Uses in Club Penguin[edit]
The song was first used in Penguin Chat. [citation needed]
The song was used in Club Penguin from its launch date in August 22, 2005, up until the game shutdown, in March 30, 2017, sometimes being temporarily removed for parties. It was also used in the Book Room, since the game's origin.
Its first known use in the flash game was under ID number 1, where it was used since the game's launch [citation needed]. In that SWF, it used the loops available in the "Set of 4 music loops", with the first playing, and then it would play randomly, incrementing an extra loop into the random poll each time. As the music of the time, the music was heavily compressed.
The music was replaced with versions with slightly higher quality in later years[When?]. It was used in the SWF of ID 429 where the 4 loops would play in a single clip and sequentially, with custom ambience, and in SWF of ID 669, which was the same music clip as 429, but with different ambience[citation needed].
After the release of the Club Penguin App[When?], the song also played in the Coffee Shop[citation needed].
