I was listening online to one of the songs on Disneymania 4. ::dodges snowballs::

I haven't bought it yet, I just wanted to listen to see if it was any good. I'm sure at least one of you has heard about Orlando Brown's rap (gasp! Laughing

) Super Cali. Kids that I've talked to seem to really like it, except for the ones that don't like disney in general.

I wanted to buy Disneymania 4 because it has a Pirates of the Caribbean song in it. (Pirates Life For Me)

The reason I like Super Cali is because as cheesy as it is, Orlando speaks the truth! Laughing

It's about how Disney helps kids to stay young in a world where kids are growing up too quickly. And it says that even though people might think you're crazy for loving Disney so much it doesn't matter because Disney is going to be around forever.

Well, you know how rap is like. Most of the time, the rappers sound really arrogant telling people that they're the best and that they have the bling to prove it. This song is like that, but I wouldn't call it arrogance, I'd call it confidence! Laughing

At the beginning of the rap, you hear Mary Poppins singing the original Super Cali. You can barely hear him over Mary singing, but if you listen closely, you hear Orlando Brown saying "What? Now I know y'all ain't really listening to this..." Kind of like how peope say, "What?? Now I know you're not really watching a Disney Cartoon!"

The lyrics say, "Hiding on a plane. And your loved ones might think you're insane. But the fact still remains. You're in your own lane on a positive train, on your way to DisneyWorld to ease pain. This ain't no game. The word supercali alone gon' be around til light years rain." You can't lie and say you can't relate to this! Laughing

He mentions the word Disney and Walt a few times and suggests more or less that without them, the world would be nothing.

Word to Mickey! Laughing

....you actually listened to that song all the way through? I refuse. Just seeing the title "Super Cali" was enough for me Laughing

Yep. Perhaps they wanted to write down the full title of the song but didn't know how to spell it. It seems plausible, since the marketing team is always mixing up Disneyworld and Disneyland. Laughing

I don't see why. I mean, they're on opposite sides of the country Laughing
