The Song That’s Taking Over Oogie Boogie Bash | Swinging Wake

There’s a song playing at Disney California Adventure during Oogie Boogie Bash that you can’t find on Spotify, Apple Music, or anywhere else. In this episode of Area Loop, we dig into “Swinging Wake” -- the original song written for Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake, a Haunted Mansion-themed street party at Oogie Boogie Bash at DCA. The song was written and performed by Brandon C. Rogers (@brandonrogersla), a seasoned Disney songwriter with credits spanning parks on three continents, Disney Channel, Disney+, and more. He was kind enough to tell us about how the song came together -- including that it was basically done on day one. So come along with me while I try to play this song just on bass and sing it at the same time.
