Wagner during his search for the theme to be used in the Main Street Electrical Parade, decided to listen to Perrey and Kingsley's "Kaleidoscopic Vibrations" (1967), and after a while he came across "Baroque Hoedown", which was chosen due to its ideal tempo for the parade choreography The Electrical Parade was originally created for Disneyland, debuting on June 17, 1972, and running there until November 25, 1996.
