I Wished on the Moon

"I Wished on the Moon" is a song composed by Ralph Rainger, with lyrics by Dorothy Parker. It was first recorded in 1935 by Ruth Etting.Bing Crosby sang the song in The Big Broadcast of 1936.

Crosby recorded the song on August 14, 1935 with The Dorsey Brothers Orchestra and it reached the charts of the day peaking at No. 2 during a 7-week stay. At the end of the long recording session, Crosby decided to sing only a single chorus of the song in the middle of an orchestral version instead of the full ballad version used in the film. This led to a long argument between the singer and producer Jack Kapp. Eventually Crosby prevailed.
Crosby recorded the song again in 1954 for his album Bing: A Musical Autobiography.

Little Jack Little also enjoyed chart success with the song in 1935 reaching the #13 spot.
