    Imagine being a professional singer and given this song to perform for the first time. They must have thought they'd died and gone to Heaven. Rodgers and Hamerstein's brilliance. What a wonderful legacy they left. Why can't they write songs like this today?

      To be fair this is musical theater which tends to sound different from whatever's playing on the radio and pretty much always has been at least somewhat different. Since musicals don't get as famous as often now we don't hear songs like this very often

    I can see why this is the favourite of Queen Elizabeth. It opened in the spring of 1943, when the war in Europe was at its lowest ebb, and it was like a well needed ray of sunshine. Since it was such an immense hit, Rodgers and Hammerstein always donated a block of seats to the American soldiers on their way to Europe to remind them of what they were fighting for: "We know we belong to the land/ And the land we belong to is grand!"

    We did this for my school musical back in 2017 and it is just one of my favourite memories because we all grew real close. The teachers did great work with us and our director was really great. Especially with pointers. The backstage crew had to watch the whole musical 50 times over while we practiced in the other room.

    I remember first hearing this song when I was just a little kid and immature. Hahaha, I thought it was bland. Then I remember hearing it again, after I'd grown up in Oklahoma, spent my childhood there, made all my best lifelong friends there, and had an amazing time in high school there. It was at a play in a real-life theater that my class got to see our senior year. When I heard that song then, I didn't make fun of it. All my buddies and I stood up and it was one of the best moments of my life. This song really means a lot to us Okies. It may seem bland, but it just represents our way of life and all the great people there. I will always stand for this song, and remember the great times I had with the crew.

    Little known fact...By the time Oklahoma was made Gordon and Shirley Jones had performed together a lot and despite both being married, were deeply in love. In the scene at 2:30, she loses it and tears up with the emotion, and had to look away. But being the pro she was, and with Gordon holding her chin to steady her trembling lips, they finished the number. It was so moving that the cast insisted that the scene was not redone. Shirley Jones has said this was the most important scene of her career.

    • @devydu

      What an interesting piece of trivia regarding this particular scene, which I thought was such a romantic gesture between two newlyweds, not realizing it was real-life emotions between Shirley Jones and Gordon MaRrae. Their beautiful chemistry was later reunited in "Carousel".

      For what it’s worth (I know this comment is two years old, but…) it is not entirely true. Shirley didn’t marry her first husband until 1956, and this movie was made in 1955. Gordon was married to his wife, Sheila, but Shirley was not married. Doesn’t mean the rest of the comment isn’t true-they could very well have been in love and she was upset about it all ending, just that she was not married at the time. That all being said, I have literally wondered my whole life about that little moment, because it did not look scripted and that little nod her gives her seemed like such a private moment between them, so I would not be at all shocked to learn that their unrequited love was the reason for such a moment happening in the film.
