We are just really disappointed this song didn't make an appearance in the movie.
FUN FACTS!
Ron Moody would later reprise his role as Merlin in A Kid in King Arthur's Court (1995).
Oddball is one of the few films released under the Disney banner where pornography (i.e. Playboy) is mentioned.
Kenneth More (King Arthur) replaced an actor who dropped out.
The velocity that was faster than the speed of light which the NASA spacecraft "Stardust" could fly, was 290,000 miles per second.
This was Kenneth More's final film before his death on July 12, 1982 at the age of 67.
