The Big Picture If there's one film destined to forever stand the test of time, it's the 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz. Based on L. Frank Baum's beloved novel, the musical extravaganza is the ultimate classic. From its larger-than-life sets, to its iconic characters and, of course, its beautiful story, the film has garnered an adoring fan base and a slew of spin-offs, including Wicked, which has become a long beloved classic itself.
"Jitterbug" was an odd and expensive ditty that the producers decided to leave on the cutting room floor and for good reason. The song was supposed to take place as Dorothy, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Cowardly Lion set out to defeat the Wicked Witch of the West at the behest of the Wizard. But the Witch is on to the heroes and sends out the Jitterbug to stop them. According to Slashfilm, the bug was going to force the gang to dance... the Jitterbug .
Hard as it may be to believe, The Wizard of Oz was not a success during its initial release. It found success in later years thanks to cable and re-releases, in no small way, thanks to the film's everlasting appeal. But while making the film, the producers had an inkling that "Jitterbug" was a little too specific to the time. The song's namesake was a dance craze during the time of the film's making and was to be the choreography which the cast performed.
