Try having been trapped on the Small World ride at DisneyWorld for 30 minutes with that song playing over and over and… I have no idea why they wouldn’t turn it off, nor why they wouldn’t let us out. I can only believe it implanted some secret sleeper codes in my subconscious that are just waiting to activate.

Hey – no Russian children in this clip! Oh yeah – Walt Disney hated the commies!

Kale, the clip you posted… blew my mind.

I’ve never been to Disneyland, despite having lived in LA for almost 3 years now. That’ll be fixed soon. I have to go on this ride!

I went to Disneyland (mostly to LA to visit my cousins) when I was in 6th grade, + my 3-year-old cousin Sara told us over + over again “Sara like small world!” And when I got on there I was vaguely annoyed, but mostly I found it confusing. And when we got back to Sara’s house? All she wanted to do was talk about that one ride.

That was also the vacation when all of my 13-year-old career goals of Paleontology were flushed down the proverbial toilet when I found out just how fucking disappointing the LaBrea tar pits are.

As a wee git growing up in SoCal, I endured this iterative nightmare many, many times. I remember being all-too-eager to enter the scary-ass Haunted Mansion, but sobbing and struggling violently when it was time to visit the Small World ride.

Gooby, I can’t wait to see the The Boys! It sounds like an incredible documentary.

I hate you, Ross, and clearly you hate us all too.

(Thanks, this was an amusing blast from the depraved past)

I LUV its a small world!!!!

As a child I thought it was boring, and, as talked about in the recent Sherman Bros. documentary, The Boys, the song drills itself slowly into the front of your skull- and probably caused scars that are the source of my adulthood migraines.

But now…

Man, Its so much fun!! I love Mary Blair’s designs, I love the colors, I love that freakin hyena! And the song (written by brothers named Bob and Dick.. heh..) has crossed from annoying, to ironic joy, passed guilty pleasure and straight to plain out “Sing along with Mitch” kind of enjoyment!

As for the rest of your misanthropic gesture, I’m with ya! My office seems to have become some sort of submarine, and since my muscles have atrophied due to lack of activity and all the calcium redistributed itself from my body into my head, I can no longer twist the door lock to get back to the surface.

But its ok, cuz last I looked, the sun was very bright and threw way too much deadly radiation my way, and people were boring and smelly.

Anyone else think it kind of strange that the music for Africa was, what would have been considered, American black music?
