The song ‘Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah’ came from Disney’s live action film Song of the South. It was made in 1946.
When the film came out, it was an instant success. It was Disney’s first feature-length live action movie that blended live action with animation, and audiences were amazed at Disney’s technical achievements.
The song “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” won the 1948 Academy Award for “Best Original Song” and actor James Baskett received an Academy Honorary Award for his performance as Uncle Remus.
In 1986, for its 40th anniversary, the movie was re-released in theaters. That was the last theatrical re-release of the movie.
Since that re-release, the film has attracted controversy from various groups, who claim that the portrayal of African Americans and plantation life in the movie was racist.
In 2010, Disney CEO Bob Iger stated that Disney had no plans to release the film on DVD, calling the film “antiquated” and “fairly offensive.”
Yet in their theme parks the attraction Splash Mountain featuring the cartoon characters from the movie and the Academy Award winning song were somehow sparred until recently, when the woke mob decided that they too are “offensive” and must be banned. Splash Mountain is set to be torn down, and the song will no longer be played in the theme parks.
Yes, the happy go lucky, feel-good song, Zip-A-Dee-Doo Dah will no longer be played in any of Disney’s theme parks.
Are you offended by the song Zip-A-Dee-Doo Dah?
It was a song that I memorized as a young child and has been one of my all-time favorites… and most likely yours too.
Who could be offended by these lyrics?
“Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh, my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine headin’ my way
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!
Mister Bluebird’s on my shoulder
It’s the truth, it’s “actch’ll”
Everything is “satisfactch’ll”
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!”
But in honor of good music, and against the wokeness and hypocritical hatred that Disney is displaying, here is the song so you can hear it before it’s banned from the internet forever…
