Customer Reviews You can teach a new dog old tricks! Great new arrangements of some of the best Parks music ever! To me Barenaked Ladies and Tim Curry are stand outs. I truly enjoyed this CD. I could have done without The Pointer Sisters doing "Yo Ho" but over all it's still a great listen!!!. Takes Awhile To Sink In In fact, I only recently broke this out after I planned my daughter's first trip to Disney World. This album wasn't in my frequent rotation for a long time. Though I question some of the interpretations on here, especially the Pointer Sisters' version of "Yo Ho," I must admit that this album has really captured my ear. Take 6, Barenaked Ladies and Patti Austin give wonderful performances of their respective songs. They are the highlights of a mostly good album. One song stands apart from the rest. Brian McKnight's stirring rendition of "Remember the Magic" is a moving experience. It alone makes this album worthy of purchase. Overall, this album really is a good purchase. It's perfect for packing your bags for Disney World or just a quiet evening at home. All of these songs are fun, uplifting numbers that will quickly brighten the spark of childhood that all adults have somewhere deep inside of them. Some Great Cuts These are Disney song covers by a variety of artists. If you want the actual music used in the rides and attractions, buy one of the official WDW albums. Etta James makes "It's a Small World" meaningful and beautiful, Tim Curry has his tongue planted firmly in cheek in "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," and Take 6's lush accapella harmonies are outstanding on "When You Wish Upon a Star. " As another reviewer said, David Benoit's "Spectromagic Medley" shimmers like the parade itself. Linda Rondstadt and Olivia Newton-John sing pretty straight-forward versions of familiar tunes, and Brian McKnight's sentimental "Remember the Magic," used in Disney World advertising, might bring a tear to your eye. .
