Answer 2

The song was especially written to showcase Judy Garland's talents in the star vehicle The Wizard of Oz, and she was forever after called upon to sing it in all her public appearances, for it became her lifelong theme song.

Quoted;
Over the Rainbow", music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by Yip Harburg, is one of the most famous songs of the late 1930s.

Many feel the song epitomizes the hopes and dreams of youthful aspiration for an ideal world of love and joy. The song was especially written to showcase Judy Garland's talents in the star vehicle The Wizard of Oz, and she was forever after called upon to sing it in all her public appearances, for it became her lifelong theme song.

Its plaintive melody and simple lyrics depict a pre-adolescent girl's desire for an escape from the "hopeless jumble" of this world, from the sadness of raindrops to the bright new world "over the rainbow". It expresses the childlike faith that "Heaven" will magically "open a door" to a place where "troubles melt like lemon-drops".

However, with the rise of rainbow imagery linked to the gay community in the 1970s the song also lends itself to a more nuanced interpretation. The rainbow flag is often used as a symbol of gay pride, and the lyrics speak of a better life to come on the other side of that rainbow. As Garland is a well known gay icon, this interpretation is quite fitting.

The song tops the "Songs of the Century" list compiled by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts. It also topped the American Film Institute's "100 Years, 100 Songs" list.

The American troops in Europe in WWII adopted the song, as well as Irving Berlin's "White Christmas", as a symbol of the US, that faraway land that, after long years of war, seemed like a dream, beyond the rainbow. Modern listeners may be unaware that the song had an introductory stanza, as this was not sung in the film by Garland.

The song has come to epitomize the gesture of the rising octave, which makes its opening so distinctive. Sight-singing instructors and other musicians use the song as an example and a reference point for hearing the interval.
