Trivia

*Walt Disney didn't like the song when he first heard it. Songwriter Bob Sherman explained to Disney that to bugs, other bugs weren't ugly, even if they looked ugly to us, beauty being in the eye of the beholder. Disney liked the idea and the song went on to become one of the most popular songs of the year.Fact|date=August 2008

*A line from the song's introduction — "The little critters of nature, they don't know that they're ugly." — is included in "The Ren and Stimpy Show"'s "Happy Happy Joy Joy" song, performed in a parody of Ives' style.
