"Over the Rainbow", also known as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", is a single by Judy Garland prominently featured in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. A sentimental ballad, it was composed by Harold Arlen and its lyrics were written by Yip Harburg.[3]

"Over the Rainbow" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and became Garland's musical breakthrough and signature song. It has been included in several all-time lists, preserved by many organizations, and continued to be covered by several artists in varying languages. In 2001, it was named the Song of the Century by the RIAA and the NEA. In 2017, the song was selected for induction into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Background and recording

[edit]

Composer Harold Arlen and lyricist Yip Harburg often worked in tandem, Harburg generally suggesting an idea or title for Arlen to set to music, before Harburg contributed the lyrics.[4] For their work together on The Wizard of Oz, Harburg claimed his inspiration was "a ballad for a little girl who... was in trouble and... wanted to get away from... Kansas. A dry, arid, colorless place. She had never seen anything colorful in her life except the rainbow". Arlen decided the idea needed "a melody with a long broad line".[5]

By the time all the other songs for the film had been written, Arlen was feeling the pressure of not having the song for the Kansas scene. He often carried blank pieces of music manuscript in his pockets to jot down short melodic ideas.

About five minutes into the film, Dorothy sings "Over the Rainbow" after failing to get Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, and the farmhands to listen to her story of an unpleasant incident involving her dog, Toto, and the town spinster, Miss Gulch (Margaret Hamilton). Aunt Em tells her to "find [her]self a place where [she] won't get into any trouble". This prompts her to walk off by herself, musing to Toto, "Someplace where there isn't any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat, or a train. It's far, far away. Behind the moon, beyond the rain", at which point she begins singing.

On October 7, 1938, Judy Garland recorded the song on the MGM soundstage with an arrangement by Murray Cutter. The song was originally sung in A-flat major.[6] In the movie, a renowned Stradivarius violin was used in the accompaniment.[7] In late July 1939, Garland re-recorded the song for the record label Decca,[1] which she was under contract to.[8]

Music and lyrics

Arlen described how the inspiration for the melody to "Over the Rainbow" came to him suddenly while his wife Anya drove: "I said to Mrs. Arlen... 'let's go to Grauman's Chinese ... You drive the car, I don't feel too well right now.' I wasn't thinking of work. I wasn't consciously thinking of work, I just wanted to relax. And as we drove by Schwab's Drug Store on Sunset I said, 'Pull over, please.' ... And we stopped and I really don't know why—bless the muses—and I took out my little bit of manuscript and put down what you know now as 'Over the Rainbow.'"[9] Arlen later wrote the contrasting bridge section based on the idea of "a child's piano exercise".[10]

An introductory verse ("When all the world is a hopeless jumble...") that was omitted from the film is sometimes used in theatrical productions of The Wizard of Oz and is included in the piano sheet music from the film. It was used in versions by Cliff Edwards, Tony Bennett, Al Bowlly, Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Mandy Patinkin, Trisha Yearwood, Melissa Manchester, Hilary Kole, Jewel, Eva Cassidy, and Norma Waterson. Judy Garland sang the introductory verse at least once, on a 1948 radio broadcast of The Louella Parsons Show.[11] Lyrics for a second verse ("Once by a word only lightly spoken...") appeared in the British edition of the sheet music.[12]

Italian newspaper Il Messaggero has noted a resemblance, both harmonic and melodic, between Over the Rainbow and the theme of the intermezzo (known as Ratcliff's Dream) of Pietro Mascagni's 1895 opera Guglielmo Ratcliff.[13]

Release history

[edit]

This song and "The Jitterbug"[A] from the same recording sessions are the only songs from The Wizard of Oz that Judy Garland recorded commercially.[14] And it was this recording, not the one from the film soundtrack, that was released on the 78-rpm gramophone record that was part of the Decca four-record album titled The Wizard of Oz.[1] Although this is not the version that appeared in the film, the "studio cast album" was commercially successful, and Decca continued to release it into the 1960s, also reissuing on 3313 rpm.

The film version of "Over the Rainbow" was unavailable for purchase on record until The Wizard of Oz soundtrack album was released by MGM in 1956 to coincide with the television premiere of the movie.[15] The soundtrack album has been re-released several times over the years, including a deluxe edition issued on Rhino Records in 1995.[16]

Legacy

[edit]

After the film The Wizard of Oz appeared in 1939, "Over the Rainbow" became Garland's signature song. She performed it for thirty years and sang it in the same way as she did for the film. She said she wanted to remain true to the character of Dorothy and to the message of being somewhere over the rainbow.[17]

People have speculated that Gilbert Baker's creation of the rainbow flag was inspired by the song (Garland being among the first gay icons),[18][19] but when asked, Baker said that it was "more about the Rolling Stones and their song 'She's a Rainbow.'"[20] In 2001, it was sent as an audio wakeup call to astronauts aboard the STS-88 space shuttle mission on Flight Day 4, dedicated to astronaut Robert D. Cabana by his daughter Sara.[21] In 2005, a lyric from "Over the Rainbow" appeared on a commemorative stamp honoring Yip Harburg by the United States Postal Service.[22] According to his family, Gene Wilder died in 2016 while listening to "Over the Rainbow" sung by Ella Fitzgerald, one of his favorite songs.[23][24]

Recording session

[edit]

On the album Facing Future (1993), Israel Kamakawiwoʻole included "Over the Rainbow" in a ukulele medley with "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. At 3 a.m one morning in 1988, Kamakawiwo'ole called a recording studio to request a session. Its owner and engineer, Milan Bertosa, agreed to record him if he could get there in 15 minutes.[28]

Bertosa said, "And in walks the largest human being I had seen in my life. Israel was probably like 500 pounds. And the first thing at hand is to find something for him to sit on." A security guard gave Israel a large steel chair. "Then I put up some microphones, do a quick sound check, roll tape, and the first thing he does is 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow.' He played and sang, one take, and it was over."[28]

Bertosa hung onto that tape and when Kamakawiwoʻole was recording Facing Future five years later he suggested that the song be included on that album, which went on to become the best-selling Hawaiian album of all time.[28]

Chart activity and sales

Kamakawiwoʻole's version reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot Digital Tracks chart during the week of January 31, 2004 (for the survey week ending January 18, 2004).[29] In the U.S., it was certified Platinum for million downloads sold.[30] As of October 2014 it had sold over 4.2 million digital copies.[31]

In Germany, the single also returned to the German Singles Chart in September 2010. After two weeks on that chart, it received gold status for selling 150,000 copies.[32] In October 2010, it reached number one on the German charts. In 2011 was certified 5× gold for selling over 750,000 copies.[32] It stayed at the top spot for twelve non-consecutive weeks and was the most successful single in Germany in 2010.[33] In March 2010 it was the second best-selling download in Germany with digital sales between 500,000 and 600,000.[34][35] In France, it debuted at number four in December 2010 and reached number one.[36] In Switzerland, it received Platinum status for 30,000 copies sold.[37]

Kamakawiwoʻole's version of "Over the Rainbow" has been used in commercials, films and television programs, including 50 First Dates, Charmed, Cold Case, ER, Finding Forrester, Horizon, Life on Mars, Meet Joe Black, Scrubs, Snakes on a Plane, Son of the Mask, and the television series South Pacific.

On December 3, 2001, the British singer Cliff Richard recorded a cover of the mashup "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" on his album Wanted. At the time of release the official website for the album explained that it consisted of "hits Cliff's always 'Wanted' to record."[61] The album is primarily made up of cover songs, including songs by artists such as Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Carole King and Tina Turner. The inspiration for the album came when Richard was sent a copy of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's recording of "Over the Rainbow" combined with "What a Wonderful World" weeks into the year 2000 and he knew immediately he wanted to record it.[62]

The mashup reggae-themed track with a lot of similarities to the Israel Kamakawiwo'ole arrangement was released as the debut single from the album Wanted and charted on the UK Singles Chart peaking at number 11 and stayed for six weeks on the UK chart.[63] Richard premiered it on the Open House with Gloria Hunniford on November 6, 2001. On the date of release of the single on December 3, 2001, he was invited to the ITV program This Morning to perform it live. He also performed it at the Premier Christmas Spectacular at Methodist Westminster Central Hall in London on December 14, 2001.
