Three blind mice was also used as a theme song for The Three Stooges.

The song has been banned from many ice hockey leagues, because it used to be played after a bad call by one of the three on-ice officials.

There is much speculation as to whether this song was written originally as a protest against the U.S. Government, each mouse representing a branch of government. No solid evidence exists to prove or disprove this theory.
