Review about Judy Garland Get happy? I AM! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Get Happy! performed by Judy Garland
I love the optimism of this ditty from summer stock!
I wish I had fishnets, a fedora, and a tux. I'd perform this in a Judy-esque costume! My compliments to the late Frances Ethel Gumm, a.k.a Judy Garland.

------ About the song The Boy Next Door performed by Judy Garland
This song is more than just your average movie tune! Young girls everywhere have figurative boys next door, and Ms. Garland's performance touches on that. "Meet Me In St. Louis" is a grand film with even grander songs. However, this one is the most glorious song. I'm pretty young, so I happen to have a boy next door! That might influence my love of this classic. "It's plain to see, there's no hope for me, though I live at 5135 Dorky Kids Avenue, and Mitch lives at 5133!" Hahaha!
The Trolley Song | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The Trolley Song performed by Judy Garland
The scene in "Met Me in St. Louis" where she sang this song is so well-done -Garland looked so radiant in her modest black get-up amidst the flashier outfits of the other women on the trolley. When she sees the man she sings about, she is visibly overcome, and sings so beautifully this song on the rocking trolley. She dances about like a little girl who found a new toy; her very pretty eyes flashed as she described this mystery man to the other girls. At the end of the song, she realizes that the guy was right next to her, and the scene ends with Garland pointedly embarassed, reclining from her stupor into a chair, giving him a sheepish "'sup?" look. A classic song that has stayed fresh to this day.
The first time I heard this song was when they used it before the beginning of the old movies on TNN. They had a guy singing just the stanza and changed the last line of it to: 'So always look for the silver lining, and try to find the sunny side of life.'
What a great song this is. I wish you'd add the tune to this web site so I could sing along with it.
Absolutely exquisite | Reviewer: Chris
------ About the song The Boy Next Door performed by Judy Garland
What a beautiful love song! It works on every level no matter how old you are. I recently heard it on Sinatra's "Swing Easy!" album, an odd collection for such a sweet, tender tune. It was very familiar but I couldn't place it, yet it seemed like 'boy' was the correct wording rather than his 'girl.' So I went to the ever-trusty Google.com and sure enough, the original IS about the BOY next door! I can see Judy singing it in "Meet Me in St. Louis." A wonderful film, too, and this song is one of its highlights.
Grammatical correction | Reviewer: Rich
------ About the song Smiles performed by Judy Garland
I loved the song. I learned it back in 7th grade music class in 1954. The only correction is in the last line. It should read "are the smiles that you GIVE to me." I has to be "give" and not "gave" in order to agree with the present tense of the preceding line: But the smiles that FILL (not FILLED)my life with sunshine.
delightful song from one of the best musical film | Reviewer: patrick lentze
------ About the song Snooky Ookums performed by Judy Garland
snooky ookums is one of many delightful and splendid songs from one of the greatest musical film in movie history. easter parade (1948) has always been one of my all-time favourite movies.
I have the Judy Garland CD and it stops at "so
the pretty girl was milking her cow".
I have searched and searched for these lyrics.
I belong to a Chorale group and I plan on singing
this as a solo in June of 08. What are my
chances of getting the sheet music?
I had only heard this song many years ago in the 1945/6 version of "State Fair" where it made very little impression on me. I have for many years been an admirer of Judy Garlands singing talent but when I quite by chance put this old record on to test a repaired radiogram today it was a revalation.
Her version, according to some sources was cut from "Meet me in St Louis" 1944.
But it is in all ways SO superior to the later version that despite 60 years worth of scratches it affected this retired electronics engineer very deeply.
In effect it is the song that "You'll never walk alone" should have been.
The unfortunate changes in the later version remind me very much of the "Bowderlerised" versions of "Have yourself a merry little Christmas" that on e hears every December compared with her original.
If you can find a copy of these songs listen for yourself and perhaps you will see what I'm getting at.
Of all the people who have sung this song, it still remains Judy's special melody. If your not a movie trivia or movie maniac you probably have no idea where this comes from. Before Easter Parade began filming, Judy and Irving had some publicity photos, and also shared a dance or two. She made a comment that maybe this would inspire one of the new songs for the picture. Later on Irving came over as he was leaving and sliped her a piece of paper. He said, don't show this to anyone, yet. On that paper he had written the words "it only happens when I dance with you." She later said that she had always concitered this her own special melody. In the begining she was not even going ot sing the song in the picture, but things happened and luckily, she did. Right after she sings the song in the picture, Fred Astaire says to her "Why didn't you tell me I was in love with you?" The line she had heard once before in For Me and My Gal, from Gene Kelly, who was also schedules to play Don Hughs in Easter Parade, until he broke his leg in rehersals. Now you knok, how much there is behind this song. If you wish to learn more about Easter Parade, or this song, It was just released on special edition dvd, right in time for Easter.
"I've tried to please, I hope I did."
