The National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress has announced their song additions for the Class of 2022, and among the songs is the classic Disney earworm you can’t get out of your head, “it’s a small world.”
What’s Happening:

“it’s a small world” was first heard at the 1964-1965 World’s Fair, the theme of which was “Peace Through Understanding.” The ride was later reconstructed at Disneyland, then recreated at other Disney parks worldwide.
- The song was written by legendary songwriters Richard and Robert Sherman, and has been delighting families for nearly 60 years.
- You can find versions of “it’s a small world” at all of the Castle parks worldwide, except for Shanghai Disneyland.
