Can anyone come up with a list of songs that were played in County Fair in 2007? If you can name ones around the park, that's awesome too.

Hi,

Is that the official list of songs? I have a Hurricane Harbor Disk I made so I can listen to it in the car (and wish it was June at the Harbor) when there's ten inches of snow and 10 degree weather!

Besides the songs you listed it also has:

1. "Get Up Stand Up"--Bob Marley
2. "Soak Up The Sun"--Sheryl Crow (New 2007)
3. "Coconut"--Widespread Panic
4. "Jump In The Line"--Harry Belafonte
5. "Changes In Latitudes"--Jimmy Buffet
6. "Grapefruit, Juicy Fruit"--Jimmy Buffet
7. "Day-O Bannana Boat Song"--Harry Belafonte
8. "Hot Hot Hot"--Buster Poindexter
9. "Sloop John B"--Beach Boys (Didn't hear it in 2007)
10. "Blue Hawaii"--Elvis Presley
11. "Kingston Town"--UB40
12. "Cheesburger In Paradise"--Jimmy Buffet
13. "Bahama Mama"--The Hit Crew
14. "Puerto Rican Punch"--The Hit Crew
15. "Tropical Oasis"--The Hit Crew
16. "Five O'Clock Somewhere"--Jimmy Buffet and ? (New in 2007)
17. "Boat Drinks"--Jimmy Buffet
18. "Could You Be Loved"--Bob Marley (Didn't hear it in 2007)
19. "Redemption Song"--Bob Marley (Didn't hear it in 2007)


There are two others that I cannot remember I think one is by Gwen Stefani and one is unknown something about November slippin by Like a spinnin wheel...

IKO IKO is done by The Hit Crew (at least the one at the Harbor) Cyndi Lauper also did it.

Can you tell how much time I spend there? Only 6 Months and two weeks left until Hurricane Harbor opens again!!!

Your list of songs below:

"California Sun" - Dick Dale
"Dont Worry Be Happy" - Bobby McFerrin
"Fun Fun Fun" - Beach Boys
"Iko Iko" - N/A
"Jammin" - Bob Marley
"In the Summertime" - Mungo Jerry
"Kokamo" - Beach Boys
"Margaritaville" - Jimmy Buffet
"Pipeline" - Dick Dale
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" - N/A
"Two Pina Coladas" - Garth Brooks
"Volcano" - Jimmy Buffet
"Wipeout" - Beach Boys

I did feel skeptical about the music change in 2006. Hopefully, the original soundtracks may come back next season.

If that weren't enough, someone on XMfan.com said that the Six Flags park near DC, I think that's Great Adventure, said that the XM channel The Blend played throughout the park. At least I'd rather hear than than Flight 26, XMLM, KISS, or 20 on 20 (sic).

My suggestion: New Music. I got the general theme of decade music for 2006 but last years music was totally god-awful. Let's work on that shall we?

The Original Park Soundtracks are great but outdated. Completely overhaul your music, please SF!

Location: really close to the park!!!!!!!!!

Postby Tip Top Club on December 12th, 2007, 11:59 pm
The park has grown and changed so much since it opened, the Mardi Gras music always felt disjointed from the park, and the other sections music just got boring and repetitive after 30 yrs. It's still good, but I really think the whole sceme needs to be updated. I would love music specifically scored for the park, but I know that's not going to happen anytime soon. What I really think we need from our music is patriotic music. The Park is called great america, and we get further and further from that theme every year. Play the star Spangled banner, america the Beautiful, Stars and Stripes Forever. And then specific music for each section. (Not 90s, 80s, or 70s crap, but real instrumental bgm). That's why I think.

^^^Aye sir! I'm with you. I'd say keep the original bgm soundtracks (uncut) and add some more songs or muzak slated specifically for the seconds, possibly some songs with vocals. But DON'T THROW OUT THE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACKS!

And You misundestand me if you think i hate the original score. I don't I have a CD of it in my car. And I wouldn't mind if some of it was kept in an updated score, but I really think the whole system, and playlists need to be updated.

I know you don't and I don't either.

That's why I said keep all the original songs and add some more to the playlists. Every time I listen to the score it brings back memories.

I'd like to give the thread an awakening by this cd I found that contains the Carousel Plaza soundtrack, YES, THE CAROUSEL PLAZA SOUNDTRACK! It is done by the Wurlitzer Organ and called "Come To The Fair". It'll surely make you reminisce about the days of $0.20-a-gallon gasoline! I thought I'd show it to you.

http://payplay.fm/cometothefair

As for the current park soundtracks, some sections are winners and some are losers. Yankee, Yukon, Hometown, and Orleans got a theming again. Plymouth Place still suffers from a vacant building. County Fair and Main Gate changed their soundtracks for the worse. Carousel Plaza is the section with the patriotic music.

The front gate and County Fair music is horrible. I swear they only have three songs or something for those areas.

I found one of the Mardi Gras midway songs, it's Zydeco Boogaloo by Buckwheat Zydeco.

And does anyone know if they're playing the Carousel Song at open & close anymore? I'm yet to hear it this year.

Does anyone know who really sings that song for Love at First Fright: Brand New Day?
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"

Thanks a lot. I can't believe it's a Michael Jackson song. He must have a choir.

Does anyone know what song this is? They are playing it in the park. Some lady is singing it. It's something like this: No matter what they think I will still love you.
