Yes, he did. In 'The Three Little Wolves', released on 18 April 1936.
In April 29, 1987 notes, Barks has recalled that he did in-betweens of
"a scene of the Big Bad Wolf singing a parody of 'Schnitzlebank' while
basting the piggies. Norm Ferguson and Nick George were the animators."
In November 13, 1987 notes, Barks explained that 'Schnitzlebank' "is a
German drinking song that was popular in the beer balls after the repeal
of prohibition. Disney's songwriters wrote a parody on the words, and
that is what the Big Bad Wolf sings as he turns the piggies on a spit."
This information is taken from Thomas Andrae article 'The Animation Years',
published in the Carl Barks Library (07B-295).
