Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

"Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" is a popular song written by Frank Churchill with additional lyrics by Ann Ronell, which originally featured in the 1933 Disney cartoon Three Little Pigs, where it was sung by Fiddler and Fifer Pig as they arrogantly believe their houses of straw and twigs will protect them from the Big Bad Wolf. The song's themes made it song a huge hit song during the Great Depression, and it still remains one of the most well-known Disney songs, also being covered by numerous artists and musical groups.
