Over the Rainbow - wikipedia Over the Rainbow This article is about the 1939 song. For other uses, see Over the Rainbow ( disambiguation ). `` Over the Rainbow '' Song by Judy Garland Published 1939 Genre Ballad Composer ( s ) Harold Arlen Lyricist ( s ) E.Y. Harburg `` Over the Rainbow '' is a ballad, with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by Yip Harburg. It was written for the movie The Wizard of Oz and was sung by actress Judy Garland, in her starring role as Dorothy Gale. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and became Garland 's signature song, as well as one of the most enduring standards of the 20th century. About five minutes into the film, Dorothy sings the song after failing to get Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, and the farmhands to listen to her relate an unpleasant incident involving her dog, Toto, and the town spinster, Miss Gulch ( Margaret Hamilton ). Aunt Em tells her to `` find yourself a place where you wo n't get into any trouble ''. This prompts her to walk off by herself, musing to Toto, `` Some place where there is n'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.

The American Film Institute also ranked the song the greatest movie song of all time on the list of `` AFI 's 100 Years... 100 Songs ''. The very first artist to record the song was actually big band singer Bea Wain, but MGM prohibited the release until The Wizard of Oz ( 1939 ) had opened and audiences heard Judy Garland perform it. It was adopted ( along with Irving Berlin 's `` White Christmas '' ( 1942 ) ) by American troops in Europe in World War II, as a symbol of the United States. Judy Garland performed it for them as part of a 1943 performance. In April 2005, the United States Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp recognizing lyricist Yip Harburg 's accomplishments ; it features the opening lyric from the song. The song was used as an audio wakeup call in the STS - 88 space shuttle mission in Flight Day 4, which was dedicated to astronaut Robert D. Cabana from his daughter, Sara. The song was honored with the 2014 Towering Song Award by the Songwriters Hall of Fame and was sung at its dinner on June 12, 2014 by Jackie Evancho. In April 2016, The Daily Telegraph listed the song as number 8 on its list of the 100 greatest songs of all time. In March 2017, Garland 's original rendition of the song was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally, historically, or artistically significant. '' The Wizard of Oz The song 's sequence and the entirety of the Kansas scenes were directed by King Vidor, though he was not credited. The song was initially deleted from the film after a preview in San Luis Obispo, because MGM chief executive Louis B. Mayer and producer Mervyn LeRoy thought it `` slowed down the picture '' and that `` the song sounds like something for Jeanette MacDonald, not for a little girl singing in a barnyard. '' However, the persistence of associate producer Arthur Freed and Garland 's vocal coach / mentor Roger Edens to keep it in the film eventually paid off - it 's for this sequence that the film is best known and remembered. At the start of the film, part of the song is played by the MGM orchestra over the opening credits. A reprise of it was deleted after being filmed. An additional chorus was to be sung by Dorothy while she was locked in the Witch 's castle, helplessly awaiting death as the hourglass ran out. However, although the visual portion of that reprise is presumably lost, the soundtrack of it survives and was included in the 2 - CD Deluxe Edition of the film 's soundtrack, released by Rhino Entertainment in 1995. In that extremely intense and fear - filled rendition, Dorothy cries her way through it, unable to finish, concluding with a tear - filled, `` I 'm frightened, Auntie Em, I 'm frightened ! '' This phrase was retained in the film and is followed immediately by Aunt Em 's brief appearance in the crystal ball, where she is soon replaced by the visage of the witch ( Hamilton ), mocking and taunting Dorothy before turning toward the camera to cackle. Another instrumental version is played in the underscore in the final scene, and over the closing credits. Original Garland recordings `` Over the Rainbow '' from The Wizard of Oz A sample of the original version of `` Over the Rainbow '' from The Wizard of Oz, sung by Judy Garland. Problems playing this file ? See media help. On October 7, 1938, Judy Garland first recorded the song on the MGM soundstages, using an arrangement by Murray Cutter. In September 1939, a studio recording of the song, not from the actual film soundtrack, was recorded and released as a single by Decca Records. In March 1940, that same recording was included on a Decca 78 - RPM four - record studio cast album entitled The Wizard of Oz. Although this is not the version of the song featured in the film, Decca would continue to re-release the so - called `` Cast Album '' well into the 1960s after it was re-issued as a single - record 33 ⁄ RPM LP. It was not until 1956, when MGM released the true soundtrack album from the film, that the film version of the song was made available to the public. The 1956 soundtrack release was timed to coincide with the television premiere of the film. The soundtrack version has been re-released several times over the years, including in a `` Deluxe Edition '' from Rhino Records in 1995. ' Over the Rainbow ' has become part of my life. It 's so symbolic of everybody 's dreams and wishes that I 'm sure that 's why some people get tears in their eyes when they hear it. I 've sung it thousands of times and it 's still the song that 's closest to my heart. `` '' -- Judy Garland, in a letter to Harold Arlen Following the film 's release in 1939, the song became Garland 's signature song and she would perform it for the next 30 years, until her death in 1969. She performed it without altering it, singing exactly as she did for the film. She explained her fidelity by saying that she was staying true to the character of Dorothy and to the message of really being somewhere over the rainbow. In 2017, Garland 's recorded rendition of the film was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally, historically, or artistically significant. '' Lyrics An introductory verse ( `` When all the world is a hopeless jumble... '' ) that was not used in the film is often used in theatrical productions of The Wizard of Oz and is included in the piano sheet music book of songs from the film. It was also used in renditions by Frank Sinatra, by Doris Day on her album Hooray For Hollywood ( 1958 ) ( Vol. 1 ), by Tony Bennett on his albums Tony Bennett Sings a String of Harold Arlen ( 1961 ) and Here 's to the Ladies ( 1995 ), by Ella Fitzgerald, by Sarah Vaughan, and by Norma Waterson, among others. Garland herself sang the introductory verse only once, on a 1948 radio broadcast of The Louella Parsons Show. Lyrics for a second verse ( `` Once by a word only lightly spoken... '' ) appear in the British edition of the sheet music. A second bridge is also used occasionally in theatrical productions. The short reprise, deleted from the final cut of the film, uses the melody of the bridge ( or `` B '' section ). Pop singer Pink performed the song with the introductory verse at the 86th Academy Awards on March 2, 2014, in celebration of the film 's 75th anniversary. International artists The first German version in English language was recorded by the Swing Orchestra Heinz Wehner in March 1940.

Translations The song has been translated into Esperanto twice. The first translation was by Londoner Harry Holmes. The second, more recent, translation was by Pejno Simono.

The song can also be heard in an ironic context in the Vincent Price horror film, Dr. Phibes Rises Again ( 1972 ). A version sung by Olivia Newton - John is used in the 1997 movie Face / Off, directed by John Woo. Director Nora Ephron used two different versions of the song in her movies Sleepless in Seattle ( 1993 ) and You 've Got Mail ( 1998 ). They 're by Ray Charles and Harry Nilsson, but only Nilsson 's is included on a soundtrack release of the films.
