(Unfortunately, "DSAS: Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" is no longer in my DSAS collection, because my 1991 VHS copy of that one got eaten in my Sharp VCR at the end of the "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" sing-along and I had to throw it away)

Here are the following Disney's Sing-Along Songs tapes that I own as of right now:
== Post-2000 releases of pre-2000 titles ==
Can we include something about the post-2000 re-prints of the pre-2000 titles? These releases had a loop hole on the bottom of the case spine(s), which Disney initially used on their VHS slip-covers from 1986-1987 but did not use again until 2000. Besides, as of right now I happen to own a 2000 copy of Disneyland Fun (although the print date on the copy I own was April 11, 2001). I've also seen 2000 copies of "The Bare Necessities." I am trying to find out when in 2000 Disney returned to using these cover loop holes.
Thank you in advance.

:'''Disney's Sing-Along Songs: Fun with Music''' (1989) - 1991 VHS release
It is rumored that The Walt Disney Company (formerly Walt Disney Productions) has no copyright attached to this song, but they actually do. The original registration was given the code EU0000793673 and its renewal in 1991 was given the code RE0000548478.

No big number on the far left. Print/press date: October 13, 1995. I can't remember exactly what the codes on the vertical interval said at the beginning (and presumably the end) of the tape, but I do remember that the codes were scrolling and said "FUN/W/MUSIC", followed by "SUB#" and a number, and then a date which was August 29, 1995 (possibly implying when the master tape was copied), followed by the tape speed initialism "SP", and I think "WD" or something like that.
* "BVHV" engraved on the right side of the cassette shell in orange.
