Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Oscars 2014) - Pink - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Over the Rainbow," also known as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," is an iconic ballad from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. Featuring music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by Yip Harburg, it became a defining moment in the movie and a signature piece for Judy Garland, who played Dorothy Gale. The song emerges about five minutes into the film, as Dorothy yearns for a trouble-free world, far from her current woes involving her dog, Toto, and the town spinster, Miss Gulch. The track won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and, over the following decades, became an indelible part of American pop culture. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" gained new life after being covered by Hawaiian singer-songwriter Israel Kamakawiwoʻole in 1993, appearing in several films, series, and commercials. In 2014, American pop singer Pink offered a live rendition of the song at the Academy Awards to commemorate the film's 75th anniversary.
