Show of hands! - HM

[Kwit35]

I am sure this has been discussed before, but, who else loves the Grim Grinning Ghosts song, from the Haunted Mansion. I have to say this is one of my favorite theme songs, from a ride. It has a groovy beat, makes you tap your feet, and it is fun. The words just crack me up, and do such a great job of creating an image, in my mind, of the ride itself. Anyone else have any thoughts about this tune?
I have many favorites, splash, POC... but this one brings back the most childhood memories, for me.
(I am listening to wishes right now on live365 and getting all choked up!)

I love everything about the HM! I've been in love with that ride since the first time I came down here with my family in 1975.

Paul Frees....my main man and Ghost Host is the main attraction for me. Tony the Tiger (Thurl Ravencroft) singing GGG is fun...the whole ride is fun!

:sohappy:

I really like that one too. They captured the 'spirit' of the song.

Love GGG -- I think it's really cool how they have all the different versions of it playing together in perfect orchestration throughout the ride.

I love that song too! It's my favorite "ride" song. I always sing along when I'm riding and my co-passengers think I'm nuts.

I just leaned how to play the version played in the Ballroom in the Haunted Mansion on the keyboard! When the crazy organist stops playing, I can fill his spot and become the 1,000th ghost!:drevil:

I've got the beginning organ part as a ring for my cell phone

couldn't agre more.

ironically, i'm a fan of BNL before i found out they did GGG and even prior to that i was a fan of HM.

I love lots of ride songs - even have a tape of them for my car - but GGG is one of the best! I haven't heard the BNL version yet, though - I'll be on the lookout for it.

I think it is from the HM movie.

The Haunted Mansion theme song is great, and I love BNL's version. (big fan of that band) I love all of the Disney attraction theme songs (Pirates, Splash Mountain, etc) except for Small World :hurl:
