The Carousel of Progress has Walt's Personal Theme Song | There's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow

There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day... but did you know The Sherman Brothers considered this Walt's personal theme song? This episode we're diving into "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow," the Sherman Brothers GE "jingle" that's the heartbeat of Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress from the 1964 New York World's Fair. We cover the origin of the rotating theater itself, why the Shermans considered this Walt's personal theme song, the song that quietly replaced it for twenty years, the third song that never made the cut, and why a lyric with zero specific technology in it turned out to be the most future-proof songwriting Disney ever did. Follow along on bass as we break down the structure of the song and why it was built to be interrupted. If you like ride songs, theme park history, and deep dives into the music nobody else is covering, give it the 'ol like and subscribe, and I'll see you at the next loop.
