“Radish So Red” is the musical ditty that spoofs the poetic ode form, written
by Charles Wolcott (music), T. Hee, and Erdman Penner (lyric) for the
animated movie The Reluctant Dragon (1941). When the flakey knight Sir
Giles (voice of Claude Allister) learns that his opponent, the docile Dragon,
likes to write poetry, the amateur poet shares one of his own creations, talksinging
this musical tribute to the red root vegetable.
“The Rain, Rain, Rain Came Down, Down, Down” is the insistent
staccato song by Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman that has a plunking
sound that imitates the sound of raindrops falling. A studio chorus sings the
rhythmic number on the soundtrack of the Oscar-winning film short Winnie
the Pooh and the Blustery Day (1968) as Pooh and his friends brave a
rainstorm and a flood in the Hundred Acre Wood.
“The Rainbow Road to Oz” is the repetitive but catchy title song Buddy
Baker (music) and Tom Adair (lyric) wrote for a proposed Disney film
based on the stories by L. Frank Baum. Walt Disney gave viewers a preview
of the movie in 1957, when three musical numbers were performed by the
Mouseketeers on an episode of the weekly television show Disneyland.
Princess Ozma (Annette Funicello) leads the cast in showing Dorothy (Darlene
Gillespie), the Scarecrow (Bobby Burgess), and the Patchwork Girl
(Doreen Tracey) which road will take them to the city of Oz.
