Disney Girls (1957)

"Disney Girls (1957)" is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1971 album Surf's Up.

"Disney Girls (1957)" is a nostalgic reflection sung from the viewpoint of a man who rejects reality in favor of the nostalgia he felt towards the fantasy world of the girls in Walt Disney movies and television shows, songs by Patti Page and the days he made wine in his garage, enjoying lemonade in the country shade.

Johnston said that he wrote the song "because I saw so many kids in our audiences being wiped out on drugs" and he had wanted to capture the feeling of an era in which people were "a little naive but a little healthier.

"[3] "Disney Girls (1957)" has proven to be one of Bruce Johnston's most enduring songs, still occasionally performed by the Beach Boys in concert.

It has been covered by many artists, including Art Garfunkel, Cass Elliot, Alexander Rybak, Doris Day, Jack Jones and Captain & Tennille.
