Whistle While You Work is a song written by Frank Churchill and Leigh Harline for the 1937 animated movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It was performed in the movie, at least unofficially, by voice actress Adriana Caselotti.

In pop culture

*The song is also heard in the 1988 film Splash, Too the sequel to the 1984 film Splash during a scene when Allen and Madison fix up their new home that Allen's brother Freddie got for them after he sold his apartment and afterwards Madison whistles the song as well while making Breakfast.
*A reference to the song was made in the first episode of "DuckTales"; at one point, Scrooge McDuck tells an employee "There'll be no whistling while you work!"
*A children's parody version of the song often uses lyrics such as "Hitler is a jerk, Mussolini is a weenie." (Or in a more vulgar vein, "...Mussolini "bit" his weenie, now it doesn't squirt!")
*The song was also parodied on the British sitcom "Dad's Army" where Pike remarks "Whistle while you work, Hitler is a twerp. He's half barmy, so's his army"
*The "Family Guy" episode "Whistle While Your Wife Works" is a parody of the name of the song.
*The song is paid tribute to in Disney's "Enchanted" with "Happy Working Song".
