The Sun Ra version of Zip A Dee Doo Dah is stuck on my brain. It will soon be stuck on yours too. Enjoy.
This is from an album I’m really fond of called Second Star to the Right by Sun Ra and his Intergalaxtic Arkestra. The entire album is a salute to Walt Disney.
And here’s another version altogether, just for fun….
Reminds me a bit of one of the cartoon themes repeatedly covered by jazz musicians: “Meet the Flintstones” (See, e.g. http://www.themusicpage.com/showVideos.php?v=183). Sonny Rollins is famous for slipping in catchy, famous tunes in the middle of his licks.
PS: I caught myself humming Zippity-Do-Da last night.
Whoo hoo!
