The Sherman Brothers
The first batch of Disneyland attractions were largely based on Disney animated films and so no original music was needed, but beginning in the 1960s, we saw a collection of completely “original” attractions, including those designed by Walt Disney Imagineering for the 1964 New York World’s Fair. Prior to the fair, Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room first introduced the public to the concept of audio animatronics, and one of the best ways to do that was to get the robotic birds singing. The Sherman Brothers, Walt Disney Pictures’ staff song writers, composed “The Tiki, Tiki,Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room,” which might not have the most creative title in the world, but it’s an incredibly catchy and well written song.
