantasy isn't a parade either.. It's a festival.

 

[waltography]

I happen to be right in the sweet spot for what this parade's targeting so I really liked it from first watch. The music's catchy enough that I've started using the chorus to time 20 seconds while washing my hands.

Wish it had more aesthetic cohesiveness like Sound did, but I think the floats are still beautiful nevertheless. The poor dancers with some of those costumes, though; it's got to be having the same problems PTN did with uncomfy costumes.

And it exists, so, it's not a fantasy.

You can reach for the stars in broad daylight
Heart, there’s a spark you just can’t fight
When you wish you may and wish you might then
Magic Happens

Dreams were made to make come true
Waiting for someone like you
Just a bibbity bobbity boo and
Magic Happens

Magic Happens

Thanks to both of you!

 

[VJ]

You wished you may and wished you might, and today Disneyland made your dream come true. A virtual viewing of Magic Happens presented with a source audio music track and professionally-shot video.

 

[Communicora]

This video makes me like it a lot more.

If I'm honest with myself I'm sure some of my dislike is because I loathe Todrick.

ETA: I still hate The Hunger Gamesish intro bit
