Your Heart Will Lead You Home - Matt Land



Today marks two special Winnie the Pooh anniversaries. First, it's the fifth anniversary of Pooh's Heffalump Movie which was released in 2005. Second, today is the tenth anniversary of The Tigger Movie, the first theatrical Pooh sequel movie from 2000!

There are a few important milestones associated with The Tigger Movie. Thoughout the late 80s and all of the 90s, Paul Winchell, the original voice of Tigger, was sharing the role with Jim Cummings. They would alternate episodes in The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and in Seasons for Giving Winchell provided Tigger's voice while Cummings provided Tigger's singing voice. The Tigger Movie is Cumming's first work as the official voice of Tigger. (Cummings had already been the official voice of Winnie the Pooh since 1988).

Also, The Tigger Movie sees the return of the Sherman Brothers who had not worked for Disney in 28 years! The Sherman Brothers wrote all of the music for the original Pooh movies in the 60s, including The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers, which serves as the basis of this movie.

The Shermans co-wrote Your Heart Will Lead You Home with Kenny Loggins which is played over the credits of the movie. It is a fantastic song and one that I hope will become a modern Disney classic, like I'll Try and When She Loved Me.

This song was covered in 2001 by eurobeat artist MATT LAND and can be found on EUROBEAT DISNEY PRESENTS WINNIE THE POOH. As far as eurobeat covers go, this one is pretty good. The quality of the song shines through all the electronic noises.

  Hip Hip Pooh-ray - Domino & Stormy Seven
Today is the 31st anniversary of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, the feature film that took the three Winnie the Pooh short subjects, Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day and Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too, and tied them together in a seamless package.

Today I have chosen to celebrate this anniversary with a song heard at the end of Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day from 1968. Hip Hip Pooh-Ray was sung to Pooh after he 'saved' Piglet from almost certain death and to Piglet after he gave up his home for Owl. It was written by the Sherman Brothers and is one of the lesser known Pooh songs.

In 2000, Eurobeat record label A-Beat-C released a series of Eurobeat Disney albums. The fourth in the series focus on Pooh and featured a few obscure Pooh songs, all by Eurobeat's top talent.

One of most recognized names in the Eurobeat is DOMINO who has recorded a number of Disney songs. Domino, whose real name is Allesandra Mirka Gatti, was part of the duo Dave and Domino with her husband until they divorced in 2004. Together, they were one of the top Eurobeat groups and have made a name for themselves since their split.

Thanks to Jamie for turning me onto this album! He doesn't think it's that great (I do agree that it is super cheesy and can get quite annoying a few songs) but the Eurobeat albums are far greater than any of the American produced Dance remix albums.
