"You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" was written by Dr. Seuss to go with the TV special How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It was recorded in 1966 by Thurl Ravenscroft for the cartoon but since he wasn't listed in the closing credits, many thought that Boris Karloff, the narrator and voice of the Grinch, sang it.
