Q: There is a song from Disney, I believe it was at the original Innoventions, where we sat and saw a computer “behind the scenes”. The lyrics to a repetitive portion of the song are “That’s why I’m a rooter of the computer, everybody needs a friend!” I would love to know who is singing that?

A: The attraction in CommuniCore was the Astuter Computer Revue (1982-1984), with the song, “The Computer Song,” which was written by the Sherman Brothers, sung by Ken Jennings portraying Earlie the Pearlie. Jennings was selected for the role after performing Tobias in Sweeney Todd on Broadway.
