"Me the Mouse (and I'm the Duck)" is a song from the House of Mouse episode "Daisy's Debut". Daisy Duck is given a chance to perform a duet with Mickey Mouse at the club, which makes Minnie Mouse feel left out. When Daisy notices this, she fakes a broken leg and has Minnie perform in her place. During their performance, Minnie, having not rehearsed the song earlier, initially misunderstands the lyrics and pronounces the words the same way Mickey does when she's supposed to pronounce them differently, until Mickey clues her in on how the song is supposed to go.
Sebastian makes a cameo during the song's bridge.
