I agree with you. I can’t stand that song.
IMHO, there's a special place in hell reserved for the person who wrote the tune for Disney's Main Street Electrical Parade.
It took me 3 weeks to get that song out of my head.
I'll never forget my first week back after vacation. Back then, I was the anchor man on my bowling team. It was the 10th frame, and I needed a double for the win. I'm set and ready to deliver, then WHAM! That damn song invades my head.
I shook the cobwebs out, but everybody thought it was hilarious. They were all dads too, so they understood my situation.
After visiting Disney World with my young daughter 30 years ago that song still drives me nuts.
I had kind of a funny experience...my wife and I went to DisneyWorld a few years back, and we did the whole place in one day (it was all we had)
We were nearly first in, and they kicked us out of a near empty parking lot. Ever see “Vacation” when the family gets out of the car, looks at the Grand Canyon and says after about two seconds “Okay...let’s go!” well, that was us in DisneyWorld.
One of the rides we went on, almost as a joke, was the “Small World” thing. We found it hilarious, but that insipid song played the whole time, and I thought as we climbed out of the boat “Boy, that was a close thing, I don’t think I could take many more stanzas of it.
As we truned to leave, I realized my sunglasses were missing, and that the case must have fallen out of my pocket into the boat.
I had to wait until that same boat came all the way through again, and I was ready to gouge my eardrums with an ice pick after listening to a “few” more repetitions of the song.
Another time, I was working a summer job at an insurance company, and this guy showing me around says “Watch this” as we approached a large room full of cubicles. As we entered, he began whistling (quietly) “It’s A Small World” as we walked through.
When we got to the other side, he stopped, grinned at me and turned to walk back the way we came.
It sounded like everyone was tunelessly humming the song!
Heck, I don’t wish the guy ill, I’m glad he made something out of it, but I sure don’t care for it.
