The Wizard Of Oz _ If I Only Had A Heart

The Tin Man wishes for a heart.

really interesting how plain the shot is, yet the emotion the actors put into the lines is so engaging you don't even notice

Fun Fact: The lady who sang the line "wherefore art thou, Romeo?" is Adriana Caselotti, the voice of Snow White in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). She was also paid $1000 for her only line in the film.

*Lyrics*

When a man's an empty kettle he should be on his mettle
And yet I'm torn apart
Just because I'm presumin' that I could be kind-a-human
If I only had heart ♥️
I'd be tender - I'd be gentle and awful sentimental
Regarding Love and Art
I'd be friends with the sparrows 🕊
And the boy who shoots the arrows 🏹
If I only had a heart ♥️
Picture me - a balcony. Above a voice sings low

*Wherefore art thou, Romeo?*

I hear a beat....
How sweet
Just to register emotion, jealousy - devotion
And really feel the part
I could stay young and chipper
And I'd lock it with a zipper
If I only had a heart ♥️

*(Instrumental)*

The Tin Man is my absolute favourite character in this movie. He is NOT, of course, my favourite character of all, as he kinda ties with Chuckie from Rugrats and Bliss from the Powerpuff Girls, and while I like all of them a lot, I kinda like Entrapta more, because Entrapta is me. Then again, Bliss lost control of her powers, and I can't control myself. And still, I feel like the Tin Man when these mean boys walk up to me and say Entrapta's DEAD. (As an autistic girl, I find it VERY offensive.) And I am also very much like Chuckie. Seriously, the Tin Man is one of my fictional crushes, along with Bow (my favourite She Ra character besides Entrapta).
