America Sings is one of my favorite Disneyland attractions. Unfortunately, I can only view it through YouTube. This is ok. I still see the animation, hear the music, and all that good stuff. However, the cameraman could only point in one direction at a time, so you end up watching the show like you're a horse with blinders on. Sometimes you miss out on some good animation that way.
The usual video that I watch- the one that I find the quality to be highest- pans away from the "Sweet Adeline" before the song is over in order too look at the rising Old Grey Mare. It's only the last couple of seconds or so, so I don't really mind.
Today I watched a different video. This one doesn't pan away. I had missed some good stuff !
The main singer of "Sweet Adeline" is a drunken goose in the clutches of a dog policeman. I had always figured that the "hiccup" at the end of the song came from the goose. But nope ! It comes from Officer Dog. On top of that, the look that the goose gives the dog right before the hiccup is priceless. The music has stopped, and the goose just stares open-mouthed at the dog's face. It's frickin' perfect.

I'm very happy to have found this out, but it does make me wonder what else I'm missing from this show. You really miss a lot from only getting the "blinders" view of it.
