Who Still Goes To CBJ?

[Wilt Dasney]

I dragged my friend into it on my last trip.

I really think that despite the aged technology, the music and wit of the show are timeless. The whole thing is self-confidently corny in a way that I think has aged well. The music is genuinely catchy, and the themes of the show are pretty subversive. Listen to the lyrics and you pick up themes like swearing, gunplay, alcohol consumption, domestic abuse, adultery...and of course, puddles of blood. It's pretty adult stuff for a "family friendly" show right in the middle of a Disney park!

I never miss it. Some fun that I've had in recent months is tracking down info on some of the songs from the show. Here's a video showing Tex Ritter (voice of Big Al) singing "Blood on the Saddle" on a 60's TV show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFO78_zgKsc It always makes me laugh.

We've been once in 25 years. Just one of those attractions we tend to pass up for something else we like better.

I go every visit. AND I enjoy it.

I was browsing through the videos on this site and i came along the Country Bear Jamboree (CBJ).

How many of you still visit this attraction?

I know i did.. :snore:

This attraction is one that we always make time for when at the MK. I am happy to see that it has not been closed like the Diamond Shoe show.

every visit

we go every visit.. Now if I watched the You tube all the time, it wouldn't be special.. but for me, at age 54, Its a MUST..

 

[Patrick_Ears]

For some reason i thought it was different when i was a kid.. :shrug: But it's a classic just like some other attractions in the park.

 

[Ralphlaw]

20 minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

 

[xdan0920]

This is one of the classics that I have zero interest in. I suppose if the heat is unbearable :ROFLOL: (clever i know) I would pop in for a show.

Saw it twice...can't stand it. I'd rather have a root canal than see that show again. Outdated technology, really bad audio, political incorrectness to the max. Bears drinking corn whiskey from gallon jugs singing about whipping someone or perhaps shooting them instead. Songs about blood on saddles. I laughed at stuff like that when I was six years old. Now...well...it's just not funny to me anymore.

" Lil ole Tennessee Bear, is featured on the THANG...it's kinda like a geetar but it's only got one strang" :snore::hurl:

I usually go at least once when we are at the MK, but we went 4 times last week w/ our 14 month old twins b/c THEY LOVED IT!! Besides the Carousel, it was their favorite attraction. Now that we are home I have pulled video of it on my Apple TV from youtube so they can see it again. They still smile and point and dance! Priceless!

 

[Goofy6294]

I'm not even sure why I like it, but we always try to see it! This past Easter was the first time we've missed it.

 

[captainkidd]

I still go.

 

[Mukta]

I see it every time I visit the MK. It is a great attraction!

 

[Oddysey]

It's so much more fun when you learn the words to the songs! I would recommend pulling the file down from Mousebits and giving it a whirl!

In my opinion the attration would be much more fun if you could hear the words.

 

[JohnnyDollaz89]

I've seen CBJ everytime i went when i was little, and im sure we will do it again in July when we go

 

[mickey2008.1]

We saw it for the first time last year, and it was the dumbest thing we have ever seen. Clacky bears singing about drinking, shotting, and blood? just absolutely horrible, and to make it even worse, crappy seating.

I, personally, still go to CBJ when visiting the MK. However, my wife REFUSES to enter the building. I love "Blood on the Saddle" and chuckle as Big Al does his thing. My bride can't stand the song and knows I'll be mimicking it for a while as we walk along. Oh well, my gain her loss. :wave:

 

[Little Mermaid]

Definitely a must-do. Love CBJ. My favorites are Little Buford, Swingin' Teddi Barra, and singing "Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier."

And I agree, it's always more fun with audience participation.

Chuck E Cheese meets Disney (or vice versa). It is lame, dated and boring.
However it was wonderful when the kids were little.
