Do you remember the studio album Meco Plays the Wizard of Oz? It was released in 1978 by Meco. I remember the 45 record Over the Rainbow-We’re Off To See The Wizard disco medley. You could hear the voices of the record from the 1939 movie the Wizard of Oz starring Judy Garland. You could hear the wicked witch and the cowardly lion.

Witch: I'll get you my pretty!
Lion: Put em up! Put em up!

If any more Wizard of Oz movies are made, I think they should include Meco’s disco medley. The song could be used at the end. There are 14 Oz books written, and in my opinion, the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz is still the best. Someone with a great imagination could do lots more. L. Frank Baum wrote plenty of stories.

Remember Meco has a whole studio album with songs from the Wizard of Oz that got transformed into a disco album. There are 15 tracks when I heard Meco’s Over The Rainbow-We're Off To See The Wizard disco medley, I thought he was a genius.
