==Music== {{For|the 78 rpm album|Meet Me in St. Louis (album)}} The musical score for the film was adapted by [[Roger Edens]], who also served as an uncredited associate producer. [[Georgie Stoll]] conducted the orchestrations of [[Conrad Salinger]]. Some of the songs in the film are from around the time of the St. Louis Exposition, and others were written for the film. * "[[Meet Me in St. Louis, Louis]]," [[Kerry Mills]] and [[Andrew B. Sterling]], 1904. * "[[The Boy Next Door (song)|The Boy Next Door]]", [[Hugh Martin]] and [[Ralph Blane]], 1944, performed by Judy Garland. * "[[Skip to My Lou]]", traditional, with sections sung to the tunes of "[[Kingdom Coming]]", "[[Turkey in the Straw]]" and "[[Yankee Doodle]]" arranged by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, 1944 * "I Was Drunk Last Night," performed by Margaret O'Brien. * "Under the Bamboo Tree," words and music by [[Bob Cole (composer)|Robert Cole]] and the Johnson Bros., 1902, performed by Judy Garland and Margaret O'Brien. * "Over the Banister," 19th-century melody adapted by Conrad Salinger, lyrics from the 1888 poem "Over the Banisters" by [[Ella Wheeler Wilcox]], adapted by Roger Edens (1944), performed by Judy Garland. * "[[The Trolley Song]]", Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, 1944, performed by Chorus and Judy Garland. * "You and I," [[Nacio Herb Brown]] and [[Arthur Freed]], sung by Freed, the film's producer, and Denny Markas (the young woman in blue on the trolley, as seen in one of the pictures below), voices dubbed for Leon Ames and Mary Astor. * "[[Goodbye, My Lady Love]]", instrumental, [[Joseph E. Howard]], 1904. * "[[Little Brown Jug (song)|Little Brown Jug]]", instrumental, [[Joseph Winner]], 1869. * "[[Down at the Old Bull and Bush]]," instrumental, [[Harry von Tilzer]], 1903. * "[[Home! Sweet Home!]]", instrumental, [[Henry Bishop (composer)|Henry Bishop]], 1823/1852. * "[[Auld Lang Syne]]", instrumental * "[[The First Noel]]", instrumental * "[[Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas]]," Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, 1944, performed by Judy Garland. The song's lyrics were originally different. Lyricist Hugh Martin's opening lyrics were deemed too depressing by Judy Garland, Tom Drake, and Vincente Minnelli, and Martin changed them. The lyrics originally were: "Have yourself a merry little Christmas / It may be your last / Next year we may all be living in the past." Years after the film's release, additional lyric changes were made for [[Frank Sinatra]], who objected to the song's generally downbeat tone. ===Deleted song=== Garland's prerecording of "Boys and Girls Like You and Me" survives, but the cut film footage has been lost. This song was originally composed by [[Rodgers and Hammerstein]] for their [[Broadway (theatre)|Broadway]] musical ''[[Cinderella]]'', but was cut prior to its opening.<ref>{{YouTube|id=zoNgPQiB7QA|title=Judy Garland...Boys and Girls Like You and Me (1944)}}</ref><ref>[https://www.vulture.com/2016/11/great-songs-cut-from-beloved-broadway-shows.html "The Best Songs Cut From Hamilton, Oklahoma!, Into the Woods, and 10 Other Beloved Broadway Musicals"] at vulture.com</ref>
