"I Love a Parade" is a popular song composed by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Ted Koehler, first introduced in 1931. It was officially released in 1932, famously performed by Harry Richman. The song debuted in the revue Rhythmania, which featured Duke Ellington’s orchestra.
The tune became a jazz standard and was prominently featured in the 1932 Merrie Melodies cartoon of the same name, directed by Rudolf Ising. In the cartoon, a circus-themed marching band and various animated animals perform the lively number.
