Um, wow.
Um, wow. They are playing Zipadeedoodah at the airport Starbucks/food court. Apparently, as part of a sort of 40's era mix. Since it's from a movie that is very fantasy Reconstruction period, and considered racist, I'm surprised.

That song is now looping in my head. #earworm
ReplyDeleteMost people don't know the movie though. They know it is Disney, but can't tell you exactly where it comes from. That song alone is catchy and happy without the other context. And now I am earwormed too. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the worms. The song is sung by a 'happy' (former?) slave on a plantation, to the child of the owner. It is a cheerful song, but that context makes it difficult for me.
ReplyDeleteThe context is very troubling. But it isn't widely known.
ReplyDeleteThat's why Song of the South is completely unavailable for purchase, even to study the history of either racism or the Disney Company, but the song devoid of context gets used in Disney properties like the Mickey Mouse Club and other selection-thingies on a fairly regular basis.
