"The Big Bow Wow" is a song from the stage play Snoopy!!! The Musical and the animated TV special of the same name. It is sung by Snoopy when he finds out that he has been promoted to Head Beagle.
A different, faster version of the song recorded by Don Potter appears in Happy Birthday, Charlie Brown. Animation from this version was reused in the Snoopy!!! animated special.

- Snoopy: In! If you don't mind the Head Beagle would like to be left alone to prepare his acceptance speech.
- Charlie Brown: I recognize that kick! That's the kick of someone who would like to be alone to make his acceptance speech.
- Snoopy: I don't think that's an unreasonable request.
- Charlie Brown: And considers that a reasonable request!
- Lucy (to Charlie Brown): Weird!
- Snoopy: Just think, Head Beagle! I wish I knew where Mom was. Beautiful moments were meant to be shared.
