"When You Wish Upon a Star" is a song written by Leigh Harline
and Ned Washington for Walt Disney's 1940 adaptation of Pinocchio. The original
version was sung by Cliff Edwards in the character of Jiminy Cricket, and is
heard over the opening credits and in the final scene of the film. The song has
since become the representative song of The Walt Disney Company. The recording
by Cliff Edwards and Chorus was released by Victor Records as catalogue number
261546 and 26477A (in the US) and by EMI on the His Master's Voice Label as
catalogue number BD 821.
Edwards recorded another version in 1940 for an American Decca Records "cover
version" of the score of Pinocchio, conducted by Victor Young and
featuring soprano Julietta Novis and The King's Men. It was first released on a
4-record 78-RPM album set, and years later as one side of an LP, backed by
selections in grayscale and black and white and technicolor from The Wizard of
Oz. A recording with Christian Rub (with Mister Geppetto’s voice), Cliff
Edwards and Chorus was released by Victor Records as catalogue number 26479B
(in the US) and by EMI on the His Master's Voice label as catalogue number BD 823.
It won the 1940 Academy Award for Best Original Song. It was also the first
Disney song to win an Oscar.
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true.
