Splash Mountain Deleted Song "Sooner or Later"

- This song, sung by a mother possum and rabbit (respectively) and their babies, was originally supposed to be heard while going up the lift to the final drop. It was replaced with "Burrow's Lament," an ominous version of "Everybody's Got A Laughing Place."
While this song is featured in the Splash Mountain soundtrack's demo tape, I cut this version from the Splash Mountain medley featured on the album A Musical History of Disneyland.
I'm actually not certain if this song was ever used in the ride at all, or was only recorded for the demo tape. If any Disney Parks experts out there know the answer, please tell me in the comments. ^_^
Confirmed -- I rode as a kiddo during the soft open or shortly after opening and this song was present in the burrows with the rabbit and her buns and possum and her babies. When we returned later with the family I *INSISTED* to them that the song in that room had changed but nobody believed me.
Agreed it was a bit too dramatic a tone change before the final lift hill. :)
@Garbage Guy Nope, like I said I was a kid and (back then) didn't have a camcorder. All I know is when I rode it again later and tried to convince my family that song had changed they didn't believe me either. I guess some things never change!
Someone found a video with this song in the ride during the soft opening! It’s on UA-cam currently :)
We now have footage! You can see it at 13:55 of this video: ua-cam.com/video/18XKLsxi4Us/v-deo.html
This is a good song (and a nice homage to Hattie McDaniel's song in the movie "Song of the South") but it's way too hopeful and it gives away the ending. Burrow's Lament is much darker and more foreboding, which increases the intensity as the passengers are being led up the mountain.
I agree. Maybe that’s exactly why they decided to change it
Burrow's Lament suits for the ride's scene because it is heard intimidating compared to Sooner or Later which is rather happy tune.
More like sad tune
Yes Burrow's Lament obeys that hellish part of Splash Mountain ride.
I would put it when you're exciting the ride.
Burrows lament is a metaphor for a bad trip on shoots. The whole ride is really. Have you seen the laughing place? There's huge shrooms with blacklights and neon stuff and everyone is laughing hysterically...my kind of party.
Si solo sí sólo que burrouw's lament es más perturbador
There is a bluegrass version of this song in Magic Kingdom's Splash Mountain queue area and Tokyo Disneyland's Grandma Sara's Kitchen restaurant in Critter Country.
My pet rabbit just died and I'm listening to this to mourn his loss r.i.p Oswald
Like Oswald the Lucky Rabbit! What a coincidence huh?
I'm listening to this because splash mountain's becoming princess ad the frog
Sims 3 Forever Dude yes I named him Oswald as in the lucky rabbit :)
Brer Sam it was intentional hehe
@@LindsaysLifedoge Lmao, interesting
This is nice, but it does nothing to build the tension to the drop. It's too optimistic. I can see why they changed it.
TheHarlequinHatter me too
Agreed
It could work, making the ride more optimistic. Id imagine brer fox carrying brer rabbit or some representation of brer rabbit’s journey up to when youre at the top of chickapin hill
R.I.P. splash mountain
Anyone here since they announced the changing of splash mountains name? So sad they’re getting rid of one of the most iconic mountains in Disney (space, Matterhorn, splash, thunder) but it makes sense. I’ll always miss the ambiance and ride that was splash mountain
It doesn't make sense, there's no mountains in Louisiana.
yep!
@@Sr.BulletBill LMAO, WDW news said the same

I love this song! I wish they woulda kept this and had the scary Burrows Lament Instrumental in the tunnel up to brer foxs lair
While it really does fit and I can see why they would use it for a while, but it completely gives away the ending. Burrow's Lament fits better. It makes you fear for Brer Rabbit, even if you know the outcome already.
That's a thunder in the song sooner or later. ⚡🌩️⛈️🌧️💧🌊
This song is the queue music! I recognized it!
Actually, Sis Rabbit sings Sooner or Later. No wonder she sounds different in Burrows Lament. Burrows Lament stars Mother Rabbit instead of Sis Rabbit.
@Garbage Guy Well... technically, in the final ride, Mother Rabbit has baby rabbits sitting at her table. So they could be her babies. Sis Rabbit probably had babies too because who else could have done the backing vocals?
this is a good song
It doesn't really fit the ominous mood that the lift has, which is most likely why. They probably switched it to give it a bigger fear factor and buildup to the drop. Although I love this song!
Imagine if Randy Newman sang this...
Heheheh...
For some reason I like the demo tape version better..
You can heat a instrumental version in the quque
This is my favorite song in Song of the South :-)
Too bad they got ride of it in the ride
Ik that Disney will not do this but when it’s the last day that splash at Disneyland closes it would be so cool if they played this music before the drop
This song isn't good thank god they changed but my most favorite song is every one got a laughing place
Well, IMO, it IS GOOD, and sorta sweet, but that's the problem. In the context the song was going to be used, it is too nice and sweet and doesn't do the job to anticipate the intimidating drop. I actually like this, just not in the way that it would be in the ride. I was actually singing it all day today cause I just randomly thought of it and got it stuck it my head lol.
This version is on the 50th anniversary edition of the Disneyland Soundtrack
Howdy!!!
I actually prefer this song and wish they kept it
Would the vultures come after this? After the clap of thunder
This sounds like a broadway song for some reason lmao (this whole ordeal actually gives off rare cut broadway song vibes). I prefer this to laughin place reprise though, because it sounds a bit creepy due to how hopeful but sad they sound. I also like the children harmonizing with sis rabbit. Then the scene cuts to the vultures and shows brer rabbit in a sort of hopeless position.
Sounds awesome.
I would put this after the drop
How did u get this ?
Does anyone know where these vocals are from?
This was a song on Splash Mountain? I’ve known about the outdoor variation of this song but I never knew this song was on the actual ride before the one it had when it closed.
This song kinda gives me a timid feel it kinda scares me in a good way
BR,ER FOX HAS WHITE FUR AT DISNEY LAND
They should have moved this after the drop and before zip a dee doo dah.
Creepy
Meh
@Garbage Guy Yes
Yo creo que él quién canta la canción es la mamá conejo porque en una parte de sus crías dicen really mamá
Oh HEEYALL nahh bruh……
Ojalá la ubieran puesto
Según los comentarios, la canción sí se usó por un tiempo (al menos en California) sin embargo como ellos dicen, y comparto, la canción presenta una letra muy optimista para la atmósfera que querían demostrar. Mientras que Burrows Lament transmite dramatismo e inseguridad sobre si El Hermano Rabito va a salvarse, Sooner or Later nos da a entender de forma más explícita la astucia inacabable del conejo, por tanto la historia y el hilo de la atracción contratarían.
Did they take the song Madonna sang in Dick Tracy and changed the words a bit. I mean the song she sang is even called, Sooner or Later.
This is a slightly altered version of the song "Sooner or Later" from "Song of The South" (the movie that Splash Mountain is based on), which came out waaaay before Madonna's song Dick Tracy. The original version from "Song of The South" had nothing to do with Be're Rabbit.
