Mickey Mouse March

"Mickey Mouse March" is the theme song for Mickey Mouse Club, a children's television series that originally ran from 1955 to 1959 on ABC. It has since become the official theme song of Mickey Mouse and can be heard in many Disney productions. The song was reprised with the slower "Now it's time to say goodbye" verse and different lyrics at the end of each episode that became the show's alma mater. The song remains popular as a children's music standard.
The song was written by the Mickey Mouse Club host Jimmie Dodd. It was published by Hal Leonard Corporation, July 1, 1955. Dodd wrote other songs used over the course of the series. Dodd was a guitarist and musician hired by Walt Disney as a songwriter. Dodd also wrote the "theme day" songs accompanying it on the show.

==Trivia==
*Scrooge McDuck makes his animated debut in the theme song, popping out of the Big Bad Wolf's hat, with Abner Countrymouse popping out of his hat, followed by Jiminy Cricket.
*In the Wonderful World of Color episode, "In Shape with Von Drake", Ludwig von Drake does a variation of the song while wearing a dumbbell like a mouse hat. ("L-U-D... W-I-G... von D-R-A-K-E!")
*In the Kingdom Hearts series, the song is the theme music for the world Disney Castle.
*In The Prince and the Pauper, the Weasels singing a version of the song about Captain Pete.
*Former Lizzie McGuire star Hilary Duff covered "Mickey Mouse March" for the 2008 Disney Mobile Cell Phone commercial. The commercial has only aired in Japan.
*A shortened version of the song is included in Disney On Ice.
*In Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers, after Pete kidnaps Mickey and takes him to his dungeon, he mockingly sings the line "Hey there! Hi there! Ho there! You're as welcome as can be!" Coincidentally, in the original theme song, Pete himself is shown singing with Horace Horsecollar. The song is even credited in the film's credits because of this one line.
*In the PlayStation 2 video game, Disney Golf, an instrumental rendition of the Mickey Mouse March can be heard on all 18 holes featured in the American Course.
*The reprise version was heard when the happy, blissful version of Donald sings to Mickey from the episode "Split Decision" in the Mickey Mouse television series.
*In Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Mickey and his friends sing the song in the episode "Donald's Hiccups" on Clarabelle's TV Show. Before they did, they practiced the singing in the beginning of the episode.
*In Mickey Mouse Mixed-Up Adventures, part of the line "Hey there! Hi there! Ho there! You're as welcome as can be!" was said during Mickey and Jiminy Johnson's secret handshake in the episode "Mickey's Wild Tire!".
*A distorted and slightly out-of-tune version of the tune can be heard in the Wii game Epic Mickey. It occasionally plays in the background during Mickey's visit to Mickeyjunk Mountain. The music in this area can vary depending on the player's moral choices, so the jingle only tends to play if the player made good choices before getting to this area of the game.
*The song is featured in the ending of the movie as American Marines return to base after fighting the Vietnamese at the Battle of Huế.
*Along with many other aspects of the Mickey Mouse Club, the song was parodied in one episode of Muppets Tonight hosted by Cindy Crawford. With lyrics that went:
Frogketeers
♪ Who's the president of our society that's here for you and me?
♪ K-E-R…
Kermit
Are we having fun yet?
Frogketeers
♪ M-I-T…
Kermit
That's a swell university.
Frogketeers
♪ F-R-O-O-G!
♪ Kermit Frog…
Kermit
Where's the THE?
Frogketeers
♪ Kermit Frog… 
Kermit
Where's the THE?
Frogketeers
♪ Forever leave our throats expanding proud …
*The sheet music version for the Mickey Mouse March contains several unused interludes that were left unused besides the first four interludes with ten unused verses not used in any media, labeling them as interludes 5 to 14 respectively:
We have fun and we play safely
Look both ways when you cross crossings
Don't take chances! Play with safety
When you ride your bike be careful
Play a little, work a little
Sing a song while you are working!
It will make your burden lighter
Do a good turn for your neighbor
You can learn things while you're playing
It's a lot of fun to learn things
