I want to make a mix CD loosely based around the theme of the 1964 World's Fair. Trouble: I can't think of enough songs. This is all I have so far:
-"There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow", Richard & Robert Sherman (with Walt Disney) - this is the only perfect one, because it's the theme for Disney's "Carousel of Progress", which was created for the World's Fair. Better this than "It's a Small World After All", which doesn't belong on any mix CD. -"Fifty Years After the Fair", Aimee Mann - About the '39 World's Fair, but close enough. -"Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard", Paul Simon - There's a lot of stuff about the Queen of Corona, and it reminds me of the time my mom first took me to Corona Park to see the old fair site, and also to look for Tony, the Lemon-Ice King of Corona. (Who wasn't there.) -"Ana Ng", TMBG - There's a reference. And that's all's I got. Any suggestions? |
