Wizard of Oz Music

So my two favorite classic children's stories are Alice In Wonderland and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. "Alice" is currently getting a lot of attention, what with the recent live action movie and tons of music inspired by the stories and movies. But "Oz" is a little quieter. It's kind of sad. So, naturally, I took it upon myself to accumulate as many "Oz" songs as possible and I discovered that there is no internet list of Oz songs. None. Nowhere. It's shameful.

I certainly don't expect to have found all the "Oz" songs in one night, but I certainly will go ahead and share these with you.

Home by Breaking Benjamin has actually been a favorite song of mine for a long time, and it was the only "Oz" inspired song I'd ever heard. It's amazing, so you should definitely look it up.

Don't Wake The Scarecrow by the Felice Brothers is pretty lame. It's pretty boring to listen to, and when you actually pay attention the lyrics you're just kind of like, "...aaaawkward..."

Return To Oz by The Scissor Sisters, on the other, is actually pretty cool. The Scissor Sisters usually have some rather strange music, but this song is a keeper.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John is the first Elton John song I've really liked. Go figure.

Old Yellow Bricks by Arctic Monkeys is very good. I've been an Arctic Monkeys fan for a while, and yet I'd never heard of this song, which is a shame.

Yellow Brick Road by Kris Delmhorst is very good. It's gorgeous, and ridiculously obscure.

And Your Little Dog Too by Hannah Fury was actually inspired by the book Wicked (which I don't recommend), but it goes fine with the original "Oz" and is very awesome and creepy anyway.

It Was Her House That Killed Nessarose also by Hannah Fury is just as creepy as "Little Dog", though not quite as good.

Those are all the "Oz" songs I've been able to find and listen to. A few others popped up during my search, but I could never find an actual version to listen to, so I don't know if they're real songs or not. But I'm not giving up my search!
