Today's Rant

Today, i happened upon an old song from my childhood. I found out that it won an Academy Award back in the 40's and is currently played on the Disney ride: Splash Mountain. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have:

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!

My oh my, what a wonderful day!

Welcoming back Brer Rabbit today.

We always knew that he'd get away!

He's had enough of movin' on now.

It's where he's born and bred in.

The briar patch is where he's headin'.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!

Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!

My oh my, what a wonderful day!

Plenty of sunshine heading our way.

We never doubted he'd get away!

Moving on taught him a lesson.

You've learned it well, Brer Rabbit.

Gettin' caught's a nasty habit.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!

Wonderful feeling, feeling this way!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!

It's a time for celebratin' today!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!

Gathered together this wonderful day!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!

Brer Fox and Brer Bear are gonna get it today.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!

That hungry gator's gettin' his way!

Mr. Bluebird on my shoulder.

It's the truth, it's actual.

Everything is satisfactual.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!

Wonderful feelling, wonderful day!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!

My oh my what a wonderful day!

For those of you who don't know, this is from the BANNED Disney movie, The Song of the South. I remember watching this as a child and reading the stories of Uncle Remus, Brer Rabbit and Brer Bear. Disney has not allowed me to purchase in VHS or DVD in the United States of America. The Freest country in the world, and we still ban movies and books. There is something very wrong with that. But, a couple of years ago, i found a copy of the movie on VHS in Canada. That was a happy day. I am glad i now have this momento that i can now show my children. I believe Song of the South is the only movie ever banned from VHS or DVD that won 2 Academy Awards.

If anyone is interested in a website where you can purchase the movie or collectibles, just comment to this post and i'll send it to you.

It's nice outside today. I wish i was outside, shooting some hoops or hitting some golfballs.
