Today's #BigBand #Standard is definitely the latter. This is the Johnny Mercer 1947 version of Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah featuring the Pied Pipers and the Paul Weston Orchestra, recorded a year after the song was featured in the Disney movie "Song of the South." The movie is one long pejorative, but the song is happy nonsense that had the bad luck of being introduced in the movie. It cheers me on rainy, gray days like today.
To be fair, the then-beloved stories it was based on were one long series of pejorative stereotypes.
