What the *#&@ do the Beach Boys have to do with EPCOT?

Now, don't get me wrong. I loves me some Brian and the boys.

But I also LOVED the ambient music they used to play at the entrance to Future World. It was so. . .futuristic!

Every time we came to and left Epcot we could not figure out why Beach Boys songs and other songs of the 'beach and surf' type theme were playing there. We asked a couple CM's and no one seemed to know but they all seemed to hate it.

One guy just said "It's the official music of Future World." but I think he was being snarky LOL. I don't blame him. If I had to listen to Fun Fun Fun and Surfin' USA on a loop 8 hours a day at turnstiles I'd get snarky too!

So anyone know who made that great decision? I will be mentioning it in my letter to WDW as soon as I am well enough to write it- this WDW gunk I caught is still kicking my keister.

It's not just something they were playing during the flower & garden festival is it? They use a somewhat unofficial "flower child" theme every year for that.

I believe it has to do with F&G Festival because there is a big surfing stitch topiary. Great, the one park I thought was safe from Stitch...

I wonder if the WDW restrooms would be any cleaner with the three sea shells?
