Adding to the DCA soundtrack

[Sorcerer's Apprentice]

How many different songs are there? I'd like to see them add Ventura Highway by America, Route 66 by Nat King Cole, maybe even Hotel California by the Eagles (if that wouldn't be too over the top for a G-rated park)

[aashee]

Hollywood Nights - I Love LA - Do you know the way to San Jose - California Here I come - California Dreamin'

Is that all? It seemed like a short loop, is that all they can afford to buy the rights too? Surely Ariels Grotto should be showing a profit by now.

There's probably a few more songs. California Girls another one. I'm just going by memory.

That's about Cal State Channel Islands. It was at one point a mental instituition...

Can we get some OC punk or... ska or something that was made within blocks from the park?

I vote for Sugar Ray.

[NeverNeverland]

Little Old Lady from Pasadena plays too.

• Hooray for Hollywood
• Route 66

Thanks DT! I knew I was missing half of them.

I vote for Sugar Ray.

I vote for No Doubt's "Tragic Kingdom" or Gwen's "Orange County Girl"

There should also be 2Pac's "To Live & Die in L.A." and "California Love"

Plus Phantom Planet's "California"


But on a serious note, do you think they're going to keep this music loop playing in the plaza after they do the renovations?

[SpectroMan]

I'm sure the loop will be changed when the entrance is redone - many (all?) of those songs didn't exist when the period they're planning to represent did.

Incidentally, do they still play that one song from the DCA album right when the park opens anymore? I haven't been there at opening in years.

[DisneyIPresume]

To you Sugar Ray fans out there, I went to Jr. High and High School with Mark McGrath. We were in the same CCD class for two years. And we went to Knott's twice. To bad I didn't continue after high school -- maybe I wouldn't be stuck sitting in a cubicle all day long.

Anyway some songs that I think that relate to California and that should be added to DCA after the makeover that would be appropriate are:

1. California Here I Come (very appropriate since part of the new DCA is supposed to represent Walt's arrival in California)
2. I Love You California (California's state song)
3. When The Swallows Come Back To Capistrano.
4. Mexicali Rose

Just some songs off the top of my head. Oh -- and no Sugar Ray! :-p
