Winnie the Pooh (song)

"Winnie the Pooh" is the opening song and theme for the 1966 featurette film Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, and eventually, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. It was also used as background music in the Kingdom Hearts series as background music and rearranged in Welcome to Pooh Corner with different lyrics. It was written and composed by the Sherman Brothers and performed by the Disney Studio Chorus, who had written a number of Pooh songs.

The song was included on the VHS Disney Sing Along Songs: The Bare Necessities and Sing a Song with Pooh Bear. It has been included as a bonus feature on Growing Up with Winnie the Pooh: A Great Day of Discovery DVD.

The song was also performed by Carly Simon. A music video was released for this version and it was included on the DVD and Blu-ray releases of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

Lyrics
Original= Deep in the hundred acre wood Where Christopher Robin plays You'll find the enchanted neighborhood Of Christopher's childhood days

A donkey named Eeyore is his friend And Kanga and little Roo There's Rabbit and Piglet And there's Owl But most of all, Winnie the Pooh

Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff He's Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh Willy nilly silly old bear

Winnie the Pooh (Pooh!), Winnie the Pooh (Pooh!) Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff He's Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh Willy nilly silly old bear Deep in the hundred acre wood Where Christopher Robin plays You'll find the enchanted neighborhood Of Christopher's childhood days
 * -|2011 Film=

A donkey named Eeyore is his friend And Kanga and little Roo (and Tigger too!) There's Rabbit and Piglet And there's Owl But most of all, Winnie the Pooh

Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff He's Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh Willy nilly silly old bear

Winnie the Pooh (Pooh!), Winnie the Pooh (Pooh!) Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff He's Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh Willy nilly silly old bear

Trivia

 * When the original song was written, Tigger did not appear in Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree, hence his exclusion from the song. In the 2011 Winnie the Pooh film, Tigger was added in the lyric, "and Kanga, and little Roo (and Tigger too!)"
 * However, this did not stop them from excluding Piglet, who also did not appear in Honey Tree. At the time the song was written, Piglet was originally intended to be replaced by Gopher, before the decision was made to have both of them live in tandem.
 * In the documentary film Pursuing Happiness, Richard Sherman recalled when a college student asked him how much money he made from the song. He said that during the Baby Jessica incident in 1987, Jessica asked her mother from the well to sing this song to her to help her feel better, saying that if Winnie the Pooh could get out of a tight spot, she can too.
