Some music in this playlist did not originate in commercially available sources but has since been issued on the following:

[A] Disneyland Forever

As per the Progressland and sds910 in the Disneyland Forever liner notes: "When the Disneyland-Alweg Monorail System made its debut in 1959, the first tune (a Buddy Baker composition) became its television signature theme - hence the association and the name. It was not used at the park at that time. The second tune was written by George Bruns for the 'Magic Highway U.S.A.' episode and was utilized as background music on the PeopleMover cars between 1967 and 1976. It's likely the DLF producers didn't notice the appearance of 'Nation on Wheels' in this recording."

Notes

Preliminary playlist compiled by SSrustworthy and posted on MouseBits, 09/02/2022. Previous work completed by RocketRodsXPR.

As per SSrustworthy: "It's unclear to me whether this is the full Autopia queue loop, but this is all we have for now, especially since Honda's takeover has introduced new (and arguably less catchy) BGM. Seems like it was always too soft to hear, which is partly why more work hasn't been done on this loop."

Further: "For reference, it seems that the old loop was still in place as of July 2016 (Honda opened their version in June 2016 after refurb started in Jan 2016). It may have been replaced when Asimo and Bird showed up in March of 2017."

[...] I lined up the source video of the billboards with each of these tracks in Audacity, and there's about a 15 second gap between Outdoor Life No. 1 and the Monorail Song. It's unfortunately inaudible to hear if anything is playing due to the announcements, as all audio is turned way down when those play. So I would assume there's a gap, or an extended version of the monorail song, but not enough time for Outdoor Life No. 2 to be played."
