World of Weird Al Yankovic

Hey, new to this site and was wondering about this show. I heard that Al did a couple of other songs just after "Skipper Dan" or perhaps during the chant, they were "Tennessee, the Moon, and You" and the "All-purpose Theme Song" both of which were performed at the now defunct Adventurers Club at Pleasure Island, Walt Disney World. My wife and I are both huge Disney and and AL fans, we saw Al in St Charles August 2008, just over a month before our wedding, and then spent two weeks at Disney World for our Honeymoon, during which many of the nights were spent at the AC. Hearing Al pay homage to this little treasure that Disney closed would be incredible. I would also like to know if he did this at any other shows, as well as if I might be able to catch it on his next tour. Thank you so much for your time.

I did not attend this show, but others that did have already posted their reviews of this show on previous pages. No one mentioned Al adding these songs to his set, so I would say your information is incorrect.

Al DOES have some lines from other classic Disneyland attractions in the Yoda Chant, however. He has included parts of the songs from The Enchanted Tiki Room, as well as The Haunted Mansion.

Yeah, WDW, you have some incorrect information there. Although, I really do enjoy the Disney songs that Al did incorporate into the show. I love going to Haunted Mansion and hearing the theme song now. As well as I did, seeing that in the Yoda chant each night. I don't think there is anything from the Tiki room? Although, I know Al did say that it was one of Nina's favorite attractions. Also, loved the performance of Skipper Dan. With the story of how Al secured a real Skipper's costume for it. Very well-done performance with video, the Skipper mic, and costume.

Let me rephrase that...

In the Yoda Chant, Al uses part of "Hawaiian War Chant," which has also been a part of the Enchanted Tiki Room song since the attraction opened in 1963. You can hear it for yourself here, starting around 1:27.

The song was not created by Disney; it is actually about 150 years old.

I don't know if Al's inspiration for using the song in the Yoda Chant actually came from hearing it at Disney or not. The Hawaiian War Chant has been recorded by many artists, from Tommy Dorsey to Spike Jones to the Muppets.

Thanks for the info y'all, I really appreciate the responses to such an old thread.

Oh, wow...I learned something new NH! I always just knew that that was the Hawaiian War Chant. Never anything about what it's story is. I've never been to the Tiki Room, even though, I've been to Disney a lot. Cool that that's featured in there, as well as the rest of the background of the song.
