About: Musical selections in The Wizard of Oz
The songs from the 1939 musical fantasy film The Wizard of Oz have taken their place among the most famous and instantly recognizable American songs of all time, and the film's principal song, "Over the Rainbow", is perhaps the most famous song ever written for a film. Music and lyrics were by Harold Arlen and E.Y. "Yip" Harburg, who won an Academy Award for Best Song for "Over the Rainbow."
- The songs from the 1939 musical fantasy film The Wizard of Oz have taken their place among the most famous and instantly recognizable American songs of all time, and the film's principal song, "Over the Rainbow", is perhaps the most famous song ever written for a film. Music and lyrics were by Harold Arlen and E.Y. "Yip" Harburg, who won an Academy Award for Best Song for "Over the Rainbow." Herbert Stothart, who underscored the film, won an Academy Award for Best Original Score. Some of that underscoring was, of course, based on Harburg and Arlen's songs. Georgie Stoll was the associate conductor and screen credits were given to George Bassman, Murray Cutter (who did "Over the Rainbow"), Ken Darby and for orchestral and vocal arrangements. As usual, Roger Edens was heavily involved as the unbilled musical associate of Freed. Incidental music was contributed by Stoll, Bassman, and also Conrad Salinger. The music to "Optimistic Voices" was written by Arlen and Stothart. The songs were recorded in a studio before filming. Several of the recordings were completed while Buddy Ebsen, who was supposed to have played the Tin Man, was still with the cast. So while he had to be dropped from the cast due to illness from the aluminum powder makeup, his singing voice remains on the soundtrack. It is Jack Haley, who eventually played the role, that is seen and heard singing "If I Only Had A Heart", but Ebsen's voice is still heard on the group vocals of "We're Off To See The Wizard". In those vocals, his voice is easy to detect. Ray Bolger (and also Jack Haley) were speakers with a distinct Boston accent and did not pronounce the r in wizard. Buddy Ebsen was a Midwesterner, like Judy Garland, and pronounced the r. Although an orchestra underscores nearly the entire film, approximately the last third of the movie contains no songs. Once Dorothy and her cohorts are handed the task of killing the Wicked Witch, the mood of the film goes a bit darker. This was not originally intended—the last three songs in the film, "The Jitterbug," the vocal reprise of "Over The Rainbow," and "The Triumphant Return" were all excised from the film before its official release.

Reviews for "Lil Kim's Transformation with Magic Stick: From Rap Queen to Icon"
1. Samantha - 2/5
I was really disappointed with "Magic Stick" by Lil Kim and 50 Cent. The song lacked creativity and the lyrics felt overly explicit without any substance. It seemed like they were trying too hard to be provocative and edgy, but it just came off as crass and vulgar. The repetitive chorus became grating after a while, and the production was forgettable. Overall, "Magic Stick" was just another forgettable track in a genre saturated with similar, forgettable songs.
2. David - 1/5
"Magic Stick" by Lil Kim and 50 Cent was a complete waste of my time. The song had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The lyrics were shallow and lacked any depth or meaning. The beat was generic and unremarkable, making the entire track blend into the background. I was expecting something catchy or memorable, but instead, I got a forgettable and uninspired collaboration. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this song unless you're a die-hard fan of Lil Kim or 50 Cent.
3. Jennifer - 2/5
I found "Magic Stick" by Lil Kim and 50 Cent to be disappointing. The song relied heavily on explicit and provocative lyrics, but there was no substance beyond that. It felt like a cheap attempt to gain attention through shock value instead of focusing on creating a well-crafted and meaningful song. The beat, although catchy, didn't save the track from feeling empty and shallow. Overall, "Magic Stick" failed to leave a lasting impression on me and left me wanting more from both artists.
4. Matthew - 2/5
"Magic Stick" by Lil Kim and 50 Cent was a forgettable, generic song in my opinion. The lyrics were predictable and lacked any real depth or originality. The beat was decent, but it wasn't enough to make up for the lackluster verses. I was hoping for a collaboration that showcased the talents of both Lil Kim and 50 Cent, but instead, I got a run-of-the-mill track that failed to stand out in any way. Overall, "Magic Stick" fell short of my expectations and left me feeling underwhelmed.
