O Johnny

[aslansgirl92]

I was soooooooooooooo upset when they did not put that song on the soundtrack!!!!! At first i thought that it might be because it is really short-but the lullabye was really short also. Then I realized that it is probably because they didn't create that song for LWW but it was a popular song in like the 40s. I really love songs that are like that!!!

[she-elfwarrior19]

Yeah i wish they had,i love that song so much, its great to dance to and listen to:D:D
Thats exactly why they put that song in lol:D
Welcome to the site too:)

[Aslan the Wise one]

I kind of liked it too But I love the soundtrak. I play it dayly!.

[aslansgirl92]

i know!! I usually listen to it while i am doing my school (i am homeschooled) and when i am going to sleep. it helps my math lesson go by quicker. hehehhe

[she-elfwarrior19]

Good ol' math
I play it daily aswell@!!!!!:)

[Daishi]

It's not on there because it doesn't fit the overall experience of the soundtrack, good a song though it may be.

If you like it try to find it and buy it. Check out jazz and and swing from that era. For a generic starter band you could start with the Swingfield Big Band.

[PrinceOfTheWest]

It was the Andrews Sisters. My wife, who knows music of that era, explained. I don't know which of their recordings it was on.

Here's my original post concerning the "Oh Johnny" Song
http://www.narniafans.com/forum/showthread.php?p=71732

"Oh Johnny" is a World War I era wartime song that became incredibly popular in the 1940's (World War II era), at the same time this movie takes place. It was originally composed by Ed Rose and Abe Olman, but was popularized in the 40's by Glen Miller and the Andrew Sisters.

Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny!
How you can love!
Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny!
Heavens above!
You make my sad heart jump with joy,
And when you're near I just
Can't sit still a minute.
I'm so, Oh, Johnny! Oh, Johnny!
Please tell me dear.
What makes me love you so?
You're not handsome, it's true,
But when I look at you,
I just, Oh, Johnny!
Oh, Johnny! Oh!

They also couldn't get it because of copyrights. The copyright rules are fairly lax as far as putting songs in a movie but on the soundtrack is much more difficult. It costs a good deal more money and its not an original song so it is not as necessary on the Narnia soundtrack That's why a lot of soundtracks don't always have the same songs that are on the movie.

All this is true. But the most popular version of the song was performed by Little Bonnie Baker. :)

[Rhyanidd]

errr quick question when was that song played???? I almost never pay attention to the music in movies until I am sick of watching the movie, though sometimes I pick up on music in movies if its like the only sound in the movie, so where was it played???

[she-elfwarrior19]

It was played when the kids are hiding for hide and seek.

[Rhyanidd]

ok thanks....hmmmm....dont remember any music then but like I said....

i was really upset about it too!

[elie05]

I really did not like that song. It annoyed the hell out of me. But then again, i've never liked olden day music.

[peterluvr4evr89]

i like that kind of stuff!

[peterluvr4evr89]

i found it on itunes if you have itunes type in "oh,johnny,oh"

[elie05]

Lol, i'm not saying u shoudnt! But i just dont like that olden day music. Its really boring I think. I would of hated to be living in those times, with that sort of music :eek:

[peterluvr4evr89]

i like big band and swing and that type of stuff!

[elie05]

Lol, thats my most hated music. I mainly only listen to RnB anyways

[peterluvr4evr89]

well it is an awuired taste! lol

[elie05]

I hardly think its weird! lol. Most of the world loves RnB, and hates classical music. In my opinion all classical music sort of sounds the same, the tunes are all the same as are the singers. Its annoying to listen to! lol But thats just my opinion :o

[peterluvr4evr89]

i like SOME classical.

[SacredSpirit]

i know!! I usually listen to it while i am doing my school (i am homeschooled) and when i am going to sleep. it helps my math lesson go by quicker. hehehhe

ooooooooooooooo i hate you

just kidding

wish i was homeschooled

[Daishi]

Whoah.

Oh Johnny is NOT classical music. It's swing/big band era stuff. At the same time of the swing/big band era, there was still Cowboy, Bluegrass, etc starting to form into a movement. There were all sorts of musical movements.

Classical music is Beethoven, Chopan, Mozart, and even then you break down their styles into Baroque, Romantic, etc., because they have significantly different sounds between eras.

Sorry if I'm being picky, but I'm a musician.

[elie05]

Well when i say classical i mean OLD, real OLD, and boring too. But the fact remains that the song sux. I like the evacuating london song though heheh.

[Daishi]

Yeah, you sound young. Real young.

[elie05]

Who me? lol, i'm 16. I dont think thats young. Are you old? I guess old people do like classical and swing music and stuff like that.

[she-elfwarrior19]

Im 14 and im love music like that!!!!!
Im eclectic, which means:D I like all kinds of different styles, like i like opera,rock and roll, rap, classical, old swing ect. I love the O Johnny song i want to download it.

[~Rogue~]

I love the Oh Jonny song. If anyone wants it, just PM with your MSN addy or e-mail and I'll send it to you.

I love classical music amongst other things - it's like Marmite.

[she-elfwarrior19]

[Parthian King]

That song was what made me the most excited about geting the soundtrack for Christmas. What a letdown to find it wasn't on there.

[~Rogue~]

I think I e-mailed someone the song but don't remember who......................

[she-elfwarrior19]

I know you e-mailed it me, and thanks again i have listened to it so many times lol
thanks again.

[sukapesta]

i dunno guys, i like the song, but i don't like the placement in the movie... i feel they should've used a song with little or no vocals...

[she-elfwarrior19]

Really?Thats cool....im glad they added it when they did.

[Twilight]

Ha ha, yeah, I thought that song was totally awesome! It's totally not my music taste but I liked it anyways. :p They should've put it in the soundtrack.
