    The orchestration and arrangement of the music is at the genius level.

    There is no doubt in my mind that this was the best song in the movie.

    Judy is an amazingly Beautiful, Divine, glorious and stunning and breathtaking actress. I wish to God that her life was a Thousand times beyond better, greater, nicer, happier and decent than it ever was.

      Among the wonderful things about this wonderful song is the chorus singing while Judy's worried where her boyfriend is, it's a delicious tension.. It runs like track thru the whole song

    Judy Garland recorded "The Trolley Song" in a single take.
    "The Trolley Song" was ranked #26 and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" was ranked #72 by the American Film Institute in 2004 on the 100 Greatest Songs in American Films list.
    "The Trolley Song" had a long and painful gestation period. Producer Arthur Freed was a notoriously inarticulate man, and all he could describe to composers Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane was his desire for "a song for Judy to sing on the trolley." The two songwriters came up with three such numbers, wildly different in tone and rhythm, and Freed summarily turned each one down, reporting that he would "find a place for it" in his upcoming Ziegfeld Follies (1946). What he wanted for this spot, they came to realize, was a number about the trolley itself. Exasperated, Martin and Blane retreated to their local public library to research the history of transportation in St. Louis. One book showed a picture of a turn-of-the-century trolley car, captioned "Clang! Clang! Clang! went the jolly little trolley." The men went to work and, upon hearing the finished product, Freed exclaimed, "That's the song for Judy!"

    What a wonderful piece of film nostalgia. Judy just glides through the song. She was a very special actress and a good singer too. Apart from dropping the sweet wrapper from the tram i can not fault it.

      It’s new. Nobody who loves the old feels the same way about the new, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Innovation always irritates people and to be judged fairly , must be judged at a fair distance.

    Thank you for this. The amount of talent that made this gift for us is truly astounding. Every "Extra" performer is a substantial talent in themselves and only background because Judy Garland is extraordinary. The costumes, makeup, hair, sets, all so carefully chosen as for a moving painting. The SONG! Vincent Minnelli must have valued his supporting players so much. He sure knew how to give them character and motive and contribute joy. What a director.
