"The Dwarfs' Yodel Song" is a popular song from the 1937 Disney animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The song was composed by Frank Churchill, with lyrics by Larry Morey. It was first premiered on December 21, 1937, when the film was released in the United States. The song is performed by the seven dwarfs - Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey - as they return home from working in the diamond mine. The song is divided into two movements, with the first movement being a yodeling chorus and the second movement being a solo by each of the dwarfs. The first movement of the song is characterized by its upbeat tempo and the use of yodeling, which is a traditional form of singing from the Alps. The yodeling is used to convey the dwarfs' joy and excitement at returning home after a hard day's work. The second movement of the song is characterized by its slower tempo and the use of solo vocals by each of the dwarfs. Each dwarf sings a short verse that describes their personality and quirks. The song has become one of the most iconic and recognizable songs from the film, and has been covered by numerous artists over the years. It is often used in parodies and references in popular culture, and is a beloved part of the Disney canon.
