    Question SOLVED What is the name of this Jiminy Cricket song? (Please listen)

    Solved.
    Here's a Disney question:
    What is the name of this Jiminy Cricket song?
    The Lyrics are:
    Jiminy and I, and I don't care, Jiminy and I, and I don't care.

    Here's the Christmas parody tune (It Must Be Santa), that I got the song from (Please listen):

    Compare to It Must Be Santa:
    What is the name of this parody song, that Jiminy Cricket did, using the "Jiminy and I, and I don't care" lyrics, to this song?
    I also remember one of Jiminy Cricket's songs using the lyrics "I'm no fool, no sure we".

    I am not sure what you are looking for.
    The song sample you provided is "Must Be Santa" by Christmas Songs.
    It appears to sample the music from an old folk song (circa 1840) called "Blue Tail Fly" or "Jimmy Crack Corn (and I don't care)".
    Them that can, do; them that can't... memorize Artist and Title

    Wow! That got solved quickly! Here's a "Blue Tail Fly & Jimmy Crack Corn" version done by Bugs Bunny, with all the verses:

    I think it's often interesting to know the background too--this was an old American slave song that came to be a folk song or so-called "nursery song."
    See Wiki for a short explanation and the lyrics written out, explaining what a serious song it was at its inception, despite it's very lilting tune:
