I saw, for the first time, A Bug's Life at the Animal Kingdom. While I DISPISE the bug version of Beauty and the Beast... I loved all the versions of musical songs you hear in the queue before you enter the theatre!
Does anyone have a list of these songs and know if any copies are floating around for collection?

BTW- I wasn't expecting much from this show, but I have to admit... I really liked it! That stinger made me jump right out of my seat!

For some reason, Beauty and the Bees seems to be the only one that gets commercially released, a typically frustrating situation for those of us who enjoy the park music. Time and again we are given the same tracks. End of rant :)

I don't remember all the songs, but weren't most of them from (non-Disney) popular broadway shows? Another licensing problem.

I was just about to create a similar topic myself. So the loop is only those 6 songs? If it is, that's good to know.

On a side note, can anybody name all of the shows that have posters in the "lobby"? I can only remember "Beauty and the Bees" and "Antie"...what are the others? I know they used "West Side Story" and a few others, but I can't remember the parodied titles.

Isn't it "Web Side Story"?

And I think "A Cockroach Line" is also used.

I'm also a big fan of this loop - it cracks me up everytime!

Oh yes, thanks, Jessica! I do remember those now.

I like this loop too because you can just tell it was a fun, sillyl thing to do and it works.
 
Who ever said the "Beauty and the Bees" is the only song released, is wrong. The 2003 WDW has "Beauty and the Bees" & "It's Tough To Be A Bug" on it.

I love this queue music too! I was happy that at least we got "Beauty and the Bees." When I thought about why we haven't been offered the other great songs I believe its because Disney only owns the right to "Beauty and the Bees" and would have to pay the owners of the other pieces to release them. I won't rant here but we all know how !#**!?* :-X cheap the Walt Disney company is. I don't ever expect to get a release of these parodies unless someone smuggles a recording out. Or maybe if we can finally get rid of Eisner and install someone who knows something about entertainment.............
 
what me???

I'm just stating the facts. I probably wouldnt wait around on this one for Disney to release it. ;D

I'm sure others can back me up on that one.

All you have to do is take a tape recorder or even a video camera, find a speaker in the preshow area and record the tracks. It is not practical for Disney to release material like Tough to be a Bug and Paradise Pier on CD, the prices would jump because of royalties!
