The table below contains all known Mouseketeer Fun With Music Day musical numbers and skits appearing in the third season of the original Mickey Mouse Club, by order of appearence. If you find that your favorite number doesn't appear here, it might have been an Anything Can Happen Day skit.
Storylines and dialogue writing credits for the skits may be assumed to be the same as those listed for the songs, except where noted. Where available, images and video links have been provided from the actual show. For some of the shows there is simply nothing available. Only original broadcast appearences are listed; reruns are excluded, as are those first season numbers presented as "requests", and guest star shows shown on Mondays.
Most of the information below was extracted from original research done by Bill Cotter, however, any errors of fact or mistakes in interpretation are my own.
