The Wizard Of Oz - If I Only Had A Heart

The Wizard Of Oz(1939) If I Only Had A Heart.
Buddy Ebsen was originally cast, but due to allergic reaction from the aluminum powder makeup, Ebsen was replaced by Jack Haley.
Lyrics:
When a man's an empty kettle
He should be on his mettle
And yet I'm torn apart
Just because I'm presumin'
That I could be kinda human
If I only had a heart
I'd be tender, I'd be gentle
And awful sentimental
Regarding love and art
I'd be friends with the sparrows
And the boy that shoots the arrows
If I only had a heart
Picture me a balcony
Above a voice sings low
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
I hear a beat, how sweet!
Just to register emotion, jealousy, devotion
And really feel the part
I could stay young and chipper
And I'd lock it with a zipper
If I only had a heart

[@disneyrules7808]

Fun Fact: The lady who sang the line "wherefore art thou, Romeo?" is Adriana Caselotti, the voice of Snow White in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). She was also paid $1000 for her only line in the film.

originally the tin man was played by buddy ebson and his costume was made of lead and his face was painted in aluminium dust this caused him to suffer from lead poisoning and he was rushed to hospital the director then called the hospital and demanded he come to work but the hospital denied it. so he was replaced with jack haley and the costume was changed to cardboard and metal and grey face paint. you can find the original version of the song on youtube sung by ebson.

Jack Haley grew up in Boston. This is reflected in his accent here - “No haht”

[@superjackster0165]

Here’s a little fun fact. Jack Haley did not use his normal speaking voice when playing the Tin Man, only when playing Hickory, one of the farm hands in Kansas. His normal speaking voice contained none of the almost falsetto-like quality that the Tin Man's did. This was Haley's own idea, and he himself said that this was the tone of voice that he used when relating bedtime stories to his then-small son, Jack Haley Jr.. The effette voice also contributed to the whole "Friends of Dorothy" mythology.

[@arbytv5139]

[@SillyCreatureSally]

And you'd never guess he was brought in at the last minute. I mean, a similar thing happened with Fraggle Rock in 1981 when casting was underway. Not many people know that Karen Prell actually auditioned to play Mokey, because she thought she had more in common with her. She was understandably a little disappointed when she was cast as Red, but she eventually found out that she really did have a lot of Red inside. And she still performs Red to this day!

[@MaskedMan66]

They were both acting. I'm not saying that they weren't friends, they were (and had acted together in a movie the year before they started work on _Wizard_ ), but they were just following the script and their directions. Nevertheless, you wouldn't ever suspect that he'd been brought in at the last minute, would you? 🙂

Out of the three this one takes my favorite spot because of the Jack’s dance moves and his much slower poetic lyrics. Brain is my second favorite because I love the lyrics but it’s a shorter scene. As for Nerve… I like the Lion but I can never for the life of me just start singing If I Only Had The Nerve where as the other two I can just start singing them no problem.

[@andrewrivera190]

Ah, I see why. Because Nerve is a bit short and is kinda overshadowed by the other actors. The Lion sadly doesn’t get the spotlight to himself as the other two do for their songs.

[@SillyCreatureSally]

The Lion does eventually get the spotlight in the song, If I Were King of the Forest. You're right, Heart is the best, because that's where the Tin Man shows he already has a heart. (And I certainly think Haley was better, because I have heard Ebsen's version and it's a bit more mechanical.) There was planned to be a dance following Brain, and it's all that's been found out of the lost footage. It's available right her on KZbin.

Trivia: In the scene where the Tin Man sings “If I only Had A Heart”, there is a voice that says “Wherefore art thou, Romeo?”. It's Adriana Caselotti (the voice of Disney’s Snow White from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs), her only other film role.

[@MaskedMan66]

The Tin Man reminds me a little bit of Mr. Spock from _Star Trek._ Vulcans were supposed to have No Emotions, but every time an episode focused upon Mr. Spock, mister 'Pillar of Stone' was always on the edge of an emotional breakdown. The Tin Man already _has_ a gentle heart, he just needs somebody to share it with.

[@notmyrealname3576]

To me, if I only had a heart resonates even stronger with Data from Star Trek The Next Generation. He’s an android, and while he definitely doesn’t feel in the same way other humans do, he isn’t without feeling as much as he claims. He was taught for a long time that an android couldn’t be many of the things he deeply wanted to be. His greatest desire is to be human, he doesn’t want to stop being an android, he just wants to be a human too. He must have been inspired by the Tin Woodsman because his character arc and desire to be a person who can feel resonates with him in so many ways. The irony of someone so gentle and kind and caring, and selfless believing that they cannot love is profound. His earnest wish to be human is the most human thing of all. Of the human members of the cast, he is the most human of all. Data’s character mirrors Spock as his opposite. Spock is ashamed of his humanity and attempts to suppress and hide his boundless emotion that he sees as a weakness and a threat to those around him. Vulcan feelings are so much more potent than human emotions, and so for them the only way to think critically, logically and ethically was to learn to suppress their emotions. Humans are the opposite: when we suppress our emotions we cannot escape them, we merely no longer recognise their sway over us and we become aggressive and cruel to ourself and others and leave those who are in tune with their emotions to pick up the pieces and do the emotional labour that the emotionally repressed person should have taken responsibility and accountability to do so themselves. For humans their is no choice between emotion and logic, because we cannot function without fully understanding and reconciling both as necessary for a healthy mind. Emotion is meaning, logic is understanding. You cannot understand without meaning, and you cannot find meaning without understanding. Spock is both Human and Vulcan, both knowing he has a ‘heart’, wishing he didn’t, and wishing that he could have emotions without shame and self-loathing. While Data isn’t a particularly emotional person, and from an outside perspective he seems like he would make for a very successful Vulcan. In reality though, his desire to be human is in and of itself the most human thing of all. Sometimes he will describe an experience he has had in his forthright and earnest way, and he will say the most heartfelt, heartbreaking thing you’ve ever heard, only to say that he is incapable of feeling sadness but he imagines that of he could, it would make him sad. He will sometimes say that his feelings cannot be hurt, but it becomes more and more apparent that this not only isn’t true, he genuinely believes that what he experiences is not important enough to be considered equally valid as organic human feelings, despite them evidently being incredibly important to him. Brent Spiner plays him with such subtlety and nuance and innocence and humour and dignity, and as someone who has been made to feel like I don’t belong, Mr. Data is the Star Trek character I think I relate to the most alongside Mr. Spock. They are both so different and yet they are two sides of the same coin. I chose to listen to this song today because I had been watching Star Trek TNG, and Data reminds me of it. So to see another Trekkie see parallels between these characters was a welcome surprise :) LLAP 🖖

If you watch carefully you will notice that Dorothy isn't holding her basket in one shot but then in the next shot it magically appears

I have to wonder what the film would be like with Buddy Ebsen (Jed Clampett) as he was originally cast in the role. It'd be interesting to hear him sing, but stillI can't picture anyone but Jack Haley singing this song. There's no way to describe it other than "heartfelt."

[@SillyCreatureSally]

Ebsen's recording is out there. It's honestly hard to get used to. Different accent, no emotion. I can only wonder what his performance would have been like.

[@Unownshipper]

@@SillyCreatureSally Wow... I just heard it. Hard to imagine there's an alternate timeline where that was the version we got. I wouldn't call it emotionless per se, but that recording definitely doesn't capture the longing that Haley imbued into his rendition.

[@SillyCreatureSally]

@@Unownshipper As it happens, there are some people who would have preferred Ebsen. Mostly because they missed the point of the story, which is that the Tin Man had a heart all along.

[@goovinguy8596]

I think Ebsen was a better dancer but I think Haley had the singing part done way better

[@SillyCreatureSally]

@@goovinguy8596 I agree. Haley's voice was gorgeous.

“Saw a man in the movies who didn’t have a heart, how I wish ..I could give him mine, then I wouldn’t have to feel it breaking all apart.. and this emptiness inside would suite me just fine. It’s times like these, I wish I were the tinman. You could hurt me all you wanted, and I would never even know. I’d give anything, just to be the tinman, cause I wouldn’t have a heart, and I wouldn’t miss you so.” -Kenny Chesney

[@MaskedMan66]

Except that he did have a heart all along.

[@2woRaw]

Everyday i feel more like the tin man

[@aresee8208]

Everyone remebers there were 4 of them (with the Cowardly Lion). But the were 5. Toto is in practically every scene in the movie.

[@user-tl9xh5rw1w]

Buddy ebsen was supposed be tin man but he got sick or had allergic reactions to powder or makeup. He was good actor i seen on youtube other people singing this and in plays. But no one i mean no sung or play this role better than jack haley ❤😊

[@peterheimsoth159]

It wasn't an allergic reaction; the aluminum powder clogged his bronchial passages. But he went on to a long life and career, creating two T.V. icons: Jed Clampett and Barnaby Jones. He died in 2003 at the age of 95.

If I am not mistaken wherefore art thou Romeo was the same actress as Snow White you can see them looking around when she says it but she is off camera
