"One Little Spark" is a song written by the prolific brother songwriting team, the Sherman Brothers, for the Journey Into Imagination attraction at the Disney theme park Epcot.
The Sherman Brothers claim that they were directly inspired to write the song by Walt Disney's cheerful and creative outlook on both life and work. Within the Walt Disney Imagineering department of The Walt Disney Company, the song is regarded as the unofficial theme for their company - the Imagineers are the employees of Disney who design, create and build the Disney theme parks all over the globe, and the song directly links into the power of imagination, which is vital to the creativity that Disney theme parks are known for.
[edit] Trivia
Ironically, this song became an unofficial theme song for both Disney's Imagineers as well as for Epcot Center whereas the song specifically commissioned to be a park theme song, "The World Showcase March" (also written by the Sherman Brothers) has subsequently faded into obscurity. Both songs were written in 1982.
