ElectroMagic: The Music of the Main Street Electrical Parade

In this episode we explore the illuminating history of Disney's Main Street Electrical Parade and its iconic theme song, "Baroque Hoedown". Created by Gershon Kingsley and Jean-Jacques Perrey in the 1960's, versions of Baroque Hoedown could be found in Walt Disney World's Electrical Water Pageant, Disneyland's failed replacement Light Magic, and the 60th anniversary parade Paint the Night. But the Main Street Electrical Parade remains the fan-favorite as it returns year after year.

Edit: I meant to credit Ken Dresser as the parade's original designer, but misspoke and said Bob Jani instead.
