The Wizard Of Oz - If I Only Had A Heart
The Wizard Of Oz(1939) If I Only Had A Heart.
Buddy Ebsen was originally cast, but due to allergic reaction from the aluminum powder makeup, Ebsen was replaced by Jack Haley.
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 kinda human
If I only had a 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 that 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

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.

originally the tin man was played by buddy ebson and his costume was made of lead and his face was painted in aluminium dust this caused him to suffer from lead poisoning and he was rushed to hospital the director then called the hospital and demanded he come to work but the hospital denied it. so he was replaced with jack haley and the costume was changed to cardboard and metal and grey face paint. you can find the original version of the song on youtube sung by ebson.
In high school I tried to play the tin man as true to the movie as possible watching this scene on loop for months. I was even determined to get the facial expressions right.

Here’s a little fun fact. Jack Haley did not use his normal speaking voice when playing the Tin Man, only when playing Hickory, one of the farm hands in Kansas. His normal speaking voice contained none of the almost falsetto-like quality that the Tin Man's did. This was Haley's own idea, and he himself said that this was the tone of voice that he used when relating bedtime stories to his then-small son, Jack Haley Jr.. The effette voice also contributed to the whole "Friends of Dorothy" mythology.

Actually the tin man didn’t have a heart. Even Oz said that “he was lucky not to have one.”
i only saw this movie for the first time a few days ago and somehow i know the lyrics to this already, they just got themselves into my head. i love how he sings here, you can really see and hear his sadness and sensitivity, like every time he sang “if i only had a heart” he had been daydreaming about how wonderful things would be and remembered he didn’t have a heart at that point. i think this really cemented him as my favorite of dorothy’s friends, that and that i feel i can relate to him in how people view my own emotions

As he would explain it, he knows that there is a right way to treat people, and until he gets a heart, he doesn't want to be unkind. As we all know, however, he really does have a kindness and a compassion to him which are left from the days when he was flesh and blood and did have a physical heart.

Trivia: In the scene where the Tin Man sings “If I only Had A Heart”, there is a voice that says “Wherefore art thou, Romeo?”. It's Adriana Caselotti (the voice of Disney’s Snow White from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs), her only other film role.

Out of the three this one takes my favorite spot because of the Jack’s dance moves and his much slower poetic lyrics. Brain is my second favorite because I love the lyrics but it’s a shorter scene. As for Nerve… I like the Lion but I can never for the life of me just start singing If I Only Had The Nerve where as the other two I can just start singing them no problem.

The Lion does eventually get the spotlight in the song, If I Were King of the Forest. You're right, Heart is the best, because that's where the Tin Man shows he already has a heart. (And I certainly think Haley was better, because I have heard Ebsen's version and it's a bit more mechanical.) There was planned to be a dance following Brain, and it's all that's been found out of the lost footage. It's available right her on KZread.

The Tin Man reminds me a little bit of Mr. Spock from _Star Trek._ Vulcans were supposed to have No Emotions, but every time an episode focused upon Mr. Spock, mister 'Pillar of Stone' was always on the edge of an emotional breakdown. The Tin Man already _has_ a gentle heart, he just needs somebody to share it with.

To me, if I only had a heart resonates even stronger with Data from Star Trek The Next Generation. He’s an android, and while he definitely doesn’t feel in the same way other humans do, he isn’t without feeling as much as he claims. He was taught for a long time that an android couldn’t be many of the things he deeply wanted to be. His greatest desire is to be human, he doesn’t want to stop being an android, he just wants to be a human too. He must have been inspired by the Tin Woodsman because his character arc and desire to be a person who can feel resonates with him in so many ways. The irony of someone so gentle and kind and caring, and selfless believing that they cannot love is profound. His earnest wish to be human is the most human thing of all. Of the human members of the cast, he is the most human of all. Data’s character mirrors Spock as his opposite. Spock is ashamed of his humanity and attempts to suppress and hide his boundless emotion that he sees as a weakness and a threat to those around him. Vulcan feelings are so much more potent than human emotions, and so for them the only way to think critically, logically and ethically was to learn to suppress their emotions. Humans are the opposite: when we suppress our emotions we cannot escape them, we merely no longer recognise their sway over us and we become aggressive and cruel to ourself and others and leave those who are in tune with their emotions to pick up the pieces and do the emotional labour that the emotionally repressed person should have taken responsibility and accountability to do so themselves. For humans their is no choice between emotion and logic, because we cannot function without fully understanding and reconciling both as necessary for a healthy mind. Emotion is meaning, logic is understanding. You cannot understand without meaning, and you cannot find meaning without understanding. Spock is both Human and Vulcan, both knowing he has a ‘heart’, wishing he didn’t, and wishing that he could have emotions without shame and self-loathing. While Data isn’t a particularly emotional person, and from an outside perspective he seems like he would make for a very successful Vulcan. In reality though, his desire to be human is in and of itself the most human thing of all. Sometimes he will describe an experience he has had in his forthright and earnest way, and he will say the most heartfelt, heartbreaking thing you’ve ever heard, only to say that he is incapable of feeling sadness but he imagines that of he could, it would make him sad. He will sometimes say that his feelings cannot be hurt, but it becomes more and more apparent that this not only isn’t true, he genuinely believes that what he experiences is not important enough to be considered equally valid as organic human feelings, despite them evidently being incredibly important to him. Brent Spiner plays him with such subtlety and nuance and innocence and humour and dignity, and as someone who has been made to feel like I don’t belong, Mr. Data is the Star Trek character I think I relate to the most alongside Mr. Spock. They are both so different and yet they are two sides of the same coin. I chose to listen to this song today because I had been watching Star Trek TNG, and Data reminds me of it. So to see another Trekkie see parallels between these characters was a welcome surprise :) LLAP 🖖

Because he sang “picture me a balcony above a voice sings low” meaning that if he had a heart he would fall in love and go after the girl he likes and stand at the bottom of her balcony at night waiting for her to come out and as she does she’ll ask “wherefore art thou, Romeo?” In a low volume so her parents don’t find out he’s there. It’s a scene in like a lot of romance novels and movies especially Romeo and Juliet one of the most famous ones.
