Published InYip Harburg Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Quote of the Month

You will never find my songs among the most plugged except in one or two instances such as “[Over the] Rainbow” and so forth. The reason being that I am not interested primarily in writing popular songs. I like to write what seem to me good songs and if by chance they become popular that is just so much velvet.

Yip Harburg, letter to Paul Strickland, Oct. 24, 1944

Mr. Strickland was a fan of popular music who kept track of song plugs on the radio and sent his findings to the tunesmiths of the day.
