Blake has been letting us have some fun with the audio as he repograms the bird's mouths to open and close at the right time. He has been bringing in other audio to entertain us while we work away up on our ladders (in their booties), and has been amusing us by making the bird's mouths move to such classics as Kool and the Gang's "Celebration", Queen's "Fat Bottom Girls" and various other hilarious things that look rather ironic coming out of animatronic bird mouths. He even lets us play with the toggle control and make the bird's mouths move to the music manually. TikiCutie Laura A possible Christmas overlay to the ETR? Having Fritz doing an imitation of Der Bingle's "White Christmas" while Jose whistles along? The girls singing along to the Phil Spector "Wall O'Sound" version of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland"? All the birds wearing tiny santa hats & the flowers in scarves? Snow drifts against the drumming Tikis? I'm certain an Imagineer could come up with better than I, but this would give Adventureland a themic tie-in to with the Haunted Mansion/Small World/Main Street Christmas overlays.
