Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true


Dorothy's was not the only voice to record this queer fave. Houston's OutSmart has published a list of -- wait for it -- more than 50 versions. They range from jazz (Chet Baker and Errol Garner) and country stars (Martina McBride and Willie Nelson), to a rendition by closet case Liberace, natch. And Guns N Roses fuuuuuuck yeeeeeeeeah. Er, sorry, got into it, there.

The round-up honours composer Harold Arlen, born 100 years ago. And selected music lovers pick their faves.
