''One Hundred and One Dalmatians'' was the first Disney animated feature film to be a non-musical. To have music involved in the narrative, Peet used an old theater trick by which the protagonist is a down-and-out songwriter. However, unlike the previous animated Disney films at the time, the songs were not composed by a team, but by [[Mel Leven]] who composed both lyrics and music.{{sfn|Koenig|1997|page=118}} Previously, Leven had composed songs for the [[UPA (animation studio)|UPA]] animation studio in which animators, who transferred to work at the Disney studios, had recommended him to Walt Disney.<ref>{{cite interview |url = https://animatedviews.com/2008/dalmatians-101-spot-light-on-songwriter-mel-leven/ |subject = William Leven |title = ''Dalmatians'' 101: "Spot"-light on songwriter Mel Leven |interviewer = Jérémie Noyer |publisher = Animated Views |date = March 3, 2008 |access-date = May 21, 2018 |archive-date = May 22, 2018 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180522112536/http://animatedviews.com/2008/dalmatians-101-spot-light-on-songwriter-mel-leven/ |url-status = live }}</ref> His first assignment was to compose "Cruella De Vil," of which Leven composed three versions. The final version used in the film was composed as a "bluesy number" before a meeting with Walt in forty-five minutes.{{sfn|Koenig|1997|page=118}}

The other two songs included in the film are "Kanine Krunchies Jingle" (sung by [[Lucille Bliss]], who voiced Anastasia Tremaine in Disney's 1950 film ''[[Cinderella (1950 film)|Cinderella]]''), and "Dalmatian Plantation" in which Roger sings only two lines at its closure. Leven had also written additional songs that were not included in the film. The first song, "Don't Buy a Parrot from a Sailor," a [[cockney]] chant, was meant to be sung by Jasper and Horace at the De Vil Mansion. A second song, "Cheerio, Good-Bye, Toodle-oo, Hip Hip!" was to be sung by the dalmatian puppies as they make their way into London.{{sfn|Koenig|1997|pages=118-119}} A third song titled "March of the One Hundred and One" was meant for the dogs to sing after escaping Cruella by van. Different, longer versions of "Kanine Krunchies Jingle" and "Dalmatian Plantation" appear on the [[Walt Disney Records|Disneyland Records]] read-along album based on the film.<ref name="ehrbar">{{cite web |url = https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/101-dalmatians-on-records/ |title = 101 Dalmatians on Records |first = Greg |last = Ehrbar |date = February 10, 2015 |access-date = July 4, 2017 |publisher = Cartoon Research |archive-date = September 17, 2017 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170917035245/http://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/101-dalmatians-on-records/ |url-status = live }}</ref>

The [[Sherman Brothers]] wrote a title song, "One Hundred and One Dalmatians", but it was not used in the film.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Noyer |first1=Jérémie |title=Scales and Arpeggios: Richard M.
