The Country Bear Jamboree is a "hoedown" style show that features almost constant singing. The show takes place on five stages: a far right, a center right, a center, a center left and a far left. The dialogue between three mounted animal heads on the wall: Buff (a buffalo), Melvin (a moose) and Max (a deer) begins the show.
From 1971-2012 the following songs were included in the Country Bear Jamboree:
===Fractured Folk Song===

This number began after the Bear Band Serenade when the curtain closed on the Five Bear Rugs and Gomer. Wendell (a golden brown bear) would then emerge on the center stage. Wendell wore a blue bandanna around his neck and had a light brown hat. He was also easily recognizable because of his large overbite and buck teeth.
*The 2000 movie The Country Bears was based on the Country Bear Jamboree attraction <ref> http://www.wdwradio.com/2007/09/country-bear-jamboree/ </ref>.
 
* On October 10, 1985, Disney had a meeting with McDonald's to pitch the idea of the hamburger giant sponsoring the soon to be built [[Splash Mountain]]. At this time, either in addition to, or instead of Splash Mountain, Disney also offered McDonald's the chance to sponsor the upcoming "On Vacation with the Country Bears" show. The new version of the classic attraction would eventually open as the "Country Bear Vacation Hoedown" without McDonald's as a sponsor.
