On February 15, Disney released a new CD entitled Disneymania 3, which features 15 well-known Disney songs by current popular artists. Track 7 is our beloved “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah”, performed by Aly & A.J. A sample of the song can be heard at Amazon.com.
In January of 2004, we saw the release of Disneymania 2, which also had a rendition of “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” on it, performed by Stevie Brock. Thanks to “harleymanofutah” of the Song of the South Enthusiasts Group for the news report!
“Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah” is unquestionably Song of the South‘s most enduring tune. It won an Academy Award for Best Song and has always been a mainstay in Disney’s music library. From Big Band to Disco to Pop, the song has been covered by dozens of artists over the decades.
