"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"是1939年,電影版綠野仙蹤 (The Wizard of OZ) 的插曲,也是20世紀百大名曲票選第一名。飾演Dorothy的Judy Garland因為小狗Toto的緣故,被忙於農事的嬸嬸責罵,更要她找個不會惹麻煩的地方待著,Dorathy傷心之餘唱了這首極具美國象徵意義的歌曲。
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Judy Garland 也曾客串參加 Fanny Brice 的廣播劇"The Baby Snooks Show"演出。Fanny Brice是美國20、30年代的知名諧星,因其誇張的表演方式,被譽為America's Funny Girl。她以40歲的高齡,出演機車的 Baby Snooks角色,演出十分搞笑。
