Grateful Dead Family Discography: Mickey Mouse March

Mickey Mouse March

Composer: Jimmie Dodd

The Mickey Mouse March or Mickey Mouse Club March was played by Grateful Dead during tuning breaks in 1969 and 1994 and probably on other occasions. It was also played by the Jerry Garcia Band in the studio in October 1975.

Mickey Mouse March was written by Jimmy Dodd who was the presenter of the Mickey Mouse Club series in the second half of the 1950s. The music was used at the start of each program.

The Grateful Dead play the main theme from the piece in their usual tuning cartoon music style. The original piece also includes a slower section that was used at the end of the TV program. Some recordings with the title Mickey Mouse March (for example those by Julie London and Aaron Neville) comprise only this slower section. These are omitted from the list of recordings below.
