Wizard of Oz Debate

This song won't go away in my head. Guess I need to mention it to my coworkers so I won't be the only one humming it all day long.

Well thanks for straigtening THAT out. I was never sure what it was until now.


Ooh..I have a trivia question and three gold stars whoever gets the answer right.

In the movie, Dorothy's shoes were ruby colored. But in the book, they were of a different color. What color were they?

Silver in the books. But Silver just doesn't look as good on the big screen.

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

Wow.

I'm surprised you knew that. (can't find my gold star stickers at the moment, so three gold sun stickers will have to do. )

I own most of the books so it's not too hard to remember.

BTW have you ever seen Tik-Tok at WDW? I haven't seen him in about 10 years but at one point they had Tik-Tok from The Return to Oz in the backstage tour area. He was way up on some catwalk area with alot of other props but it was really cool to see him.

Yes, silver shoes. The book was origionally written as a political thing. There was an issue about one party wanting the silver standard instead of the gold standard for currency. I wish I could remember the whole elaborate story we learned in my college history class.

I have seen that movie 30 times on TV, have the tape and DVD, always thought it was 'kids'. I learn something EVERY day here.

Gotta agree with this! My son watched this movie no less than, oh, 10,000 times! LOL!!

It is the lollipop guild. My sister did the Wizard of Oz as a play in kindergarten, and she had the lyrics to all the songs- it is definitely guild.

I never knew it was anything but guild!

Yup... I'm a nerd... even had that book (and others) right here on my shelf!!.....................P

I'm a nerd too. I have the book too.

I have an autograph from Jerry Maren who played the lollipop guild guy that handed the lollipop to Dorothy. Quite ironically, he signed it "Jerry Maren - Lollipop KID".
