History YMMV / AmericaSings

* UnfortunateImplications: In Act 2, the dog who sang "Who Shot the Hole in My Sombrero?" had a Mexican accent. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en6War0pFs0&t=5m02s Complaints ensued that it was offensive]] and the accent was changed to a Texan one.

* NeverLiveItDown: Unless you're a big fan of the Disney theme parks, you probably know this ride as either "that ride whose animatronics went to ''Ride/SplashMountain'' later" or "that ride that killed an employee".

* BrokenBase: Visitors who've looked back on ''America Sings'' have mixed opinions about it. There are those who remember it fondly for being a fun-filled romp chronicling the history of American music. Then there are those who felt it was kitschy and a poor fit for Disneyland, especially considering it was based in Tomorrowland. And this isn't getting into the Deborah Gail Stone incident.

* NeverLiveItDown: Unfortunately, unless you're a pretty big theme park fan, you probably either know this ride as "that ride that had animatronics that went to ''Ride/SplashMountain'' later" or "that ride that killed an employee".
* OvershadowedByControversy: If this ride was before your time, chances are, you know about it because of the tragic death of [[https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/america-screams/ Deborah Gail Stone]], a 18-year old employee who was crushed between two of the walls of the moving theater. Although new safety precautions were installed immediately after the incident, the ride was never able to fully get out from under that story. This [[https://youtu.be/en6War0pFs0 video]] by ''WebVideo/{{Defunctland}}'' goes into detail about the tragedy.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Sort of - if you've been on ''Splash Mountain'' before finding out about this attraction, you'll probably recognize which characters made it into that ride. People have compiled lists online, in fact.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: ''America Sings'' had a patriotic theme which chronicled the history of music in America, and it had a brightly decorated exterior with red, white and blue paint. Those factors alone made it a product of the mid-70s Bicentennial celebration era.

* VindicatedByHistory: See NeverLiveItDown. While the ride itself is doomed to be OvershadowedByControversy, the animatronics would be able to disassociate themselves from the ride after being [[PropRecycling reused]] in the significantly more successful ''Ride/SplashMountain'' (that ride's [[Film/SongOfTheSouth own controversy]] notwithstanding).

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Pretty much all of the songs, honestly.

** Is that a donkey or a mule that Sam and Ollie are riding during the Deep South scene? What about the donkey who serves as the mount of the dog that sings "Who Shot the Hole in My Sombrero?"?
