The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room - Hilary Duff
I know this is the moment most of you have been waiting for! A Hilary Duff cover song! Wait...you weren't waiting for this? Oh well, you get it anyway. I chose this cover of Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room for linklewtt who requested a cover of a Disneyland attraction (I don't know if he's a Duff fan).

But rather than talk about HILARY DUFF, I'd rather talk about the Enchanted Tiki Room and its theme song.

Living on the west coast I don't get out to Florida much. But last year I got the privilege of spending a week at Walt Disney World. I have seen the Enchanted Tiki Room show at Disneyland a few times but never have I seen the Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management)! I was ready to be treated to something new and something that brings together two cool Disney characters, Iago and Zazu!

I thought the show was very well done, keeping in the character of the original show but adding funny commentary from the two birds who are now the owners of the show. I know many people think of this show as an abomination and that nothing should have been changed, but please remember that Walt Disney always wanted the Disney theme parks to be constantly changing, for new ideas to be brought to life and for people to have a different experience every time they entered the gates. Plus, the attraction is still the same at Disneyland.

The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room, which was written by the Sherman Brothers in 1963 was the first song ever written for an Audio-Animatronic attraction. Which makes sense since Audio-Anamatronics was invented and patented by Walt Disney Imagineering and the Enchanted Tiki Room was the first attraction to feature the new technology.
