"Minnie's Yoo Hoo" is a song introduced in the 1929 Mickey Mouse cartoon Mickey's Follies . [1] The song was composed by Walt Disney and Carl Stalling. [2] It was the first Disney song to be released on sheet music. [2]

The song, sung by Mickey Mouse, praises his girlfriend Minnie, accompanied by other animals. [1] In Mickey's Follies, Mickey's singing voice was provided by an anonymous studio employee; in the early days, Walt Disney was not yet the exclusive voice for Mickey. [3]

An instrumental version was used as the opening theme song for all of the Mickey Mouse cartoons from The Jazz Fool (1929) to Mickey's Steam Roller (1934), [4] and was also used as the theme song of the original 1930s Mickey Mouse Clubs in theaters. [2] The song has been popular on records. [1]

It was played over the credits to Disney's 1972 television series The Mouse Factory , and was also used as the theme song of Don Ramón in El Chavo del Ocho and sketch of Chómpiras in Los Caquitos .

As of January 1, 2025, the song has fallen into the public domain.
