In today's news:

It's A Small World ride breaks down, forces disabled man to listen to that song for 30 minutes

Disneyland has paid disabled man Jose Martinez $8,000. Their crime? Not evacuating him from It's A Small World after the ride broke down in 2009, leaving him listening to that song for half an hour.

The song couldn't be shut off. Most adults are ready to strangle someone after going through the ride at regular speed. Like the song says, "It's a world of hopes, it's a world of fears," and this sounds like it belongs on most of our top fear lists.

(There were other issues noted than just the song, but...)

They give a link to a video and say, "Enjoy the ride through It's A Small World virtually below — feel free to cover your ears at any point." NPR says, "We'll leave you with a video that shows the "small world" ride. To be clear, you cannot sue us if the song gets stuck in your head:"
