Review by Piyusha Verma

Alright, let’s dive into this quirky little gem of an album—Walt Disney's Sommer Hits by Various. Released way back in 1988 in Austria (yep, the land of schnitzel and soundofmusic vibes), it’s a wild mashup of electronic disco tunes that somehow works. Like, who thought Mickey Mouse and pulsing synth beats were a match made in heaven? But here we are. The album’s got some real bangers, but two tracks stuck with me like gum on a hot sidewalk: “Disco Mickey Mouse” and “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah.” Let me tell ya why. First up, “Disco Mickey Mouse.” I mean, c’mon—it’s exactly what you think it is. Imagine walking into a neon-lit roller rink in the '80s, except instead of some random diva belting out lyrics, it’s Mickey himself keeping the party alive. The beat slaps hard enough to make you wanna bust out your cheesiest dance moves, and there’s something oddly charming about hearing Disney iconography get the full-on disco treatment. It’s ridiculous, sure, but also kinda genius. You can’t help but smile when that bassline kicks in. Then there’s “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,” which flips the old-school Disney classic into a groovy anthem for summer road trips—or maybe just wandering around Vienna in shades pretending you’re cool. They kept the cheerful vibe of the original but cranked up the synths so it feels fresh without losing its nostalgic charm. Honestly, if they played this version at theme parks today, people would lose their minds. It’s one of those songs where you forget you’re listening to something from a kids' movie because it just works as a dance track. Other tracks like “Macho Duck” and “Watch Out For Goofy!” are fun too, though honestly, after hearing Donald Duck try to flex his macho side over a funky beat, my brain needed a minute to recover. And don’t even get me started on “It’s A Small World”—yes, THAT song—but remixed into a thumping club jam. Love it or hate it, it’ll be stuck in your head for days. What’s wild about this whole thing is how unapologetically weird it is. Like, who greenlit this project? Was someone at Disneyland Austria just like, “You know what the world needs? Mickey Mouse singing over drum machines”? Whoever it was, bless ‘em. This album shouldn’t work, but it does. Maybe not everyone will dig it, but if you’ve got a soft spot for retro kitsch and love seeing beloved characters repurposed in bonkers ways, you’ll have a blast. So yeah, Walt Disney's Sommer Hits isn’t gonna change your life or anything, but it’s a fun little time capsule of late ‘80s creativity. Plus, it makes me wonder…does Mickey still have those dance moves?
