As opposed to the passive and forelorne "Somewhere over the rainbow", "We're Off to see the Wizard" is proactive & upbeat - plus Sam Harris (to my knowledge) never tortured us with his version of it.

"Over the Rainbow". I just downloaded a version last week by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, love it.

Ryan, that was the version they used in ER, as mentioned above. It's a really nice version.

I think I first heard it in "50 First Dates" and again recently at my daughter's last dance competition.

Michael and Troy have the crux of the issue. When I was a kid "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" always left me very sad, whereas "We're Off to See the Wizard" was upbeat, even jaunty (although I got tired of my D & D group singing it every time I sent them, uh, off to see a wizard). I'll go with "We're Off to See the Wizard" anyway. Fun song.

Saturday, 5/22 toss-up: better Sandman - street clothes or Frightful Four costume?

Frightful Four costume, mainly because that was my first exposure to the character.

I just clicked the 'most recent post' thingy and all I see is Jason's comment here, so I'm going to just guess at the toss-up today without bothering to check and answer:

No clothes.
