"Walkin' Right Down the Middle of Main Street USA" song

I found this post (from the "Ask Dave (the Ultimate Disney Expert)" column of d23.Disney.com) very interesting. I always wondered about the history behind this song (which I also first heard on the Sing Along).

Q: In the Disney Sing Along video Disneyland Fun, there is a song called "Walkin' Right Down the Middle of Main Street, U.S.A." I believe at the end it's credited to Stu Nunnery with a much earlier copyright date than the video. What has this song been used in before the Sing Along?
Craig, Phoenix, Arizona

A: : According to Stu Nunnery on ClassicRockMusicBlog.com: "I wrote words and music to 'Main Street, U.S.A.' in 1978 while writing for a 'jingle house' in New York. Disney bought the song and there was supposed to be a rollout of the song in 1980 when Disneyland was to celebrate its 25th anniversary (1955). The song did not appear publicly until 1985 when Disneyland celebrated its 30th anniversary, and it was sung on a TV special by none other than Marie Osmond and a cast of characters. Since then, the song remains a parade theme at the parks, and is sung by the barbershop a capella groups walking down Main Street at the parks."
