I did a quick look at the multiple threads but didn't see it.  Assumed someone would have made a separate thread for this gem.

I wonder if his version of When You Wish Upon A Star will sound like Surfer Girl? 

I'm not sure if it's Disney, but am I the only one here who thinks Brian and his band would do a great version of the Peter and The Wolf theme?

Page 6 of the In The Key Of Disney thread has a link to the song and the tracklist was posted in the same thread somewhere else.

Wow, thanks, all has been revealed.

Talking with a mutual friend when the album was first announced, we made our preferred tracklists, and one of my wants was for "Wish..." with the "Surfer Girl" middle-eight: if that happens, you know who to thank. 

My #1 preferred track was "Little April Showers". Oh well... ITKOD Vol 2, anyone ?

I gotta admit, I wasn't expecting this kind of creative interpretation. Really a delight!  Yes, let's have a volume 2!

[Jay]

Personally, I'd like to hear Brian bang out Loudly The Bell In The Old Tower Rings on the piano. 

Let's see how many people get that reference. 

[Ron]

....cricket.                 ....cricket.

Wondering if Van Dyke got to play piano again on "Bare Necessities"...

I can't BELIEVE they didn't do Little April Showers. I know it's the first thing many of us thought of when we heard the announcement....

Apparently you can't have a modern day Brian record without an overload of bass harmonica!

I can't get any clear answers either on whether this is at Brian's insistence or the Mertens / Foskett band attempt at recreating the classic mid60s BW sound. Not just the bass harmonica but the whole attempt at getting his old sound. Brian was progressing and evolving up until he started with his current band. Then it got stale.

If they're going to copy Brian's old sound they might as well get some Moogs in there.

That's not Brian's fault though.  He's just a sweet guy and can't say "no".  I mean hell, you hire a bass harmonica player, and you never hear the end of it.

"Brian! Brian! Can I play? Brian are you going to let me play?"

"Yes Pete, you can play the f&*cking harmonica.  Again.  "

[Wirestone]

Brian was progressing and evolving up until he started with his current band. Then it got stale.

More accurately, Brian was not writing, recording or appearing regularly until he started with his current band. That throwback sound was arrived at because it's what he responds to -- Darian has been extremely specific on this point.

[Ron]

Exactly, I don't understand the criticism levied at the band so often.  The only reason Brian's even touring is because of that band.  His music is timeless, he's going to record his music until he dies with that same sound.  The stuff on "Imagination", and other albums with the more 'contemporary' sound are dated and will die with Brian.  The 'wrecking crew' sound he uses now, and used back in the day, will live on and on.

Hunchback of Notre Dame? I love Alan Menken's work btw.

Hellfire!

I actually didn't know what it was from. I've only heard what you hear in the first 15 or so seconds of this cartoon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDwSDcbHMrM

Kind of an odd choice to preview the album off; I didn't even hear Brian on this track.

[TdHabib]

Awesomeman, I'm pretty sure he's the first "heigh, ho" you hear.

And Jay, I was thinking of this, which, while Beauty and The Beast, Lion King, Snow White and Fantasia are my fave Disney films, is probably the best opening to a Disney film ever:

Funnily enough I just watched this very clip about two minutes ago.  I typed in "loudly the bell in the old tower rings" to try to identify the song in that Mickey cartoon, and that clip came up.

It would be interesting if Brian ever tried some symphonic/operatic styled music.
