Maybe it is just me, but every time Impressions of France starts to play, my first thought is "Oh, it's Beauty and the Beast." Is there anyone besides me who thinks the opening is similar to the opening music of Beauty and the Beast?

Or maybe I am just crazy? Embarassed Smile

Every time I hear it I think, "I hate the French. They don't like us, so I don't like them."

That's my impression of France.

You're right. Claude Debussy is FAMOUS for stealing from Menken.

Wait, you mean the other way around right? Claude Debussy was around in the 1800's. Alan Menken was around in the late 1900's. By the way, Claire de Lune, one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever.

Clair de Lune! I think I had her as a teacher in grade school. We used to call her "Green hair Caire" because she had some kind of thing that made her hair have a greenish tinge. She claimed it was the local water.

Considering how much time we all spend here...I think "crazy" is a prerequisite...

There are some advantages to being crazy. When you do something odd you get a whole lot less strange looks. You can also get away with a lot more...

You know what that opening music really is from? Listen to the Space Mountain music. The old one from the 90's. The one with electric guitar, tis the same thing (except converted into Rock format)
