Flying Monkey Song from "The Wizard of Oz"
Composed by Harold Arlen
Short and sweet, this is the tune the flying monkeys chant as the "heroes" prepare to
storm the wicked witch's castle. The piece doesn't have an official title in the
score or soundtrack.
The melody is basically just two notes, A & E (tonic and dominant in A minor) repeated
ad nauseum. On the "Yo" the vocal slides up a whole step, from D to E. Enjoy!
The melody:
