Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee (An Actor's Life)

"Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee" is a song from the 1940 animated film Pinocchio, notable as being the first Disney Villain song ever in the Disney Animated Canon. It is performed by Honest John as he and Gideon take Pinocchio to Stromboli's Caravan, telling the wooden boy that he will be a star there. The tune is used throughout the film to represent temptation despite sounding cheery; Honest John again sings it when taking Pinocchio to the Coachman ("It's Pleasure Isle for me!") An instrumental portion is heard when Pinocchio and a group of boys are taken to Pleasure Island , and the tune is heard being played on calliope while the boys enjoy themselves. Lampwick also whistles it to himself as he plays pool.
