abstract
  • %22The Trolley Song%22 is a song written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane and made famous by Judy Garland in the 1944 film Meet Me in St. Louis. In a 1989 NPR interview, Blane said the song was inspired by a picture of a trolleycar in a turn-of-the-century newspaper. In 1974 he had said that the picture was in a book he found at the Beverly Hills Public Library and was captioned %22Clang, Clang, Clang, Went the Trolley.%22Blane and Martin were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 1945 Academy Awards, for %22The Trolley Song%22 but lost to %22Swinging on a Star%22 from Going My Way. %22The Trolley Song%22 was ranked #26 by the American Film Institute in 2004 on the 100 Years... 100 Songs list. The song as conducted by Georgie Stoll for Meet Me in St. Louis has a very complex, evocative arrangement by Conrad Salinger featuring harmonized choruses, wordless vocals, and short highlights or flourishes from a wide range of orchestral instruments. When the song was recorded on the set of Meet Me in St Louis, it was done in a single shot.
